Realising and admitting you may have a problem with alcohol is your first step in getting help.
At Help Me Stop, we specialise in supporting people with addiction, offering alcohol rehab for adults who need it, and helping them to get help with alcohol addiction.
We offer a non-residential alcohol rehab programme both online and in-person, where we will work with you intensively to help you stop and stay stopped. Our alcohol treatment programme centres around integrative psychotherapy, which blends a number of evidence-based therapies, including the 12 step approach to addiction treatment, person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, family therapy, art therapy, recovery workshops, mindfulness, and more. We work mainly in group sessions, and every client also has a one-to-one counselling session each week with their focal counsellor.
Our treatment programme will help you stop drinking alcohol (and/or taking drugs), and get a handle on the nature of your addiction over six weeks. We also provide three months of free aftercare, which are weekly group sessions to support you in the early stages of your recovery after you complete intensive treatment with us.
We developed our alcohol rehab programme because we wanted to offer an effective, affordable and accessible solution for those looking for help with alcohol addiction. Many of the team members at Help Me Stop are in recovery themselves, so they know what you are going through. We identified there was a gap for rehab in London that was non-residential with an accessible price tag to go with it.
Dayhab was designed to provide specialist alcohol help to those who need it, while they integrate their recovery into their daily life. Our clients can either make face-to-face rehab in London or rehab in Hampshire work for them, or they choose to recover in our online alcohol treatment programme.
If you are looking for alcohol addiction help, please get in touch with Help Me Stop here. We offer abstinence-based treatment programmes in central London and online, so you can choose the option that best works for you.
Help with alcohol addiction
We do know that rehab isn’t the right route for everyone, especially if you are looking to cut down your alcohol intake, rather than overcome an addiction. Whatever you are looking for, there are plenty of support systems out there that you can access.
Realising you may have a problem with your relationship with alcohol is the first step to getting the help that you need and deserve. If you feel a strong urge to drink, or feel out of control in doing so, that may be a sign that you need to seek alcohol addiction help. Other scenarios and symptoms of problematic drinking include:
- Sacrificing important areas of your life such as work and family, so you can drink either alone or with friends who drink like you
- Your loved ones have mentioned your alcohol intake and problems that alcohol is causing you or them
- You feel your drinking is causing problems in your life, including in the areas of health, wellbeing, relationships, family, work, and life opportunities.
- You are finding yourself drinking more than the recommended intake of alcohol. The NHS recommends no more than 14 units of alcohol a week, spread across 3 days or more. That works out at around 6 medium (175ml) glasses of wine, or 6 pints of 4% beer.
If any of these resonate with you, or you are thinking about reaching out for alcohol support for another reason, here are some of the trusted resources available to you.

Alcohol detoxification support
Withdrawal from alcohol can, in extreme cases, be fatal. Some alcoholics will require a short stay in a hospital or medically supported location so they can safely undergo withdrawal from alcohol. The NHS may provide this depending on their assessment of your need and their ability to offer support.
Please also feel free to call Help Me Stop on 0208 191 9191 or use our contact form to get in touch. We can signpost you to services that can help you with alcohol detoxification.
