AddictionHelper.com, a new independent online addiction service, has been launched. It will pioneer ethically-bound, impartial treatment for those affected by alcohol, drug, gambling addictions and eating disorders. Created by addiction specialists Recovery Healthcare, the site is supported by a team of trained counsellors who can be contacted 24 hours a day for free, confidential advice and assessment. The ultimate aim of Addiction Helper is to find addicts the best possible treatment.
There is a growing market for the service offered by Addiction Helper; over 100,000 people search online for help with addiction in the UK alone each year (keyword research courtesy of Market Appeal).
Addiction Helper is backed by leading counsellors and therapists in the fields of addiction, alcoholism and eating disorders. They have extensive relationships with the most renowned Care Commission Quality approved treatment centres in the UK, including the rehab clinic that successfully treated Russell Brand for the addiction, which threatened to destroy his career. If you’d rather have treatment in a more exotic location, Addiction Helper works with rehab clinics surrounded by breathtaking scenery in countries such as South Africa, Thailand and the United States.
Addiction Helper isn’t just about getting addicts into residential rehab. It’s about finding them the most suitable treatment for their addiction and their circumstances, whether that’s outpatient programmes, counselling, therapy or local support groups. Jake is a recovering alcoholic.
He says, “I’d been drinking heavily for about 12 years and was getting more and more depressed. I knew I needed help but I couldn’t take an extended period off work. They arranged a residential detox for me which I took as holiday. They then organised outpatient treatment, based around the 12 step abstinence approach, in the evenings. I successfully completed the programme and am delighted to say that, with the continued support of Alcoholics Anonymous, I’m now sober and healthy.”
Addiction Helper also provides much-needed support for the family and friends of addicts. One of the founders Daniel Gerrard says, “We educate people on the illness that is addiction and help them to understand it. Addiction Helper has all the information required by those affected by addiction in one place, impartially and independently.”
Formed by a group of recovering addicts and healthcare professionals, Addiction Helper addresses the need for help that’s independent and transparent. Daniel says, “What addicts need is a service they can trust. That’s why we are launching AddictionHelper.com. Our service is totally impartial, and we are independently audited. We are not affiliated to any one rehab clinic and we don’t make unethical deals with clinics to get us higher commission for more referrals.”
