How Does Rehab Work

Understanding the ins and outs of how drug and alcohol rehabs work is important to placate any fears you may have leading up to this stage.

Learning more information and understanding the different stages you may go through can help you to relax.

The people who staff these facilities are trained to deal with substance abuse issues, and specifically to help you meet your end goal of sobriety.

This is very much an achievable end goal, if you listen to the professionals, and put the work in required to kick unhealthy coping mechanisms and habits and replace them with healthy ones.

You start this stage of recovery by undergoing and physical and mental examination from trained medical staff.

This is so an assessment can be made of your substance abuse issues and your physical health.

This is to ensure the best course of action can be taken for your specific situation.

Addiction affects everyone differently and having these medical assessments will really help determine the type of treatment you need to go through and why.

An open dialogue between you are your medical staff/ doctors will be had so you understand everything that they suggest in no uncertain terms.

This is your health at the end of the day, and help is here for you to change the circumstances you find yourself in for good.

What Happens During Alcohol and Drug Rehab in Surbiton?

In Surbiton, after having your one-to-one medical assessment and guidance, a recovery plan will be tailored to you.

This of course will differ for each individual, deepening on the level of their substance abuse issues, and the route that they wish to take.

Following this, an inpatient or outpatient programme will be suggested to suit your situation as well as your financial means.

Support will be offered at every avenue at these stages so that it is ensured you are undergoing the best treatment plan.

Following this, most rehabilitation stages will undergo detoxification.

This involves the removal of all substances from your system.

Depending on where you are in your addiction, this may take 7-9 days, however it very much varies with every individual.

This is a stage where many will experience withdrawal symptoms. This can involve vomiting, sweating, faint spells and even heart failure.

This is why medical professionals advise that detox should be undertaken with medical assistance nearby.

This is to ensure your safety as your body starts to adjust to life without the use of substances.

What are the Alternatives to Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Surbiton?

Another type of formal addiction treatment is a home detox. Patients who are battling a physical addiction may request a home detox so that they can safely withdraw from the substance they are consuming.

They will be in touch with medical professionals as they get sober, and they will most likely receive visits so that their well-being can be monitored.

Unless the patient finds a private therapist independently, they will not have therapy as part of their drug or alcohol detox.

This is one of the things that makes home detoxes less successful than rehab, as it does not allow patients to understand why they have an addiction, and how they can recover from it psychologically.

However, there are plenty of positives to home detoxing. It is lower maintenance than drug and alcohol rehab in Surbiton, as it is quicker and more affordable.

It also allows the patient to stay in their own home, which sometimes means they are more comfortable in the detox process.

Outpatient treatment is another alternative to drug and alcohol rehab in Surbiton. This can take place at rehab or in a separate treatment centre.

We will focus on outpatient programmes that are distinct from rehab so that you can see the difference between being a rehab patient and a non-rehab patient.

When you start outpatient treatment, you will not have to move into a facility, as you will go to daytime sessions instead of engaging with a 24/7 rehab programme.

There will be a detox phase and therapy sessions, but they will take place throughout the day.

Outpatient programmes are often less expensive than rehab, and they allow patients to have more contact with their family, which can be a significant positive if the family dynamics are healthy. However, without a strict schedule, some patients struggle to stay sober.

They may be tempted to relapse when they go home, and because there is no 24/7 care, it is very easy for them to relapse.

There are several charity and NHS-run recovery services operating near Surbiton, including:

2. Tolworth Hospital

You can get free mental health support from organisations like Mind UK, Young Minds, Rethink Mental Illness, Samaritans and Papyrus.

Finally, a more informal way to treat addiction would be to go to self-help meetings. There are a wide range of meetings in Surbiton, from closed meetings for alcoholics to open meetings for people with behavioural addictions.

Closed groups are meetings for a set number of people, and everyone starts the sessions at the same time.

Open groups allow people to drop in at any point, which means you don’t have to commit to regular attendance.

Self-help groups are very successful as they allow people in recovery to bond with other people who are going through the same thing, and they provide a structure, which is very helpful when people are trying to stay sober.

As there are so many different organisations (Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous and SMART Recovery etc), you will never be short of meetings to attend.

Still, the reason we would recommend drug and alcohol rehab in Surbiton more than fellowship groups is that there is far less scope for relapse.

If you are struggling with severe addiction, it is usually not possible to recover by attending self-help groups, as you will not be immersed in recovery as you are at rehab.

Therapy for Alcohol and Drug Addiction

Following the stages of detox, therapy will be a useful tool used throughout your rehabilitation and beyond.

This will allow you to delve deeper into the reasons behind your addiction and try to solve them in an effective long-lasting way.

Some of the most commonly used addiction treatments include:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
• Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
• Family Therapy
• One to One Therapy
• Group Therapy
• Holistic Therapies (e.g. art therapy, music therapy, mindfulness)
• Motivational Interviewing
• Motivational Enhancement Therapy
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

These treatments take different approaches to addiction, from behavioural to medical. You might find that you have multiple treatments in order to tackle different aspects of your addiction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Cost of Alcohol and Drug Rehab?

Being aware of the financial cost that rehabilitation takes is a very understandable and valid fear that many people have. This is sometimes the reason why people put off seeking help, due to their financial situation.

However, this is a common mistake and you do not need to make the same one. Even if you are not in a strong or stable financial situation, there is help for you and you are still able to attend a drug and rehab facility in Surbiton.

The best way to assess your options is to head to your GP and discuss clearly what is the best port of call for you.

There are both inpatient and outpatient services that can be offered and assisted.

Discussing this further with a professional who knows the details of your area, health background, and perhaps even your substance abuse issue, will be the most beneficial route for you to take.

How Long is Rehab?

Once again this is a fear many have. They do not want to commit to a programme for months on end with no goal in sight. However, there is no quick fix to sobriety.

No matter how long you stay in a rehabilitation programme, your sobriety will be an aim and goal to achieve every day.

This means that your personal rehabilitation does not end when you leave a rehabilitation facility in Surbiton – this is just where it starts.

For a quick answer, an inpatient programme is typically 28 days in length, however, due to each individual and substance abuse issue being particular to that person, this of course can be less or more.

How to Understand Addiction

This is a hard thing to understand, as addiction can affect and mean something different to each person and circumstance.

However, what is important and what is massively prioritised within drug and alcohol rehab centres in and around Surbiton, is the effort made to understand what it is and how the person going through recovery feels.

Addiction can be very lonely and isolating and can lead to significant mental health issues, a condition knwon as dual diagnosis.

This is why if your loved one is affected by this disease, then having the patience and time to attend family therapy, or learn about what they are going through further, can really help to aid your relationships and overall well-being.

Addiction can touch every corner of your life, it can sever relationships and destroy careers.

Understanding why dependency and addiction issues occur and learning new healthy coping techniques and methods – can ensure you start your healthy, sober life today.

What is detoxification?

This is the stage where it is best to have medical attention and professionals close.

This is due to withdrawal symptoms being quite hard to handle. Withdrawal symptoms can involve nausea, vomiting, chest pain, sweating or shaking.

Having trained professionals near as you undergo this stage can be very effective and make the entire process safer.

Detoxification is the removal of substances from your body. It is where you break the daily intake of drugs or alcohol and start your sobriety, and due to this your body will be in shock and present withdrawal symptoms.
