7-14 day detox
The detox
Whether it’s alcohol addiction or cocaine or opioids, the detox will be tailored to your needs to ensure that the toxins are removed from the body with symptom and pain control a priority, before moving onto the next stage of the programme. The detox will take place in your own private ensuite room with access to communal living and dining areas, premium TV with streaming services and healthy food for mealtimes. Our qualified staff will be on hand 24/7 providing and delivering the right treatment for your detox.



The detox team
Our detox team includes a consultant psychiatrist, specialised GPs in substance misuse, qualified registered general or mental health nurses and clinical support workers.

Programme outline
We may also offer you a Naltrexone implant to help in your recovery process if medically suitable, after careful assessment with you. This implant aims to block the effects of opioids and can reduce cravings. Naltrexone may also be helpful for other addictions such as alcohol, cocaine, cannabis and others.

Optional STEPS – You may require longer treatment if:
- There are two or more substances to detox
1. There are significant chronic pain issues. In these cases, after the 7-14day detox we may then recommend a less intensive treatment plan up to a further 4 weeks after the 7-14day detox. This extra treatment can be done as an inpatient or outpatient. If it is an out-patient programme, this will include reviews in clinic by our medical team and therapy sessions ranging from daily to weekly. These medical or therapy sessions can be face-face or virtual using video consultations.
Once any 1-4 week extra treatment is complete, we strongly recommend a clear treatment plan for up to 12 months to aid relapse prevention, whether this is with us or with NHS or independent services local to you. At The New Life Centre, this can range from weekly to monthly reviews depending on individual circumstances, aiming to reduce your risk of relapse and support you on the right journey back to recovery and getting back to life.
£5,500 per week, additional weeks available.
All bedrooms are single occupancy and have luxury ensuite bathrooms, desks, flat-screen TV and picturesque views of the surrounding nature and landscape.
Bedrooms are allocated by our nursing team admission due to occupancy and availability at time of admission. Clinical need will also take priority to ensure safety and access to staff on a 24/7 basis. All clients are provided a call button to alert staff that you require assistance at any time.
Inpatient detox
We specialise in detox over 1-2 weeks to make it as comfortable as possible, and published evidence shows that even an early version of the BONDS treatment programme implemented elsewhere was very well tolerated: 97% of patients did not report pain during a detox from opioids*
On the day of admission, we will begin a medically assisted detox. You will be advised of the expected detox duration at the admission assessment by the multi-disciplinary team. Towards the end of detox or on discharge, further medication may be started to support your abstinence.
MDT
The multidisciplinary team is at the heart of all that we do at The New Life Centre. We believe that a comprehensive approach to treating our patients is more likely to lead to success than taking a narrow view to treatment. One of our fundamental principles is the use of the Bio-Psycho-Social model of assessment and care, meaning that we combine medical, psychological and social aspects into one cohesive approach. This requires various team members to work together, including psychiatrists, specialised GPs in substance misuse, mental health nurses, dual diagnosis and substance misuse practitioners, clinic support workers, and support from our admin team. All of these make up our MDT, the multi-disciplinary team. The MDT team provides the initial assessments prior to admission, the care during inpatient detox, and the outpatient care after discharge which is the Consolidation and Relapse Prevention phase of up to 12 months.
Naltrexone therapy
In the UK, oral Naltrexone is licensed for relapse prevention in opioid-dependent or alcohol dependant patients. Opioid receptors play a role in the reward system in the brain, meaning that blocking them with Naltrexone may reduce the pleasurable ‘hit’ and can also reduce cravings in a range of addictions. One of the hardest challenges is to remain addiction-free long term, with options of oral tablets or implant depending on the requirements, The New Life Centre will consider if Naltrexone or other similar medications could support your recovery programme on an individualised basis.
