The rehab in Gloucestershire is in a tranquil and rural area with a self-contained accommodation and treatment facility. You will enjoy complete privacy and space to rest, relax and reflect with others in a similar situation. Despite the rural location, the rehab in Gloucestershire has excellent transport links and more than enough facilities to make you feel at home during your rehab.

What are the stages of rehab?

The rehab in Gloucestershire treatment program is divided into three main parts: detox, therapy and aftercare. Most rehab experts agree that you must remain completely abstinent from drugs and alcohol to have a successful recovery. You must remove all the substances from your body and improve your health in this stage. Thankfully the days of a ‘cold turkey detox are over, and modern rehab experts view this as unnecessarily uncomfortable and unsafe. Medical detox will offer specially developed medications to ease the withdrawal symptoms and keep you comfortable and well-rested. You can start with therapy at this time, but the mission in the first week is to regain your physical health.

With the chemical dependence gone from your body, addressing what led you into substance abuse is the next order of business. Rehab counsellors are available in the Gloucestershire rehab for one-on-one sessions to work on your triggers and diagnose any mental health concerns. C.B.T. (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) is used in addiction and mental health treatment to explore problems you are having and find ways of coping with them.

Group therapy, led by a counsellor, is also very helpful in addiction treatment. You can share experiences with others in the same situation as you, which helps with feelings of isolation. Role-playing with your fellow residents gives you the chance to think about what you will do when you leave the rehab and return to socializing and are exposed to triggers. Group also prepares you for recovery meetings and cafes, which significantly increase your chances of remaining clean and sober in the years to come.

How long can a patient stay in rehab?

The average time spent in rehab is around a month or more, depending on the severity of the addiction and how the individual feels. Detox is usually around a week to two weeks, followed by several weeks of therapy. For some, a more extended rehab is needed, and more time away from outside pressures and social contacts leads to a more robust recovery. Most rehab offers a discount on the price of your rehab after the initial 28 days or abstinent housing close to the rehab.

Rehab Aftercare

Life begins after rehab, but you won’t go back unsupported. The drug and alcohol rehab Gloucestershire centres that we recommend offer a year of free aftercare for former residents. This means that you can call or visit for counselling and support. You will also devise a comprehensive plan of how you will deal with temptation and challenging situations. They will also offer advice on how to build a solid support network and prevent relapse.

Rehab Costs

Rehab in the U.K. falls into two broad categories private inpatient and community outpatient treatment. There are some N.H.S. funded places in private rehabs, but these are rare, and you can wait several months or more for a space. There are many ways to pay for private rehab. Besides personal finance, you can talk to friends and family and ask for a contribution. Rehab is an investment in your future wellbeing, and employers and health insurers may also help cover part or all the cost.

Free rehab

Private rehab may not be an option for some, and you must seek community outpatient help if this is the case. You are always better off away from drug or alcohol addiction and safer detoxing at home than continuing with substance abuse. The first port of call is with your G.P. for a detox prescription. If this is too difficult for you, local rehab groups will help with alternative routes to find these medications. It is a good idea to find a friend or family member to be with you while you detox. This improves safety. It is crucial to choose someone supportive of your recovery and happy to be abstinent from drugs and alcohol during this time.
