Are you struggling with addiction and substance abuse? Do you want to get help and recover, but you’re unsure where to start? You’ve come to the right place.
Rehab 4 Addiction is a specialist agency tasked with referring people to an appropriate treatment facility in their area. We can get you booked into a rehab facility in the Finchley area as soon as possible. We offer help and support across London and the South East.
Before reaching out for help, you need to take the crucial steps of acknowledging your own addiction, and accepting that you need professional help to recover from it.
Once you’re ready to do that, you can call Rehab 4 Addiction on 0800 140 4690 to speak confidentially with a trained advisor.
Once you call the number above, the first thing we will do is conduct a telephone assessment to identify your specific needs and goals around recovery, and refer you to a facility from there. This will be carried out in a compassionate, empathetic manner, and your information will be treated in strict confidence.
Once we have identified some key factors of your case, such as the severity, length, and impact of your addiction, we will be in a position to refer you to an appropriate rehab facility in the Finchley area.
This assessment is necessary due to the fact that recovery is not one-size-fits-all, and each centre emphasises different types of treatment. We need to determine which is right for you, and most likely to lead to a full recovery.
Quite simply, because everyone’s addictions are different. Aside from being addicted to different substances, all of which come with their own set of problems, every person in addiction will also have different triggers, and a different set of circumstances that led to addiction in the first place.
This is why, upon your arrival at a rehab facility, you will put together a truly personalised treatment plan, with the help of a mental health professional. They will consider your unique circumstances, and put together a schedule of therapies and activities according to your needs and goals.
It’s important that you treat this schedule with respect, and accept the idea that each new therapy can aid you in your recovery.
Yes, this is a possibility. While most rehab facilities exclusively deal with inpatients, there are centres that cater to outpatients. In practice, what this means is that you stay at home and travel to the rehab facility in the daytime.
Generally speaking, outpatient arrangements like this would likely not be suitable for those whose addiction ranges from moderate to extreme. Residential facilities would also likely be more appropriate for those with challenging issues at home, such as an abusive partner or unstable living conditions.
This is something that will be discussed fully during your telephone consultation, along with the potential timeframe and pricing of your treatment plan.
As mentioned above, one of the first things you will do when you arrive at rehab is put together a personalised treatment plan. This will likely involve group and individual therapies, as well as holistic activities such as yoga and mindfulness. The idea is that all of these different therapies are greater than the sum of their parts, and they will have an accumulative and positive effect in regards to your recovery.
Once you have put your treatment plan together, the next likely step will be to go into detox, in order to rid your body of the substances to which you are addicted. This will be overseen by a medical professional, which is vital – it is extremely dangerous to detox alone or to go cold turkey; in fact, it can often be fatal, especially when it comes to alcohol addiction.
It is likely that you will experience some unpleasant physical side effects while going through the detox process. Rest assured that this is temporary. The same can be said of the psychological and therapeutic treatments you will experience in rehab – although they may be painful in the short term, it will be of great benefit in the long-term.
We know that stepping out into the world after completing rehab can be just as daunting as entering rehab in the first place. Rest assured, the professionals at your facility are mindful of this too.
As you come to the end of your experience at a rehab facility, you will have an opportunity to sit down with a mental health professional and draw up a relapse prevention plan. The aim of this exercise is to consolidate all that you have learned in rehab so far, and use that to give you the best possible chance of recovery going forward.
There is a possibility that this plan might involve making some challenging decision, such as removing an old friend from your life, if they are likely to endanger your recovery. Remember that your long-term recovery is the most important thing.
There are a number of different rehab facilities available to you in the Finchley area. We find that most service users prefer to stay close to home, as it makes it easier to maintain their support network.
Staying close to home also provides the opportunity for different kinds of therapy, such as family-led counselling sessions. Rest assured, this will only be recommended if it’s entirely appropriate for your specific recovery plan.
We hope the above information was helpful to you, and that you now have a better idea of what to expect from the process, and how we can help you through it.
If you’re in the headspace where you’re ready to acknowledge your addiction problems and commit to positive change, call Rehab 4 Addiction today on 0800 140 4690, and take the first steps into your new life of sobriety.
