Why You Should Donate to Addiction Care & Treatment Services

Addiction Care & Treatment Services UHD Dorset provide critical support and treatment to individuals struggling with addiction, helping them reclaim their lives and rebuild their futures. By donating, you’re directly contributing to the resources, therapies, and programs that make lasting recovery possible.

This January, our team is taking on a 10K run to raise funds in support of Dry January—a movement encouraging individuals to go alcohol-free for the month. Dry January is more than just a challenge; it’s a chance to spark positive change in people’s lives. Here’s why it matters:

The Benefits of Dry January:

Improved Health: Taking a break from alcohol can lead to better sleep, increased energy, weight loss, and improved liver health. It’s a reset for the body after indulgent months like December.

Mental Clarity: Abstaining from alcohol often leads to improved mood, reduced anxiety, and better focus.

Financial Savings: Cutting out alcohol for a month frees up funds, showing how much can be saved with a lifestyle shift.

Breaking Habits: Dry January helps people reassess their relationship with alcohol, proving to themselves that they can enjoy life without it.

Inspiring Others: When one person takes part, it can encourage friends and family to consider healthier habits.

Addiction is a complex and deeply personal challenge, and no one should have to face it alone. Your donation not only supports the individuals seeking help but also raises awareness of the importance of initiatives like Dry January.

Let’s run together toward healthier, happier lives. Your contribution can change someone’s story—because everyone deserves a chance at recovery. Thank you for supporting this vital cause!

Warning: People who are clinically alcohol dependent can die if they suddenly, completely stop drinking.

If you experience fits, shaking hands, sweating, seeing things that are not real, depression, anxiety, or difficulty sleeping after a period of drinking and while sobering up, then you may be clinically alcohol dependent and should NOT suddenly, completely stop drinking.

But you can still take control of your drinking. Talk to a GP or your local community alcohol service who will be able to get help for you to reduce your drinking safely.
