Addiction is a medical condition, not a failure of character, and it is treated as one here. The first appointment is a confidential conversation about where things actually stand — not a lecture, and not a commitment to anything you have not agreed to.
What is de-addiction?
Addiction is a medical condition characterised by compulsive substance use (alcohol, tobacco, medications) or behaviours despite negative consequences.
Common symptoms
Symptoms vary between people, and you do not need to recognise all of these to benefit from an assessment.
- Strong cravings or urges
- Inability to cut down despite wanting to
- Increasing tolerance
- Withdrawal symptoms
- Neglecting obligations at work, home, or school
- Secretive behaviour around substance use
When to seek help
If substance use impacts health, work, or personal relationships, reaching out is a vital first step toward recovery.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Consultations are private, and nothing is disclosed to employers or family without your consent.
No. Come as you are. Stopping certain substances abruptly — alcohol in particular — can be medically dangerous, which is exactly why withdrawal should be medically managed rather than attempted alone.
It can be, depending on the substance and the level of use. Alcohol and sedative withdrawal in particular carry real medical risk. Withdrawal management exists to make this safe and considerably more comfortable.
Relapse is a common part of recovery, not a reason to stop treatment or to feel written off. It is treated as clinical information about what needs adjusting in the plan.
