Disabled access can often be a problem for many when choosing a suitable alcohol or drug detox, many simply aren’t accessible for people with a mobility problems. Our alcohol detox clinic in Bradford, Yorkshire, was built with accessibility in mind. The clinic was purpose built with disabled ramps, lifts and wheel chair accessible bathrooms. We cater for most mobility disabilities including Cerebral Palsy, Walking Disabilities, Down syndrome, Reflex Disabilities etc.
