Alcohol rehab, short for rehabilitation, is a structured treatment programme designed to assist individuals struggling with alcohol addiction. These programmes can be offered in various forms, including inpatient, where the individual resides at a chosen rehab centre for a specific period of time, or outpatient, where the individual continues to live in their home environment, but would attend treatment sessions regularly either in person at one of our local therapy centre’s or online.
At Infinity Addiction Solutions, we provide expert help, support and advice to help individuals overcome alcohol dependencies through our range of effective private outpatient programmes. These programmes include individual or group counselling sessions, or a successful combination of both and are available either face-to-face at our centres in Essex, Bath, Bristol, and London, or online for those that reside anywhere else in the UK.
For those requiring 24/7 around the clock care, we can refer you to trusted inpatient rehabilitation centres.
We truly recognise the benefits of alcohol rehab treatment, such as outpatient and evening programmes. This is because our alcohol treatment programmes provide flexibility and accessibility for those navigating their recovery journey. This outpatient, non-residential approach is especially beneficial for individuals who need to balance treatment around daytime work commitments, family, or other responsibilities. With tailored alcohol counselling, patients can receive expert support and guidance at times that suit their schedule, ensuring they remain committed to recovery without disrupting their daily lives.
We provide a safe and secure environment or setting, where a patient will feel free to discuss their issues openly. What’s more, with our alcohol treatment programmes, patients can reach out for help in between their appointed sessions when needed.
Whatever the reason, here at Infinity Addiction, we can help you overcome alcohol addiction and get you on the road to recovery from alcohol misuse with our alcohol rehabilitation services.

What Is an Alcohol Addiction?
Alcohol addiction is a complex disorder characterised by a person’s inability to control their alcohol consumption due to either or both a physical dependence and/or a psychological one. This dependence develops when the brain adapts to the regular presence of alcohol, leading to withdrawal symptoms if consumption is reduced or stopped abruptly. Beyond the physical aspect, an alcohol addiction also encompasses a powerful mental obsession with alcohol, where it dominates thoughts, beliefs and daily routines, even if the individual doesn’t drink every day. This obsession can lead to prioritising drinking over responsibilities, relationships, and personal well-being. While moderate alcohol use may not pose an issue, the transition to addiction occurs when the desire for alcohol becomes increased and overwhelming, resulting in harmful consequences for the individual’s health, social life, and overall quality of life. Understanding what is an alcohol addiction is crucial for seeking appropriate alcohol rehabilitation and treatment.
Health Risks Associated with Alcohol
Regularly drinking more than 14 units of alcohol per week significantly increases the health risks associated with alcohol. Over time, even moderate drinking can harm your body and lead to serious conditions.
Some of the most common health risks associated with alcohol include:
- Cancers – such as mouth, throat, and breast cancer.
- Liver disease – including fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis.
- Heart problems – such as high blood pressure, stroke, and heart disease.
- Mental health issues – including anxiety, depression, and an increased risk of self-harm.
It’s important to note that there is no “safe” level of alcohol consumption. Reducing your intake or avoiding alcohol entirely is the best way to lower the health risks associated with alcohol. Spreading any drinking over three or more days and including alcohol-free days each week can further help reduce harm.
Recognising Alcoholism
Alcoholism or alcohol use disorder can be defined as a strong and uncontrollable desire for alcohol despite the consequences. As most are aware, the more someone drinks, the more their body becomes accustomed or tolerant to alcohol and the more alcohol they actually need to satisfy their ‘urge’ or ‘need’. Increasing tolerance levels can often lead to dependence on alcohol and addiction occurs.
The most obvious sign that someone is suffering from alcohol addiction and needs alcohol rehabilitation is their desire to prioritise drinking alcohol above other important aspects in their lives including family, friends or their job.
Some alcoholics can function as normal day-to-day while others will see their entire lives suffer as a result. Unfortunately, for most alcoholics, hiding the signs of alcoholism doesn’t make the problem go away, nor does the ability to function from day-to-day.
Signs of Detoxing From Alcohol
When someone begins withdrawing from alcohol after a period of heavy or prolonged drinking, their body naturally reacts as it adjusts to the absence of alcohol. This process is part of the body’s attempt to restore balance, often resulting in noticeable withdrawal symptoms.
Alcohol has sedative effects on the brain, slowing it down, and when alcohol is suddenly removed, the brain may go into overdrive. This can lead to a range of physical and psychological signs, highlighting the importance of professional support when attempting to stop drinking alcohol.
Common Signs of Withdrawals From Alcohol
- Sweating and shaking (tremors)
- Nausea and vomiting
- Feelings of anxiety or panic
- Disturbed sleep and vivid dreams
- Severe cases: seizures or hallucinations requiring immediate medical attention
Alcohol Rehab Treatments
We offer treatments for alcohol use disorders through our comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation programmes, delivered by our team of highly experienced and registered professionals, located throughout the UK to assist individuals at their own pace. A key step to alcohol addiction treatment is working with and treating the whole person, which are the biological, psychological and social factors contributing towards the individuals alcohol use. It’s within rehabilitation that more about these deep rooted issues are identified, explored, understood and resolved, giving the best possible chance of a solid recovery platform on which to rebuild a happy and healthier life.
Stages of Alcohol Rehab Treatment
At Infinity Addiction, we specialise in providing bespoke alcohol rehabilitation that’s fine-tuned to suit not only the patients themselves but their specific addiction, or in this case of alcohol addiction, the specific cause or reason behind their addiction. Generally speaking, however, alcohol rehab treatment consists of 3 common stages. These are:
Alcohol Detox – This stage of alcohol rehabilitation is often needed when a patient has developed a physical dependence, which with alcohol addiction, naturally builds up over time. Many patients may have attempted to refrain from drinking alcohol themselves, only to struggle as withdrawal symptoms emerge. Whilst Infinity Addiction Solutions doesn’t directly provide alcohol detox services, we work with trusted providers who specialise in this area as we work with them often for patients looking to detox before joining our outpatient programmes. We can certainly refer you to these exemplary professionals with your consent, ensuring you receive the expert care needed to manage withdrawal symptoms safely. Please note and at no additional cost to you, we may receive a small referral fee if treatment is taken up.*
Withdrawal symptoms will vary depending on the alcohol the individual has become dependent on. However, under expert guidance, these can often be dealt with using specialist and licensed medication. The duration of an alcohol detox procedure will often vary greatly depending on the severity of the addiction itself, but will generally be around a 7-10 day period or so. Factors such as pre-existing medical conditions will also be carefully considered as these can make the procedure more complex and may take more time.
With a residential detox treatment, patients can be closely monitored by staff to help manage any withdrawal symptoms, adjust medication doses and increase the chances of a smooth and successful detox from alcohol dependence.
Therapy – Alcohol rehab treatments consisting of alcohol counselling are integral parts of longer-term success for any recovery journey. There are several different alcohol counselling approaches to therapy, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness and many more. These psychological approaches are essential for exploring the thought patterns, emotions, and behaviours that contribute to the development of continuation of addiction. We offer private counselling included with our One to One 12-Week Programme tailored to individual needs, or as part of our comprehensive 9-Week Hybrid Group Programme that fosters peer support and shared recovery experiences. To learn more or get started, contact Infinity today.
Aftercare – This step in alcohol treatment is just as important as detoxing and therapy. In fact, aftercare is considered the final stage of alcohol rehab. It’s an ongoing stage that’s designed to be phased out over time. However, it’s integral to ensure, evolve and maintain the positive treatments received during the first two stages of treatment mentioned above. Insignificant aftercare is a known factor in regression back to previous addictive tendencies known as relapse.
