Many people believe that they are unable to access potentially life-saving drug and alcohol rehab services due to a lack of funds.
However, you may be able to attend drug and alcohol rehab for free on the NHS. [1]
To increase your chances of receiving drug and alcohol rehab treatment in Hereford on the NHS, you will need to go through the proper process and complete each step of the application procedure.
This involves getting in touch with a local drug and alcohol support team who will apply to the council on your behalf – your GP may be able to connect you with the appropriate rehab support services.
You will likely be required to complete outpatient and community-based drug and alcohol rehab programmes such as a home detox as part of your application, to show your determination and drive to succeed in recovery.
It’s important to keep in mind that thousands of people in the UK apply for NHS-funded drug and alcohol rehab treatment every year.
As a result, not every application for drug and alcohol rehab treatment will be accepted.
Regardless, there are many NHS and other free drug and alcohol rehab services [2] available in and near Hereford, both through local NHS Foundation Trusts and independent addiction charities.
These exist outside the residential rehab system in Hereford and include:

In the addiction field, a detox is the process by which an individual removes all traces of a physically addictive substance from their body, often at a rehab or dedicated detox clinic in Hereford.
This is an intense, often uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous process even at drug and alcohol rehab, and yet in the case of certain addictions, it is essential.
Alcohol misuse, heroin addiction, other opioid use disorders and ketamine addiction all require a carefully managed detox in order to be successfully overcome.
Cocaine addiction, crack cocaine dependence, cannabis use disorder, and behavioural addictions such as gambling addiction, whilst still treated at drug and alcohol rehab in Hereford, do not require a detox.
This is because these substances do not create a physical dependence, meaning that there are no traces of the substance to be removed during the drug and alcohol rehab process, so therapy can begin straight away.
When an individual goes through the process of withdrawal from physically addictive substances, whether at rehab or not, they are likely to experience withdrawal symptoms.
In the case of heroin withdrawal or alcohol withdrawal syndrome, these can be particularly dangerous and require intense support and medical supervision whilst at drug and alcohol rehab in Hereford.
Some of the most common drug and alcohol withdrawal symptoms dealt with at rehab include:
To counteract these symptoms and make the recovery process more bearable, certain drug and alcohol rehab staff will be able to prescribe specialised medication.
This is referred to as a medically-assisted detox and is much safer and more effective than attempting to quit cold-turkey without attending drug and alcohol rehab or any other kind of medical support.
For alcohol detox, the benzodiazepine Chlordiazepoxide – better known as Librium – is widely used for this purpose at drug and alcohol rehab, helping to reduce both cravings and some of the more intense withdrawal symptoms.
In the case of heroin detox, Buprenorphine fulfils a similar role during drug and alcohol rehab recovery.

As mentioned above, there are countless different forms of therapy used to treat addiction at drug and alcohol rehab, each of which may or may not be suitable for every individual case.
Through drug and alcohol rehab in Hereford, individuals are able to try out a range of different therapy sessions, determining which are most effective and which may not be suitable for their situation.
Below is a list of some of the most common forms of talking therapies, psychotherapies and holistic therapies offered through drug and alcohol rehab:
Not every individual who progresses through drug and alcohol rehab in Hereford will experience every single one of these treatments, but they are likely to have come across a few of them or heard of them during their time in rehabilitation.
To experience all of these therapies and many more at a drug and alcohol rehab in Hereford, call us on 0800 140 4690
Though the treatment programmes offered through each NHS service and private rehab centre will differ, there are some key features that individuals should be aware of.
In general, individuals should look for the dual diagnosis approach to addiction treatment and rehab where possible.
In some cases, individuals suffering from addiction may experience a variety of mental health issues alongside the physical effects of their addiction, which can complicate rehab treatment further.
These mental health issues can include:
In addition, those suffering from extensive addiction issues are more likely to experience various physical conditions as a result, such as heart disease, liver failure and alcoholic hepatitis, all of which need consideration when planning drug and alcohol rehab treatment in Hereford.
The dual diagnosis approach values both physical and mental treatments equally and provides a flexible rehab programme in which an individual can address these problems in a focused manner.
You can also find general mental health support outside of the drug and alcohol rehab structure at Rethink Mental Illness, Papyrus, Young Minds, Samaritans and Mind UK.
Ensure that the drug and alcohol rehab in Hereford you choose also supports your mental health by calling us on 0800 140 4690
One of the most important stages of drug and alcohol rehab in Hereford is aftercare planning, where you prepare yourself for life after rehab.
These processes will equip you with everything you need to ensure that you maintain your sobriety once your time in formal rehab treatment has come to an end.
This might be advised to join a peer support group such as Alcoholics Anonymous, where you will continue to receive the social support and motivation that helps so many to stay sober, and where you can lean on a higher power when addiction seems overwhelming, or else further develop the cognitive skills and motivation techniques learned at drug and alcohol rehab in Hereford.
Such local groups in Hereford can include:
You may also be advised to partake in additional outpatient treatment – either through occasionally visiting your chosen rehab clinic, receiving treatment at a local service or engaging remotely – allowing you to continue progressing through whatever therapies you responded to best whilst at rehab in Hereford.
Before you leave your original drug and alcohol rehab clinic, staff will help you create a relapse prevention plan that will be a lynchpin in keeping you safe and sober once rehab treatment has concluded and you return home.
It will likely detail your addiction triggers, the various coping mechanisms you have developed at drug and alcohol rehab, what to do in case a relapse has occurred, your trusted contacts, as well as information pertaining to local support groups or sponsors.
