Our award-winning Treatments

Assessment

After a medical examination and personal consultation, we develop a treatment adapted to your individual needs once we understand the root cause of your addiction.

"

Detox

To stop taking drugs and drinking alcohol can be dangerous, life-threatening and painful. This is why it needs to be medically controlled in a safe environment, closely monitored.
We provide the medical pain-free treatment to go through the detox without risk.

"

Treatment

Where applicable, this medically managed programme weans the client off their drug or substance addiction, providing physical aid to the psychotherapy treatment that tackles the emotional triggers, the causes of your addiction and backgrounds to the addiction and facilitates rehabilitation.

"

Recovery planning

Our approach focuses on returning body, mind and spirit to good health. This includes a healthy diet, rest in an invigorating setting, Yoga and/ or exercise, the opportunity to spend time with family and activities that allow you to reconnect with fun.
If desired we also offer a very soothing and rewarding interaction with animals.
We work you to establish your lifestyle aims for the future and set goals to achieve during the treatment and thereafter.

"

Aftercare

After the treatment has been completed at Villa Paradiso we don’t forget about you but realise that you must have ongoing support and advice when you need it. For this reason, we work with selected professionals in your home area and provide an on-going aftercare programme aimed at ensuring ultimate success in beating your addiction.

Matthews hand on experience has led to him sitting on evaluation committees studying the effects of addiction and new ways of working with clients with complex needs and bringing new skills and ways of working into the field of addiction or compulsive behaviour. Introducing recovery plans with proven outstanding results for clients who have engaged with the program of recovery. Letting them be part of their treatment allowing them to carry it on after rehabilitation and successfully sustaining long term recovery.

Matthew sat on both the cross-party substance misuse group under Lord Ramsbottom in parliament and on the new drug strategy inquiry board led by Dame Carol Black reporting directly to the Prime Minister. His skills and knowledge in the field of addiction, to deliver recovery-focused groups and services under the outside in initiative, led HMP Kirkham to be classed as the first recovery-focused prison in the UK.

Matthew believes that there is a way to work and support everyone to find a new way of coping and moving on with a more productive life, by being able to manage their own recovery with coping skills developed whilst engaging with treatment. Matthew is developing some new ways of working around family development and understanding addiction which will support clients going back into a family environment.

Matthew is a father of two children and understands the family support network and recovery must be as one to achieve long term recovery.

Our Gallery

People with addictions and behavioural conditions are no different from anyone else. The only difference is that they have come to believe that they can’t overcome their problems or issues, and this can lead them to become dependent upon substances that can cause depression and/or lead to severe anxiety issues.

Our ability to help our clients comes from a deep understanding not just of what they are experiencing, but WHY.

Finding the reasons behind the addiction or conditions is the main aim, and once you have identified them you can confront the triggers, develop coping mechanisms and allow the real you to re-emerge and take control of your life and your future.

As part of any admission to our rehabilitation clinic, we reference the following treatment process and it will be included in your treatment plan.

Below is a brief summary of our methodology. Please get in touch with us for more detailed information, which we provide free of charge or commitment.
