What are the Addiction Treatment Options in Bahrain?

Treatment in Bahrain tends to take the form of outpatient sessions, crisis-led services, and hospital-based care.

While there is a time and place for each of these, studies consistently confirm that inpatient rehab, for a duration of 28 days, is the most effective way to treat a drug or alcohol addiction.

While drug and alcohol rehab in Bahrain is accessible for some, the treatment often doesn’t compare to the likes of Europe.

For this reason, many Bahrain residents choose to travel to Europe for their treatment, aiming to reduce the risk of relapse significantly.

Why People Travel Abroad for Rehab from Bahrain

Many Bahrain residents choose to travel for addiction recovery treatment, in order to pursue a comprehensive programme designed by a reputable rehabilitation centre.

Europe boasts premium rehab facilities, high standards of care, and experts in the field of addiction. Attending a European facility often means:

1. Cultural and social privacy

Many would argue that attitudes towards mental health are more progressive in Europe. Those from the Middle East, including Bahrain, may feel more comfortable commencing their sobriety journey in a culture that is more understanding of addiction.

2. High standards of care

The standards of care in Europe are unrivalled. Attending a regulated rehab in Europe allows access to 24/7 care, specialist medical professionals, and education on not only addiction, but also:

  • Nutrition
  • Fitness
  • Sleep
  • Employment
  • Relationships
  • General mental health

3. Availability of inpatient rehab

Unlike in Bahrain, Europe has a very high availability of inpatient rehabilitation centres. This means people with addiction can make their choice based on a range of factors, from the specific location of the centre to its reputation.

4. Separation from triggers

It’s common for drug users to opt for treatment away from their homes, as familiar environments are tied to triggers.

Starting recovery in another country feels like a fresh start, and this can be exactly what a rehab patient needs in order to face the first battle of getting sober.

Where Can I Recover from Drug and Alcohol Addiction?

With Rehab 4 Addiction, you have the benefit of choice. Boasting 70+ treatment centre contacts in the UK, and many more all over the world, we help you recover in countries such as:

  • UK
  • Spain
  • Switzerland
  • Thailand

For all options, there will be English-speaking staff present to ensure your recovery process is as smooth as possible.

Clinics are all regulated, and offer evidence-based therapy with medically-supervised detoxes. In other words, regardless of the country, you’re in safe hands.

Whether your treatment involves one-to-one sessions, group sessions, or both (it’s usually both), all rehabs will maintain high confidentiality standards.

Adaptability is something we pride ourselves on. When you reach out to us, we pair you with a facility that is equipped to treat you in a comprehensive, tailored manner, whether that means taking into account your dual diagnosis, offering long-term rehab stays, allowing your family to be involved in your treatment plan, or introducing you to cost-effective ways to attend rehab.

In terms of location, it’s down to where you feel the most comfortable. If you’re coming from Manama, perhaps you would feel more at home in a rehab facility that’s near to a large city, such as London, Barcelona, or Geneva.

On the other hand, you may prefer to recover in a much quieter environment. In that case, we would put you in touch with a rural rehab.

Generally, rehab centres are known for being based in quiet areas, as this lowers distractions and triggers, and helps patients to fully focus on their recovery.

However, rehabs that are near to big cities can be convenient due to better transport links for the journey there and back, and even family connections.

How Sober Transport Can Help You Access Recovery

In Bahrain, there are many sober transport services willing to help you make your way from Bahrain to your treatment country of choice.

The most common service provided is a travel companion. These friendly professionals offer door-to-door support, arriving at your home in Bahrain and travelling with you internationally, up until your admission to rehab.

Why might you need a sober companion?

Accountability is one reason. Sober companions can help keep you safe by acting as an accountability partner and reducing your risk of relapse as you travel.

They can also offer emotional support. Making an international journey to rehab is often very overwhelming, and more emotional than you may even expect. Sober companions can offer a listening ear and comfort you as you face complex emotions.

Many have already done this journey themselves, so they can offer helpful advice and empathise with your challenges.

As you travel to rehab, you may have to deal with administration tasks. Sober companions can step in and make contact with the rehab facility, allowing you to simply focus on the journey and nothing else.

What Happens at Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Bahrain?

Most rehab centres, whether in Bahrain or abroad, follow a similar structure. It often looks like:

  • Confidential consultation: For Rehab 4 Addiction clients, this process involves a call with one of our brilliant team members, who will ask about your situation in a sensitive manner. In this call, we learn about your clinical and personal needs, which helps us to match you with a rehab in which you will thrive. At this stage, we also take into account your preferences for the country of treatment, any specific locations, and other factors that influence your recovery experience.
  • Travel support: Once you have been referred to a regulated treatment provider, you can start travel preparations. Many international rehabs will offer help with tasks such as coordinating transport to the rehab facility. This includes organising a sober coach to travel with you.
  • Admission: On admission day, you will meet the friendly staff, and they will give you a tour of your new home for the next 28 days. At this stage, you will be shown to your room, where you can unpack and get comfortable.
  • Detox: Most patients begin the drug or alcohol detox as early as possible. Sometimes, this is the patient’s sole focus for a few days or longer, but other times, they will be engaging in therapy sessions alongside the detox.
  • Therapy + other programmes: Individual therapy and group therapy make up the majority of the schedule at rehab, with different therapeutic methods used depending on the patient’s needs. Other informative sessions will also keep patients busy, such as employment and nutrition workshops. There will always be time for patients to take care of their bodies, from going to the gym to relaxing during free time.
  • Aftercare plan: Before rehab comes to an end, patients will meet with staff to prepare the relapse prevention plan, tailoring each aspect to the individual’s needs.

Accessing Post-Rehab Support in Bahrain

Once you have attended rehab internationally, it’s likely that you will have been handed an aftercare plan (also known as a relapse prevention plan).

These plans generally last one year, and the goal is to keep you sober for that entire time, and beyond.

As the risk of relapse is very high post-rehab, the treatment plan will cover all sorts of support, from remote therapy appointments to sleep hygiene advice.

You may be wondering: if I completed my programme abroad, does that mean I can’t get any help in Bahrain?

Not at all! Your relapse prevention plan is tailored to you. This means you will talk with staff about how you would feel the most supported in your sobriety, and they will ensure you can benefit from multiple forms of support in Bahrain.

For example, if staff feel you would thrive in a self-help group, they can find a local group in Bahrain for you to attend. The same goes for addiction-focused charities.

One resource that is particularly useful in this scenario is sober coaching. By working with a Bahrain sober coach, you can feel supported every single day of your recovery, and know that your coach is always nearby to step in when you need them.

If resources are few and far between in your area, remote support is always an option. Rehab teams will ensure you can make the most of your recovery plan regardless of where you are in the world.

They will most likely offer telephone check-ins, ongoing therapy, and emergency contact lists for crisis situations, all of which still apply when you are living in Bahrain.

FAQs
