Surely Sober is a tried-and-tested alcohol addiction recovery programme:
• Broadly applicable: Surely Sober treats all levels of alcohol addiction and supports all phases of recovery, from the first day on the road to recovery through lasting sobriety. It can also help those who may not have been formally diagnosed with alcohol addiction, but who recognise alcohol as a problem in their life. Surely Sober helps individuals who misuse or are addicted to alcohol to restructure their ‘self’ and their lifestyle. It can also provide instant support in times of need.
• Scientifically based and expertly directed: Surely Sober is based on clear scientific principles. As a counselling psychologist with over 27 years of experience, Diana Southgate has the credentials for delivering Surely Sober. She has helped many people to achieve sobriety.
• Targeting multiple dimensions: The Surely Sober methodology, tools and techniques target both conscious and unconscious learning. The ability to change the brain at the deepest subconscious level is a key programme differentiator.
• Able to be used alone or in combination: Surely Sober takes a stepwise approach to delivering sobriety and preventing relapse. The basic scientific principles are covered in an easy-to-understand manner. This helps participants understand their disease, and how Surely Sober works. Patients are motivated and their chance of success is increased. Written exercises and audio recordings allow participants to be hands-on in tackling their illness and delivering their recovery. Surely Sober can be used alone, or together with other programmes and approaches.
An Outpatient Programme is pending: Building on its success in clinical practice, Surely Sober is being shaped as a small-group outpatient programme.
