Oasis Runcorn is a residential rehabilitation centre located in the riverside town of Runcorn. Established in 2016, the clinic forms part of the UK Addiction Treatment network and provides structured residential care for individuals affected by alcohol use, drug use, prescription medication dependence, and behavioural addictions. Treatment is delivered within a supportive residential setting designed to maintain connection with everyday life.
Treatment Approach
Oasis Runcorn follows a structured residential treatment model that incorporates 12-step principles alongside therapeutic and wellbeing-focused interventions. The programme is designed to support personal responsibility, self-reflection, and peer connection, with care structured around routine and community participation.
The standard residential programme typically runs for 28 days. On-site detoxification is available as part of the admissions process where clinically appropriate, allowing continuity between stabilisation and therapeutic work. Treatment also integrates complementary approaches such as mindfulness practices, family involvement, and skills-based therapies to support long-term recovery planning.
Therapy and Clinical Support
Therapeutic care at Oasis Runcorn combines evidence-based and holistic approaches delivered through both individual and group formats. Cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy are used alongside psychotherapy and psychodynamic therapy to support emotional regulation and behavioural change.
Additional therapeutic options include family therapy, holistic and complementary therapies, gong therapy, and structured individual counselling. Clinical support is available for individuals with co-occurring mental health needs, with therapy adapted to address emotional wellbeing alongside addiction-focused treatment within the residential programme.

Accommodation and Environment
The clinic operates within a large, spacious property situated in a town-based environment, allowing clients to remain connected to everyday surroundings. Accommodation includes a therapeutic community of 22 bedrooms, with capacity for up to 34 residents at any one time.
Rooms are furnished to a comfortable standard and include both private and same-sex shared options, supporting peer connection during early treatment stages. The location benefits from coastal access, with fresh sea air and surrounding views forming part of the daily residential routine alongside scheduled therapy and group activities.
Aftercare and Ongoing Support
Oasis Runcorn provides one year of free aftercare to all clients following completion of residential treatment. The aftercare programme consists of weekly group therapy sessions delivered online via Zoom, allowing continued peer connection and structured therapeutic input.
Sessions are facilitated by a qualified therapist and focus on shared experiences, coping strategies, and ongoing accountability. This approach supports continuity of care beyond residential treatment while maintaining access to professional guidance and peer support.
