Choosing Private Drug and Alcohol Rehab

Private drug and alcohol rehab is one of the more effective treatment pathways. Though there is a greater cost attached, booking yourself into private treatment has many benefits.

Faster Admission

Unfortunately, local services and the NHS are often overwhelmed. This means you may be on a long waiting list that can be difficult to stand when you are in desperate need. Going private means you move through the admissions process a lot quicker. In some cases, if there is a space, you can be in a facility within days of your initial enquiry. When it comes to starting the recovery journey, it is best to act quickly, and private rehab allows you to do this.

Benefits of Medically Assisted Detox

One of the many treatment options available at a private treatment centre is medically assisted detox. In this process, medication is given to help ease the more severe withdrawal symptoms. This is a much more comfortable way to experience withdrawal and as you will be cared for throughout there should be less stress.

Time Away

Going to a new place, potentially far from your home, provides a much-needed pause. This break in your routine can help you distance yourself from your past and bad habits. Away from temptations and triggers you can focus on your recovery and gain some vital perspective.

Better Facilities

Privately funded rehab centres often have better facilities. You have access to dedicated drug and alcohol detox rooms, communal lounge areas, outdoor spaces to relax, a gym and a private en-suite room.

Admissions Process to Rehab

We aim to make the admissions process as stress-free as possible. It will begin with a telephone assessment. We will ask you questions about your addiction history, medical history and many other factors. With all this information, we will give you suitable treatment options, and you can pick the best rehab centre for you.

Once an admission date is sorted and you’ve decided on how long you will go for, you will put down a deposit to secure your place. Before you begin your treatment, you will undergo a doctor’s assessment to ensure you are healthy enough to get through rehab.

How Long Do I Stay in Rehab?

When entering rehab, you are expected to complete a minimum 28-day programme. This should give you enough time to complete a comprehensive alcohol and drug detox regime. learn the foundations of coping techniques that will help you beyond rehab.

You can stay as long as you like, but that will cost more.

Therapy Treatments for Drug and Alcohol Addiction

At a private alcohol and drug rehab you will take part in therapy. This is key to overcoming the psychological root causes of your addiction.

You will be expected to take part in individual therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. This type of talking therapy involves you learning coping skills and examining your thought processes and attitudes, turning them into something more positive.

Group therapy will have you talking to other people in the rehab. There you will hopefully work through issues and get support from people who are in the same situation. Group therapy can help you realise that you are alone in your struggle.

Some private treatment centres offer well-being therapies such as yoga and mindfulness to improve your mental health and de-stress you.

What Happens After Rehab?

Completing rehab is not the end of the road.

Most relapses occur within the first few months of leaving rehab, so it is important to be on your guard. To help you with this, most private rehabs offer a free aftercare plan.

This plan will be personalised to you – including strategies and steps to help you deal with being newly sober. Attending support group meetings is a key part of post-rehab life and can help you achieve your long-term recovery goals.

With achievable post-rehab goals that are noted and encouraged, you should feel more motivated to stay clean. Long-term recovery is much more possible by engaging fully with aftercare and a relapse prevention plan.
