Abbeycare Scotland, a prominent residential rehabilitation centre in Erskine, Renfrewshire, has set a new benchmark in addiction recovery by becoming the first facility of its kind in the UK to achieve the esteemed BSI ISO 9001 accreditation. Recognised by the British Standards Institution, this certification serves as a testament to Abbeycare’s unwavering dedication to quality care and continual improvement in supporting individuals battling drug and alcohol addictions.

ISO 9001 is a globally respected standard awarded to organisations that meet stringent requirements, including robust planning processes, risk assessments, quality controls, and a focus on continuous improvement. For anyone looking for help, this award reassures them they’ll get reliable, top-quality care designed just for them. The certification reflects not only the expertise but also the compassionate approach of Abbeycare Scotland’s team as they strive to guide individuals toward recovery.

Abbeycare Scotland offers an integrated model for addiction recovery, including supervised detoxification, counselling, recovery planning, family support, and comprehensive aftercare. Its programmes are designed to tackle the underlying causes of addiction, empowering individuals to reclaim their lives and work towards a brighter future. Chief Executive of the Abbeycare Group, Paul Bowley, hailed the achievement as a significant milestone, commenting, “The ISO 9001 certification is a testament to the relentless efforts of our dedicated staff and our commitment to providing outstanding services for those battling addictions. This recognition serves as a reassurance to all clients that they are receiving care of the highest standard.”

This accreditation not only strengthens confidence in rehabilitation services but also places Abbeycare Scotland at the forefront of addiction recovery in the UK. It highlights the critical need to uphold safety, accountability, and quality in tackling addiction—a growing challenge in communities nationwide. The Abbeycare Group also operates a similar facility in Gloucestershire, which aims to pursue ISO 9001 certification in the future, further cementing the organisation’s role as a national leader in recovery services.

Earning this respected quality standard shows Abbeycare’s commitment to setting an example and changing lives. It shows their dedication to providing top-quality care and helping people build healthier, substance-free lives.
