Step 1 on our treatment pathway
Primary Care at Providence Projects
Primary care forms the cornerstone of recovery, representing the essential first step on the path to lasting transformation. Delivered within our highly rated CQC-registered rehab centre, this stage brings together professional medical support, structured therapeutic programmes, and a safe, nurturing residential setting. The focus is on restoring stability, uncovering the underlying drivers of addiction, and equipping individuals with the tools required to achieve and sustain long-term sobriety.
Step 2 on our treatment pathway
Secondary Care at Providence Projects
If primary care lays the groundwork, secondary care builds upon it, strengthening recovery and preparing it for real-world application. This stage is intended for those who have completed their initial drug or alcohol rehab programme and are ready to move towards greater independence, while still benefiting from structured therapeutic input and professional support.
Step 3 on our treatment pathway
Sober Living with Providence Projects
Sober living acts as the bridge between structured secondary care and full independence. It provides a safe, flexible environment where individuals can practise the skills they’ve gained in treatment while navigating the realities of daily life. This stage recognises that recovery doesn’t end with alcohol or drug rehab, it’s an ongoing process that benefits from continued support, stability, and connection to a like-minded community.
At Providence Projects, sober living offers exactly this balance: a space to rebuild with confidence, guided by professionals who understand the challenges of early independence and are committed to helping clients move forward with strength and stability.
Step 4 on our treatment pathway
Aftercare & the UKAT Alumni Network
Completing a residential programme is a significant achievement, but it’s only one step on the path of recovery. Aftercare is the crucial next stage, designed to help you maintain progress, manage life’s challenges, and build a fulfilling, sober future. At UKAT, aftercare is personalised, offering ongoing support tailored to your individual needs.
This continued support can include outpatient therapy sessions, relapse prevention check-ins, group workshops, and practical guidance on maintaining healthy routines. The goal is to equip you with the tools and strategies to navigate everyday life confidently and prevent relapse.
Complementing professional aftercare, UKAT’s Alumni Network provides a supportive community of people who have shared the recovery experience. Membership offers connection, encouragement, and opportunities to learn from others on a similar journey.

What Is primary care?
Within addiction treatment, be it for an alcohol addiction, drug addiction or behavioural addiction (such as gambling addiction), primary care describes the intensive residential stage where clients benefit from continuous support and structured therapeutic input. This early phase is designed to restore stability, both physically and mentally, while creating a safe distance from harmful influences and beginning the work of uncovering the root causes of addiction.
What does our Primary Care Programme include?
Detox
When needed, detox is the first essential step. Guided by qualified medical staff, the process is carefully monitored to manage withdrawal safely and minimise discomfort. Around-the-clock care provides reassurance and protection, allowing clients to stabilise before moving into therapy.
Therapeutic programme
True recovery requires more than physical healing. Our therapeutic framework draws on evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), the 12-step approach, group therapy, and individual counselling. Alongside these, clients can access holistic practices, such as mindfulness and yoga, that support emotional balance, resilience, and self-discovery.
Tailored treatment planning
Every recovery journey is unique. From the outset, our clinicians and therapists collaborate to design an individualised plan that reflects personal history, challenges, and goals. This ensures each client receives focused, meaningful care that supports long-term success.
At this stage, structure and stability are vital. Providence Projects provides a safe, substance-free environment with guidance, giving clients the clarity and focus needed to take their first steps toward sobriety. As progress is made, primary care naturally leads into secondary care, where the foundations laid in treatment are strengthened and prepared for life after residential rehab.
What Is secondary care?
In addiction recovery, secondary care is the vital bridge between the safety of residential treatment and the challenges of independent living. It’s a stage designed to protect the progress made in primary care while helping clients strengthen their recovery, practise coping strategies, and prepare for the realities of everyday life.
What does our Secondary Care Programme include?
Ongoing therapeutic support
Therapy continues with a focus on applying recovery tools in real-world situations. Group discussions, individual counselling, and practical workshops on areas like stress management, emotional regulation, and coping skills reinforce the foundation built in primary care.
Relapse prevention strategies
A personalised plan is developed for each client to reduce the risk of relapse. This includes learning to recognise triggers, creating healthy routines, strengthening support systems, and knowing what to do when faced with setbacks.
Developing life skills
Clients gain practical tools for independent living, budgeting, cooking, preparing for employment, and managing time effectively, all of which are essential for long-term stability.
Supportive sober housing
Secondary care provides more flexibility than primary care, with clients living in dedicated sober residences. This structure offers a balance of independence and professional support, allowing individuals to practise new skills in a safe environment.
At The Providence Projects, we specialise in extended treatment and relapse prevention. Here, you will find a community that encourages growth, accountability, and resilience, ensuring a smoother transition into life beyond rehab.

Ongoing support at your pace
At Providence, we remain by your side for as long as you need us, providing check-ins, resources, and consistent encouragement.

Referring a friend is simple. You can contact UKAT directly via phone or our online enquiry form.
