Frequently Asked Questions

What is outpatient treatment?
If you’re receiving addiction treatment as an outpatient, then you’d be visiting the rehabilitation centre for a few hours each day to receive your therapies. You would then return home as you’re not required to stay at the drug and alcohol rehab overnight as an outpatient, whereas you would as an inpatient. Outpatient treatment isn’t suitable for someone with a very severe drug or alcohol addiction as they’re likely to require urgent and constant care, especially when going through detoxification.
How Will A Drug and Alcohol Rehab Know What Treatment Is Required?
Upon entering a drug and alcohol rehab, an admissions assessment, or clinical assessment as they are otherwise known, will be carried out. This assessment will enable medical professionals, psychologists and recovery support workers to understand your addiction and the impact it has had on your health and well-being in greater detail. In doing so, treatment can be advised and a personalised treatment programme can be devised.
Can I refer a family member for treatment?
Yes, you certainly can. Here at Addiction Advocates, we welcome family referrals from concerned family members. If you believe that a loved one is struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction, contacting our 24/7 helpline will help you take the first step in referring a family member for treatment. Although some addicts will accept support when it is offered to them, if your loved one has previously rejected any help provided to them, staging an intervention may be necessary. A last resort for many, interventions see family members meet with the individual in question and a member of our team to ensure that treatment is accepted and secured.
