What kinds of alcohol support are there in the United Kingdom?

| Detox | Short term medically assisted withdrawal while alcohol leaves the body | Yes | Health service or paid, depending on the provider |

| Sober living | Dry houses and abstinence-based supported housing, shared abstinent housing with house rules | No | Usually rent paid by the resident |
Is it safe to stop drinking without medical help?
Not always. Stopping suddenly after heavy daily drinking can cause withdrawal that is genuinely dangerous, which is why medically assisted withdrawal exists as its own service. If you drink heavily every day, speak to a doctor or a withdrawal service first. This is the published position of the NHS, not advice from this directory.
What is supported housing and who is it for?
Dry houses and abstinence-based supported housing are shared homes where everyone is staying sober, usually with house rules and required meeting attendance. It is housing, not treatment. Residents commonly move in after residential treatment and attend local AA meetings as part of the house agreement.
