Understanding Addiction
Addiction is a condition where someone feels unable to control their use of a substance or behaviour, even when they know it’s causing harm. It often starts as a way to cope with stress, pain, or emotions, but over time, the need for the substance or activity takes over, making it hard to stop. It affects both the body and mind—changing how the brain works and making it difficult for people to make healthy choices, even if they want to quit.
Many people dealing with addiction struggle with feelings of guilt or isolation because their behaviour can impact relationships, work, and health. But addiction is not a lack of willpower; it’s a complex issue that requires compassion and support. With the right help—like counselling, medical treatment, and support from loved ones—it’s possible to overcome addiction and rebuild a fulfilling, healthy life.
Types of Addiction we help with
Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol addiction, also known as alcoholism or alcohol use disorder, is characterised by an inability to control drinking despite negative consequences. It can lead to physical dependence, where the body needs alcohol to function, and can cause serious health issues, such as liver damage, heart disease, and mental health problems.
We provide a holistic alcohol treatment programme that includes medically supervised detoxification to ensure a safe withdrawal process, as well as individual and group therapy to address underlying emotional issues. Our approach also emphasises building healthy coping mechanisms and rebuilding relationships, supporting individuals to lead a life free from alcohol dependency.
Drug addiction
Drug addiction refers to the compulsive use of substances such as opiates, stimulants, benzodiazepines, and other illicit or prescription drugs. It affects brain function, leading to an overwhelming need to use despite knowing the harmful impacts on health, relationships, and other areas of life.
We offer drug rehab programmes tailored to different types of substances, providing safe, medically monitored detox to manage withdrawal symptoms. Our treatment plans include counselling, behavioural therapy, and holistic approaches like mindfulness and yoga to help clients understand the root causes of their addiction and develop effective strategies for long-term sobriety.
Gambling addiction
Gambling addiction or compulsive gambling, is an impulse control disorder characterised by an uncontrollable urge to gamble despite its negative effects on financial stability, relationships, and well-being. Unlike substance addiction, gambling does not involve a physical substance, but it can be equally destructive.
Our gambling addiction treatment focuses on identifying the triggers that lead to compulsive behaviour and developing healthier coping strategies. We provide individual therapy to understand the underlying emotional or psychological issues contributing to the addiction, as well as group support sessions where individuals can share their experiences and gain encouragement from others in similar situations.
The Prevalence of Addiction in Kent
Addiction is an increasing concern in Kent, prompting Kent County Council to develop a comprehensive drug and alcohol strategy that adopts a whole-system approach. This strategy outlines 13 key priorities, each with specific action plans aimed at addressing different aspects of substance misuse in the county. Insights from recent peer reviews and needs assessments have been used to refine and strengthen these strategic priorities, some of which already have measurable outcomes, while others are still being defined. Looking at Kent’s addiction statistics, it’s clear why a strategy is needed to closely monitor and support addiction levels in the area.
8th
is Kent's ranking in drug crime rate out of 53 counties.
1 in 6
people in Kent binge drink alcohol.
600
admissions per 100,000 people make Dover the district in Kent with the highest rate of alcohol-related hospital admissions.
14,587
adults in Kent were estimated to be dependent on alcohol and potentially in need of specialist treatment in 2018.
The Impact of Addiction on Kent
Addiction in Kent has a significant impact on both crime rates and the healthcare system. Substance misuse contributes to increased crime, with individuals often turning to theft, burglary, and drug-related offences to sustain their addiction. The estimated number of drug-related crimes in Kent underscores this ongoing struggle, affecting the safety of local residents and businesses. Addiction also places considerable pressure on healthcare services, with many people requiring hospital admission for conditions related to alcohol and drug misuse, leading to increased strain on local hospitals and emergency services.
Moreover, addiction affects the mental health and overall well-being of many Kent residents, particularly young people, who are vulnerable to substance misuse as a coping mechanism for stress and anxiety. This has resulted in an increase in mental health-related issues, such as self-harm and depression, further burdening local healthcare facilities. The disparity in life expectancy between the most deprived and least deprived areas of Kent also reflects the broader social impact of addiction, with those in deprived areas more likely to struggle with substance use and its consequences.
After the pandemic, around 308,000 people in Kent were drinking above the recommended levels of alcohol.
Drug offences in Kent increased by 38% during lockdown.

Integrated Care Systems (ICS)
The Kent and Medway Integrated Care System (ICS) brings together healthcare providers, local councils, and community organizations to deliver cohesive addiction treatment and support. The ICS focuses on ensuring that individuals receive consistent and comprehensive care, addressing both substance misuse and related health and social care needs.
One You Kent
One You Kent is a free service offering support, advice, and resources to help individuals lead healthier lives. This includes assistance in reducing alcohol consumption and quitting smoking, which are vital steps in addressing substance misuse and improving overall health outcomes. They provide tools like mobile apps, online information, and referrals to advisors who can offer additional support for those looking to change their habits.
Kent Public Health Initiatives
Public Health Kent collaborates with multiple partners to improve health and well-being across the county. They provide support and treatment for alcohol and drug problems through local providers, while also focusing on preventive measures and community-based initiatives. Their programs aim to tackle the root causes of addiction, providing education, awareness, and accessible support for those at risk.

The Different Types of Addiction Treatment
At Providence Projects, we offer inpatient treatment for our alcohol and drug rehab Kent because this aligns with our philosophy of recovery based on the evidence we’ve found in over 25 years of supporting people.
Inpatient rehab or residential rehab means staying at the facility for continuous, intensive care, while outpatient rehab lets you live at home and fit treatment sessions into your daily life, offering more flexibility and freedom.
While our inpatient approach may be viewed as disruptive to daily life, we have found that this is what is needed from igniting a fully focused journey of recovery.
Being in an immersive and safe space, surrounded by people who deeply understand what you’re going through can be transformative to spark a lasting foundation of sobriety without any distractions.
Our support never stops there, we implement personalised aftercare to support the recovery process after the rehabilitation time.

I’ve been a client at Providence for over six months, experiencing a full spectrum of emotions, but the prevailing feeling has been a profound sense of connection and belonging. The atmosphere is one of love, unity, and genuine friendship. Regardless of which counselor you’re assigned to, all the staff are approachable and offer invaluable advice. Their unwavering knowledge and caring nature have genuinely saved my life. The entire Providence team, including clerical and support staff, has given me the strength and enthusiasm to apply what I’ve learned. As I leave, I’ll carry Providence in my heart and prayers forever. Thank you.

Providence has saved my life. When I arrived, I was physically, mentally, and emotionally drained; without this rehab, I’d be dead. They helped me rebuild my confidence and discover my true self. The counselors, especially Dougie, were incredibly understanding and crucial to my progress. After 12 weeks and now in aftercare, I finally know what I want for the first time in 24 years and am confident I’ll achieve my dreams. I highly recommend Providence to anyone seeking to overcome addiction. Even in aftercare, I miss Provi already and am deeply grateful. Thank you.

I can’t thank The Providence Project and its amazing team enough. What was supposed to be a four-week stay turned into six months because it was life-changing. As a single mother, leaving my daughter was hard, but it was worth it. The program helped me overcome my addiction to sleeping tablets and taught me valuable life skills, making me a better mother and person. This place gave me my life back and my daughter “a better mummy.” To any mother worried about treatment due to separation, it’s worth it—the benefits are priceless. Going to The Providence Project was the best decision I’ve made, and I’m forever grateful. Sarah x

I arrived at the Provy lost and broken after years of addiction and failed treatments, but something felt different here. From reception to support staff, everyone made me feel loved until I could love myself. For the first time, I received the help, knowledge, and tools I needed for lasting recovery. The unique approach, the supportive groups, and the house where I lived were crucial to my healing. Near death at the end of my addiction, I owe my life to Providence and my counselor, Clinton. Nearly two years clean and sober, I’m proud to be part of the Provy family, where the door is always open and the support is unwavering.

Providence has changed my life completely. From living a life with no hope, this place has taught my how to live again. The group therapy and 1-1 counselling really helped me to discover who I am and what I want from life, free from drugs and alcohol. The staff are excellent and I know I wouldn’t be where I am now without them. I’d recommend Providence to anyone who needs help. Give it a go and you won’t regret it.
