Do you live in or around Handsworth and are fighting a drug or alcohol addiction? At Which Rehab we can help you find the support you need.
We can refer you to rehab services to Handsworth, matched to your needs. We pride ourselves on finding the right alcohol rehab or drug detox programme to help you start your recovery journey.
Which Rehab is a referral service. We don’t own or run the clinics in the Handsworth 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.
When it comes to kicking an addiction, the first hurdle for most people is accepting there’s an issue in the first place. Friends and family can see it clear as day but despite this, many people simply refuse to accept they have a problem with drugs or alcohol.
If you, or someone close to you, requires an intervention, we can refer you to a therapeutic service to determine if you have an issue. After that, you or your loved one can receive the proper treatment.
If you’re thinking of starting an alcohol detox or drug detox, a stay at a residential rehab is largely regarded to be the safest way to do so.
Doctors, nurses and psychiatric staff take care of you throughout your stay. From you initial assessment to establish your medical history and any past association with addiction, right through to detoxification.
They will support you as addictive substances such as drugs or alcohol are gradually washed from your system. This process can lead to unpleasant, sometimes painful side effects. Any required medication that can help lessen the withdrawal symptoms will be prescribed by the medical team.
At the end of your detox phase, your fight with drug or alcohol addiction will be well on its way, but not over. Regular therapy sessions can help you get a hold of the mental side of addiction, through the latest in contemporary techniques. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Integrated Counselling Therapy in the treatment of addiction.
Addiction counselling can prove very effective and helpful in overcoming alcoholism and drug addiction. Counsellors at the clinics we refer to work with you in a way that suits you, be that in a group or individual setting to discuss any issues which could play a role in your dependency.
Take control of your addiction after you’ve left our centre to ensure it stays at bay. Many of the clinics we refer to offer follow-up and aftercare services, allowing you to stay in touch with an advising team, either in person or by phone.
Addiction aftercare helps you or your loved one continue to attend the rehab centre for ongoing addiction counselling and support.
There are various other organisations offering support in the Handsworth 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.
