Take Control of Your Life Today
Like many other cities in the UK, Nottingham also faces challenges related to substance abuse and addiction, with concerning rates of drug-related deaths and crimes. However, while many people are seeking help for addiction, the available resources often fall short of demand.
Access to NHS services is limited, and uncertainty surrounds community-based support options, thus highlighting the need for comprehensive care to help people overcome addiction.
Having recognised the challenges faced by those battling addiction, we’ve brought on board a dedicated therapist offering face-to-face appointments to those who wish to begin the path to recovery. This means that any residents in and around Nottingham seeking help for addiction can access CATCH Recovery’s specialised resources and evidence-based therapies to address their issues.
- About Nottingham
Nottingham, a historically rich city in England, boasts a well-developed infrastructure that seamlessly blends its past with modern amenities. The city’s history dates back to medieval times, evident in its iconic Nottingham Castle and the famous Sherwood Forest nearby. Today, Nottingham thrives with its vibrant city center, featuring a mix of historical architecture, bustling markets, and contemporary shops.
Transportation in Nottingham is well-connected, with a network of buses, trams, and trains, including the Nottingham Express Transit (NET) tram system, offering convenient travel within the city and surrounding areas. The A52 and A60 motorways provide essential road links, enhancing accessibility and connectivity.
Notably, Nottingham’s transportation also includes regular and fast train services, such as East Midlands Railway, connecting Nottingham to London’s St Pancras International. This allows for easy access to the capital’s bustling streets and numerous attractions, making Nottingham an ideal base to explore both the charm of the city itself and the excitement of London’s vibrant scenes.

Ensure It’s an Addiction and Not Another Issue
It’s possible to mistake other conditions for addiction due to overlapping symptoms and behaviours. Depression, anxiety, or chronic stress can manifest similarly to addiction, leading to confusion. Jumping to conclusions without careful observation can hinder proper diagnosis and support. You can make informed decisions by closely observing signs like withdrawal, changes in mood, or social isolation.
Seeking professional help ensures accurate assessment, a tailored outpatient programme, and the best support for your loved one’s condition. Patience and understanding are essential to foster empathy and compassion, promoting the path to effective recovery and well-being.
Common signs of addiction:
- Increased Tolerance: The development of a heightened tolerance to the substance or behavior over time, necessitating a larger amount to achieve the same effect.
- Withdrawal Symptoms: The experience of physical or emotional withdrawal symptoms when attempting to decrease or cease the substance or behavior.
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritising the substance or behaviour over significant responsibilities such as work, school, or family commitments.
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeated endeavors to quit or reduce the behaviour without achieving success.
- Continued Use Despite Negative Consequences: The persistence of the behaviour even when it adversely affects health, relationships, or finances.
These signs should always be taken seriously, as they may indicate underlying issues. If you recognise any of these symptoms in yourself or a loved one, you should seek professional help as soon as possible. Early intervention prevents this illness from progressing.
At CATCH, we also specialise in assisting those who have experienced relapses, providing non-judgmental support and bespoke therapies to handle triggering situations and avoid further relapses.

To assist our patients, CATCH Recovery offers sober transport services that help residents of Nottingham reach our residential addiction clinics. Our primary goal is to ensure that everyone who needs our help can access it seamlessly and safely.
Will I benefit most from online or face-to-face therapy?
The most beneficial mode of therapy—online or face-to-face—depends largely on individual needs and circumstances. Some people find it easier to open up from the comfort of their own space, making online therapy more effective for them. Others prefer the personal touch and direct interaction of face-to-face sessions which provide a structured, controlled environment away from potential triggers. However, online therapy offers flexibility in scheduling and can be particularly beneficial for those with busy lives, mobility issues, or those living in remote areas. Following your assessment, we will advise you on the options best suited to your situation.
Do you offer treatment for eating disorders?
Yes, at CATCH Recovery we recognise the complexities of mental health and how they are often intertwined with other disorders. We provide treatment for eating disorders, particularly when they present as part of a dual diagnosis alongside substance use disorders or behavioural addictions. Our integrated approach ensures that each patient receives comprehensive care tailored to their unique needs.
