Drug and Alcohol Rehab Treatment in Essex

Benefit from effective drug and alcohol rehab in Essex.

When you attend our residential treatment facility, you receive high-quality addiction treatment on your doorstep. Rehab treatment typically commences with a medically assisted detox at our rehab clinic, followed by therapy treatments aiming to challenge the mental side of addiction.

During detox, you or your loved one will receive 24/7 medical attention. This ensures that you remain safe when tackling potentially painful and hard-to-manage withdrawal symptoms during detoxification.

Our drug and alcohol rehab in Essex employs a team of highly trained medical practitioners, including professional care workers, an onsite doctor, recovery specialists and therapists.

We are proud to offer an experienced team of addiction treatment specialists that provide specialist care to ensure an unrivalled rehabilitation service that provides you with the tools to achieve long-term recovery.

 

Addiction in Essex

Alcohol and drug addiction is a serious problem. The number of alcohol-related deaths has increased by 27% since 2019 with 9,641 deaths in 2021 alone.

There have also been 253 deaths in Essex due to drug poisoning between 2019 and 2022 according to the Office for national statistics.

  • Kidney or liver disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Cancers, including liver, bowel and neck
  • Stroke
  • Heart attack
  • Pancreatitis

What Happens at Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Essex?

The start to finish of a typical rehab programme can be broken down into 3 stages.

Stage 1 – Initial Assessment

Before you visit our rehab you will undertake a pre-admission assessment. This can be conducted in person or over the telephone by one of our counsellors.

Here we will start planning your rehab programme on the evidence you provide, and it gives us a good idea on any special requirements we have to put in place for you.

Once you arrive at our rehab, you will be given a full physical check-over by one of our onsite doctors and also a session with a psychiatrist upon arrival.

Stage 2 – Detox Process

Detox is the 1st step in your rehab programme. Here you will stop drinking or taking the drug you have become accustomed to.

Mentally and physically, it can be tough, as you may face a series of withdrawal symptoms. Detox generally lasts a few days, and the worst withdrawal symptoms come early in the process.

The “acute withdrawal phase” is usually within 24-72 hours after the patient’s last use of the substance. To best manage this, our centres will give you access to seasoned professionals with expertise in addiction recovery who meticulously monitor patients, ensuring the provision of essential medical and emotional care.

Medical supervision is an indispensable aspect of detoxification. To manage alcoholism-related symptoms, physicians may prescribe medication, such as chlordiazepoxide, in addition to offering nutritious meals and vital supplements to bolster patients’ physical and emotional well-being during the detox process. Our professionals are also well equipt to specialise in mental health-related issues as well. We use evidence-based treatments aimed at tackling the underlying causes of addiction whilst also offering patients essential emotional support.

The primary objective of detoxification is to provide a stable foundation for continuing treatment and recovery. Our inpatient rehabilitation facility offers patients the requisite medical and emotional support to complete the detoxification process successfully and surmount the physical and emotional withdrawal symptoms associated with addiction.

Stage 3 – Therapies and Relapse Prevention

As you move out of our detox wing and into the wider community at our rehab you will be closely guided by our counsellors and therapists. We will work with you through your personalised plan, including one on one sessions and group therapy sessions.

These therapy sessions are designed to help you come to terms with your addiction and help you to also learn a lot about yourself.

You will also form great relationships with other clients in rehab, and you will not feel like you are going through the process alone. You will learn from others, and others will also learn from you, great friends can often be met at rehab, and close bonds can be formed with your peers and staff.

The bonds can also strengthen your resilience to relapse. When you leave rehab, you have gained a network to rely on when you are struggling. You will learn that these challenges are expected and will have an understanding of how to deal with them.

I spent 2 weeks at Cassiobury, really think it might have saved my life, Jane walked me in on the first day and told me I wouldn't want to leave by the end of it, she wasn't wrong. Every member of staff were amazing and so supportive. Having had two not so good experiences at other rehabs I was very nervous and in a really bad way, at my worst point in drinking ever and thinking there was no way out, but now I feel better than I have in 4 years :) so apprecitive to literally everyone there, so welcoming and understanding. The food is amazing too, and will cater to your needs, felt so looked after and genuinely cared for, will forever be grateful for this experience x

Going for an experience of rehabilitation can be an extremely daunting one. Most people arrive broken, emotionally, financially and spiritually bankrupt; and most of all, they feel alone. My experience at Cassiobury Court exceeded all my wildest expectations. Immediately, I was swept up in a system of support, understanding and care. The staff was incredible - professional yet loving. The sessions there provided me with a solid foundation and understanding of my issues, leaving me equipped to deal with the outside world upon my discharge. The environment inside was like family where close ties were soon formed with no judgements being passed and only mutual care being cultivated. It was one of the most enriching experiences of my life and I am so grateful for having had this opportunity to pause my life and work on my well being towards a more wholesome future. If you’re needing help, this place is the best choice. You’ll be in great hands, highly recommended!

Cassiobury Court is a Unique Rehabilitation Facility I can’t thank the team at Cassiobury Court enough for their support through one of the lowest points of my life. From the management down to the recovery team, therapists, catering team, medical team, maintenance team and housekeepers. They all go above and beyond for the people in their care. Many of the staff members have personally been affected by addiction, so understand how it feels like to be at your lowest most broken point in life. It’s especially helpful for people going through their first rehab where they are gently led to understand their addiction and supported by a team of therapists. For anyone whose unfortunate enough to have had a relapse, they welcome you back without judgement and it’s like seeing old friends. The catering team are fantastic and will accommodate any dietary requirements. They have a simple aim - to nourish you back to health. The full English breakfast, regular roasts, salad bars, snacks and late night sandwiches are to die for. You can talk to the recovery team at anytime of the day, even if its just for a hug or reassurance. I know I've needed a hug on a couple of occasions. The experience at Cassiobury is very intimate, with around 25 guests at anytime all of whom quickly become a community providing support and will quickly climatise and welcome any newcomers. They too were anxious and confused when they first arrived. The internet and wifi has excellent coverage and it’s great to have Netflix available in your bedroom. You can also use your phone as long as your respectful of others. I’d like to especially thank Rebecca for her helping me at my most vulnerable and for her aftercare plan. I’d also like to make a shout out to Martin whose recovery sessions and general advice are always on point. Ollie for his super charged sessions and a Pauli for his breath coaching. Oh and you also get 12 months of aftercare with a weekly midday zoom call... I will end this by saying that with any rehab, you get what you put in. Go in with an open mind and use the time their to reset your life and deal with any demons from the past. Be truthful and honest with your piers and leave the past behind at Cassiobury Court. Then walk out of the gates to your new life. I wish you well in your recovery journey. Mr NA - West London

I was admitted to Cassiobury Court on Tuesday 3rd January 2023 for a 28 day period, suffering from alcohol addition. Having not been in rehab previously, I was unsure what to expect, Cassiobury Court provides detoxification, group sessions/discussions and 1-2-1's to its Clients in a relaxed atmosphere whilst also encouraging the completion of the 1st 3 steps from the AA 12 step programme. Anyway, everyone was very welcoming and I spent the 1st few days in the detoxification process, in which my sleep and appetite returned. I also felt very comfortable and had no compulsion to drink alcohol. From the start of the following week, I started attending the group sessions and numerous 1-2-1 sessions with counsellors, key workers or therapists. I have found everyone at Cassiobury Court, management, counsellors, key workers, medical staff, chefs and cleaning staff to be excellent n being very welcoming, enthusiastic and approachable at any time, with an effort on our recovery. The group therapy is excellent and the fellow clients support each other in recovery. The accommodation is excellent and the food (breakfast, lunch, dinner with late night sandwiches) are also excellent. You can get hot drinks, a range including water, teas, herbal teas, coffee and hot chocolate and yoghurts, fruit and biscuits, 24 hours/day. They offer an excellent weekly laundry service where your clothes are returned clean and folded within a few hours. Also, they provide a 12 month support service which involve weekly Zoom meetings. I left on Tuesday 31st January 2023 , in a much better place having competed the 1st 3 AA steps, and willing and ready to follow the AA 12 Step Programme. I would highly recommend Cassiobury Court to anyone who is looking for a alcohol or drug rehabilitation service. Finally, a big thank you, to all the staff at Cassiobury Court..

I have spent some time at Cassiobury Court over the last 6 months and cannot speak more highly of the experience. I admitted myself for alcohol addiction and was very scared when I arrived and did not have any idea what to expect. The staff could not have been kinder to me. I wanted to leave on day 2 because I was very anxious and out of my comfort zone, but fortunately staff members calmed me down and I ended up staying which I am very glad about. The schedule is very good with group sessions, some one on one sessions and therapy sessions. The food is excellent and the chefs are very accommodating if you wish to have something different. There is a daily trip to the local shop to get any bits you may need. All the staff are amazing, the recovery workers, the management, the chefs and kitchen staff and all that work at Cassiobury are all so caring and it really shows. You have time to get to know the rest of the group and I ended up building close bonds and have kept in contact with many that I met in Cassiobury (and I bump into people I met at meetings outside as well as on the aftercare calls). All in all, if your are considering a treatment centre then I would highly recommend Cassiobury Court, I am very grateful for my time there.

Just completed 28 days at Cassiobury Court and I am pleased to say it has been a positive experience.

I have been treated with kindness, privacy, dignity and respect. I leave having gained confidence and the power to succeed. Thank you to all at Cassiobury court.

I came here on January 2023. I was consumed by an alcohol addiction. I was at an all time low. Family and friends found this place for me, this was my first treatment. I felt very welcome upon entering the gates. All staff took great care of me.I was given a medical detox this made the start of the stay here very comfortable. I stayed here for 28 days and was given one on one therapy treatment, group sessions and external recovery meetings. The staff are very understanding and fair. I was given the tools and a brilliant foundation to achieve my goal with great support. Whilst staying here I started to realise there is light at the end of the tunnel to live in a positive and rewarding life if I keep myself focused. I am grateful for to have been here. My advice would be to take the first steps to get the help you need.

Where do I even start… This has been my second time in there as a year ago when I was there, I didn’t take the program seriously enough and I just wanted to get clean from drugs. However after having a few months sobriety, then relapsing as I didn’t do what was suggest to me! I ended up going back for 28 days. Let me tell you, that this experience was a one in a lifetime and I took everything on board, attended all sessions and did exactly what I was told! Every single member of staff at cassiobury go above and beyond for their clients. They put time and effort into all of us and someone is always there for you to talk to day or night. There is a huge range of sessions which you can attend and this give you the knowledge of your addiction. You also have counselling sessions once a week which helps massively🙏🏼 Cassiobury court feels like your home with your family. Leaving today was so tough as I left so many amazing people behind there. However this is the new start of my journey, I have the right tools behind me this time and I would never of been able to do it without cassiobury. Also big up the chiefs there! The food is AMAZING!!!!! I put on over a stone in 4 weeks…I think that says it all! Thank you cassiobury for giving me a new and improved way of living.

When I came in to Cassiobury I was all over the place my life was in chaos caused by me. I didn’t know what to expect when I arrived, I had been in another rehab before. I didn’t have a good experience there unfortunately. At Cassiobury I made the effort to be around everyone and learn, taking part in everything which is the only way to learn. The thing I really love about Cassiobury are staff who are in recovery themselves which is amazing - they point you in the right direction from their own experiences which has made all the difference to me. It’s been massive for me. You know when you are talking to staff they have done it themselves. Every single staff have been brilliant, they have different approaches and which has been the best therapy for me as they understand what I’ve been going through. I felt safe at Cassiobury which gave me a sense of relief and helped me to relax, release my anxieties and fears focusing on what I needed to do - from feeling broken I feel repaired. I cannot fully express what this is done for me. I can’t fault this place from the top to the cleaners. I leave Cassiobury with more understanding about addiction than I’ve ever had. I’ve got the tools I need which gives me the courage to remain sober. My loved one found this place and I’m so grateful that she did! She made a huge effort for me. You will get everything you need if you want it - don’t waste the opportunity. For me Cassiobury court will work for you but you need to work for yourself while you’re there - you won’t regret it.

 

Drugs Treated

Here at Cassiobury Court, we can provide professional alcohol addiction treatment as well as drug addiction treatment.

Drug addictions that we frequently treat at our Essex rehab include cocaine, cannabis, heroin, and prescription drugs, amongst another substance misuse.

We also treat alcohol addiction and have a number of alcohol addiction specialists and staff who have overcome addiction themselves which means that they are understanding and extremely empathetic to your situation throughout the whole process.

Cocaine Rehab in Essex

We are hugely experienced in the treatment of cocaine addiction. Our onsite practitioners can help you safely through the withdrawal process and into therapy which is an essential part of any cocaine rehabilitation process.

Withdrawing from cocaine is quite different from alcohol or heroin withdrawal, as the symptoms are more psychological than physical. It is important to have mental health workers and addiction specialists who are experienced in helping through recovery and rehabilitation.

As you go through a cocaine detox, you may  experience withdrawal symptoms such as:

  • Paranoia
  • Anxiety
  • Despair
  • Fatigue
  • Agitation

Our mental health workers can see you through both the detoxification period and necessary therapy to aid your long-term recovery from cocaine.

 

How Long Does Rehab Last?

The length of private drug and alcohol rehab in Essex is dependent on the severity of your addiction.

Some people may find 10 to 14 long enough to overcome their addiction whilst other people may need to stay in rehab for 28 days.

Our admissions team will be able to estimate the time you will need based on your current condition and the number of years you have been addicted.

 

How Much Does Rehab Cost in Essex?

Rehab prices vary depending on your choice of drug addiction treatment. Outpatient options tend to be less expensive than inpatient. However, you do not receive as much support, and you will still be exposed to the triggers in your home environment in Essex.

Although outpatient rehab is more expensive, you will experience 24/7 recovery staffing and have your meals and accommodation sorted for you.

Rehab programmes at Cassiobury Court range from £4,000-£10,000, depending on your needs and programme duration. Find out the cost of rehab here.

Rehab Insurance

At Cassiobury Court we accept payment from insurance companies that provide cover for residential treatment. This can be from providers such as Bupa Insurance, Aviva or AXA PPP who can cover part of the cost or the full amount depending on your insurance policy.

If you are concerned about the cost of private rehab, insurance is a great way to help you with this investment in yourself. Outpatient treatment funded by the NHS is another option for you if residential treatment programmes are out of your budget.

For more information about the cost of rehab in Essex, contact a member of our admissions team today on 0800 001 4070.

 

The Main Benefits of Inpatient Rehab Essex

Our modern facility set in a perfect location for addiction recovery. The location, facilities and recovery team are all essential components of a high-quality rehab centre that can provide effective treatment.

See below list of just some of the most important benefits our inpatient treatment centre provides:

  • Support groups – at our Essex rehab you have the peer support of other residents who are experiencing the same thing as you. This can help you stay on track and motivated during recovery.
  • Nutritional meals – at Cassiobury Court we have a team of professional chefs who are available to make you nutritional meals throughout the day. They are fully adaptable and can cater to all dietary requirements. Your laundry will also be taken care of for you.
  • Comfortable environment – our facility is modern, recently refurbished, and catered to your needs. We offer state-of-the-art facilities which are ideal for you to recover in.
  • Home away from home – a massive benefit of residential treatment is that you recover from your alcohol and drug addiction away from the triggers and environment that your addiction developed in. Although there are positives to receiving treatment at Essex rehab centres, by coming to our centre in Watford, you will be away from negative environments and have a safe place to recover at.

To find out more about our rehab centres, please contact a member of our admissions team who can discuss our admissions process and our facilities with you. Call us on 0800 001 4070.

Inpatient or Outpatient Treatment in Essex?

Choosing between private inpatient rehab in Essex and outpatient treatment can be difficult for those seeking to overcome their addiction. While outpatient treatment can be more flexible and less expensive, it often lacks the structure and intensity required to achieve long-term recovery from addiction.

Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient rehab provides a supportive and structured environment for those looking to overcome addiction. By residing in a dedicated rehabilitation facility, individuals can focus solely on their recovery, free from the distractions and triggers of everyday life.

The benefits of private inpatient rehab are numerous and include the following:

  • Inpatient rehab provides intense and continuous care over a 24-hour period.
  • The 24-hour care aspect involves delivering round-the-clock medical and therapeutic support.
  • Structured routines are provided, including a diverse range of activities such as therapy, support groups, exercise, relaxation time, and meal plans.
  • Inpatient rehab facilities provide bespoke treatment plans that are tailored to the personal needs and unique life circumstances of each patient.
  • Inpatient rehab offers an array of effective techniques and treatments ranging from one-on-one counselling to group therapy and meditation.
  • The sense of camaraderie and support from fellow individuals with shared goals within inpatient rehab settings is an incredibly uplifting and motivational part of inpatient rehab.

In conclusion, for those looking to overcome addiction, private inpatient rehab provides a structured, supportive, and effective environment for recovery. Individuals can make lasting and meaningful changes in their lives with personalised treatment plans, round-the-clock care, and access to therapeutic approaches.

Group in a therapy session

Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient addiction treatment typically includes group therapy sessions. Group therapy provides an opportunity to connect with peers who are also struggling with addiction and offers a safe space to voice any concerns about recovery.

There are also a number of benefits to seeking outpatient treatment in Essex. These include:

  • Flexibility: Outpatient rehab treatment provides you with greater flexibility to manage daily responsibilities such as work while still receiving addiction treatment. Unlike inpatient treatment, which requires you to reside at a treatment facility for a set period of time, outpatient treatment allows you to continue living at home and to attend to work, school, and family obligations.
  • Cost Effective: Outpatient rehab treatment is generally less expensive than inpatient treatment because it does not involve the same level of round-the-clock care, accommodation, and meals. Many outpatient programmes are available locally such as AA meetings.
  • Strong Support Network: Outpatient rehab treatment provides you with access to a strong support network that includes healthcare professionals, peer support groups, and family members. These support networks can be invaluable in helping individuals remain motivated, stay accountable, and build the skills and knowledge needed for long-term recovery.
  • Continuing Support: Outpatient rehab treatment provides continuing care that can help you remain engaged in the recovery process long after treatment has ended. This may include ongoing therapy, regular check-ins with healthcare professionals, and participation in peer support groups.

Outpatient rehab treatment can be a highly effective treatment option for anyone seeking to overcome addiction in Essex. It offers a flexible, cost-effective, and supportive environment that can help individuals achieve and maintain long-term sobriety.

Although outpatient treatment is a good option for some people, if you have a more severe addiction it is not always the most beneficial choice. Residential rehab offers intensive and leading treatments to address both the physical and psychological elements of addiction.

Private drug and alcohol rehab in Essex also achieves high recovery rates. This is as a result of the intensive treatments offered and the medical assistance that is provided throughout rehab.

Get in touch with our admissions team today to learn more about our rehab treatments. You can call on 0800 001 4070 or text HELP to 83222.

We also employ dedicated recovery staff who have experienced a recovery journey themselves, meaning they are incredibly understanding of your situation and experiences.

 

Therapy Options at Inpatient Rehab

Therapy is a very important part of rehab. Therapy can help you to understand your addiction, once you understand your addiction you can control it and any future urges from a position of strength. You can achieve clarity of mind when it comes to your actions, in the past it may have been almost like a reflex to have a drink or take drugs. We will move you past this and you will be more aware and educated about why and how this behaviour existed in your life.

We offer a variety of therapy options, including:

Talking Therapies

Some of the talking therapies that we use include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
  • Group Therapy
  • Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
  • One to one counselling

Modern Holistic Therapies

As well as traditional talking therapies, our drug and alcohol rehab in Essex provides a range of holistic therapies. These therapies aim to provide you with a range of powerful coping strategies for dealing with anxiety and depression.

This allows you to defeat negative emotions without resorting to substance misuse. Holistic therapies we provide include:

  • Reiki, massage
  • Reflexology
  • Mindfulness
  • Meditation
  • Stress management
  • Art therapy
  • Daily walks

The combination of therapies that we provide such as group therapy and art therapy, provides you with well-rounded treatment. We aim to provide effective therapy to all of our residents and understand that every individual is different.

This is why our tailored approach is so successful at achieving patient recovery. Find out more about our therapies here.

 

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Many people who are addicted to drugs or alcohol also have an underlying mental health condition.

In many cases, people are unaware they have mental health issues that can drive their addiction.

On the flip side, addiction can cause mental health issues in people who have started taking drink or drugs in excessive amounts.

As drink or drugs can raise dopamine levels in the brain, periods of anxiety and depression can occur when you are not using.

This is why we offer dual diagnosis treatment for people who struggle with drug and alcohol abuse, as well as a co-occurring mental health issue. Dual diagnosis treatment factors both the physical addiction and psychological health in its programme.

Beneficial treatment therapies for this condition includes cognitive behavioural therapy, talking therapies, group therapy and art therapy.

By treating both elements of addiction, you will have the best chance of long term recovery possible.

 

The Admissions Process to Rehab

We have made the admissions process to our rehab centre as straightforward as possible to help you with the recovery process. It can be overwhelming to know where to start when seeking addiction treatment for yourself or a loved one, which is why we are here to help you.

The first step of the admissions process is you getting in touch with a member of our friendly team. Call 0800 001 4070 to speak to a member of the admissions team and start your initial enquiry.

A pre-admissions assessment will then take place so our team can understand your needs and type of addiction better. You will be asked a number of questions to help with the process, which includes your name and address, age, drugs or alcohol you consume, the severity of your addiction and your addiction history.

You may also be asked about your mental health and whether you suffer from any pre-existing mental health problems so we can put together the best plan for your needs. The entire pre-admissions screening takes place over the phone and will last no longer than 20 minutes.

Once you have completed this step, you will then be required to pay a treatment deposit to secure your place within our rehab facility. We accept payment by debit or credit card, electronic bank transfer, or cash.

You will then receive an admission date once the deposit has been paid. You will be welcomed to our rehab centre by a member of our recovery team and greeted by a doctor who will complete a clinical assessment of your needs.

For more details about the admissions process, you can also call up today on 0800 001 4070.

Aftercare Services and Support in Essex

We understand that the recovery journey doesn’t end when you leave our rehab centre, and that’s why we offer a comprehensive aftercare program to support you in maintaining your sobriety and the progress you’ve made in treatment.

Our aftercare programme is structured as weekly group sessions held every Monday, which you can attend for up to 12 months after discharge. Our experienced recovery staff and therapists will help you review the parts of your treatment program that you found particularly challenging or helpful and to help you focus on the eight areas of wellness that are essential to your overall health and well-being.

Our lead therapist will oversee the aftercare program to ensure that you receive the support you need, and the sessions will take place via Zoom, making it accessible to everyone regardless of location. This programme is designed to help you integrate what you’ve learned in rehab into your everyday life and to give you the tools and support you need to stay on track with your recovery.

Maintaining support in Essex is really important during the recovery process, especially as the months following addiction treatment in an inpatient rehab are the hardest. We also recommend that you seek Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meetings in Essex to experience continued support and guidance.

Peer support is a key element in addiction recovery, which is why support groups are such a beneficial part of the recovery process.

Support for Family and Friends

Watching a family member suffer from an addiction can be heartbreaking. They may not be acting their usual self anymore and trying to convince them they need help can be a delicate matter.

We are not only able to provide support and guidance, but we can also guide you in conducting a family intervention if necessary to help your family member kickstart recovery.

If you understand how to approach the topic of addiction with a loved one, it is much more likely that they will seek treatment themselves.

Our family referral service is a helpful tool to support you as you approach a loved one about their alcohol or drug addiction. Speak to us today for guidance and advice.
