Medically reviewed by Dr Iqbal Mohiuddin MBBS BSc, PGCME Addiction is a terrible disease that can come in many different forms and can affect people from all walks of life.
Whether you’re seeking help for binge drinking, uncontrolled drug use or even a behavioural addiction, help is always available.
Defeating a drug or alcohol addiction is not easy, but the path to recovery is made considerably easier with the right help.
Leeds has gained widespread recognition for the quality of alcohol rehabilitation services on offer.
Patients come from far afield in order to take advantage of the alcohol rehabilitation services offered in Leeds.

Our partner Leeds alcohol rehab centres offer residential treatment. This means patients live in the centre for the entire length of treatment.
Outside ‘influences’ are removed during this period.
This means patients cannot simply ‘hook’ themselves up with more alcohol or drugs whilst undergoing treatment as is often the case during outpatient programmes.
Find out for yourself just how effective residential drug and alcohol rehab in and around Leeds is by calling us today on 0800 140 4690
The admissions process into a Leeds drug and alcohol rehab could not be easier.
Contact us today and we shall carry out an assessment to determine the best way forward for you or your loved one.
We carry out a short telephone assessment and then go about recommending alcohol rehabs in Leeds that are best suited to your needs, right down to the types of therapies on offer to the type of accommodation you require.
These assessments are shorter, less formal versions of the comprehensive psychiatric assessments that you are likely to experience whilst at alcohol rehab.
These longer assessments allow recovery specialists and an attendant psychiatrist to develop an effective person-centred care plan that is designed for your unique needs.
Some of the most common of these assessments include the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), [1] the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – Fifth Edition (DSM -5) criteria, [2] the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria [3] and the CAGE Questionnaire. [4]
Rehabs in Leeds are suitable for a wide range of addictions, such as cocaine, heroin, alcohol, cannabis, prescription drugs and gambling. Rehabs offer a range of alcohol rehab programmes.
The shortest amount of time you may spend in alcohol rehab is 7 days, although you can opt to spend up to 90 days in rehab.

Anyone who has problems with substance abuse and addiction is suitable for alcohol rehab.
Still, there are different types of alcohol rehab to choose from, the main difference being outpatient vs. inpatient care.
Outpatients attend alcohol rehab by day but will stay at home at night, whereas inpatients will stay at alcohol rehab for the duration of rehab, eating and sleeping at the clinic.
A lot of people during the consultation stage will ask us about the possibility of attending alcohol rehab as an outpatient.
However, this is only appropriate for some, and there is plenty of people for whom residential alcohol rehab is the only viable option for treatment. This includes:
If any of the statements listed above apply to you, then a home detox or outpatient alcohol rehab would not be advisable.
This is because the risk factor of staying at home is simply too high, and your recovery would be best suited to a secure, controlled clinical environment such as residential alcohol rehab.
Still not sure whether a drug and alcohol rehab in Leeds is right for you? Call us today on 0800 140 4690
All of the clinics that we refer people to are private clinics, meaning that there is always a cost involved for treatment.
We understand that this may be a concern, particularly for those with a limited budget.
However, there is no need to worry – if you cannot currently afford to book a place at private alcohol rehab, there are public-funded services available free of charge.
There are pros and cons to choosing between public and private treatment.
The obvious advantage of going through public services is that you will not have to pay for your alcohol rehab treatment.
The disadvantages are that you may have to wait a long time on a list before receiving treatment, and you will not have as much say over the type of treatment and accommodation that you receive.
The drawback of private care is that it is a significant financial investment.
On the other hand, it does mean that you will likely have access to a higher standard of treatment, care, and accommodation.
Crucially, going private also means that you can start your treatment as soon as you are ready, rather than having to wait on a list before being seen.
This can be a lifeline to those with severe substance abuse problems who are doing themselves a great deal of damage.
If the cost of private alcohol rehab is of concern to you, we can provide free advice on how to make alcohol rehab more affordable.
This includes exploring any finance options that you have open to you, as well as making you aware of the various different treatment packages available on the private alcohol rehab market.

If you are a problem drinker, being able to go through detoxification under medical supervision is one of the main benefits of alcohol rehab.
This is because there is a great danger involved with going ‘cold turkey’ and withdrawing from alcohol alone.
With the unsupervised withdrawal, there is a high risk of seizures and other serious health complications.
This risk becomes greater the more units the person has been drinking per day, and the longer they have been drinking.
Alcohol detoxification at alcohol rehab is usually carried out with the use of a medication called Librium.
This is a sedative medication that is used to diminish the physical symptoms and anxiety associated with alcohol withdrawal.
Librium is also used in the case of home detoxification, but this approach is only available to people who are consuming fewer than 30 units of alcohol per day.
Some clinics offer a so-called ‘wet’ detoxification, whereby the patient does not stop drinking straight away, and the amount of alcohol that they can consume lessens every day, before coming to a complete stop.
Again, this needs to be carefully managed by professionals.
During your telephone consultation, we can explore what kind of detox might be most suitable for you.
Don’t take the risk of an unmanaged alcohol withdrawal – get the help you need from a drug and alcohol rehab in Leeds by calling our team on 0800 140 4690
The price of drug and alcohol rehab varies depending upon the centres you select, the amount of time you stay at the rehab and whether you opt to sleep in a single or multiple occupancy room.
Fortunately, there are a range of options.
If you opt for a 10-day detoxification 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 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 detoxification, then you may save money, but you will not be shielded from temptations.
However, home detoxifications do work for many people. Expect to pay around £1,500 for a home detoxification.
We may inform you of the exact prices of alcohol rehabs in your local area.

Alcoholism is by far the most common form of addiction in Leeds, or elsewhere in the UK.
Alcoholism is a physical addiction.
If you suddenly cease to drink alcohol when you are alcohol-dependent, you will begin to experience alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
On the physical side, you can expect:
On the mental side, you could face:
To help you overcome these symptoms, alcohol rehabs in Leeds will prescribe you specific medications.
Chlordiazepoxide (Librium) is one of the most common medications used, which is a type of benzodiazepine that can effectively counteract alcohol withdrawal syndrome, providing you with a much safer medically-assisted detoxification.
Alcohol withdrawal symptoms typically require between 7-10 days to fully overcome.
Many alcohol rehabs in Leeds will not allow you to begin treatment unless you are willing to commit at least 10 days to your treatment programme in residential/inpatient settings.
Once the detoxification process is complete, you can stay in a Leeds alcohol rehab for up to 28 days.
Once withdrawal symptoms have been treated, the focus of treatment shifts to treating the underlying emotional causes of addiction.
To achieve this aim, modern evidence-based treatments are utilised.
Beat your addiction with the help of an alcohol rehab in Leeds by calling our team today on 0800 140 4690
Cocaine is a highly addictive stimulant. Long-term effects of cocaine use include panic attacks, anxiety and depression.
If you are living in Leeds and worried about your own or a loved one’s cocaine use, know that help is at hand.
Although neither cocaine nor crack cocaine are physically addictive, they are both psychologically addictive.
When you enter a cocaine rehab clinic, you will be removed from temptations and ‘addiction’ triggers that would otherwise complicate the process of ceasing to use cocaine.
Rehabs expose you to a range of evidence-based treatments such as contingency management, cognitive behavioural therapy and trigger management techniques to help you break free from cocaine use for the long term.
Therapy sessions take place both in group settings and in individual therapy, allowing you to effectively tackle whatever underlying causes have driven your cocaine dependence.
Tackle your cocaine addiction with the help of a drug and alcohol rehab in Leeds – give our team a call on 0800 140 4690
Heroin, a semi-synthetic drug made from morphine, is highly addictive.
If you are a heroin user living in Leeds, then know it is possible to live your life with heroin and other opioids. Heroin is physically addictive.
This means powerfully discomforting withdrawal symptoms will be experienced when you cease to use heroin.
Rehabs in Leeds off medications to help you safely endure heroin withdrawal and minimise these dangerous symptoms.
Drugs such as Subutex (Buprenorphine) and Naltrexone are utilised for this purpose.
Buprenorphine is itself an opioid, although one with little abuse potential.

Cannabis is too often referred to as a harmless drug, which is simply not true.
Although overdosing on cannabis is not possible, there are a number of chronic health problems associated with long-term cannabis use.
These include increased risk of depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia.
The psychoactive effects of cannabis can also cause a person to become socially withdrawn and apathetic, which can make any mental health problems much worse.
Cannabis use disorder has the ability to ruin lives, and if that has happened to you, it is time to consider rehab.
With the help of mental health and recovery professionals, you can explore and address any underlying issues that may be driving you towards cannabis use in the first place.

The term dual-diagnosis reflects the fact addiction is almost never a condition that exists in isolation.
In fact, substance misuse is typically something that a person resorts to in order to ‘self-medicate’ mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.
If the substance is removed, it’s important for the underlying mental health condition to be factored into the treatment process.
Identifying the exact co-occurring mental health issues is important in ensuring your recovery is not short-lived once you leave the alcohol rehab clinics for care.
Conditions that commonly present alongside addiction include:
Once a dual diagnosis is made, a range of evidence-based therapies are utilised to help reduce or better manage their associated symptoms.
You can also find general mental health support at Rethink Mental Illness, Papyrus, Young Minds, Samaritans and Mind UK.
There are several physical ailments that also may impact your recovery and would need to be considered during treatment, including heart issues, liver failure, alcoholic hepatitis and even various cancers.

There are many different approaches to addiction therapy, from traditional talking therapies to psychiatric treatments and holistic therapies.
Therapy techniques offered at Leeds alcohol rehab centres include:
Centres typically offer en-suite facilities.
This means patients do not share living quarters with other patients. Centres also offer luxuries such as a steam room, hot tub and Jacuzzi.
Relaxation is essential during therapy so centres are set up to promote a relaxing and comfortable environment.
Patients are permitted to take along a laptop and/or a mobile and alcohol rehab centres offer WIFI access.

Once the patients’ alcohol rehabilitation programme has concluded a programme of aftercare is provided.
Aftercare continues for up to 18 months after alcohol rehabilitation has concluded.
One of the most important tasks you will complete at alcohol rehab is to put together your relapse prevention plan.
This will take place in the last few days that you are at alcohol rehab, with the help of one of the professionals on site.
The idea is to consolidate everything you have learned while at alcohol rehab and put it into a plan of action so that you can minimise your risk of relapse once you leave.
This might require you to make some difficult decisions for the sake of your own well-being.
For example, if you are friends with someone who is still in active addiction, you would probably be advised to cut ties with that person, at least until they are in recovery as well.
Likewise, if you are recovering from alcoholism, you would likely be required to keep away from places likes bars, pubs, and other places that serve alcohol.
Relapse prevention isn’t just about reactive steps, though – it will require you to be proactive in terms of your own recovery.
This might involve going to regular group meetings going forward, perhaps at Alcoholics Anonymous or equivalent, as well as building on your own coping mechanisms for addiction triggers.
Ongoing recovery requires ongoing work and focus – the more proactive you are, the better your chances of long-term recovery.

Is vital to understand that residential alcohol rehab is not your only option.
It’s also possible to undertake a home detoxification if you are alcohol-dependent.
Although this is not free, it can result in considerable savings compared to residential alcohol rehab.
At Rehab 4 Addiction, we offer home detoxification packages, and you can contact us today to find out how to begin this process.
Another option is to seek out the support of a local drug and alcohol action group operating through a local NHS Foundation Trust.
You can either refer yourself or seek a GP referral.
However, this typically does not entail residential treatment. Instead, you will be offered either free information or group sessions.
You can learn more about group therapy here.
You may also be able to access funding for residential treatment via one of these organisations but expect to be met with tough criteria to succeed with your application.

Such meetings utilise the 12-step approach. This is largely spiritual in nature, encouraging individuals to lean on a higher power when addiction seems overwhelming.
