Many of them live in places with no access to help, or a lack of funding for local healthcare assistance.
If you live in Shrewsbury, you are one of the few who should not despair.
You can change your life by calling for help.
Abbeycare is here to help you do away from your addiction and help you restore your life in order.
Drugs and the Law
As part of the efforts to fight off drugs and addiction, many governments have enacted laws that penalise people involved with illegal drugs.
In the UK, you can be penalised by imprisonment or payment of fines if you are found guilty of taking, carrying, making, selling or dealing drugs.
The severity of punishments will depend on the class/ type and quantity of the drug that you have, and whether you’re using or supplying it.
Possession means you have the drugs in your hands, pocket, car or area that you own regardless if the items belong to you or not.
Supplying drugs which come with more severe penalties, involves producing, dealing, selling or sharing drugs,
Possession of class A drugs, like cocaine, heroin, and ecstasy is punishable up to 7 years in prison.
Supplying class A drugs can result in lifetime imprisonment.
Possession and supply of Class B drugs like marijuana and amphetamines have lesser penalties.
Possession of temporary class drugs like methylphenidate substances, HDMP-28 or IPP or IPPD won’t get you imprisoned but the drugs will be confiscated by the police.
Withdrawal Management
At Abbeycare, we provide a professional-managed detox programme to safely help those wishing to become abstinent from the toxic chemicals of drugs.
Detox goes hand in hand with withdrawal management, which is the medical and psychological treatment of clients experiencing withdrawal symptoms during detox.
Withdrawal management involves 24-hour clinical care and monitoring.
Specialist staff continuously observe and examine the physiological and psychological withdrawal symptoms of the client.
Appropriate medication is administered to the client to alleviate or mitigate withdrawal symptoms.
Mental status is periodically examined to provide diagnostic information and evaluation to treatment response.
Addiction education is provided to educate and enlighten the client and family about what those in addiction are going through.
Behavioural therapy and motivational counselling are also provided to give client strength, courage, and will power as well as the right frame of mind to fight off craving and prevent relapse.
Detox should not be a standalone process but must include withdrawal management to make it safe and effective.

FAQ
What is ‘cold turkey?
Cold turkey refers to the sudden and absolute cessation of taking drugs or alcohol without outside help or intervention.
It is termed cold turkey because an addict that quits cold turkey would bear a physical resemblance to a cold turkey, to wit: moist and pale skin with small bumps and erect hairs.
Quitting drugs cold turkey can be dangerous because some withdrawal symptoms can be lethal and require professional supervision and management.
