Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment in Tyne and Wear
In recent years Tyne and Wear has had bestowed upon it an unwanted reputation as being one of the areas of the UK most affected by alcohol and drug addiction. The reality, of course, is that no part of the country is untouched by substance abuse, and heavily urbanised areas such as Tyne and Wear are by definition likely to have a higher concentration of addicts than more rural locations.
If you or someone close to you are currently fighting addiction, read on for a guide to some of the organisations and facilities that might make the difference. If you are worried you cannot find the right facility in your area, we have created this guide to help you find it all around Tyne and Wear including the vicinity of the towns of Spring, Houghton-le-Spring, Killingworth, Cullercoats, Annitsford, Ryton, Low Fell and Westerhope.
Anyone wrestling with addiction, or trying to help a loved one break free from substance abuse, will know that every step along the way can be an ordeal. Selecting the right treatment option for you is no different, especially with such a variety to be found in and around Tyne and Wear; indeed, it can sometimes feel that there’s simply too much information out there and you don’t feel qualified to make such an important decision. This is where we come in: if you’re looking for a few recommendations for treatment options, give one of our confidential advisors a call and start getting the assistance you require.
If it’s private treatment you are looking for, UKAT has a number of residential alcohol and drug rehab centres located in close proximity of Tyne and Wear for those that require immediate help with their substance misuse.
Private Rehabilitation
Perhaps the most immediate – and over the long term, most successful – a treatment option for a serious addiction is private rehabilitation for alcoholism and drug addiction, which takes you from the beginning of the detox process all the way through to aftercare and relapse prevention. This intensive treatment programme doesn’t just deal with the symptoms of addiction, but addresses its basic causes, enabling a recovering addict to look to the future with hope rather than trepidation.
UKAT are proud to offer our nearest facility to Tyne and Wear – Oasis Recovery – a state-of-the-art drug and alcohol detox facility in West Yorkshire.
Oasis Recovery detox programme addresses the whole person – body, mind and spirit.

Addiction Support Groups in Tyne and Wear
Addiction support groups are specifically focused on substance abuse and behavioural addictions and the issues associated with drug and alcoholism recovery. Support groups are normally focused on a specific type of addiction which separates one group from another. For example – there are support groups focused on helping people suffering from alcoholism or for people with cocaine addiction. This makes it easier for members to focus and feel as if their particular alcohol-related or drug abuse 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 in Tyne and Wear, and may be particularly valuable for people who have already gone through rehab and are seeking ongoing support.
