Alcohol detox in Wales
At Brynawel, we provide medically supported alcohol detox in a calm, rural setting in South Wales.
We make the process easy, restful and safe with expert medical supervision and our on-site nurse. While you are with us, you will have access to all our facilities, and support. After completing detox you will already have acclimatised to the environment at Brynawel and can join straight into our rehab program if you wish. If you need a drug detox or an alcohol detox elsewhere, we can organise this for you and will ensure a seamless transition into Brynawel for rehab.

Detox FAQ's
(frequently asked questions)
What is Detox
Detox is the process of alcohol or drugs leaving a persons system after they have stopped drinking or using drugs. Some substances (alcohol included) can be very dangerous if stopped abruptly without medical supervision - it can be fatal. Detox has a difficult reputation, but if managed properly it can be a calm and safe experience. It is very important to have a medical assessment before stopping alcohol or substance use so that the process can be managed as safely as possible.

How do I know if I need a detox?
We will help you understand your detox options. After our medical assessment, we will know if you can detox at home, if you can detox with us, or if we need to refer you to a more specialised medical facility for detox. If you detox elsewhere we will ensure a seamless transition for you into Brynawel for rehab. The safest and best thing to do is to give us a call, once we have made the appropriate medical checks, we will tell you your best options so you can make a decision.
What happens after detox?
Detox deals with the physical dependence to alcohol or drugs, but for many people, it is only the beginning of recovery. Our residential programme helps you explore the emotional, psychological and practical factors that may have contributed to addiction. Through individual and group therapy, recovery work and wellbeing activities, we help you build the skills needed to manage life without returning to substances for support. If you would like to learn more, you can read about our residential rehabilitation programme or speak to a member of our team.
What if I can't detox at Brynawel?
If you need to detox from drugs or have particular medical circumstances we may arrange for you to detox with one of our partner organisations. We'll arrange things so you can go straight from detox into a rehab programme with us in Brynawel.
Not sure what kind of help you need?
You do not need to know whether detox, rehab or another form of support is right for you before contacting us.
