Addiction

Medically-led, evidence-based treatment for substance and behavioural addictions, including dual diagnosis.

Cardinal Clinic's addiction treatment programme draws on over 45 years of clinical experience and the expertise of our sister organisation, PROMIS — one of the world's leading addiction treatment centres. We provide a full continuum of care, from medically supervised detoxification through to long-term recovery support.

Conditions We Treat

Alcohol Dependency

Medical detoxification and comprehensive rehabilitation for alcohol use disorder.

Our Treatment Approach

Addiction is a complex, chronic condition that requires a sophisticated, multi-layered response. Our approach integrates medical, psychological, and social dimensions of recovery — addressing not just the addiction itself, but the underlying factors that sustain it.
