There aren’t many options for alcohol rehab in Orkney, with the two centres in the area being located in Kirkwall and Stromness. If you or your loved one doesn’t drink very heavily you’ll only need structured counselling as treatment, which we can provide over the phone for a small fee. In more severe cases, you’ll need some medical assistance during withdrawal, which means attending a centre either in the area or in a neighbouring region. Think carefully about your options before you choose an alcohol rehabilitation facility in Orkney.
The alcohol rehab in Kirkwall is dedicated to helping drinkers aged between 10 and 20 years old. They only provide psychological treatments, but address issues often related to addiction such as anger management, stress and self-confidence. They have a drop-in facility to allow easier access to treatment, and they can also offer aftercare to help recovering drinkers stay sober and avoid relapse. You can arrange appointments for structured counselling at the centre if you wish.
The only option for alcohol rehab in Stromness is primarily an advice and information service aimed at drinkers aged 16 or over. They offer support to both drinkers and their loved ones, and have educational material related to addiction and alcohol. The centre can work with local GPs to offer withdrawal management medicines in the local community, and also refer anybody who needs it on for further treatment.
