Hundreds near Heath end up opting for the wrong alcohol or drug rehab treatment that doesn't meet their needs. But with the right insights, it *is* possible to find the right clinic.

Below, we lay out 19 critical Q&A insights into:

  • Pricing - how to get the best pricing options, for your needs, including one rarely advertised option.
  • Rehab Treatment .v. AA - Discover which is right for you.
  • Warning Signs - Some critical warning signs that a rehabilitation clinic won't be the right fit.

This is the primary guidebook for finding drug or alcohol rehab help near Heath.

We'll start with:

Rehab Won't Help. Change My Mind.

Provided that you do not expect everything to be done for you, treatment in a residential rehab should be beneficial for you.

Rehab is the most structured approach available, to the initial primary care needs for drug/alcohol addiction detox and therapy, at the point of crisis. But, you should know that you also need to play an active part in this.

Reclaiming responsibility for yourself is necessary to recovery, as it is likely that lack of this is what forms the basis of addiction in the first place.

You should know from the start that rehab centres in Heath are not some kind of magic cure-all which will take away all addictive impulses.

It has taken a long time to develop the complexities of drug or alcohol addiction in your life, and it will take time and awareness for them to be resolved.

All of this requires patience, dedication, and active involvement.

The first step on this path is residential rehab.

 

What Happens In Addiction Rehab Heath?

Usually, private rehab is a 3-stage overall phase of initial detox, clinical assistance for underlying psychological addiction disorders, followed by aftercare, which includes future help and services.

During the initial week in drug or alcohol rehab, you should expect…

KEY TAKEAWAY

In the first week you’ll be resting more than is usual during the physical detox process, as well as getting used to your medication.

Everyone is different, so the length of the detox initially will vary depending on the depth of dependency, how recent the dependency has taken hold, and amount of usage.

 

What should you expect after the first week of drug/alcohol rehab?

The clinical team will guide you to begin therapy sessions, when your detox has been completed. You may find yourself in individual counselling sessions or in group Behavioural Therapy, which seeks to help you understand the reasons for your addiction.

Residential programs in Heath and Cardiff are multi-faceted in general, and will see you taking part in mutual aid meetings, physical routines, sharing your experiences with others and undergoing physical exercise, and and transition towards regaining some structure and order in your routine.

Most Heath addiction clinics have an agenda of daily activities, distributed the night before, detailing the events of the next day, and where you should be, and when.

This is what you should expect to experience during the final 7 days of rehab ...

In the last 7 days, if not earlier, if your provider includes it, you should be planning out measures for relapse prevention, and aftercare supports.

Such measures will assist you in your transition towards living a normal life outside the clinic and at this stage you are able to look ahead to plan for the support you may need to prevent succumbing to the addictive triggers which may cause relapse.

 

Who Is Rehab For?

People who are serious about their long term recovery will benefit from inpatient clinic treatment.

This generally means that they have been round many times in the circle of alcohol or drug abuse, seen and borne the harmful effects, and know that there must be another way-but need support to do this.

The people who will get the most out of a rehab centre will be willing to commit to the work involved but will need help to do so in a structured way, beginning with detox and following on with the proper therapy.

Only those who take responsibility for their own lives will gain from a full rehab programme, and the great benefits which follow.

 

Is There Anything That No Longer Works In Terms Of Rehab Treatment?

- DIY recovery attempts. The delusion that trying to get your life back on track without outside professional help might work, even though you know that help is available.

- Any approaches which do not take a holistic view of what is required and only go down one narrow route. The majority of rehab clinics favour a broader approach which takes into account all routes to recovery and don’t insist that religious adherence is required.

- An approach which is doomed to failure at worst will be one which depersonalises individuals as unique.

The core of a successful alcohol or drug treatment programme will treat the client as an individual and part of a community of people who have similar issues and share a common goal in making a full recovery.

How Do I Set Myself Up For Success In Addiction Treatment?

  • Come to peace with the idea that the events and patterns in your life are telling you that what you are doing now isn't working. Thus, significant change is needed.
  • You need to acknowledge to yourself that you do not personally know how to succeed in this alone (or you’d be home and dry by now).
  • Accept and acknowledge that you need the help of others who have already succeeded where you have failed.
  • Make sure that you understand that good communication is crucial with the professionals who are there to help you at all stage in your rehab.

 

How Should You Plan For Your Stay In A  Heath Rehab Clinic?

Any good addiction clinic will confirm the booking and send you a list of the things that you should bring with you.

Ask the admissions team you're dealing with for this, if they do not provide it.

 

What 3 Main Areas Of Life Should I Expect Changes In, After Addiction Rehab?

If the underlying work is done, substantial changes could be achieved:

- As long as you’ve accepted what the substance is doing for you, you’ll find that it’s easier to fulfil your need for this in healthier ways, and you should plan for this accordingly.

- By dealing with all of these things, in turn, you should find that you emotional life, the way that you behave and interact with other people will be brighter and more positive, and without the need for your addictive behaviour.

- When these changes in your behaviour take place you’ll find that there’s ample room for other things to improve also, such as improvements in family life, your work, etc.

What Are 3 Things New Rehab Clients Do Wrong When Going Into Treatment For Alcohol Or Drugs For The First Time?

(i) Fear at the prospect of taking the coping mechanism away, and entering withdrawal, during the first phase of rehab.

(ii) Overconfidence following a few therapeutic gains made, early in the process. Believing that one or two individual insights is equal to lasting recovery.

(iii) Not fully accounting for all potential trigger situations that could occur after treatment completes, resulting in under preparedness, and a higher than normal risk of relapse, following treatment, without the right support.

 

What If Rehab Heath Doesn't Work?

A few specifics often lie underneath potential relapses after completing rehab:

(i) You did not make use of the support provided post-rehab.

(ii) A trigger event happened in the external world, that you didn't work on yet, during treatment.

 

quotation mark

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You’ll be able to prepare for such situations by:

(i) Whilst still in treatment, actively engaging in aftercare planning, and actively following through on the supports given, to make sure you stay on track in sobriety.

(ii) Staying connected to all the aftercare support offered to you, which will help when dealing with trigger events. 

Those who relapse, tend to have missed out any one of the above safeguards.

I Don't Have Any Support Or Family Members: Is Recovery Possible?

Of the millions in recovery globally, everyone has a different level of alcohol/drug dependency and amount of support available in their lives, when they enter treatment.

Even those people without a robust support network manage to recover from their drug or alcohol addiction, so it's possible for you too.

  • In such cases you'll need to find other means of support which replicate the help that people with supportive family members have.
  • You need to find out which elements of the family support network would have provided recovery most effectively, and then find other ways of replicating this.
  • As with a lot of things, the knack to this is finding what works for you, as an individual.

 

I’m Hoping Rehab Is Different?...Because Alcoholics Anonymous Didn’t Work For Me.

Even if you've already tried AA, here's how rehab is different...

Alcoholics Anonymous is not the same as rehab, even though AA is good to have access to.

Many have used only AA Heath in their recovery over the years, and achieved very long-term success.

People have said that just using AA meant that there was something missing in their recovery - something personal to the individual.

In hindsight, it may be that the AA meetings, which lack the one-to-one aspect of rehab, failed to fully address the psychological triggers of alcohol addiction.

 

Rehab Treatment versus Mutual Aid
Rehab
  • Supervised detox
  • Personalised therapy
  • Live in the clinic full-time
  • Financial outlay required
Mutual Aid
  • Usually no charge
  • Ongoing help
  • Non-residential
  • No professional supervision or detox
Key Takeaway:

Rehab and mutual aid meetings can *both* be beneficial, and are *not* mutually exclusive. They can be especially useful when applied at different times in each individual's recovery journey.

 

AA meetings are often taken up by people after they’ve successfully completed their residential rehab programmes.

A good recovery can be produced by both rehab and AA, each together, or at different times, depending on circumstances.

 

Isn’t It Sufficient Just To Attend AA?

Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are a wonderful resource in recovery and a source of inspiration, hope and the power of the community.

But medical detoxes are not the province of Alcoholics Anonymous, and it is not their role to provide in-depth clinical therapy which addresses the causes of your addiction.

 

For this you need to turn to rehab in its residential form, including a full detox, after which you can enjoy the full benefits of what Alcoholics Anonymous Heath has to offer in terms of group support.

I Want To Stop Using Alcohol Or Drugs Without Professional Help

This is specifically advised against, due to risks involved.

Attempting withdrawal without qualified medical supervision can be extremely dangerous and should not be undertaken.

Dangerous medical risks include heart attack and the dangers which are always associated with seizures and fits.

**You should NEVER consider putting yourself through detox or cold-turkey alone**.

 

I’m Not Sure I Can Afford Treatment

If a complete treatment programme is a financial challenge right now, there are other options.

Many clinics offer a detox-only programme, although this is not usually widely advertised.

This isn’t for financial reasons alone, but because shorter programmes are often associated with less successful outcomes, in the longer term.

 

Standard residential rehab usually takes 28 days in full. But here is what to consider if money is short at the moment.

Ask about short term detox **only** if you have adequate plans for support upon completion.

...for example, a well-chosen and properly structured support plan including longer term help and therapy.

Experience has shown that there is a risk of not being able to enjoy a full recovery if you don’t make plans for the support required after the short-term detox has completed.

 

Do Rehab Clinics Provide A Refund Policy?

Please ask the clinic prior to beginning your residential programme; each clinic has its own policy.

In general terms, most clinics do not refund fees if you relapse because the onus of responsibility lies with the client.

 

What Are The Steps To Sign Up For Rehab?

  • Upon receipt of your deposit, and having gone through a telephone assessment, your residential treatment programme should begin at your clinic within one or two days.
