It offers a 7 day physical alcohol detox with the option of continuing on to a 10 day programme of intensive therapy.

The two stages are available separately or as a complete alcohol treatment package. START aims to free you of physical, psychological and emotional dependence on alcohol and enable you to live and function in a world where alcohol is freely available. We do this in a pleasant and safe environment within which you can successfully detoxify from your alcohol addiction as comfortably as possible.

The programme assumes that people are capable and willing to take responsibility for the consequences of their own actions. We aim to provide a programme within which you can learn new strategies for dealing with life’s stresses and problems, understand the context of your past drinking behaviours and restructure your relationships and communication in more positive and life affirming ways.
