Residential alcohol rehab is a very intense and structured [8] form of treatment designed to help those struggling with addiction overcome their substance abuse.

It is important that you are in the right frame of mind before committing to drug and alcohol rehab treatment as you will be able to benefit from the expert advice and clear structure [9] it can provide for you.

Have you been debating seeking a professional drug or alcohol addiction treatment service for a while but are unsure if you are struggling with addiction or substance misuse issues?

If this sounds familiar to you, take a look at the below list of who a private alcohol rehab centre can help.

• Those who drink 30 or more units of alcohol a day. [10] This is typically equivalent to either one bottle of vodka, three bottles of wine, or 12+ pints of beer.
• Those whose mental health is declining due to a substance use disorder (SUD).
• Those who become violent when intoxicated.
• Those who experience Delirium Tremens (DTs) or alcohol-related seizures. DTs are the most severe form of ethanol withdrawal that consists of an altered state of mind (confusion) and hyperactivity which can lead to cardiovascular collapse.
• Those who suffer from Wernicke’s Encephalopathy. An acute neurological condition is typically characterised by three things: ataxia, confusion, and ophthalmoplegia.
• Those with co-occurring disorders and who struggle with suicidal thoughts.
• Those who are classified as having a severe substance use disorder (SUD) according to the DSM-5.
• Those who have tried to recover in the past but are unable to stay sober or maintain long term recovery. [11]

Why should I consider going to drug and alcohol rehab Essex?

People laughing at drug and alcohol rehab in Essex

There are over 7,000 alcohol-related deaths [12] in the UK each year. When one considers this alongside the significant impact an addiction to alcohol has on life expectancy, [13] then seeking out help becomes a matter of life and death.

It is easy to deny that you have a problem with alcohol or drug abuse. Some struggle for years because they are unwilling to seek out help.

The first step in drug and alcohol recovery is admitting that you have a problem. [14]

Addiction can effect anyone, whatever their age, [15] sex, or background.

If you are in the Essex area and think you may need to undergo alcohol or alcohol rehab treatment, we can help.

Going to an Essex alcohol rehab is one extremely effective way to treat addiction.

There are some great alcohol rehabilitation options in Essex that can help you get clean.

We also provide alcohol rehabilitation treatment in primary care (home) settings.

Below are ten signs that it may be time to go to alcohol rehab in Essex or near Essex.

If some or all of these apply to you, then we are here to help:

1. Your substance use has caused physical or mental health disorders.
2. Your relationships have suffered.
3. You are unable to get through a day without using substances.
4. Your addiction takes priority over the things you used to enjoy.
5. You are skipping work or school to use substances.
6. Lying has become a way for you to support your drug use.
7. You have been in trouble with the police because of your drug use.
8. Social events no longer matter as much to you because of your addiction.
9. You have tried quitting alone [16], and it hasn’t worked.
10. Your loved ones have urged you to seek help.

The above is adapted from the DSM Criteria for Substance Use Disorders. [17]

For example, someone suffering from a type one alcohol addiction [18] is likely to show signs of high harm avoidance and low novelty seeking, whilst a type two alcoholic [19] will show signs of riskier behaviour and is likely to engage in high novelty seeking.

What are my addiction treatment options for drug and alcohol rehab in Essex or near Essex?

Black and white photo of a group therapy session at drug and alcohol rehab in Essex

There are two broad types of treatment [23] we typically recommend for substance use disorders in Essex or near Essex.

These consist of detox and alcohol rehab.

Detoxification is solely concerned with the physical withdrawal symptoms occurring when you stop drinking [24] alcohol or using certain drugs.

In contrast, alcohol rehab takes place after detox and it is concerned with the mental aspects of addiction.

Detoxing refers to managed withdrawal. You may experience a variety of withdrawal symptoms. [25]

All the inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation services in Essex and near Essex we work with provide round-the-clock medical care.

They will look after you through your alcohol rehabilitation programme.

Once the detoxification process is complete, you may progress with other therapies.

Every addiction patient at an Essex rehab will develop a personalised treatment plan to address their own unique needs.

This means treatment is tailored to their specific needs rather than simply being one of many identical treatment plans.

When you first get to alcohol rehab or other sober living houses, you will undergo a psychiatric assessment. This is so that you can be diagnosed and receive appropriate treatment. A psychiatrist or other medical professional will do this.

You may also need to have a medical detox at alcohol rehab – especially for those going through something with dangerous symptoms such as heroin withdrawal, or for those who have a physical dependence on a substance.

You may be prescribed Librium or Chlordiazepoxide for alcohol withdrawal symptoms, or substances like Acamprosate [26], Naltrexone [27], and anti-anxiety medications like Paroxetine [28] and their alternatives. [29]

Long-term consequences [30] of substance abuse can include hepatitis, Wernicke encephalopathy, [31] alcohol withdrawal syndrome and more.

Private alcohol rehab vs local authority-funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Essex – Which is better?

Happy group therapy sessions at drug and alcohol rehab in Essex

The most important thing to understand when comparing private treatment to that funded by your local authority is that private alcohol rehabilitation can typically be accessible more quickly.

You can see a list of local authority-funded alcohol rehab services here.

Below are the pros and cons of both private and local authority funded treatment.

Pros of private alcohol rehab services in Essex and near Essex:

• Immediate admission
• Personalised treatment
• Tailored detox programmes
• Fewer admission criteria
• Involvement of family members and friends
• Your choice of location

Pros of local authority-funded addiction treatment services in Essex and near Essex:

• It is free, [32] or comes at a very reduced cost
• If you cannot afford private treatment, local authority-funded treatment is an accessible alcohol rehab option
• You can begin treatment in your local area which offers comfort and convenience

Cons of private alcohol rehab treatment in Essex and near Essex:

• The cost often deters people from considering private treatment
• It can be costly depending on the treatments you partake in
• People who can afford private treatment due to unlimited funds often choose the addiction treatment programme they want rather than the one they need
• Some people enter treatment to appease a family member and are not committed to their addiction rehabilitation programme

Cons of a local authority-funded alcohol rehab treatment programme in Essex and near Essex:

• Detox is not included in all local authority-funded treatments, so clients may be expected to detox before beginning treatment. Passmore House is an example of a local authority alcohol rehab offering detoxification services that are funded by Essex County Council.
• Waiting lists are obviously longer than paying for alcohol rehab privately
• Even if you meet the criteria for a free addiction treatment unit, there is no guarantee that you will receive an alcohol rehab placement
• You may not be able to choose the location you want to recover in

How much does drug and alcohol rehab treatment cost in Essex?

The price of drug and alcohol rehab varies depending upon the centres you select, the amount of time you stay at the alcohol rehab and whether you opt to sleep in a single or multiple occupancy treatment rooms.

If you opt for a 10-day detox with a single occupancy room, then prices range from £3,000-£6,000.

Prices for a multi-occupancy room vary from £2,000-£4,000.

If you wish to stay at an alcohol rehab for 28 days, then expect to pay around £8,000-£12,000 for a single occupancy room, or around £6,000 for a multi-occupancy room.

If you wish to undergo a home detox, then you may save money, but you will not be shielded from temptations.

However, home detoxes do work for many people.

Expect to pay around £1,500 for a home detox.

We can inform you of the exact, up-to-date prices of alcohol rehabilitation treatment facilities in Essex.

Although these are considerable sums of money, most alcohol rehabilitation centres will work with you to create a realistic payment plan wth whatever payment options fit you best, whilst many private medical insurance suppliers will cover the cost of addiction treatment.

You’ll have to contact your private insurance directly to see if your plan covers any of the costs associated with addiction treatment.

Mental health treatment and addiction – Dual diagnosis at drug and alcohol rehab in Essex

Therapist and patient laughing at drug and alcohol rehab in Essex

Many people facing addictions are often facing mental health issues at the same time.

Often, these conditions are undiagnosed and even unidentified, but alcohol rehab can help.

When this presents in a patient, it is known as a dual diagnosis situation.

Unfortunately, co-occurring disorders can affect each other.

This means that when mental health issues are left untreated, a substance use disorder can worsen.

Mental health conditions that can be treated alongside alcohol rehabilitation include:

• Bipolar Disorder
• Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) [36]
• Anti-Social Personality Disorder (APD) [37]
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Schizophrenia

At Rehab 4 Addiction, we want you to understand that you don’t have to feel this way.

A dual diagnosis can be hard to recognise, this is because it is difficult to determine what is a mental health-related problem and what is a substance-related problem.

Take a look at the questions below and try to answer as honestly as possible.

• Do you feel depressed and anxious when you are sober?

• Do you use drugs or alcohol to deal with unpleasant feelings, or memories, or to control your mood?
• Have you received mental health treatment or addiction treatment in the past but found it hard to stay on track [38] and almost impossible to remain motivated? [39]

• Have you noticed a correlation between your mental health and your substance use? Do you feel sad when you drink alcohol? Or do you drink when you begin to feel anxious?
• Do you think you could use the help of formal panic attack treatment?

Residential drug and alcohol rehab in Essex can help you access quality addiction treatment for both your addiction and any mental health problems that you may be facing or have been recently diagnosed with.

This is a major benefit to private treatment and can help you heal both physically and psychologically.

You can also find general mental health treatment and support at Rethink Mental Illness, Papyrus,  Young Minds, Samaritans and Mind UK.

To learn more about how a drug & alcohol rehabilitation in Essex will support your with appropriate mental health treatment, call us on  0800 140 4690

For the medical check, bring any medication you are currently taking.

The doctors may prescribe medication to treat withdrawal symptoms.

They will also answer any questions you have about your treatment and the recovery process as a whole.

During your stay, there will be meetings with therapists and doctors.

Below is a very loose description of what you can expect from a typical day at alcohol rehab services.

1. Morning

You will start the day with a healthy breakfast. Then you will have a meeting to discuss your progress.

This may include exercises such as meditation.

2. Noon and Evening

Around noon, you will eat lunch. Then you begin psychological treatment, with your personalised treatment plan focusing on key recovery treatments such as one-to-one therapy and group therapy sessions.

There may be other therapy sessions too, such as art therapy and 12-step facilitation meetings.

After this, you will have some free time.

3. Night

After a healthy dinner and any necessary medication, it will be lights out.

Sleep is vital for your body to return to health.

How long does drug and alcohol rehab in Essex last?

Picture of a clock

Whilst full drug or alcohol recovery can take anywhere from six months to five years or longer, [49] a formal treatment opportunity at a recovery service will rarely last this long.

Treatment can last anything from 7 and 28 days. The detoxification process can take as little as 7 days.

The most common alcohol rehabilitation programmes in an Essex drug and alcohol treatment centre will last between 14 days and 28 days.

The recommended duration of treatment is to be determined during your assessment.

For advice about how long your treatment opportunity may last at a drug and alcohol rehab in Essex, call our helpline on 0800 140 4690

Can I detox from drugs or alcohol at home in Essex instead of through addiction inpatient treatment?

Patient and therapist sat facing each other at a drug and alcohol rehab in Essex

Many clients like the thought of detoxing at home.

It is a significantly cheaper option than addiction inpatient treatment in Essex and can help to avoid moving into alcohol rehabilitation treatment facilities or disrupting your career and family commitments.

At-home alcohol detoxes can be made possible with the help and support of drug and alcohol rehabilitation clinics in Essex.

It typically involves an initial assessment by a psychiatrist and the prescription of anti-withdrawal medication mailed out to you.

At-home detoxes are monitored daily through a telephone call by your psychiatrist.

Detox at alcohol rehab typically lasts for around 10 days and involve the prescription of Librium to help ease withdrawal symptoms.

Librium is the brand name for the generic chlordiazepoxide, a benzodiazepine that is used for its calming effects on anxiety.

It has proven very effective in helping those who withdraw from alcohol during a detox programme.

When consuming alcohol, the neurotransmitters in the brain [53] fail to function correctly.

Librium regulates communication and nervous activity, making an at-home detox more manageable.

For some clients, a stay at a residential rehab can prove useful after a home detox.

For around 3 weeks you can overcome the psychological causes of addiction by partaking in tailored therapy sessions.

At-home detoxes should not be confused with self-detoxes which involve zero medical supervision at all and are not advised by Rehab 4 Addiction.

Keeping a drinking diary and minimising your consumption can help to reduce your intake [54] if you cannot commit to drug and alcohol rehab at this current moment.

However, we urge you to reach out to us if you are wanting to end your addiction.

Unmanaged alcohol withdrawals are very dangerous and can cause a variety of effects on the body and mind such as:

• Seizures
• Anxiety
• Increased heart rate
• Irritability
• Liver disease [55]
• Stroke [56]
• Cirrhosis [57]
• Specific mineral deficiencies (zinc, magnesium, calcium, etc.) [58]

What substance addictions can drug and alcohol rehab in Essex help?

Doctor taking notes at a drug and alcohol rehab in Essex

Alcohol rehab can help to treat many substance addictions ranging from cannabis and cocaine to heroin.

Cocaine is a very addictive substance that has detrimental effects on the body and mind.

It increases levels of dopamine in the brain which means users tend to feel depressed if they are unable to consume when needed.

If you are facing a cocaine addiction in Essex, we urge you to reach out for our assistance.

The two most common types of rehabilitation treatment to help cocaine addictions are inpatient rehab and outpatient rehab in Essex.

We believe that addiction inpatient treatment is often the most effective treatment opportunity for those facing a cocaine addiction due to the intensity of care on offer.

Treatment is administered in a residential facility in Essex, meaning clients are free from distractions and triggers at all times.

Outpatient treatment may also be a possibility though it is important to remember that these treatment facilities do not monitor addiction patients as their rehab services are provided on a walk-in basis and so negative associations are much more common.

For those in Essex facing cannabis dependence, it can be more difficult to determine levels of addiction.

It is a psychologically addictive substance meaning there are no physical withdrawals when a user stops consuming, therefore no need for a cannabis detox.

In Essex and the surrounding areas, there are lots of specialist cannabis rehab clinics that take in addiction patients for around 4 weeks.

During this time, you will receive therapy to help treat the underlying causes of your addiction to cannabis and to maintain abstinence from further use.

Heroin, on the other hand, carries a risk of overdose with every single use.

It is a very powerful opiate that quickly causes one-time users to fall into addiction.

At Rehab 4 Addiction, we encourage those with heroin addictions to seek residential treatment at an inpatient rehab in Essex due to the challenges posed by withdrawals.

This isn’t to say that recovery [59] from heroin addiction is impossible, but rather that it requires maintained professional help to overcome.

Choosing a specialist heroin treatment clinic in Essex will be in your best interest and can help you achieve sobriety.

At rehab, you can also be treated whatever your addiction type [60] such as:

• Behavioural Addictions (Gambling addiction treatment, eating disorder treatment, porn addiction treatment, shopping addiction treatment, etc.)
• Binge Drinking [61]
• Opioid Use Disorder (Buprenorphine, Heroin and other opiate addiction problems)
• Cannabis Use Disorder
• Cocaine Dependence
• Codependency Disorders
• Crack Cocaine Addiction
• Ketamine Addiction

Other types of psychiatric treatment options that are available at a rehab facility in Essex include brief intervention, contingency management, coping mechanisms, and person-centred care.

For more information about the various addictions treated at rehabs in Essex, call our team on 0800 140 4690

Other treatment options – What are the alternatives to going to drug or alcohol rehab in Essex?

Paperwork being filled in at drug and alcohol rehab in Essex

Whilst a professional alcohol rehab facility in Essex will provide the most effective option for alcohol & drug addiction treatment & rehab, it is not always an option for everyone.

If you cannot commit to rehab at this current moment, some alternatives can prove beneficial such as:

• Recovery community support in Essex via Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), [62] Narcotics Anonymous (NA) [63] and Cocaine Anonymous (CA). [78] These community based support networks help to provide both peer support and structure to those at every stage of the treatment journey through weekly group meetings.
• Outpatient alcohol  rehab treatment in Essex via a drug and alcohol specialist team at a local medical facility or therapy centre.
• SMART Recovery [64] meetings in Essex, where the focus is on the addictive behaviour not on the substance and present/future stories, not past life stories.
• At-home detoxes with the support of a specialised alcohol rehab clinic.

• Al-Anon family group meetings in Essex offer support for families affected by alcohol addiction.
