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 Southwark 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.
Southwark rehab centres offer a range of treatments. They provide help for drug and alcohol addictions, but also for behavioural addictions. Whether you need rehab, detox or counselling, rehab is here to provide you with the necessary information to decide what’s best for you. Our treatments include:
A structured drug and alcohol detox programme is available at rehabs in and around Southwark.
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.
Medical staff will provide constant care and attention, 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.
Group therapy is a form of therapy in which a group of inpatients or outpatients are led by a specialist therapist in a course of therapy sessions to help them combat their problems. They are intended to provide support and encouragement in order to overcome denial and aid the recovery process.
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.
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 Southwark, you’ll be under constant care and attention from 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.
Be assured 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 a residential rehab, 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.
When you have completed detoxification and undergone rehab, and you are ready to leave the clinic, 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?
You can also make use of the various other organisations offering support in the Southwark 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.
