What is Help Me Stop
- Help Me Stop is the UK’s number 1 alternative to residential addiction treatment. We are an alcohol and drug rehabilitation centre delivering many of the same services that you could expect to receive in a residential treatment setting. This includes group and individual therapy, workshops and written assignments as well as a thorough introduction to the 12-step model of recovery.
- We are an abstinence-based rehab centre and we follow the principle that addiction is an illness, not a moral failing. This illness may be kept in remission if abstinence is adhered to.

About Our Programme
Help Me Stop endorses and utilises the 12-step model of recovery. This programme was established in the USA and has helped millions of people worldwide access a more fulfilling life. Evidence suggests that when the 12-step approach is delivered alongside a therapeutic programme, the roots of addiction can be addressed, and sustainable recovery is achieved.
Drug and alcohol addiction thrives on isolation which is why we do the vast majority of our work in group settings. This can be online or in our London rehabilitation centre. We provide a positive recovery focussed community to engage with. This gives clients a sense of belonging and a belief that change is possible with the support of others in a similar situation.
Unlike residential rehab treatment, Help Me Stop is a day programme which means all clients return home from our London rehabilitation centre after groups have finished. We provide clients with the tools and strategies to cope with the stresses and triggers that they are encountered in day to day life. We also help them deal with unresolved issues and underlying conditions such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and self-esteem issues. This makes the experience genuine and increases the chances of long-term recovery significantly.
Help Me Stop offers rehab in the real world and as such provides morning, afternoon and evening streams of our programme both face to face and online; meeting the needs of individuals in the UK and abroad who can’t travel into our rehab centre.
- Help Me Stop is committed to ensuring the best addiction treatment is available to the many people that need it at an affordable price.
COVID-19 Statement - Latest Update
We have been constant in our practice to maintain our standards of care since the start of COVID-19 while ensuring the protection of our clients and staff. The procedures we put in place at the beginning of lockdown have prepared us for any policy changes caused by COVID-19, including the government implementing tighter lockdown rules which were announced on 4th January 2021. Under the new rules it is still legitimate for you to attend treatment or attend an assessment so please do not be put off seeking help.
Our rehab centre, which is based in Acton, West London, will remain open as usual and of course, we have our online service for those that can’t make it into West London.
Both our Online and Onsite programmes are made up of a mixture of group work and one to ones with specialist therapists. We also provide support to families and loved ones via our family programme, which although is not compulsory, studies have shown that involving family members and loved ones improves family dynamics, improves communication and increases the chances of long term recovery.
With Local Authority funding for residential treatment difficult to get, and with private residential treatment out of reach for most people; intensive alcohol and drug treatment can seem inaccessible. But now there is a solution that is affordable as well as effective. Whether it is our online or onsite service our facilities are high end and our programmes are intensive and effective. Our drug and alcohol treatment centres are welcoming, comfortable and all have well-equipped therapy rooms and break out areas – giving them all a real home from home feel. Our Online service is secure, confidential, and highly effective meeting the needs of those individuals that can’t get to one of our centres.
