Addiction ruins lives across the country, affecting individuals as well as the families and communities around them.
It’s a problem that will not go away unless the person in question accepts that they have a problem, and seeks professional help to deal with it.
When it comes to treating the problem of substance abuse and addiction, the most effective option is residential rehab.
We at OK Rehab provide referrals to private rehab clinics around the United Kingdom, ensuring that we get the clinic that is the best fit for you.
We also provide free advice on everything related to rehab, including how to arrange an intervention for someone you care about.

The difficulty of accepting help
One of the most common problems when it comes to getting addiction help is a person’s lingering denial about their drug or alcohol use.
Even though they may have been abusing drugs for some time, they may blame it on difficult life circumstances such as grief, heartbreak, or professional difficulties.
While these factors can certainly aggravate drug use, taking drugs or abusing alcohol does nothing to alleviate these kind of problems, besides providing an unhealthy short-term distraction.
If a person is ever going to get help, they need to admit that they have a problem.
Even if the person in question admits that they have a problem, they may not want to commit to the process of rehab due to other commitments, such as work or family.
While it is true that putting your life on hold for a month is not easy, for some people it is a necessary sacrifice to make in order to recover.
It is so important to put your health first, for the sake of your future.
Here at OK Rehab, we can provide advice on how to come to terms with your own drug problem, or how to intervene in someone else’s in a healthy and constructive manner.

How rehabs differ from one another
There is a huge amount of choice when it comes to arranging a placement at a private rehab clinic.
This is where we come in handy – helping you to make sense of the endless options and find the best fit for you.
There are many different kinds of rehab clinics – for example, there are men-only and women-only clinics, which many clients find to be preferable for a number of different reasons.
There are also clinics that specialise in enabling opiate withdrawal through Subutex, and specialist alcohol clinics which provide a ‘wet’ detox option.
In other words, this means reducing alcohol intake over a number of days before stopping altogether.
Aside from specialist clinics like this, there are some more subtle differences in the types of treatments that are emphasised in a given rehab.
This is why it’s so valuable to have the industry expertise of OK Rehab on your side, and to help you to make the right choice for your treatment.
Detox and treatment
The first thing on your list when you arrive at your rehab clinic will be to get through detox.
At rehab, you can do this in a safe environment, under the watch of medical professionals.
They will be able to help you through any physical or psychological discomfort that you are feeling, whether you are withdrawing from alcohol, cannabis, or heroin.
The potential withdrawals symptoms that you may experience will vary depending on what drugs you have used, and the severity of your substance abuse.
Detox is a complex, delicate process that should be handled by the professionals. With that in mind, please do not attempt to detox by yourself before you arrive.
This is highly dangerous for anyone and can even be fatal in some cases.
Call us free on 0800 326 5559 to speak to an advisor, or read through the information below to find out more about what we do.
Once you have completed detox, you will be able to embrace your personal therapy plan, which will take place over the remaining weeks of rehab.
This will involve a combination of solo therapies, such as counselling, CBT, and psychotherapy, as well as group therapy sessions and educational classes.
You will be looked after by a team of specialist mental health professionals, who will be able to provide dual diagnoses and prescribe medications where appropriate.
Mental health issues are such a big part of addiction for most people, and it is important to explore and address these issues to ensure that they don’t drive you to using again in the future.
Rehab gives you the chance to do exactly that, with the help of professionals who specialise in addiction treatment.
Is it possible to attend rehab as an outpatient?
Yes, but this is only recommended in a small minority of cases.
Outpatient care is usually only suitable for a patient whose drug abuse has been towards the milder end of the spectrum.
Other such requirements are that the patient lives close to the clinic, and does not have an unhealthy homelife – for example, living with an abusive partner or having tension with neighbours.
All of these are stress factors which could interfere with someone’s recovery.
For most people, it is more suitable to attend rehab as a resident, getting the treatment and care that you need in a dedicated secure environment, away from any potential stress factors of your everyday life.
Although you can lessen the cost of treatment by attending as an outpatient, you should be mindful of how it could potentially jeopardise your recovery chances.
This is something that we can discuss in your consultation over the phone.
