The Smithfield residential detoxification service is
located in the heart of Manchester City centre and
has been delivering inpatient detoxification since
1993. It’s a 22 bedded unit which is staffed 24
hours a day; this is the first step of your journey to
abstinent recovery.
The focus of our group programme and key working
sessions are around preparation for when you leave
treatment. Additional activities include

and social activities (including
film and quiz nights).
Peer support and mutual
aid groups meet in the
building. We are also happy
to accompany you to external

YOU ASKED US...
“The staff at Smithfield were so
very helpful, caring and kind. My
stay was a pleasure and very
positive. Staff did everything they
could to help and make my stay
comfortable, informative, positive
and memorable. Their kindness I will
always remember. I had first wanted
a home detox, but for medical
reasons I wasn’t allowed one. I am
so grateful now that I was given a
place at Smithfield. I will highly
recommend it to people I may know
who are in the position I was in a
few weeks ago. Thank you so much
for helping me with my journey and
enabling me to get my life back and
look forward to a bright future.”
Andrew
“I would like to say a huge
thanks for all the support you
have given my mum, she is a
changed woman and me and my
sister have our mum back. This
is the new start she needed.”
