What is an Inpatient Rehab Programme?
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.
What To Expect From Rehab
Residents participate in group work therapy daily and in one-to-one sessions that focus on:
- Increasing internal motivation to change and cessation of alcohol or drug abuse
- Visualising a happier, more productive life free from addiction
The rehab programme offers:
- Therapeutic Group Work
- One-to-one sessions with specialist-trained addiction staff
- Healthy balanced diet
Abbeycare – Therapeutic Approach
- Motivational Interviewing: Motivational Interviewing is about going inwards to find answers. Facilitators use this technique to highlight negative aspects of drinking
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT is a technique professionals use to address the link between negative thinking and behavior patterns.
- 12-Step Philosophy: The 12-Step Programme follows an abstinence approach to the use of harmful substances in the recovery process.
