Which Rehab is a referral service. We don’t own or run the clinics in Croydon that we mention in this guide. When we refer you to a private clinic, they pay us a fee, so our service is free to you.
Are you based in Croydon and battling drug or alcohol addiction? Are you wishing you could live free of addiction once and for all?
At Which Rehab, we can help you find addiction treatment services, from free telephone advice to drug or alcohol rehab admission through our rehab directory.
Many families experience one of the many frustrating characteristics of addiction, which is denial. Denial can prevent individuals suffering from alcoholism or drug addiction from seeking life-saving treatment and accepting help.
Even when it is blatantly obvious to all around them that professional help is needed, they still think that you are making a fuss over nothing and that they are ok as they are.
If you, or someone close to you, requires an intervention, we can put you in touch with a service to determine if you have an issue. After that, you or your loved one can receive the proper treatment.
We can help you find structured drug and alcohol detox programmes at our rehabs in and around Croydon.
This process involves stopping the consumption of addictive substances such as drugs or alcohol, which are gradually washed from your system, leading to unpleasant, often painful side effects. Fortunately, medical staff will be on hand to prescribe any required medication to deal with withdrawal symptoms.
You’ll be under constant care and attention from medical staff, monitoring every part of your detox. It can be a trying process, but be assured the team will keep a close watch on you throughout.
When you have completed your medical detox, you can explore the mental aspect of addiction through regular therapy sessions.
You can speak to a counsellor, either individually or as part of a group, who will discuss any issues which could play a role in your dependency. It can play a crucial role in your drug and alcohol rehab.
Contemporary therapy techniques, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy and integrated counselling therapy might be used in the treatment of your addiction.
When you have completed detoxification and undergone rehab, and you are ready to leave the clinic, but that doesn’t have to be the end of your treatment.
You can still receive the best care and attention when you go home, by signing up for an aftercare programme. Aftercare can play a vital role in stopping you from falling back into bad habits as you adjust to life outside rehab.
Just by keeping in touch with an advisor, either individually or as part of a group, you can avoid relapse and continue with your recovery.
If that sounds like where you want to get to, why don’t you give us a call?
Help is also offered by numerous organisations including the NHS, Social Work Services, Charity Rehabs and public/private partnerships, as well as group support organisations such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous and family support groups too.
As General Practitioners (GPs) are not specialist addiction treatment doctors, most GPs refer individuals to local specialist NHS services, commonly called Local Alcohol and Drug Partnerships (ADP) or Community Addiction Teams (CAT). These offer great services, but similar to most other NHS services, they can be under financial pressure as well as lengthy waiting times.
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.
