If you’re new to drug and alcohol rehab, you might have a lot of questions about the process.
Having a clear understanding of addiction recovery is important before you get started.
Where can I find drug and alcohol rehab in Battersea?

Inpatient vs Outpatient
The two main categories of addiction treatment are inpatient and outpatient rehab. Inpatient is completed at a residential centre and is the most commonly recommended of the two.
It’s designed for those with moderate to severe dependencies and is generally more intensive than outpatient treatment, due to the environment it all happens in. People in inpatient rehab are surrounded by their treatment to a much greater extent than people being treated at home.
It also generally works well for people who need to get away from toxic home environments. Overall, it’s a good opportunity to reset and break out of toxic habits and routines.
Outpatient treatment on the other hand, involves regular visits to a centre and is generally suited to those with less severe issues.
How to prepare yourself for drug and alcohol rehab in Battersea
One of the best ways you can prepare yourself for rehab is doing your own, individualised research.
We emphasise the importance of individualisation in the treatment process. This is because addiction can change so much from person to person.
Different substances are addictive at different levels and affect people in vastly different ways.
Different traumas and experiences will also likely be behind the addiction and will therefore need different treatment too. Finally different people may have different levels of support at home.
From all of this, you can see that different rehab journeys could look vastly different from case to case. If you’re trying to get a good idea of how your journey could play out, looking at it on a generic level probably won’t help.
You should try and look at the treatments that work best for your specific addiction. If you can, you should do the same thing for any mental health issues that might have either caused or been caused by your addiction.
It’s also important that you prepare yourself mentally for drug and alcohol rehab in Battersea.
Think about why you want to reach out for help. Consider your goals. This will help to keep you motivated going forward.
The three stages of rehab
Rehab occurs in three stages: detoxification, rehabilitation and aftercare.
In the first stage, your physical connection to drugs and/or alcohol will be broken down and hopefully withdrawal symptoms will be avoided. We’ll slowly reduce your intake until your dependence is gone, allowing you to move forward with the rest of your treatment.
The second part is rehabilitation. At this point, you’ll encounter various mental and physical health treatments, whether you’re doing it at home or in a residential space.
At OK Rehab, we offer free advice from a team of non-judgemental professionals, many of whom are in recovery and understand how hard it can be to change your relationship with addiction.
