The only alcohol rehab in Bath offers psychological treatments to drinkers over the age of 16. They provide structured counselling to address the underlying issues which often contribute to addiction and also have day programmes. These combine counselling with additional activities such as such as confidence and assertiveness training. This centre has special services for homeless drinkers, and operates several supported housing projects.
There are five centres which provide alcohol rehab in Weston-super-Mare, and the majority of these offer residential treatment. Two of the residential centres use the 12-step approach, and also provide inpatient detoxification. They both create individual care plans based on an initial assessment. One of these centres helps over 16s and the other helps over 18s. Another residential treatment centre requires drinkers attend 12 step meetings, and also offers one to one and group counselling sessions on-site. This centre only helps over 18s, and can refer drinkers requiring other services onwards. The final residential centre primarily treats over 18s through counselling, and requires them to be sober on admittance.
The non-residential alcohol rehab in Weston-super-Mare only offers psychological treatments. They use both one to one and group counselling, and also offer structured day programmes. Harm reduction services such as free condoms and advice on safer drinking are also available at this centre. There is no age restriction on treatment.
The only alcohol rehab in Wrington is a residential centre catering to over 18s. They have facilities for inpatient detoxification, but mainly treat through structured counselling. Post-detox treatment is split into a primary care phase and an aftercare service to help recovered alcoholics reintegrate into society. They can also help drinkers having trouble with the criminal justice system.
The alcohol rehab in Bridgwater uses the harm reduction approach. They don’t assume abstinence is the goal of treatment, and mainly focus on reducing the harm caused by drinking as much as possible. Treatment is mainly conducted through structured counselling, and any drinkers over the age of 18 can attend.

There are four different centres which provide alcohol rehab in Bristol, and the majority of these have fairly specialised functions. One of the centres offers structured day programmes to over 18s, which use both one to one and group counselling in combination with complementary therapies. They can also help with the criminal justice system. Another specialised centre provides counselling (using a harm reduction approach) to primarily black and minority ethnic drinkers of any age. There is also an advice centre, which offers help to drinkers based on Christian morals. They help drinkers aged over 18 and also offer assistance to the homeless.
The remaining alcohol rehab in Bristol provides a more comprehensive range of services. Treatment starts with a thorough needs assessment, which guides the care from that point onwards. Drinkers can be treated residentially, make use of inpatient detoxification services or attend a structured day programme. They offer structured counselling on both a one to one and group basis, and also provide aftercare sessions for an entire year after completion of treatment. Alcoholics aged over 18 and their loved ones can receive help at this centre.
