Alcohol Addiction Treatment: Alcohol Detox, Alcohol Rehab and Aftercare
at Providence Projects
When you are struggling with alcohol addiction, it can cause enormous harm to yourself and those around you. Alcohol addiction treatment at the Providence Project involves your body adjusting safely through detox and rehab therapy to help you understand your drinking and relapse prevention so that you can stay sober in the real world. Each stage is equally important for lasting recovery, so our staff will guide you through it all so you can feel genuinely hopeful about your future again.
The need for alcohol addiction treatment
You don’t need to hit “rock bottom” to need treatment and many people rightfully seek help when they realise that alcohol is getting in the way of the life they want. This may mean finding it impossible to stop drinking or becoming aware of the harm being done to yourself or your family.
Trying to stop drinking alone can be incredibly hard, and many people who try to get sober relapse when withdrawal symptoms hit. A professional detox from alcohol means that you will have protection from those symptoms, so you can allow them to pass without relapsing.
But effective alcohol addiction treatment also helps you understand what is really going on underneath it all. You may have been drinking to manage stress, trauma or pain you don’t know how to talk about. Professional alcoholism rehab means dealing with these deeper struggles rather than just the symptoms, which is crucial for sustainable recovery.
Step 1: Alcohol detox
Alcohol detox is the important first step of treatment, helping your body overcome physical dependence and safely clear alcohol from your system. This is not an easy process because of the resulting alcohol withdrawal symptoms, which can be scary, uncomfortable and dangerous.
At Providence Projects, we aim to make alcohol detox treatment safer, less scary and more comfortable. Every person who walks through our doors is met with warmth, respect and an experienced team who are trained in both the science of alcohol detox and the emotional and physical challenges that come with it.
When you arrive, our doctor will assess your health and drinking history to design an alcohol detox plan that suits your individual needs. You will be supervised 24 hours a day by a caring medical team who will monitor your symptoms closely and administer medications for alcohol detox if you need them.
Alcohol withdrawal symptoms
Common alcohol withdrawal symptoms can include:
- Anxiety or restlessness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Headaches
- Sweating or chills
- Sleep disturbances
For some people, alcohol detox can also bring on more serious symptoms such as seizures or delirium tremens (DTs), but these are rare and can be safely managed by our doctors.
The alcohol detox symptoms timeline
Your alcohol detox timeline may not look the same as someone else’s because you don’t have the same body and drinking history. However, alcohol withdrawal symptoms usually start within a few hours of your last drink, peak within two to three days and usually fade away after about a week.
During this time, if you are feeling well enough, you may begin taking part in gentle therapy sessions. Our medical team will take you to your sessions and bring you back to ensure your safety and support. These early steps help you start thinking about recovery before rehab begins fully. Once detox is complete, you will then move permanently over to the sober living part of our facility to immerse yourself fully in alcohol rehab therapy.

Step 2: Alcohol rehab
While detox is essential for clearing the body of alcohol, you can’t just detox your way out of addiction. Alcohol rehab helps address the reasons you drink, whether it’s your lifestyle, some emotional pain or habits picked up in childhood.
By addressing the emotional and behavioural triggers behind your drinking, you can then start planning (and living!) your new life without alcohol. Rehab for alcohol addiction will also help you improve your relationships and prepare yourself for any triggers that hit you unexpectedly.
Therapies used in alcohol rehab
At Providence Projects, therapy is the heart of our programme and is delivered by an expert team who will really take the time to get to know you. Our alcohol rehab therapy plans are based on:
- Your history with alcohol
- Any mental health concerns
- Past traumas or difficult experiences
- Your communication style and personality
- What helps you feel safe, understood, and engaged
Our programme includes a number of traditional evidence-based therapies, with some of our most important therapies including:
12-step programme
We provide an introduction to the 12-Step philosophy to help you work through the steps and help connect to local support groups to finish the steps when you leave us.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
CBT is one of the most effective approaches for treating alcohol addiction by breaking the link between thoughts and behaviours. For example, you may uncover a belief like “I can’t handle stress without drinking.” Through CBT, you learn to challenge that belief and replace it with actionable alternatives for stress management.
Group therapy
Group therapy is a vital part of recovery that allows you to share experiences with others and learn from different perspectives. Our groups are warm, supportive and carefully led to ensure everyone feels heard and respected.
Trauma-informed therapy
Many people struggling with alcohol use have experienced trauma, sometimes without even realising it. Trauma-informed therapy helps you understand how trauma may be linked to your drinking and how to resolve or manage it without needing alcohol.
Family therapy
Alcohol addiction can leave deep emotional scars within families. It is not just the drinking that causes pain, but the broken trust, the constant anxiety, the missed moments and the growing sense of helplessness. Our family therapy sessions help everybody to heal, forgive and become one recovery team.

Step 3: Aftercare for alcohol relapse prevention
Alcohol relapse prevention is critical in helping you maintain the progress made during detox and rehab.

This will help you cope with:
- Old environments where alcohol is present
- Social pressure to drink
- Unexpected stress or emotional setbacks
- Loneliness or isolation
- The loss of rehab’s daily structure and accountability
Our UKAT alumni programme also provides ongoing connection and encouragement, allowing you to stay in touch with all your friends and counsellors. These supportive relationships help significantly reduce the risk of alcohol relapse because you always have people to lean on.

Michael Drake
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.
Kelly Cooper
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.
Sarah Carter
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

The Providence Projects is a special place that saved my life when I had nothing left to give. The counselors are amazing, genuinely caring, and encourage you to be yourself in a supportive environment. They provide a deep understanding of addiction and the tools to prevent relapses. Since leaving The Prov, I am proud to live my life as a recovering addict. I will recommend The Providence Projects to anyone in need, as the possibilities it offers are endless.
Daniel Jordan
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.
Richard Shottin
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.
