Benefits of Private Rehab Treatment

When you start looking at rehab treatment options, you’ll begin to see two primary options of treatment services; these are private rehab or NHS rehab. Private rehab has a cost associated with it whereas NHS rehab is typically low cost or free through your local health service. Whilst receiving addiction treatment for free is appealing, this isn’t necessarily the best way to overcome your addiction. Many people struggle to fully overcome their addiction through NHS treatment as they’re unable to provide a personalised service which is key to so many successful recoveries. This is unfortunately due to budget and resource constraints, resulting in addiction treatments being a generic programme for each person to follow.

In contrast, private drug and alcohol rehabs have the advantage of excellent facilities and dedicated medical staff who are experts in addiction treatment. They’re able to take the time to get to know each person and understand the nature of their addiction in more detail to help design a personalised treatment programme. This high level of attention to detail and personalisation has proven to produce great success rates for drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Whilst private rehab treatment is known to provide the most effective addiction treatment, it’s still worth exploring which option may work best for you. A good place to start is with your local GP, you can find their details by clicking here.

What to Expect During Detoxification in Catford

The process of detoxification is essential to achieve a full recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. It’s used to stop both your psychological and physical addiction to the substance by gradually reducing your consumption. Detoxing may also be supported with prescribed medication to ease any discomfort of withdrawal symptoms if needed. When undergoing a detox, it’s usually required that you attend residential rehab so that our team of medical professionals are on hand to support you every step of the way. Their expert guidance is also necessary when dealing with any withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, headaches, dizziness, insomnia, seizures, or delirium tremens (the DT’s).

We strongly advise against any attempts to detox at home on your own without the support of addiction professionals. When managed within a professional rehab setting, detoxification can be a highly effective tool in recovering from drug or alcohol addiction, however, attempts at home usually begin with going ‘cold turkey’ which can be highly dangerous. Don’t put yourself at risk of developing a life-threatening condition by doing this at home. Take the advice of our professionals and let us help you achieve your long-term recovery goals.
