Rehab is an umbrella term for addiction support.

This means that there are lots of different kinds of treatment options available depending on your specific needs.

Identifying Addiction

It is understandably difficult to know when we may be addicted to something. When something has been in our lives for some time, we can sometimes minimise the impact it has on our lives and well-being.

If you are concerned that you or a loved one are dealing with addiction, here are some signs of addiction that you can look out for:

  • Physical health issues related to your use of drugs or alcohol
  • Mental health strain related to your use of drugs or alcohol (anxiety, depression, stress, anger, etc)
  • Difficulties in relationships related to your use of drugs or alcohol (friendships, family relationships, romantic relationships, etc)
  • Difficulties in your professional or work life related to your use of drugs or alcohol (struggling to meet deadlines or stay in employment, conflict at work, etc)
  • Difficulties in your academic life related to your use of drugs or alcohol (struggling to meet deadlines, missing exams, conflict at school, etc)
  • Difficulties with home management related to your use of drugs or alcohol (cooking, cleaning, general maintenance of your home, etc)
  • Difficulties in your financial life related to your use of drugs or alcohol (overspending on substances, missing rent or bill payments, needing to borrow money consistently, etc) [3]

NHS Treatment in Hertfordshire

NHS treatment for addiction is any form of medical care – psychological or physical – that you access at drug and alcohol rehab in Herford through the National Health Service.

The benefits of NHS Addiction Treatment

  • It is free to access
  • Your care will be arranged on your behalf by an appropriate medical professional
  • You will receive at least one primary course of treatment

Private Treatment in Hertfordshire

Private treatment for addiction is any form of medical care – psychological or physical – that you access at drug and alcohol rehab in Herford through an independent provider.

The Benefits of Private Addiction Treatment 

  • You are likely to have more control over the kind of care you access
  • You are less likely to be on a lengthy waiting list
  • You can self-refer regardless of your situation (there are no strict criteria to who can access a rehab centre and when)

Inpatient Treatment in Hertfordshire

Inpatient treatment (or residential treatment) is any form of medical care – psychological or physical – that you access at a residential centre during drug and alcohol rehab in Hertford.

During inpatient rehab, you will be expected to temporarily change your living arrangements, and stay in the residential rehab overnight for the duration of your care.

The Benefits of Inpatient Addiction Treatment

  • Less access to substances means less temptation
  • Allows you to have a 24/7 focus on your recovery and wellbeing without outside distractions
  • 24/7 access to support from appropriate clinicians [4]

Outpatient Treatment in Hertfordshire

Outpatient treatment (or community treatment) is any form of medical care – psychological or physical – that you access whilst staying in your usual living arrangements during drug and alcohol rehab in Hertford.

During outpatient rehab, you will not be expected to temporarily change your living arrangements, and your rehab services will be accessed on an appointment basis.

The Benefits of Outpatient Addiction Treatment

  • Allows you to stay in the comfort of your own home
  • It often costs less
  • Allows you to maintain your usual commitments (to work, family, etc) [5]

Supporting Specific Groups

Group therapy - teens - black and white

Addiction is a disease that does not discriminate. This means that anyone, from all walks of life, can develop an addiction.

However, there are some groups who are either disproportionately impacted by addiction, or potentially have a greater number of barriers between them and accessing appropriate and comfortable support.

For this reason, drug and alcohol rehab in Hertford offer specific groups specialised care to suit their needs and increase their ability to access care in a way that feels safe.

This includes:

Dual Diagnosis

Walking outside

It is not uncommon for individuals dealing with substance misuse to also have a diagnosis of one or more mental health conditions.

Often, this may be because self-medicating to alleviate symptoms of distress can lead to alcohol or drug dependency.

Some frequent dual diagnoses for individuals seeking drug or alcohol rehabilitation include:

If you have a dual diagnosis, it is important that you disclose this to the medical professionals involved in your care.

Doing this will allow them to tailor the rehab process to better suit your psychological needs – related to both your diagnosis and your addiction –  and increase the likelihood of successful long-term recovery.

How Much Does Rehab Cost?

On average, a 28-day stay at a private residential rehab will cost approximately £14,000.

The price range can fluctuate, with treatment ranging from £1,000 to around the £10,000 price point for a week of support at a residential rehab facility.

Deluxe residential centres are also available. These facilities are usually attended by celebrities as they often offer luxury add-ons and can cost anywhere up to £73,000 for 30 days of care. [7]

How Do I Finance Rehab?

Rehab-house

The cost of residential rehab can be a concern for many people. However, there are ways that you can finance the cost of rehab.

If you access support via the NHS, you will not be required to fund your care.

If you access to support through a private rehab clinic, here are some ways that you can cover the costs of treatment:

  • Pre-arranged payment plans (paying in chunks)
  • Support from your health insurance provider (this will vary from policy to policy, so it is important to check with your provider first)
  • Support from family and friends
  • Fundraising

What Can I Expect to Happen in Rehab?

Below are the 4 levels of care offered at a drug and alcohol rehab in Hertford:

  1. Assessment
  2. Detox
  3. Therapy
  4. Aftercare

Beginning Treatment: Assessment

The assessment stage will mainly consist of a screening and a discussion about your different addiction treatment options.

Then, you can decide with your care team as to what type of drug and alcohol rehab in Hertford will work for you.

Medical Treatment: Detox

A detox is the process of the body ridding itself of a specific substance.

A detox will help you to alleviate some of the physical cravings or desire to use a substance. Once the body no longer has the substance in its system, you can get used to functioning without it.

It is important to note that not all treatment plans will include a detox.

This is because not all substances are physically addictive. Some drugs are solely psychologically addictive.

During the adjustment period, it is highly likely that you will experience withdrawal symptoms.

These can be psychological or physical. Due to this, you will have continuous medical assessments throughout the process to ensure your health and safety.

The kinds of withdrawal symptoms you experience will depend on the substance you are having a medical detox from.

Often, you will be offered a medically assisted detox.

This is when you are prescribed specific medications to help your body to cope with withdrawal symptoms.

The medications you are administered are classed as prescription medication.

The types of medication used during the detox process are legal, controlled and medically safe to use, and will be managed by trained staff.

Depending on your situation, you may be able to access a home detox.

Drug and alcohol rehab in Hertfordshire offers detox treatment as part of inpatient and outpatient care packages. If you access medical detoxification in a rehab centre, then you will have access to 24/7 round-the-clock care.

If you access medical detoxification at home, then you will be monitored by medical professionals who will visit you to ensure that you are mentally and physically well throughout. [7]
