Transitioning back to work after addiction treatment is a challenging and daunting process. You may feel like a completely different person. You may wonder how your co-workers will respond to you. You may feel isolated and alone.
However, returning to work is one of the most important steps you can take in your recovery. A job will focus your energy and attention on productive uses, lessening your risk of relapse. Work will also introduce you to more people, who may become instrumental in providing you with the support and friendship you need.
Follow these tips as you transition back to the workplace to ensure the greatest level of success.

Hello, my name is Simon Stephens, I’m Director of Casework for Addictions UK.
We’re often asked, What’s our success rate? We like to reply that over 70% of our clients can and do get well. That’s not to write off the other 30%, perhaps they may take longer in their recovery.
The way that you can ensure that you fall into the recovery group is to bring your hope and enthusiasm to the programme.
One of the reasons that our recovery rate is so much higher than many other programmes you may have encountered, is we work hard to match our client’s needs with the recovery programme offered.
If you use Addictions UK, we’ll work exceptionally hard at finding a programme that matches your needs.
We work on a one-to-one basis – whatever we work with, however we work with you, we especially work towards your recovery.

Hello, my name is Simon Stephens, I’m Director of Casework for Addictions UK.
The first question many of our clients ask, is What kind of addiction can you treat?
We can offer treatment to a whole range of addictive illnesses, indeed, perhaps the only illness that we don’t consider appropriate to home-based treatment, are those addictions around food.
We offer help with process addictions, such as gambling, pornography, and sex. We offer help with more traditional addictions, such as drugs and alcohol.
Some of the less common addictions we help treat include excessive shopping or shoplifting. There are however, a huge range of addictive illnesses that people may suffer from.
Our one-to-one programme can help you overcome your problem in the security of your own home.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” – Anais Nin
Today is the day. Tuesday, October 11, 2011. I want to remember this day forever.
The day I decided to stop drinking.
The sunrise was beautiful this morning. Possibly the best one I’ve ever seen. Pink and blue hues in the sky sprayed with just the right amount of clouds, the brilliant orange sun barely peeking over the fall trees, as if uncertain of making its appearance.
There are knots in my stomach. I can’t breathe (allergies). I am on my period.
I am incredibly exhausted from being awake all night, tossing and turning and trying to banish the unwanted thoughts that kept racing through my head, taking up space where happy memories should be.
