Hundreds near Tongwynlais 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.
  • Mistakes To Avoid - Steer clear of these errors which can vastly reduce success rates in alcohol/drug recovery.

This is the ultimate consumer guide for finding addiction treatment in Tongwynlais.

Let's get started.

Will Rehab Actually Help?

You can certainly expect a drug or alcohol addiction clinic programme to be productive, *as long as* you play an active role.

In fact, alcohol or drug addiction treatment in a clinic continues to be the best structured approach to tackling addiction at the point when it is needed most. But, rehabilitation will not work in a vacuum, or without your cooperation.

 

You will need to take responsibility for your own life, as a lack of this is a keynote feature of substance addiction.

Inpatient rehabilitation in Tongwynlais cannot be considered a permanent "cure", which will automatically resolve all addiction issues in your life.

The dynamics of addiction have taken a long time to establish, and it will take time and understanding for them to be overcome.

All this requires patience, persistence, and constructive engagement.

The first step on this path is residential rehab.

 

What Happens In Addiction Rehab Tongwynlais?

Private rehab is typically a 3-stage overall process, of initial detox, therapeutic help with underlying psychological issues of addiction, followed by aftercare planning, which provides support and resources for the future.

Over the first seven days in alcohol/drug rehab you should expect the following…

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.

This initial detox period, along with the history of addiction of the individual, can vary in length from one person to another, depending on frequency, recency, and amount of use.

 

Once the first week in rehab is over, you should expect…

Our clinical team will begin to guide you, once you’ve completed your detox from alcohol or drugs, through the start of your therapy. It is important for you to understand why you became addicted in the first place, so you’ll be taking part in group Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or one-on-one counselling.

Tongwynlais and Cardiff Residential programmes are, as a whole quite diverse, and will see you participating in mutual aid meetings, complementary or holistic therapies, sharing experiences with other clients, physical exercise routines, and a move back toward structure and order, in your daily routine.

Most Tongwynlais 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.

In the last 7 days of a rehab clinic stay, here's what you can expect...

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.

These will help you move on from residential treatment back into life outside the clinic and give you the chance to plan ahead and get the support to thwart any triggers that may be the cause of your addiction.

 

Who Is a Good Candidate For Rehab?

Rehab clinic treatment is designed for people who have committed themselves to full recovery.

Such people have tried time and time again to quit their misuse of alcohol or drugs and know there must be a way for them to succeed even though they’ve failed before – if only they had the right support.

Rehab clinic treatment is for people who know that there is a way through this and who are willing to undertake the effort necessary to achieve this, and who are willing to fully detox then take part in the counselling and therapies which follow afterwards.

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

 

What Doesn't Work Anymore, In Alcohol & Drug Rehab Treatment?

- Going it alone. Believing that even though although external support channels are available, they are not required.

- Treatment programmes skewed to the extreme, in favour strictly of only one form of spiritual approach or outlook on recovery. Clinics now tend not to insist on the religious determinism aspect of recovery from addiction, and favour a broader approach to treatment which incorporates a holistic outlook to rehab treatment.

- Any programme which is dogmatic and process-driven, which will tend to make patients feel that they’re numbers rather than people.

The essence of alcoholism and drug addiction recovery is in mutual aid, community, and respect for each other as individuals.

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

  • Take a reality check: the patterns and events in your life are going round in circles and you will continue to be dysfunctional unless you make a significant change by getting proper help and support.
  • Accept that you don't know how to do this personally (or you would have done so by now, presumably).
  • Be willing to accept instructions and guidance from those who are succeeding in recovery, and have walked the path before you.
  • Always keep communicating with the people who are helping you as you detox and also during the therapy and group sessions which follow after that.

 

Is There A Checklist Of Things You Should Do When Planning To Enter Tongwynlais Drug/Alcohol Rehab?

All good clinics will send a booking acknowledgment to you prior to your stay, detailing all the things to 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 all goes according to plan you might expect to see signs of:

- If you've understood what the alcohol/substance abuse is doing *for* you, it becomes easier to fulfil this need in other, healthier ways, and then plan this in aftercare planning.

- You should begin to notice small behavioural and emotional changes, increased structure and order, and a sense of renewed purpose.

- Many find that relationships, family life and the world of work are also improved, because they're now given the room to grow into the space which previously had been given over entirely to addiction.

Tell Me The Top 3 Errors I Should Avoid When Entering Addiction Rehab?

(i) Initial nerves at the thought of withdrawal/detox, ceasing usage, and this fear being so strong that the client will stop treatment before any has even begun.

(ii) Mistaking a couple of early successful milestones for a complete and lasting recovery from substance abuse.

(iii) The risk of relapsing due to improper preparation for, or misreading of, trigger events which present themselves after rehab treatment has been completed.

 

What If Tongwynlais Inpatient Rehab Doesn't Work For Me?

If you relapse following treatment, there are a few possibilities:

(i) You didn't follow through on aftercare supports provided.

(ii) You didn't make enough progress on underlying psychological issues behind alcoholism or drug addiction, prior to experiencing an external trigger.

quotation mark

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You can look to prevent these scenarios by:

(i) During treatment, ensuring you plan for aftercare and engage with all the help on offer.

(ii) Keep your contact with your aftercare support strong, as this will be much needed when you find yourself in a potential trigger situation (it is bound to happen). 

Relapses often arise as a result of omitting or neglecting one of the above precautionary measures.

Can Recovery Work For Me? I Have No Family Or Friends Support

As you read this, millions of people are in recovery after having been through rehab, and each one of these will have a different quality of support as well as a different support history.

Even without regular support from family, recovery from alcohol or substance dependence is possible.

  • In such cases you'll need to find other means of support which replicate the help that people with supportive family members have.
  • It means that you need to work out the parts of the family support which you don’t have, and reproduce these in alternative ways; it is certainly possible as millions manage it.
  • The key to achieve success here is to know what are the most effective elements for your own needs.

 

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

If AA didn’t work for you, we assure you that rehab is different; here’s how…

AA is a great resource to have, but AA and rehab are not the same thing.

Many have used only AA Tongwynlais 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 Clinic .v. Mutual Aid
Rehab Clinic
  • Includes supervised detox
  • Personalised therapeutic input
  • All treatment under one roof
  • Costs attached
Mutual Aid
  • Free of charge
  • Long term support
  • Not individualised
  • 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.

 

Those who have successfully completed a residential rehab programme often attend AA as part of their ongoing stop drinking support.

Both rehab and AA provide excellent foundations for recovery, and can be used individually, together, or at different times in any one individual's overall recovery pathway.

 

Is AA Alone Likely To Lead To Long Term Recovery?

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

However, AA cannot provide medical detox, personalised therapeutic insight into the reasons behind your personal pattern of addiction, or structure and accountability in a cohesive aftercare plan.

 

For this, turn first to a structured residential rehab programme, then later, enjoy the benefits of Alcoholics Anonymous or your chosen mutual aid programme, in Tongwynlais in the longer term.

Is Ceasing My Addictive Behaviour Without Assistance Useful...Or Dangerous?

We don’t consider this to be a good move at all.

Withdrawal without the expert help of experienced and qualified clinicians is extremely risky and we explicitly advise against this.

There are the dangers of having seizures and blood pressure issues, with serious risk of heart issues.

**You must NOT attempt to undergo detox yourself, or any kind of DIY withdrawal method**.

What Is My Financial Situation Isn’t Up To That At The Moment?

If a full rehab programme is out of your reach at the moment, here's something to ask about.

There is sometimes a  shorter programme which involves only completing the initial detox, although not available in all cases.

This is not because there is less financial outlay, but instead because there are established links with lower success rates, for shorter term interventions, instead of longer ones.

 

Although the standard rehab stay is 28 days in total, we can suggest shorter stays if it is still clinically appropriate.

Shorter detox programmes are available, **but only** if there are adequate support structures in place for when you complete this.

...in other words, a proper and structured plan to therapy with its associated follow-up support.

Attempting to arrange a short-term detox, without these supports already in place, increases risk of relapse, and may considerably lower the chances of long-term recovery success, in our experience.

 

How Do Clinics Approach Their Rehab Refund Policy?

Each clinic will operate their own refund policies, so ask before your course begins.

If you relapse you should not expect a refund, as the cause of the relapse is down to the client in each case.

 

How Do I Get Started In Treatment?

  • You will need to contact the chosen clinic, go through their phone assessment or interview process, pay your deposit, then begin the treatment, usually within two days.
