Other Addictions
Here at Rutland, we treat any client with any addiction using the same model of care for all clients. This means that clients with alcohol addiction can be in the same group as clients with drug addiction, gambling addiction, food addiction or sex-related addictions. We believe that clients will learn from the experiences of others, and find support in others facing addiction no matter what the addiction is!
