Why Visit Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Newark-on-Trent?
Professionally supported rehab is the best way to recover from addiction. First of all, it gives you access to a level of physical and emotional support that you wouldn’t get anywhere else.
Addiction is also more large and complex than a lot of people think. It’s a tangled web of physical and mental health issues, as well as the previous traumas often behind or contributing to the whole thing. That can be incredibly difficult for one person to untangle.
In addition, to support, on a practical level, you won’t find the same combination of therapy and counselling as well as physical treatments, in any other context. Through drug and alcohol rehab in Newark-on-Trent, depending on what suits your specific circumstances, you can go to support groups, CBT, art therapy, as well as detoxes.
There are of course many more treatments available than just the ones listed above – those are just a few examples of what you might encounter.
Now let’s talk about the end goal of rehab. We just discussed how complex addiction is as a disorder. That unfortunately also means that there isn’t really a cure for it. It’s a battle that you’ll need to keep fighting.
Via various services, we can arm you to carry on these battles, hopefully for a long time after your initial treatment has ended. More specifically, the idea is that you’ll learn how to manage your addiction through your experiences in rehab.
A Guide to Our Referral Services & The Stages of Rehab
Now that we’ve discussed the overall benefits of drug and alcohol rehab in Newark-on-Trent, let’s talk precisely about how we can help you.
As with everything else on this journey, things can often go differently depending on your exact needs and circumstances.
If and when you choose to get in touch with OK Rehab, we’ll start off with a simple conversation. If you’re not at a point where you’re looking for a treatment plan, we can just give you advice via our helpline. Even if you’re looking into all of this on behalf of someone else, this could be a useful resource for you too.
However, if you would like us to go further than that, we can of course help you with the actual treatment. More specifically, after an initial conversation with you, we’ll ask you to complete a formal assessment.
We pride ourselves in how personalised our treatment plans are. To make something that will suit you, there are a few key facts we need to know.
Some of the most significant are what you’re addicted to, how long you’ve been struggling with addiction/how long you’ve been using/drinking excessively overall, the current level of support that you have and your previous experience with treatment.
Then, we can move forward with the two next stages: detoxification and rehabilitation.

What Treatment Will be Available Through Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Newark-on-Trent?
The first stage of actual treatment is always some form of detox. This is because very important that your physical connection with drugs and/or alcohol is broken before you start any other treatment.
After long periods of abusing drink or drugs, you’ll likely start to develop a dependence. This happens because your body becomes reliant on the substances you’re using. This then means that if you attempt to suddenly stop, you’ll experience withdrawal symptoms.
As these are highly unpleasant at best, dangerous at worst and are nearly always a barrier to recovery, we try to avoid these symptoms as much as we can. Over a period of about 3 weeks (give or take because again it changes based on individual experiences), we’ll try to slowly reduce your intake, until your dependency is broken down.
From this point, we can then move on to the aforementioned combination of physical and mental health treatments that makes up the main part of rehab. As well as things like cognitive behavioural therapy and support groups, more minor physical treatments can also be significant at this point.
Examples within this category include massages, reflexology and acupuncture. These can all really help to raise your mood, which can make the whole process easier.
Then the final stage of the process is aftercare. This is where you’ll transition into your new, clean life, with continued help and support.
Tips for Making the Most of Your Time at Rehab
To finish off, we’ve gathered together a few more tips for you to make the most out of your rehab experience.
If you go for residential rehab, every place will have its own guide on what you can and can’t take in. This is definitely something you should research on your own, on a case-by-case basis. But generally, we’d advise that you pack:
- A notebook and pen
- Money for any vending machines
- Clean clothes and any toiletries you need
- Pictures of loved ones, if you have any
Speaking more generally, it’s also important that you go into this process with an open mind. Be open to all parts of the process and you’ll get the most out of it.
Finally, if you’re really worried about a lack of support, you could find a mentor to help you get through.
