We're often asked what is the 'best' treatment for recovery - but the truth is, it depends. Everyone's journey is different and what matters most is finding the kind of support that fits you.

Your recovery may look completely different to that of others - there is no need to compare. Trust in the direction you are going and try to stop and celebrate each win.

Did you know that there is no solid evidence to suggest that the order you drink alcohol changes how it affects you? Whatever order you drink in, making sure to stick within the recommended 14 units per week spread out over at least 3 days is the best way to avoid a hangover.

Recovery isn't just about 'deciding to quit'. It is a journey that requires on-going treatment and support. We are here to provide guidance and resources. Reach out for personalised support ➡️ orlo.uk/Ri1xx

"Drinking more water can help you sober up." You've probably been advised to drink more water when consuming alcohol, and whilst this is good advice to reduce hangover symptoms - it won't sober you up. Only time can fully reduce the effects of alcohol, so don't rely on water.
