If you or a loved one are struggling with alcoholism or substance abuse in Lancashire, this guide will help you to make an informed decision on a recovery approach.

We understand that private rehab isn’t an option for everyone, so we’ve detailed a list of free rehab services and support groups below.

Addiction Treatment Services in Lancashire
When choosing a treatment option in Lancashire, it’s important that you seek advice from a GP or medical professional to ensure it’s safe to undergo a detox. Some drugs (especially alcohol), can cause serious and sometimes life threatening withdrawal symptoms. It’s safer to undergo a medical detox whereby medication can be given to reduce the impact of withdrawal. Our rehab facilities cater for those that require a medical detox, our trained addiction nurses and psychiatrists will ensure you or a loved one are well looked after.

Travelling to and from Lancashire

Lancashire borders Cumbria (north), Greater Manchester & Merseyside (south). North & West Yorkshire (east), and the Irish Sea (west). Travelling by car is one of the easiest choices as all areas are covered by large roads. The M6, M55, M58, M61, M62, and the M66 all pass through the county, connecting its zones with the rest of Great Britain. Reaching Preston, the county’s administrative centre from London takes over four hours, though, via the M40 and M6.

Direct links to London and the area are provided by the West Coast Main Line, while the East Lancashire Line serves the route between Blackpool and Colne via Lytham, Preston, Blackburn, Accrington and Burnley. The Ribble-Valley Line is your third option, depending on where you’re coming from and what’s your final destination. In comparison, reaching Preston from London via train takes just 140 minutes if you board the Virgin Trains line for Crewe and stay on board until it reaches your final destination.
