At our drug and alcohol rehab in Harrogate and across the UK, we can offer support for the following types of addiction:
Before attending drug and alcohol rehab in Harrogate, the first step to take is to access an assessment.
If you are concerned about the well-being of a loved one, you may be able to take steps to support them before they start formal treatment at a rehab centre.
One way of doing this is by using the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (or CRAFT) approach.
CRAFT is designed to help individuals struggling with addiction to feel supported by their friends and family in a warm network that promotes open communication and aiding others. [2]
If you are worried that a friend or family member may not be willing to go forward with formal drug and alcohol rehab in Harrogate, organising an intervention may be an option.
An Intervention is a meeting with a professional interventionist.
The aim of an intervention is to gently encourage individuals to recognise that they may be dealing with addiction or dependency, and to discuss the different treatment options (and subsequent benefits) they may be able to utilise. [3]

The first stage of accessing support is usually to have an assessment with a medical professional.
During an assessment, you will be screened for addiction. Often, medical professionals use the CAGE questionnaire to assess your current situation.
You may be asked the following questions:
Medical detoxing is a key component of most forms of drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
The detox phase of addiction treatment prioritizes your physical health.
Not all drugs are physically addictive. Some are only addictive psychologically. [5]
This means that a detox phase is not required for all kinds of alcohol and drug addiction treatment, and your care will focus on psychological addiction.
However, if you are seeking help for an addiction to a physically addictive substance, then the detox stage is an essential part of the initial recovery.
During a medical detox, your body will need to adjust to functioning without the addictive substance.
Because of this, it is likely that you will experience withdrawal symptoms.
During the programme of detoxification, you will be monitored by medical professionals.
In some cases, medicine is administered to assist with difficult withdrawal symptoms and to make the process easier and more comfortable for you.
It may be possible to access the detox phase of drug and alcohol rehab in Harrogate as an inpatient in a rehab facility or as an outpatient via a home detox (sometimes known as community detoxification).
Two of the main physically addictive drugs that require detox are alcohol and heroin.
