Are you struggling with drug or alcohol addiction and live in Edgbaston in the West Midlands? Which Rehab can help you start your recovery journey, with referral to a clinic suited to your situation.
We can refer you to a suitable alcohol rehab or drug detox programme to meet your needs.
Which Rehab is a referral service. We don’t own or run the clinics in the Edgebaston we mention in this guide. Where we refer you to a private clinic, they pay us a fee, so our service is free to you.
We know that the first obstacle for many people struggling with addiction is acknowledging the issue in the first place. Despite visible signs and the concerns of friends and family, many people simply refuse to accept they have a problem with drugs or alcohol.
If your loved one or family member is clearly putting themselves at risk through their addiction but is unable to see or acknowledge the consequences of their actions, then they could benefit from a drug and alcohol intervention. Interventions offer you the opportunity to speak to a trained counsellor, who can help people determine if they have a dependency and start the steps to getting you the help they need.
Ready to start your alcohol detox or drug detox? Staying at a residential rehab clinic in the Birmingham area, close to Edgbaston, ensures help is at hand throughout your rehabilitation.
During your stay at one of the clinics we refer to, you will be in the care of trained medical staff. Doctors, nurses and psychiatric staff will first carry out a thorough assessment which will establish your medical history and any past association with addiction, before you proceed with detoxification.
Addictive substances such as drugs or alcohol, will be gradually washed from your system, which can lead to unpleasant, often painful side effects. Any required medication that can help lessen the withdrawal symptoms will be prescribed by the medical team.
When the detox phase is complete, we can refer you to regular therapy sessions to help guide you through the mental aspect of addiction. Addiction counselling can prove very effective and helpful in overcoming alcoholism and drug addiction.
You can speak to counsellors in a group or individual setting to discuss any issues which could play a role in your dependency. Many of the clinics we refer to offer contemporary therapy techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Integrated Counselling Therapy in the treatment of addiction.
Your recovery doesn’t stop after you leave our specialist rehab centre. We can direct you to follow-up and aftercare service to stay in touch with an advising team, either in person or by phone. The clinics offer outpatient care, letting you get back to normal life quickly. This is an effective way to avoid relapse and for maintain your rehab therapy.
There are various other organisations offering support in the Edgbaston area. These include the NHS, Social Work Services, Charity Rehabs as well as public and private partnerships. Beyond that there are fantastic group organisations like Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous and family support groups.
Your local GP can also help, but as with most NHS services, they can be under financial pressure as well as lengthy waiting times.
As they are not addiction treatment specialists, GPs will generally refer individuals to local specialist NHS services, such as the Local Alcohol and Drug Partnerships (ADP) or Community Addiction Teams (CAT), all of which are fantastic services.
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
