FAQs

Please call our friendly team to discuss the most suitable detox and treatment programme for you or your loved one
The length of time you need to stay in rehab will be dependent on what your treatment needs are. Those that require a detox will need to allow for additional time to cover the detox. Ideally you need to be clear of all detox medication then allow for your rehabilitation treatment time. As a guideline, 8 weeks is the optimum treatment time. However, some do require longer. Those that do not have a good support network at home or require help with housing or ongoing mental health issues, should consider 12 weeks primary care, secondary care and supported living. Relocation is possible as we provide 3rd stage supported living houses that follow on from inpatient treatment.
A drug detox or alcohol detox is the process by which a chemical dependence to alcohol or drugs is treated through a withdrawal. Certain drugs and alcohol are extremely dangerous just to stop suddenly. Detoxing yourself can be very uncomfortable and very few achieve it alone due to the overwhelming compulsion to continue.
The Lighthouse rehab clinic effectively manage alcohol detoxes and drug detoxes by providing suitable replacement medication prescribed by our registered rehab psychiatric doctor. The medication alleviates withdrawal symptoms and drastically reduces the chances of any serious or life threatening withdrawal symptoms from developing.
Once the rehab doctor has prescribed a detox regime, the medication will immediately replace the alcohol or drug and then safely be reduced over a period of time until the detox is complete. You will then be alcohol and drug free and detox medication free.
During your stay in the Lighthouse alcohol and drug rehab you will undergo a number of evidence based treatments to treat the root causes of your addiction. It imperative that rehabilitation is delivered by qualified practitioners who have substantial experience in treating those suffering from addiction and its common co occurring mental health illnesses.
The Lighthouse rehab boasts a multidisciplinary team consisting of a Consultant Psychiatrist doctor, Clinical Lead, Registered rehab manager, Counsellors, Recovery workers, a qualified full time chef and cleaning staff. Each of our employees bring passion, experience and skill that perfectly compliments our addiction treatment programme.
Each patient will be walked through the entire process of alcohol detox and drug detox and person-centred rehabilitation. A time table is printed so everyone knows exactly what is happening and when. Our programme is very structured but also allows for plenty of holistic healing, mindfulness, exercise, fun and rest.
Family and close friends are allowed to visit you during your stay at the Lighthouse rehab clinic at the weekends. There are allocated times that allow for this to take place.

Helen Walsh Google 5 Star Verified review
I dropped my son off 28 days ago to The Lighthouse. We were met with compassion and empathy. On leaving I was told to go away and enjoy the respite. Tony explained that addiction is a family illnes. I remembered that and after a few days relaxed. Nothing was too much trouble. Every doubt and question was answered. Surprisingly every time I spoke to someone they asked how I was....not what I expected...even the owner rang to make sure I was ok having left him. Although its only the start of the journey I am filled with hope and gratitude that those that have been where my son was now devote their time to helping others. What an amazing place and wonderful people. Cant recommended it highly enough. I may have just got my son back. Keep up this amazing work...there is so little out there to support families like us who are so desperate for support.
Lisa Woodford, London
I absolutely loved my stay at the Lighthouse; sure there were tough times, but they were very much balanced out by laughter and enjoyment. I dont think I've ever laughed so much! Id forgotten how to laugh; my addiction had left me a very lonely and lost soul.
Today, I still practice the techniques they showed me and am grateful for each and every day I wake up. I look back on my time there very fondly and will be eternally grateful that they helped to save my life.

After a long struggle with drug abuse I made the decision to seek help, I found the lighthouse and was guided through carefully and politely the admission process. I originally booked for two weeks but decided to double that to four weeks. It was a great decision. The staff were brilliant and became friends in my eyes, supporting me all the way through my journey. A brilliant place I’ll never forget.
