Addressing Addictions is a General Medical Council (GMC) registered medical practitioner led, team of healthcare professionals who have a specialism in working with patients who are alcohol dependent.
We are proud to state that we are regulated by and registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) which sets us aside from other health service providers in this field.

We have extensive experience in working with people suffering from all forms of addiction and dependence. We understand the complexities involved with being alcohol dependent and our approach is to treat our clients as individuals.
Our advice and treatment will be informed by the individual needs and any intervention we implement will be tailored to each client and empower them to make informed choices.
Compassion, confidentiality, respect and understanding is at the fore front of everything we do.
