About Us

Detox Today with James McInally is a UK-based alcohol support and information service founded by James , an author and professional working in the alcohol treatment and recovery field.

Drawing on both lived experience of alcohol use disorder and years of experience helping people change their relationship with alcohol, James has developed an approach that recognises there is no single route to recovery. His work brings together evidence-based medical treatments, psychology, behavioural change, neuroscience and established recovery approaches.

His service provides information and support covering alcohol detoxification, reducing or stopping alcohol use, relapse prevention and medications used in the treatment of alcohol use disorder, including naltrexone and acamprosate.

James is the author of Cut Down. Stop. Stay Stopped., a comprehensive practical guide for people who are drinking more than they want to, want to stop completely, or are trying to maintain long-term change. The book explores medication, psychology, neuroscience, behavioural strategies and different recovery approaches, alongside dedicated material on subjects including women and alcohol, anxiety, sleep, trauma, families and long-term recovery.

The aim of both Detox Today and James's wider work is to make credible, practical information about alcohol problems accessible to people wherever they are on the spectrum of alcohol use, without assuming that one approach will work for everyone.
