Do you feel trapped by your addictive tendencies? Speak to us.

We understand that addiction can feel like a powerful force, driving you towards behaviours that may seem wrong or out of control. It's important to know that you're not alone. Addiction is a complex disease, not a moral failing. It's often rooted in a combination of brain biological problems, social, and psychological factors.

The good news is, addiction is treatable. At our Birmingham clinic, our expert Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Nirvana Kudlur is here to offer you comprehensive assessment, treatment, compassion and support. We'll work with you to understand the underlying causes of your addiction and develop a personalised plan for managing it. You don't have to fight this complex disease alone.

How We Can Help

We offer confidential outpatient addiction recovery services to help individuals struggling with a variety of addictive behaviours. Unlike inpatient facilities, our outpatient program allows you to continue with your daily life while receiving professional support.

Our service focuses on:

  • Understanding Your Addiction: Our Consultant Psychiatrist will delve comprehensively into the root causes of your addiction disease, exploring how your neurobiology and thought patterns may be contributing to the problem at hand.
  • Acceptance and Recognition: Our Consultant Psychiatrist will guide you through the crucial step of acknowledging your addiction as a treatable disease, not a personal failing. This acceptance is essential for moving towards recovery.
  • Developing a Management Plan: Our experienced Consultant Psychiatrist will work collaboratively with you to create a personalised strategy to manage and overcome your addiction.
  • Identifying and Controlling Triggers: Learn to recognise the situations, emotions, or people that trigger your addictive behaviour, and develop healthy coping mechanisms with our Consultant Psychiatrist to manage them.

Addiction is a complex issue, but it's not hopeless. We believe with the right support, you can manage your addiction and reclaim control of your life.

Book your initial consultation today to take the first step towards a healthier and happier you.

Addiction is a disease but together we can work through your symptoms and enable you to understand, curb and overcome your illness. With recent advances in understanding addiction disease and with evidence-based treatment approaches, we have seen a 60-70% success rate with our patients who apply and engage with their treatment plan.

Regaining Control from Dependency

Many addictions involve a strong dependency, a feeling that you need a particular substance or behaviour to function. This need can be overwhelming, but you must understand that it's not your fault. Addiction rewires the brain's reward system, making it crave the pleasurable effects of the addictive substance or activity.

Our approach to addiction recovery starts with understanding these changes in your brain. Through in-depth assessments, we'll work with you to:

  • Identify the Root Cause: We'll explore the specific ways your brain has been impacted neurobiologically by the addiction, giving us a clear picture of your unique situation.
  • Develop Coping Mechanisms: Building on this understanding, we'll equip you with the psychological and behavioural tools you need to resist cravings and regain control. These tools may include cognitive-behavioural therapy, relaxation techniques, and relapse prevention strategies.

Support with Alcohol and Drug Rehab

We understand that addiction can manifest in many forms, including drug and alcohol dependence. Our outpatient program offers a safe and supportive environment for individuals struggling with these challenges.

Through regular sessions with our Consultant Psychiatrist, you'll receive expert guidance and support as you work towards recovery. Our experienced Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Nirvana Kudlur will help you to explore the underlying cause of your addiction, and develop coping mechanisms. If necessary, he will advise medication-assisted treatments to help you manage your withdrawal.

We know that sometimes a more intensive level of care may be required. In these cases, Dr Nirvana Kudlur can offer seamless referrals to trusted inpatient rehabilitation facilities to ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs.

What to Expect from Addiction Recovery

Taking the first step towards recovery can feel overwhelming, but we're here to guide you through the process. We offer a structured, three-step approach to addiction treatment, designed to provide clarity, support, and a personalised path to healing.

1. Initial Assessment and Understanding

  • Open Dialogue: We'll begin with a confidential discussion about the nature of your addiction and its impact on your life. This conversation is an opportunity for you to share your story openly and honestly.
  • In-Depth Exploration: Following the initial assessment, we'll conduct a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment. This framework allows us to explore the biological, psychological, and social factors contributing to your addiction. We'll consider your brain chemistry, personality traits, social environment, and any past experiences that may have played a role.

These first two steps are crucial for developing a deep understanding of the root causes of your addiction. By working together, we can formulate a clear picture of the challenges you face.

2. Personalised Treatment Options

Once we have a thorough understanding of your unique situation, we'll present you with a range of evidence-based treatment options. These options may include:

  • Individualised Therapy: Our experienced Consultant Psychiatrist will work with you to develop a personalised plan that addresses your specific needs and goals. This might include cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, or other therapeutic approaches.
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment: For some addictions, medication can be a valuable tool in managing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Dr Nirvana Kudlur will discuss the potential benefits and risks of medication-assisted treatment and work with you to determine if it's right for you.

3. Continuous Support

We believe that recovery is a lifelong journey, and we'll be with you every step of the way. Following the initial treatment plan, we'll offer regular check-ins to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. We're also committed to helping you identify and build a strong support system beyond our clinic walls.

Our treatment program is completely bespoke to you. We understand that there's no "one size fits all" approach to addiction recovery. By tailoring our services to your individual needs and preferences, we'll empower you to overcome your addiction and build a dependency-free future.

Psychiatric Reports for Clarity and Support

  • Medico-Legal Report: Need legal backing for disability claims, personal injury cases, or child custody disputes? This report shows how addiction impacts your life, strengthening your position.
  • Extended Psychiatric Report: Want a deeper understanding of your addiction and a personalised path to recovery? This report dives into the root causes and creates a tailored treatment plan for lasting change.

Both Reports Can Help You:

  • Gain Clear Diagnosis: Understand the nature of your addiction and its impact on your mental health.
  • Get Effective Treatment: Receive a personalised plan with recommended therapies and support options.
  • Navigate Legal Challenges: Secure the legal support you need with a professional assessment.
  • Move Towards Recovery: Take control of your future with expert guidance.

Don't wait. Get the support you deserve.
