Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Carshalton
Alcohol is the most used and abused drug in the UK. Due to its legality, social acceptance, and wide availability it isn’t surprising that alcohol addiction is common.
However, out of over 500,000 people who depend on alcohol only a fifth are seeking help.
OK Rehab aim to reduce this number by offering rehabilitation services to those who need it most.
We treat more than just the physical addiction but also the psychological side to get you on the way to a healthier lifestyle.
Not matter the severity, substance or length of your addiction, treatment options are available to treat all.
From alcohol detox, to talking therapies, to extensive aftercare plans to keep you in check once you’ve completed your drug & alcohol rehab in Carshalton.
Our helpline is open around the clock to refer you to the most suitable drug & alcohol rehab in Carshalton.
The OK Rehab team is made up of people in long-term recovery themselves, so we know exactly how it feels to reach out in your time of need.
Importance of detox
Oftentimes people suffering with drug or alcohol addictions may see going ‘cold turkey’ as a way out. However, going it alone can often lead to relapse sooner than you think.
Without being in a controlled environment, away from the substance of choice and triggers that enable your dependency, it can be easier to slip into old habits.
That’s why OK Rehab in will always recommend a residential stay at a drug & alcohol rehab in Carshalton.
The benefits of choosing residential rehabilitation are around the clock on-hand care from highly trained professionals who know and understand the withdrawal process.
You’ll be removed from your usual environment meaning you’ll have a safe and secure place to experience this process and we can also prescribe medications to ease the most severe withdrawal symptoms.
Detoxification is the removal of a toxic substance from your body, but this is not the end of rehabilitation.
Addiction is a double-sided disease which means the psychological attachment to the substance must also be treated.
We’re here to get you on the right track, at the right time with the right help at rehab in Carshalton.

Regaining control through addiction therapies
Living with an addiction can be debilitating. Losing control of your mind, body and responsibilities means you must relearn thought processes and gain new skills to avoid triggers.
It’s important to note the power of human connection when it comes to treating addiction.
No one should feel alone in their suffering, and that’s why OK Rehab has a variety of talking therapies to help you reach a better state of mind.
Reaching the root of the problem, what lead you there and what perpetuates the addiction can be a freeing feeling during your recovery therapy.
Understanding yourself and the addiction that controls you means you’ll learn new ways to think and process cravings.
Counselling is one of these treatments and has shown time after time to effectively treat addiction.
Reflecting, articulating, and processing your feelings in a safe space with non-judgmental professionals means you can reach a higher understanding of the problem at hand.
This can be in an individual or group setting as well as alternative types of counselling such as art and music therapy. Both of which can be more useful to those who find talking about themselves difficult.
The role of your counsellor is to support you, by providing a safe space for listening, creating an empathic relationship with trust and by suggesting healthy copy strategies.
Practical help is invaluable when it comes to living life outside of the counselling sessions and is essential to relapse prevention.
By enabling you to understand how your addiction has come to be, you should feel able to explore your feelings through discussion and come to revelations that will help you make healthier decisions moving forward.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has also been shown to create a better understanding of the problem and ways to prevent it in the future.
CBT looks at the ways in which thought processes affect behaviour and how we can change these patterns to gain more control over our actions.
We’re here to get you on the right track, at the right time with the right help at rehab in Carshalton.

Aftercare plans to keep you going
Rehabilitation has never been a one-stop-fix-all solution for addiction recovery but more so the beginning of a lifelong journey.
The skills you’ll gain through therapy, paired with a detoxed body will give you strength to pursue a life of sobriety. But help doesn’t stop there.
OK Rehab recommends creating an aftercare plan that can help you maintain your substance recovery, reduce cravings, prevent relapse, and afford you a more enjoyable life.
By periodically ‘checking in’ with yourself and the team at a drug & alcohol rehab in Carshalton you’ll have a better understanding of your recovery journey.
Having the extra support post-rehabilitation means you can get extra care when you’re worried if your slipping, and the motivation to keep going.
Aftercare comes in variety of ways. With ongoing counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy or holistic therapy treatments such as acupuncture, reflexology, mindfulness practices and meditations, there is a wide range of ways to keep your recovery going.
Group support sessions have also shown to be integral to a long-term recovery.
By listening and understanding the trials of others as well as sharing your own, a deeper connection can be built within the group leading to a stronger support network.
Attending Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) can help you form these connections in a safe and non-judgemental environment where you can share your struggles with people who know exactly what it feels like to go through what you’re going through.
These types of support groups can also be found online.
Support groups can also give you a sense of structure when returning to a new and healthier lifestyle.
Having somewhere to be at a specific time or day means you’ll have continued support week in, week out.
