Alcohol and Drug Rehab Treatment in the Isle of Wight
The Isle of Wight may be a popular tourist hotspot and a particularly aesthetically pleasing part of the country – but unfortunately, that doesn’t make it immune to the ravages of drug and alcohol addiction. As with everywhere else in the UK, the Isle of Wight is home to many addicts and their loved ones for whom daily life is becoming increasingly intolerable – and, of course, this poses a sizeable socioeconomic challenge to the island’s health and social services.
We know that finding a treatment facility or even a support group meeting could be a difficult task when you live in a smaller area such as Rookley, Wootton or Yaverland. This is why we have created this guide – it will provide you with opportunities not only in the county town Newport but also in and around smaller towns such as East Cowes, Sandown and Shanklin.
Choosing the right treatment services can be hard enough at the best of times; when you’re struggling with addiction, or desperately trying to help someone you love to break free of their own addiction. This is as true for someone living on the Isle of Wight as it is for anyone else – perhaps even more so, considering the geographical limitations of the island. This is where we can help: if you or a loved one is suffering from alcohol and/or drug abuse and you need help and guidance call us one of our confidential advisors today!
If it’s private treatment you are looking for, UKAT has a number of residential rehab centres located in close proximity of the Isle of Wight for those that require immediate help with their substance misuse.

Addiction Support Groups on the Isle of Wight
Addiction support groups are specifically focused on substance abuse and behavioural addictions and the issues associated with recovery. Support groups are normally focused on a specific type of addiction which separates one group from another. This makes it easier for members to focus and feel as if their particular issues are being addressed by others who share their same experiences.
What is NA?
NA (Narcotics Anonymous) is a globally renowned non-profit fellowship for people whose drug abuse has had a detrimental impact upon their lives. Everyone attending NA meetings is trying to abstain from drug use and to develop a new way of life. There are no fees to attend and everyone is welcome as long as they are actively striving to stay clean.
What is AA?
AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) is – like NA – a non-profit fellowship; since its inception in the 1930s AA has helped millions of people worldwide escape from the claws of alcoholism. AA meetings are held right across the country, including a good number on the Isle of Wight, and may be particularly valuable for people who have already gone through rehab and are seeking ongoing support.
