    What Options Do I Have For Drug & Alcohol Rehab Clinics & Detox Treatment in Cambridgeshire?

    There are many addiction rehab treatment options available in the Cambridgeshire area including:

    Outpatient rehab treatment programmes require the patient to attend an alcohol and drug rehab clinic during the day.

    Usually, after rehab treatment at a residential facility has ended, your drug and alcohol rehabilitation clinic will offer outpatient treatment services in the form of weekly therapy sessions as part of an ongoing aftercare plan.

    If your alcohol or drug addiction is classed as not severe or life-threatening, outpatient rehab treatment services may be offered to you from the start.

    Inpatient rehab treatment means you will live in a residential clinic, for what is usually a stay of 28 days though this could be shorter or longer depending on your specific rehab treatment plan.

    This is usually thought of as the most effective form of rehab treatment and has the highest rates of successful recovery in Cambridgeshire.

    Choosing to attend a residential alcohol and drug rehab centre means you can leave behind distractions and triggers that may be found at home and allow yourself to recover in a luxurious alcohol and drug rehab clinic with around-the-clock care from trained addiction professionals.

    Other forms of alcohol and drug rehab treatment include home detox programmes.

    This type of recovery programme may be offered to you if you cannot commit to the full-time regime of rehab.

    If your alcohol or drug addiction is severe, this type of rehab treatment will not be effective, and we advise you to enter a residential rehab centre or a dedicated detox clinic to ensure you can recover safely and effectively.

    A home-based recovery programme is often offered to those suffering from mild addictions and can be used in conjunction with outpatient rehab treatment services, meaning the patient can attend therapy and counselling to make the rehab treatment as beneficial as possible without having to attend an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility full-time.

    Notably, a home detox is not the same as a self-detox, which is where someone attempts to stop their use without any help whatsoever (i.e. without staying at a rehab clinic).

    This can be an extremely dangerous process and is something that should never be attempted unaided, particularly in the case of severe addiction.

    We also offer home detox options in Cambridgeshire, but you will receive medication and assistance to make sure the process is as safe as undergoing the same treatment at a residential rehab clinic.

    Should I Attend Drug & Alcohol Rehab for Addiction Treatment in Cambridgeshire?

    a woman in a therapy session sitting on a sofa at an alcohol & drug rehab clinic in Cambridgeshire

    Attending an alcohol and drug rehab centre can be life-changing in the best way for both your body and mind.

    At OK Rehab we know it can be incredibly difficult to acknowledge that you have a problem. Admitting that you do can be considered the first step toward life-long recovery.

    If you feel like you are ready to seek help for your addiction there is no better time to seek help than today.

    With alcohol and drug addiction, seeking professional help via rehab clinics and accessible addiction rehab treatment options is arguably the only safe way to get better. Whilst the NHS offers free rehab treatment services for addiction, they are often very limited and result in long waiting lists.

    Addiction needs to be dealt with immediately, which is why many choose to opt for private rehab treatment in Cambridgeshire.

    Once you can accept that you have a problem the next step is how you decide to get sober and abstain healthily. Take a look at the criteria below to consider if it is time to get help for your alcohol or drug addiction via rehab.

    • Do you feel a lack of control?
    • Have you tried to quit but failed?
    • Do you experience cravings if you stop taking drugs or alcohol?
    • Have your personal relationships suffered as a result of your substance use?
    • Have you suffered from a loss of interest in things you once enjoyed?
    • Have you felt drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms physically and mentally?

    If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, we advise you to immediately get in touch with us to discuss admission into a residential rehab facility in Cambridgeshire.

    How Much Does Private Drug & Alcohol Rehab Cost In Cambridgeshire?

    Money

    On average, the cost to receive inpatient rehab treatment at an alcohol and drug rehab centre in Cambridgeshire is around £500 per day, which for a one-month stay would cost up to £14,000.

    The rehab treatment could be more or less depending on the specific rehab centre the client would select, the resources and services they require, and whether they stay in a single or multi-occupancy room.

    The cost can range from £1,000 a week at the lower end of the scale, to £10,000 per week at the higher end of the scale.

    There may also be different payment options available to spread the cost over a longer period.

    Anyone requiring alcohol or drug detoxification treatment may be required to pay £1,500 to £2,000 for this procedure, and there is potentially the opportunity to receive this through outpatient rehab treatment services, which is generally cheaper than residential rehab.

    How Do These Interventions Promote Change Encourage Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Cambridgeshire?

    Intervention is about understanding how much a person wants to change, and then arranging suitable rehab treatment.

    It’s a good place to start and an effective first step on the addiction recovery journey.

    Is Drug & Alcohol Rehab Covered By Health Insurance in Cambridgeshire?

    An insurance policy document

    There are health insurance policies out there offered by many main healthcare providers such as BUPA and Aviva that cover treatment for alcohol and drug rehab in Cambridgeshire.

    The majority of these policies should cover the essential, basic rehab treatments for a range of alcohol and drug addictions such as medical detox treatment, 1-1 therapy and a stay at a residential rehab location.

    These are considered vital areas of treatment and although many other services and resources could also help improve clients’ mental health, such as recreational activities and masseurs,

    It is likely that these will be viewed by health insurance providers as non-essential or luxury services and will therefore not be covered on their policies.

    It is good practice to contact an agent from your health insurance provider to find out the specific terms of any policy that you intend to take out so that it is clear which rehab treatments are covered by the policy and which are not.

    NHS Or Private Alcohol & Drug Rehab In Cambridgeshire –  Which Is Better?

    Two men comforting another man in a group therapy session at drug and alcohol rehab clinic in Cambridgeshire

    The NHS prides itself on the notion that it offers free rehab treatment for people in need of help for various physical and psychiatric disorders, and this certainly applies to clients diagnosed with SUD.

    However just like many other NHS rehab treatments, there are likely to be delays in clients being able to begin treatment, and clients will be placed on a waiting list, as there have been funding cuts to many alcohol and drug addiction services over recent years.

    Because of these cuts and long waiting lists, it is more likely that the majority of people who apply for NHS-funded treatment will be allocated funding for outpatient treatment rather than for treatment in a specialist residential rehab setting.

    Funding clients for outpatient rehab treatment services is more cost-effective as it means more people in need of treatment will receive the rehab treatments they require to help the, recover.

    There may not be many cases of NHS funding inpatient rehab treatment in Cambridgeshire, although they may award some clients with partial funding to cover a proportion of their treatment costs.

    Anyone seeking to apply for NHS funding should contact their GP to discuss their addiction rehab treatment options, build good relationships with any healthcare and mental health professionals, and show a commitment to their recovery process and document all the evidence they have which reinforces that commitment (e.g. attending therapy sessions).

    Clients who can pay for their rehab treatment will be able to access a greater range of treatment services at an alcohol and drug rehab centre in Cambridgeshire to boost their chances of a positive recovery process and make their stay more comfortable.

    For example, this could include a higher-quality menu, larger, private rooms and access to leisure facilities.

    They will also be able to have more intense rehab treatment and regular individual therapy sessions.

    Privately funded clients can also begin their rehab treatment programmes immediately as they do not need to wait for their funding to be approved.

    How Long Does Alcohol & Drug Rehab Last in Cambridgeshire?

    A group of people celebrating with a sunset in the background in Cambridgeshire

    As a general rule, most clients attend a residential rehab centre for 28 days.

    This is regarded as the amount of time that is required to allow clients to process all the information and engage in all the therapeutic exercises necessary to elicit a positive psychological transformation.

    Cambridgeshire clients who have a greater budget may extend their stay by 2 weeks or longer, and those clients who require detoxification treatment for opioid or alcohol dependency may also need to stay for 2-3 weeks extra, taking the duration of their stay to approximately 6 weeks at rehab.

    Alcohol Detox & Rehab In Cambridgeshire

    effects of alcohol

    One can access excellent alcohol addiction treatment services in Cambridgeshire that provide both alcohol detox and psychosocial rehab treatments for alcohol dependency.

    Alcohol is a very potent substance that does have a significant effect on the biology of our brains and central nervous system.

    Over time the body and brain do adapt to its presence, building up a tolerance and subsequently requiring more alcohol for the same effects.

    If a person suddenly stops taking alcohol, the whole body responds erratically and alcohol withdrawal symptoms appear.

    These can include:

    • Low mood
    • Anxiety
    • Irritability
    • Feeling sick
    • Insomnia
    • Seizures
    • Tremors

    A commonly used substitute drug to assist alcohol withdrawal is Librium, which contains chemicals with anti-convulsant properties that will prevent any seizures from arising whilst the level of alcohol in their body is being reduced.

    As soon as the patient is on a steady physical foundation, they can start the psychosocial elements of their rehab treatment programme.

    What Treatment Services And Types Of Therapies Are Available At Durg & Alcohol Rehab Cambridgeshire?

    AA group session in Cambridgeshire

    The alcohol and drug rehab centres we work with in Cambridgeshire offer a range of psychological addiction therapies in their treatment programmes, delivered by qualified and experienced addiction professionals.

    Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) at Rehab

    CBT is an excellent therapy for changing clients’ negative thought patterns, irrational beliefs and the way they view themselves.

    Thoughts have a strong influence in determining our emotional state and subsequent behaviour, and developing negative thought patterns can severely limit a person’s capabilities

    CBT, therefore, is a key therapy in helping people feel better about themselves. CBT can also change people’s attitudes towards drugs and alcohol which can help them to give up substances.

    Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) at Rehab

    DBT can play a key role in helping clients develop the necessary cognitive and emotional skills to aid their recovery process.

    By working with a DBT therapist, clients will be able to understand the nature of their emotions and learn to develop strategies to deal with challenging emotions.

    Whereas previously they may have chosen substance use to handle these difficult feelings, clients will now be able to use their newly found cognitive skills to tolerate these emotions.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) at Rehab

    ACT in Cambridgeshire is borne out of CBT and is a therapeutic technique that uses aspects of mindfulness and acceptance principles to provide clients with a greater range of psychological flexibility at their disposal when responding to various situations.

    The main goal of ACT is to reduce the influence that the verbal process has on human cognition, which tends to lead to avoidant behaviour and to respond more authentically in a way that is aligned with a person’s true values.

    Brief Intervention Therapy at Rehab

    Brief intervention therapy aims to provide clients with key information about an aspect of their substance use and to use this information to engage them in a dialogue that will hopefully lead to a change in their behaviour.

    Even though these are brief sessions they can be very powerful if the therapist can present the information in a way that strikes a chord with the client.

    If they can just engage in conversation with the client, then the behaviour change process is underway as research has shown that verbalising thoughts and feelings can be a prelude to behaviour change.

    Motivational Interviewing (MI) at Rehab

    MI is in essence a behaviour change approach used in Cambridgeshire that aims to help clients work through any ambivalence they may be feeling during any stage of their treatment.

    The role of the therapist in such situations is to build a strong therapeutic connection with the client by showing empathy and support and to facilitate a dialogue to try and get uncover the reasons for the client’s resistance.

    By verbalising their concerns, the client will come to understand the reasons for their resistance and work through them in the sessions with the therapist.

    Group Therapy at Rehab

    Group therapy is a core element of any drug and alcohol addiction treatment programme, this is down to the fact that the AA believe that the principle of fellowship plays a key role in the addiction recovery process.

    Group therapy sessions are, unlike AA meetings, facilitated by professional therapists who will be able to guide the interactions to ensure that all individuals work on their own personal challenges and that the group as a whole grows to such an extent that everyone in the group feels valued and feels a sense of belonging.

    Group therapy provides people with an opportunity to gain valuable feedback on their processes and learn key social skills such as empathy and an appreciation of the viewpoints of others.

    Individual Therapy at Rehab

    Every client entering an alcohol and drug rehab centre will receive a programme of individual therapy.

    Our rehab centres throughout Cambridgeshire offer many forms of therapy on their treatment programmes such as:

    The form of counselling each client is offered depends on the recommendations of the practitioner who carried out the client’s comprehensive assessment which investigated a client’s circumstances and life experiences.

    Whichever therapy they receive will enable them to process difficult experiences in their life and help them find the courage to move forward.

    Family Therapy at Rehab

    This form of therapy which is used in Cambridgeshire rehabs advocates a systemic approach to understanding addiction, and in this case, the system is the family.

    If any person has developed a psychological disorder this will affect other people in the family at an unconscious level, or it could be that the family dynamics themselves contributed to the development of a SUD in one of its members.

    Engaging in family therapy will enable family members to understand the dynamics and relationships among its members and to correct any dysfunctional relationship patterns which will promote better communication.

    Co-Dependency Treatment at Rehab

    People who have been assessed as being co-dependent would benefit from psychological therapy that will help them understand their own needs and then subsequently work out how they can get these needs met without becoming too preoccupied with the needs of others.

    This therapy used in Cambridgeshire treatment centres is a common characteristic of co-dependency.

    Co-dependent people tend to possess low self-esteem and find it hard to retain a balanced emotional state during their interactions with others.

    Co-dependent clients will also benefit from cognitive-based addiction therapies to help them to become more assertive, and transactional analysis to help them improve their relationships with other people.

    Twelve-Step Facilitation Therapy (TSF) at Rehab

    The 12-step programme used by many drug and alcohol rehab services was borne out of Alcoholics Anonymous’ 12-step philosophy, which has been seen to be one of the most significant contributors to a successful treatment outcome.

    The 12 steps require clients to contemplate their life, relationships, philosophical beliefs and character flaws which will enable them to gain insight into the reasons for their addiction.

    The 12 steps can take time to work through and in many cases, people may well be working on these for several years. Many of the reflective exercises and group sessions encountered at an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility will be geared towards 12-step work.

    Holistic Therapies At Alcohol & Drug Rehab In Cambridgeshire

    There are an array of holistic therapies in Cambridgeshire that clients will be able to access. These provide an alternative therapeutical perspective to the more commonly used talk-based addiction therapies that have traditionally featured heavily during treatment at an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

    Art Therapy at Rehab

    Art therapy allows clients in Cambridgeshire to express unresolved emotions by channelling their unconscious thoughts into a visual form.

    Research has indicated that art therapy helps clients process early traumatic experiences in their, lives as the parts of the brain a person engages with during the creative activities designed by the therapist can slowly begin to rebalance the areas of the brain that have been affected by trauma.

    Art therapy has been seen to work well with many of the challenges faced by clients diagnosed with SUD.

    Music Therapy at Rehab

    Music Therapists help clients process repressed emotions, helping them to improve their mental functioning and reduce their stress levels by devising a range of exercises for them to work through.

    These exercises are related to musical concepts such as rhythm, tonality and melody.

    Equine Therapy at Rehab

    Clients receiving equine therapy in Cambridgeshire can learn about their communication style through interacting with a horse, the therapist will guide your interaction and be able to assess your interaction style by the way the horse reacts to you.

    Equine therapy has helped people improve their relationships, control stress and anger, and develop empathy for others.

    Adventure Therapy at Rehab

    While this form of therapy may not be considered an essential treatment and is unlikely to be recommended for every individual, particularly those seeking treatment through NHS funding, it still offers many benefits for those who engage in this activity.

    It is widely accepted that spending time in natural surroundings is very advantageous for our mental health, and it is this principle that is at the heart of adventure therapy.

    Also, by taking part in a range of activities with others in these natural environments, participants can develop their practical and teamwork skills.

    How Rehabs Help With Relapse Prevention in Cambridgeshire

    A lady in therapy

    All clients attending residential rehab will only be there for 4-6 weeks, and part of each client’s treatment plan will involve arming them with the cognitive skills they will need to implement when they return to back to their lives.

    Any person diagnosed with SUD may be vulnerable to relapsing back into substance use if they encounter high-risk situations that may trigger their drug/alcohol use.

    This could be hanging around with a certain group of friends, a specific location or a social event where alcohol features prominently.

    Addiction rehab clinics offer relapse prevention workshops where clients will be required to identify the high-risk factors that may make them susceptible to relapse.

    The therapists working with clients at an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility will collaborate with them to draw up specific strategies that they can employ when they encounter such high-risk situations.

    For more information about how Cambridgeshire rehabs can help you with relapse prevention, call our team on 0800 326 5559

    Aftercare And Addiction Support Groups After Rehab in Cambridgeshire

    A woman smiling in a group therapy session

    Many rehabs offer aftercare services to provide them with ongoing sources of support after they have left rehab.

    These services will include 1-1 coaching and counselling sessions, refresher workshops to strengthen their relapse prevention and cravings resistance skills.

    For those who have received NHS funding or have limited finances, the following sources of support are available.

    12-Step Support Groups (after or before rehab)

    Anyone leaving rehab must continue attending support groups where they can maintain contact and support from members of their fellowship and continue their 12-step progress with assistance from their fellow attendees.

    It’s important for people who have left rehab to maintain strong bonds and retain the psychological support that can play a key role in their quest for abstinence.

    Alcoholics Anonymous in Cambridgeshire, Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous and Marijuana Anonymous all offer this superb level of support.

    Al-Anon Family Group meetings

    There are also support group meetings for family members of substance users to attend so they can access support, advice and guidance from people who have been through similar experiences. These can be invaluable as they seek to provide support for their loved one who is vulnerable to relapse after leaving rehab.

    SMART Recovery (after or before rehab)

    There is a charity called SMART Recovery which offers online support sessions to provide people with the cognitive skills necessary to enhance their psychological resilience and increase their ability to deal with emotions and cravings.

    The SMART Recovery process adopts a strong personal development ethos and can facilitate all of its clients’ self-development via its unique programme of exercises and activities.

    Outpatient rehab treatment via a local Drug & Alcohol team in Cambridgeshire

    There will also be local services in Cambridgeshire that will provide psychological interventions, emotional support and education programmes that people who have left rehab can turn to if they wish to remain in contact with professional substance misuse relapse services.

    These services could be NHS, local council services or charities that offer continued sources of support for anyone who has experienced addiction.

    These organisations are aware of many drug and alcohol-related services that they can signpost people to whichever treatment service will meet their needs.
