How Do I Know if I Need to go to Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Halifax and near Halifax?

Knowing how to identify when your use of a substance may have turned into addiction can be difficult.

Addiction can impact both your physical health and mental health, your finances, home management and social and work lives. It can also cause some conflict in your relationships with others.

If you think you or a loved one may be experiencing addiction, it may be helpful to think about these questions:

  • Do you drink (or use substances) early in the morning to make it through the day?
  • Do you think you should cut down on your drinking (or use of substances)?
  • Do you ever feel angry or judged if people criticise your drinking (or use of substances)?
  • Do you ever feel guilty about your drinking (or use of substances)?

These are questions from the CAGE questionnaire. If the answer to any of these questions is ‘yes’ this indicates that you may be experiencing an addiction. [3]

Steps to Take Before Rehab

Assessment

The first stage of accessing treatment at drug and alcohol rehab in Halifax or near Halifax is to have an assessment.

During an initial assessment, you will meet with an appropriate clinician to discuss your current use of substances, the impact is having on your life, and potential next steps in seeking help.

After this stage, you may be able to discuss your options for different kinds of support and be formally referred to an appropriate service.

After this, a thorough and personalised treatment plan for your care at a drug and alcohol rehab in Halifax can be created for you.

Decide What Kind of Treatment May Work for You in or near Halifax

One of the main decisions to help you choose what kind of drug and alcohol rehab in Halifax to attend is whether to access inpatient or outpatient support.

Both inpatient and outpatient forms of addiction treatment are available at drug and alcohol rehab in Halifax.

Here is some information on the differences between the two kinds of care:

Inpatient Rehab / Residential Rehab

Inpatient rehab requires you to temporarily move into a treatment facility for the duration of your recovery programme.

This means staying in a residential centre 24/7 and staying overnight whilst you access your care.

The benefits of an inpatient programme:

  • Round-the-clock access to medical professionals, therapists and other addiction specialists
  • The opportunity to focus your full attention on your wellbeing to kickstart your recovery process
  • The ability to engage with other members of the recovery community [4]

Outpatient Rehab / Community Rehab

Outpatient rehab works around you accessing care from home or in the community.

This means that you do not need to change your living arrangements or temporarily move into an addiction recovery clinic to receive your care.

The benefits of an outpatient programme include:

  • The ability to continue your usual commitments (employment, social life and family engagements, hobbies, etc)
  • The opportunity to stay in full contact and access increased support from your community network (family and friends)
  • Often, this form of treatment is less expensive [5]

The choice between inpatient and outpatient care is personal and can be made to fit your specific situation and lifestyle.

Ultimately, both forms of addiction treatment will allow you to access support from psychological professionals and medical staff with the aim of returning to a life of sobriety (or moderation, depending on your situation and goals for your recovery programme).

NHS Rehab / Private Rehab

The second main decision to help you choose what kind of drug and alcohol rehab in Halifax to attend is whether to access NHS or private support.

Both private and NHS forms of addiction treatment are available at drug and alcohol rehab in Halifax.

Here is some information on the differences between the two kinds of care:

1. NHS Rehab in or near Halifax

NHS rehab refers to any treatment offered by the National Health Service with the goal of treating addiction issues.

The benefits of NHS rehab include:

  • It is available at no cost
  • It is arranged for you through care practitioners (via a GP referral)
  • You will have access to a range of treatments available on the NHS

2. Private Rehab in or near Halifax

Private rehab refers to any treatment that is offered by a private body (not the NHS) with the goal of treating addiction issues

The benefits of Private rehab include:

  • You can self-refer, and therefore potentially access support sooner
  • You may have greater choice over the kind of support you receive
  • There is likely to be less of a waiting list

Ultimately, both forms of addiction treatment will allow you to access support from psychological professionals and medical staff with the aim of returning to a life of sobriety (or moderation, depending on your situation and goals for your recovery programme).

How Much Does Rehab Cost?

The price of drug and alcohol rehab in Halifax will depend on the kind of treatment you access.

The cost will change depending on if you are accessing help as an inpatient or outpatient, through the NHS or through a specialist private provider.

On average, residential rehab will cost around £495 a day, which works out at £14,000 a week.

There are centres that charge less than this (around £1,000 for a week of treatment) and centres that charge much more (around £10,000 for a week of treatment).

There are also deluxe options available at drug and alcohol rehab in Halifax and wider.

These are the kinds of places attended by celebrities that offer luxury add-ons like private chefs, additional security teams and on-site spas.

These kinds of centres can cost up to £73,000 for 30 days of treatment. [6]

If you have any questions or concerns about funding your stay at a drug and alcohol rehab in Halifax, Rehab 4 Addiction can help discuss your options with you.

How Do I Pay for Rehab?

NHS drug and alcohol rehab in Halifax is funded on your behalf.

However, if you access private rehab, you may need to cover the costs of your treatment yourself.

Some of the ways you can do this include:

  • Payment plans arranged directly with your addiction rehab centre
  • Assistance from insurance providers
  • Support from family or friends
  • Raising money through fundraising

What Types of Addiction are There?

Addiction comes in many different forms.

Whilst substance abuse is characteristic of many addictions and is perhaps the most common, there are also kinds of addiction that do not involve drugs.

The team at Rehab 4 Addiction are equipped to assist you with a range of different addictions, including:

How Does Rehab Work?

rehab-clinic-2

Drug and alcohol rehab in Halifax (and beyond) tends to work in two main stages:

  1. Detoxification (medical care)
  2. Therapy (psychological care)

Alcohol and Drug Detox

People in circle holding hands

Detox is short for detoxification and refers to the process of ridding the body of a specific substance.

A detox is required to treat addictions to substances that have physically addictive qualities.

However, not all drugs are physically addictive – some are solely psychologically addictive. This means that the body has no reaction to withdrawing from a substance as the substances do not cause physical dependence. [7]

Drugs that do not require a detox phase of treatment include:

Drugs that do require a detox phase of treatment include:

Two of the most prevalent physically addictive drugs are alcohol and heroin.

Alcohol Withdrawal

Diverse people in a support group

Withdrawing from alcohol can be a dangerous process.

During alcohol detox, you may experience the following:

  • Anxiety
  • Hallucinations
  • Tremors
  • Sickness or vomiting
  • Shaking
  • Sweating
  • Seizures

These symptoms can be assisted through the use of regulated detox medications such as librium, which works to ease the process of alcohol withdrawal. [8]

Heroin Withdrawal

During Heroin withdrawal, you may experience the following:

  • Muscle pain
  • Sickness or vomiting
  • Restlessness/ difficulty staying still
  • Insomnia/difficulty sleeping
  • Goosebumps

These symptoms can be assisted through the use of regulated detox medications such as methadone, which works to ease the process of alcohol withdrawal. [9]

Detoxing Safely

To ensure your safety, any detox you may experience (whether in a residential drug and alcohol rehab in Halifax or at home) will be closely monitored by medical staff.

Whilst detoxing at home, you will be regularly visited by appropriate clinicians throughout the withdrawal process so any risks to your physical and mental health can be managed and treated accordingly. [10]

How Long will I Stay in Rehab?

What if I have additional Needs?

Everyone is different, which means that it is not uncommon to have additional needs. Drug and alcohol rehab in Halifax are able to make provisions to make sure that your care is designed for you as an individual.

1. Mental Health, Addiction and Dual Diagnosis

Mental health and addiction are very closely linked.

This means that is not uncommon for people struggling with addiction to also deal with mental health issues.

Having one or more diagnoses whilst dealing with addiction is referred to as dual diagnosis. It can sometimes be referred to as  co-morbid or co-occurring conditions.

Frequent mental health conditions experienced by individuals in addiction treatment include:

2. Rehab for Specific Groups

Rehab 4 Addiction also realise that accessing treatment can be increasingly difficult for specific groups. For this reason, Rehab 4 Addiction offers specialist modes of care for different demographics.

These include:

What is Aftercare?
