Addiction Treatment Options in Tunbridge Wells

Alcohol and drug addiction is a serious issue that, unfortunately, does not have an easy fix. It will affect your entire life and can easily lead you to suffer from long-term health problems if you don’t do something about it.

We don’t tell you this to scare you. We think that it is important that you fully understand the risk of long-term drug or alcohol abuse. You are putting yourself at risk for any of the following:

  • Heart disease
  • Lung failure
  • Kidney failure
  • Throat, lung, and bowel cancer
  • Loss of teeth
  • Organ failure without access to organ donation
  • Criminal record

But you don’t need to be afraid. There are options available to you to take back your life from addiction and start to reverse the health problems it has created. You must remember that it is never too late to get help for your drug or alcohol addiction at a rehab in Tunbridge Wells.

There are a couple of treatment options available in the Tunbridge Wells area. These treatments each have their positives and negatives but what is important is that they can help you. They can also offer different kinds of rehab experiences that can work best for different lifestyles and needs.

Outpatient Rehab

The first treatment option you have is to get help for your addiction from the NHS as outpatient treatment.

The NHS provides free rehabilitation services to anyone in the country who needs their help. This can be a very good option for those that would struggle to pay for their treatments.

The NHS rehab option will give you what you need. It may be difficult to access them. We don’t want to put you off seeking help from any official sources. Still, you should know the unfortunate reality surrounding getting help from the NHS.

The rehabilitation services are part of the mental health sector, one of the NHS’s most underfunded and understaffed areas. This means they have no choice but to prioritise only the most severe cases. This leaves you potentially jumping through hoops to prove that your addiction is bad enough to get treatment.

This can also be a very long process, with the waiting list just to see a doctor about your addiction often taking months. But if you have no other options, it will be able to help you.

Private Drug and Alcohol Rehab

Alternatively, you have the private rehab option that allows you to get the treatment you need as soon as you ask for it.

While some people can be discouraged from getting help from private rehab due to the cost, you will receive the best form of treatment via this form of recovery. The high-quality treatment is provided in luxurious facilities that are designed to help you only focus on yourself.

All your treatments are available as an inpatient, so you don’t need to worry about being exposed to any temptation while you are there. It is also the option that has proven to give you the best chance at achieving long-term recovery. To learn more about alcohol and drug rehab Tunbridge Wells, call today on 0800 470 0382.

 

The Detox Process

The detox process is what makes it safe for you to stop abusing drugs and alcohol. It is important because when you stop regular drug use, you end up experiencing withdrawal symptoms which include:

  • Mood swings
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Irritability
  • Aggression
  • Paranoia
  • Insomnia
  • Nightmares or night terrors
  • Headache
  • Measure
  • Vomiting
  • Hives
  • Hot flashes
  • Chills
  • Diarrhoea
  • Muscle pain
  • Muscle spasms
  • Hallucinations
  • Fever
  • Dehydration
  • Delirium
  • Seizures

To safely wean your body off all drugs and alcohol, the drug and alcohol detox process slowly let it rid itself of all toxins.

The detox takes around ten days to complete. During this time, you will be monitored day and night by our rehab centre’s medical team, who will ensure that your withdrawal symptoms never progress to the point of danger.

This is done by handling your symptoms through medication that mimics the effects of your substance of choice. This tricks your body into relieving the withdrawal symptoms.

The detox is your start to the rehab journey, and it gives you a fresh start so that you can carry on and learn how to deal with your cravings.

 

Therapy and Aftercare at Private Rehab

Therapy in residential rehab is designed to teach you how to manage your cravings in the long run. This is done by teaching you healthier coping mechanisms and how to understand your own mental health.

You will do this by working with your therapist doing any of the following therapies:

  • Cognitive behavioural therapy
  • Motivational interviewing
  • Holistic therapy
  • Group therapy
  • Individual therapy

These work for different needs. For example, holistic therapy offers alternative ways to communicate and share your thoughts and feelings. It also focuses on mindfulness which will help you centre yourself in the moment and avoid giving in to your cravings.

Aftercare is follow-up therapy sessions available up to a year after you leave our rehab centre. It is designed to give you supervision and someone you can still talk to you about how you feel.

 

How Much Does Residential Rehab Cost?

On average, rehab costs around £4000-10,000, but don’t worry too much about this price. If you or your work pays into private health insurance, all or some of the costs of your stay may be covered.

The cost of rehab can put a lot of people from getting the help that they need. But it is important to remember that this is an investment into your future and your health. You are putting your money into making yourself healthier and happier.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long are rehab programmes typically?

    This will largely depend on whether you opt for an outpatient or inpatient addiction treatment programme. Most of the inpatient treatment programmes that we may refer you to will likely be 28 day courses. However, there are some inpatient treatments that can last for a series of months. Largely, the length of time that you require actual therapy sessions to treat your addiction will be dependent upon how severe your addiction is, how committed you are to recovery, and how well you respond to treatment.

  • How do I begin my path to recovery?

    If you have recognised that you are an addict, then you’ve already taken the first step. That in itself is a victory that many people cannot face up to. After you’ve done that it is best to do some research on how you wish to undergo treatment. Do you want to undergo treatment on an inpatient or outpatient basis? Do you want to go private or with the NHS? It may seem overwhelming but reaching out to a friend or family member for help or contacting one of our team at Rehab Clinics Group is a positive next step.

  • How to help a family member with addiction?

    We offer a friend and family referral service to help family members get their loved one the help they need. After treatment has finished and family members are in more constant contact with the recovering loved one it’s important to be there for them. It’s also important for family members to look after themselves – many find comfort in attending support meetings as well to connect with people going through the same thing. Openness and understanding all around are vital to moving forward and might make it easier to spot any warning signs down the line.
