They can offer you the support and tools you will need to achieve long-term recovery.
However, as their care is so focused on aiding people in their journey to long-term recovery, there are certain criteria a person must meet in order to be eligible for drug or alcohol treatment within the rehab facility.
There are certain people who are not eligible for care at drug and alcohol rehab Cumbria and will need to seek alternative treatments.

A drug and alcohol rehab centre in Cumbria is a safe place that you can go to in order to focus on your recovery plan.

Option one is the use of an NHS drug and alcohol rehab service in Cumbria.
These are very good if you can’t afford any other form of rehabilitation services.
They are free and tend to be outpatient drug and alcohol rehab facilities held at a local NHS Foundation Trust, allowing you to work around your current schedule.

The NHS may also be able to help you arrange access to a sober living house if your current living conditions are not conducive to recovery.
You can also reach out to a number of remote drug and alcohol services, such as Turning Point, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), We Are With You, the National Association for Children of Alcoholics and Change Grow Live.
However, the one downside is that the staff working there tend to be stretched pretty thin, which means you can’t receive much one-to-one attention as you could through private treatment options.
It is also very likely that the facility the council-run drug and alcohol rehab service is based in won’t be local to you, possibly not even in Cumbria.
This will mean that you will have to travel in for each session making it very difficult if you don’t have reliable transport such as a car or the money for a taxi.

Option two is an at-home detox in Cumbria.
This option costs around £1,500, and it allows you to work through the detox process in the comfort of your own home with the support of a home treatment team.
Much like the detox, you would experience in the drug and alcohol rehab centre, and you will be monitored.
However, in this case, it will be done remotely by a team at the facility.
Many people prefer this option as it doesn’t involve having to leave their home in Cumbria.
This is different to experiencing withdrawal symptoms alone as they can be very dangerous. At the same time, the home detox is perfectly safe.
It is not as safe as the inpatient drug and alcohol rehab. Still, if it is what you can afford, it is much better than attempting to detox alone without medical help.
You will be mailed out withdrawal drugs such as the benzodiazepine Chlordiazepoxide – better known as Librium – to help you wean off drugs and alcohol safely.
This option is only available if you are cleared by a psychiatrist who has deemed you as low risk.
Additionally, certain types or levels of drug addiction & abuse are extremely unlikely to be allowed to be treated through a home detox, such as opiate addictions, heroin addiction and abuse, mephadrone addiction or buprenorphine addiction.
Amongst your treatment options is the possibility of joining a local recovery support group in Cumbria to help you reduce your substance abuse.
These are free addiction rehabilitation programmes, run by charity-funded organisations.
Groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA meetings), Narcotics Anonymous (NA meetings), Cocaine Anonymous (CA meetings) or SMART Recovery all operate in Cumbria and are all famously effective.
The ‘Anonymous’ groups follow the 12-step plan focused on self-improvement and helping others
They focus on leaning on a ‘higher power’ when addiction seems overwhelming, whereas SMART Recovery takes a more secular approach.

Option three is a shared room in a residential facility in Cumbria.
This option allows you to share a room with others staying at the drug and alcohol rehab centre in Cumbria for the full 28 days.
This option can often cost you about £6,000 for the full stay.
Some people prefer this option as it gives them an opportunity to really interact with others who can understand your experience as someone struggling with addiction.
To begin your recovery journey at your ideal drug and alcohol rehab in Cumbria, call us today on 0800 140 4690
Option four is the most expensive, and it is a full 28-day residential stay in a private room.
Residential drug and alcohol rehab can cost you anywhere from £8,000 to £12,000.
However, it will give you space away from others and allow you to self-reflect and really focus on your own rehab journey without interruption from anyone else.
All of these options have their positives and negatives. But it is important to remember that no matter what you decide on, you will still be able to achieve long-term recovery.
You just need to be willing to follow your rehab treatment plan and put in the work so you can leave the facility with the skills and tools you need to avoid further substance abuse.

Drug and alcohol rehabs focus on detoxing from your addictive substance or behaviour, to rid your body from it and get you into new habits.
Addictions lead to dependency, which causes your brain’s chemistry to change.
It is with these substances that you may start to experience drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms when you go an extended period of time without them.
This happens because your body has grown used to the chemical changes they cause.
This is a cycle rehab will begin to break.
When you first start abusing substances such as alcohol and heroin, you cause your body to experience a rush of the feel-good chemical dopamine.
Soon your brain will get used to these higher levels and will need more and more of the substance to allow you to experience the rush of dopamine.
Following this, you will begin to experience cravings as your brain has begun to believe that it needs the substance to produce any dopamine at all.
That is why, when these cravings are ignored, your body begins to panic, leaving you susceptible to drug or alcohol withdrawal syndrome.
Whether going through heroin withdrawal, alcohol withdrawal or recovery from any other substance, this process can be dangerous.
This is why medicated detox is sometimes necessary, and rehab can offer you a safe place where you can do this under medical supervision.
Drug and alcohol withdrawal symptoms rehab can treat include:

People suffering from addiction are also more likely to contract certain other diseases, including heart disease, liver failure and hepatitis.
That is why, as part of the drug and alcohol rehab options available in Cumbria for a heroin or alcohol addiction struggle, you have to undergo a detox.
Alcohol detox, heroin detox, ketamine detox, a detox for prescription drug addiction and abuse and many others all conditions require professional support in order to be performed safely and effectively.
During your medically-assisted detox at rehab, a doctor may issue prescription medication for alcohol addiction, often using a benzodiazepine called Chlordiazepoxide, better known as Librium.
Some substances like cannabis do not require a medical detox, and neither do behavioural addictions like gambling addiction.

When you stop taking mood-altering drugs, you can find yourself experiencing the effects of mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety and paranoia.
Part of the necessary treatment to deal with this effect is therapy.
Therefore, during your stay at a drug and alcohol rehab centre in Cumbria, you will be expected to take part in regular therapy sessions in order to improve your mental health.
You will also be expected to continue this once you have left the drug and alcohol rehab centre in/near Cumbria so that your mental health issues can be continuously monitored by a trained professional.

As every person is different, they will also have different needs at rehab.
Because of this, no two people will respond to the same kind of therapy the same.
What may really help one person could hinder another’s progress. That is why it is important to be open and honest with your therapist so that they can refer you to the kind of therapy that will help you the best.
We have previously mentioned a few different therapy options available at a drug and alcohol rehab in Cumbria.
Still, it is important that you are familiar and comfortable with each one.
The more you know about your various options, the easier it will be to make a safe and informed decision regarding your treatment in Cumbria.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a commonly used therapy at rehab.
Cognitive behavioural therapy is very useful for those suffering from mood disorders such as anxiety or depression.
You will also be taught healthier coping mechanisms that allow you to acknowledge your feelings and take steps to control them.
Part of this therapy type for many people involves a dual diagnosis where a mental illness is diagnosed alongside an addiction.
This allows you to access help for all of your problems and receive treatment even after you leave the drug and alcohol rehab centre.
Another option available is Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) which is designed to treat serious mental disorders such as suicidal thoughts.
It teaches you coping mechanisms that focus on mindfulness so that you can centre yourself.
The next option is the motivational interview, which is about motivating you to overcome negative behaviours through positive reinforcement at rehab.
This often comes alongside other motivational addiction therapies such as motivational enhancement therapy.

Holistic therapy is more creative and less structured than the other options.
The holistic approach to addiction recovery can include:
It is to allow your mind a chance to explore your thoughts and feelings in a low-stakes and stress-free environment, as stress rehab & treatment can often be such an essential step in beating addiction.
This therapy can involve things like art therapy and music therapy. It is about what will help you relax and open up to yourself and your experiences.
Some rehab centres in Cumbria may even be equipped to offer things like adventure therapy and equine therapy, as well as alternative alcohol and drug addiction treatment techniques such as mindfulness, acupuncture, reiki and more.
Group therapy and Group psychotherapy is widely known and is most commonly found as part of a support group in Cumbria. It is sessions where you and other people struggling with addiction work with a therapist to deal with your problems.
Many people find it is a very good way to socialise and realise you are not alone. That anyone can struggle with addiction, and there is no shame in asking for the help you need to overcome it and achieve long term recovery.
These are just a few of the many treatments available at a drug and alcohol rehab in Cumbria.
Other widely used techniques include:
You can also find general mental health support at Rethink Mental Illness, Papyrus, Young Minds, Samaritans and Mind UK.
