Are you struggling with drug or alcohol addiction and looking for rehab in Greenwich? Which Rehab can set you on the path to recovery with our rehab and detox referral service in the Greenwich area.
Which Rehab is a referral service. We don’t own or run the clinics in the Greenwich 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.
There are a number of drug rehabs throughout Greenwich. Contact our advisors to find the right local rehab for you.
The price for drug rehab in Greenwich varies across the borough, depending on the location and the facility itself. Visit our prices page for an overview or get in touch for a quote.
Drug detox can be uncomfortable, and it is not advisable to quit using without professional help. There are a number of medications which can be given to help with the withdrawal symptoms, but it is not advisable to do this without the help of a medical professional. A lot of people in London decide to detox in a residential rehab where they can receive ongoing support and professional help.
Residential rehab in the UK is usually paid out of pocket, but private health insurance may be used to fund treatment.
In special cases, the NHS or social services may assist in paying for your stay at a residential centre when local community-based treatments do not suffice.
It’s simply down to you, you choose! Try a week programme, stay for 2 weeks or take a 28-day programme in full-time Greenwich rehab. If you are an outpatient, you may be in rehab for up to 3 months. Contact us today for a tailored programme to suit you.
The journey to kicking addiction starts with accepting you have a problem to start with. Denial is the main obstacle that prevents many people suffering from alcoholism or drug addiction from seeking lifesaving 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.
That’s when an intervention can be effective. Interventions offer addicts and their friends and loved ones the opportunity to speak to a trained counsellor, who helps determine if they have a dependency and start the steps to getting the help they need.
At the Greenwich rehab centres we refer to, a range of addiction treatments are on offer. Help is on hand for drug and alcohol addictions but also for behavioural addictions. Whether you need rehab, detox or counselling, we are here to provide you with the necessary information to decide what’s best for you.
Structured rehabilitation programmes and aftercare services are available at the drug and alcohol rehabs in and around Greenwich we refer to. Our focus is to help you stay clean in the long term after your recovery.
The first step is to get the addictive substances out of your body, and that’s where detox treatments come into play. Read more in our guide below.
At Which Rehab we recognise that everyone is different. That’s why we find therapy sessions in both individual and group settings.
Group therapy sessions involve a group of inpatients or outpatients being led by a therapist to help them combat their problems. They are intended to provide support and encouragement in order to overcome denial and aid the recovery process.
1-2-1 sessions on the other hand allow you to talk in private with a counsellor who has your focus entirely.
There are benefits to both options, so talk to our team today to find out which would be best for you.
The 12-step approach is a programme based on 12 principles to overcome addiction and substance abuse. The 12 steps that participants go through act as a bridge between past behaviours to encourage them to take responsibility for the past, present and future and accept they are responsible for the decisions they make.
Holistic therapies are introduced into rehab and addiction treatment to improve the wellbeing and reduce the stress of individuals during the withdrawal process of their addiction. They are used to help heal the mind, body and spirit rather than just the illness.
Holistic treatments can include; yoga, meditation, art, massage, sport and exercise, music and much more.
Before starting a recovery journey you must first accept you have an addiction. It’s more common than you might think to be in denial about your drug or alcohol use, even if it’s obvious to your friends and loved ones.
At Which Rehab we can help by referring you to an intervention service where a skilled advisor discusses your situation with you. They’ll be able to determine if you or a loved one do have an issue with addiction and get you the right care.
There are many benefits of attending a rehab programme for alcohol or drugs including:
Alcohol or Drug Detoxification is considered the initial stage of any ongoing rehab programme.
When staying at a rehab centre in Greenwich, you’ll be under care and attention from medical staff who’ll guide and monitor you through every part of your detox.
It can be a trying process, with addictive substances being cleansed from your body, leading to sometimes uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms.
Doctors and nursing staff will keep a close watch on you throughout the procedure, administering any medication you require and observing any alteration in your condition, stabilising you if necessary until your detox is completed.
You can then move on to the next phase of your ongoing rehabilitation programme. Through counselling, you can delve into the psychological characteristics of addiction.
During your stay at the residential centre, you may attend both individual and group addiction therapy, where you can talk about any ongoing problems or underlying concerns which could have a bearing on your dependency.
It’s also becoming more commonplace to employ cutting-edge therapies in the treatment of addiction, from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Integrated Counselling Therapy to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, among others.
Be assured that your recovery can continue after you leave any of the Greenwich rehab centres we refer to. You can make use of a follow-up and aftercare service, where you’ll stay in touch with an advising team, either face-to-face or over the phone. They’ll offer you outpatient care, letting you get back to normal life more quickly. This is such an important service in the prevention of relapse and for maintaining rehab therapy.
If that sounds like where you want to get to, why don’t you give us a call?
You can also make use of the various other organisations offering support in the Greenwich 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 health practice can also provide support, but as they are not specialist addiction treatment doctors, most GPs will 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. Unfortunately, as with most NHS services they can be under financial pressure as well as lengthy waiting times.
