We like to celebrate our guests graduating to the Ocean Hills therapy programme and as it turns out, our guests like to celebrate each other! Some lovely former guests of ours visited to drop in this delicious ice cream cake to mark the end of a very special journey for some of their peers.

The holiday season can be a joyful time but for many people in addiction recovery it can also heighten stress, create triggers and increase the risk of relapse. At Ocean Hills Rehab, we work with clients who often describe the holiday period as a time when their routines shift, emotions intensify and exposure to alcohol increases. However, staying sober during this season is absolutely possible – you simply need awareness, planning, and support. In this blog, we will show you how to protect your sobriety during the holidays.
