Overcoming alcohol addiction means first ceasing alcohol intake, and taking care of physical and chemical withdrawal symptoms.

Detoxing from alcohol means undergoing withdrawal from alcohol, but with the assistance of prescribed medication and detox phase, to substitute in place of the alcohol itself.

Immediately following treatment, the early stages of recovery and abstinence are most vulnerable to lapses.

At Abbeycare, a structured and peer-reviewed aftercare plan is usually prepared whilst still in treatment. This comprises social, peer, and therapeutic resources individuals draw upon, following a residential treatment programme for drug or alcohol misuse.

Clinically managed residential detoxification is:
– A structured detox that uses medication-assisted treatment and regular physical health observations
– Takes place in an inpatient rehabilitation unit or hospital
– Typically lasts from 7-10 days, but in Abbeycare, it is incorporated into a 28-day rehab programme

Family Therapy at Abbeycare Scotland or Gloucester is realistic, compassionate, and appropriate for families and loved ones of addicts.

Family therapeutic interventions in residential rehabilitation have been designed to support those living with or caring for participants entering the Abbeycare Programme.

Support for families in a group setting allows for a safe, constructive, and confidential place to listen and share common experiences.

Group counselling therapies are methods of delivering effective treatment for those undergoing substance abuse treatment.

Therapy in groups is usually led by a facilitator who is trained in group dynamics and has sound knowledge of the subject matter being discussed.

We offer this at Abbeycare, among other treatment options, to assist residents on the path to long-term recovery from alcohol and drugs.

Individual Counselling is a form of talk therapy that occurs in a private, confidential manner away from distractions.

Inpatient rehab is drug and/ or alcohol treatment in a rehab centre, where patients remain on-site for the duration of inpatient rehabilitation.

It includes detoxification from drugs, therapy (group work and 1-2-1 sessions), and aftercare planning. Inpatient rehabs typically last 28 days, but this varies on an individual basis.
