If you are concerned about a friend, family or other loved one that may be battling a drug or alcohol addiction, you may wish to look into professional intervention services in Leicestershire that we have on offer here at Rehab 4 Addiction.
If you choose to take advantage of these services to help a loved one who may be suffering but is refusing to seek help, a professional interventionist will be able to guide you both throughout the process.
They will help you all to create boundaries that you will have to stand by if the person refuses help.
They will also support you as you create speeches or write letters for your loved one’s intervention, and they will help you to understand addiction in general and the various services available in Leicestershire.
This can help you understand your loved ones and what they are going through at this difficult time.
A professional interventionist will also stay around even if your loved one denies the offer of help after the intervention.
They will work with the family until a positive ending is found, where they will then escort your loved one into the chosen rehab treatment facility in Leicestershire to take the next steps towards their substance-free life.
Another route to take to help a loved one finally receive the rehab treatment that they need is by taking the CRAFT approach to intervention.
Community Reinforcement And Family Training (CRAFT) [2] is an approach for families and friends of a substance-dependent person.
CRAFT is about learning new and more effective methods of communication and better ways to take care of your loved one – and yourself.
CRAFT follows a few strategies in order to get the affected individual to finally seek professional help.
These strategies are:
CRAFT can be altered to fit the particular dynamic and needs of the family.

If you are experiencing any mental health issues as well as your substance addiction – known as a dual diagnosis – you will be more suited to residential drug and alcohol rehab in Leicestershire over other addiction rehab treatment options.
This includes if you are suffering from a mental health disorder like obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD) or post traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) that could intervene with your recovery at home, which would stop you from confidently being able to perform a self-detox without any medical intervention.
A residential programme in a drug and alcohol rehab rehabilitation in Leicestershire would also be recommended for you if your addiction and co-occurring mental health condition has led you to have suicidal thoughts.
This is so that the staff at your chosen drug and alcohol rehab in Leicestershire can monitor you closely and ensure you are comfortable and safe throughout your recovery journey.
Though rehab can be beneficial to anyone experiencing a drug or alcohol addiction, at any severity, it is more suited to you if you are consuming more than 30 units of alcohol a day or are using certain opioids.
If, when you do become intoxicated or high, you become violent or are known to lash out at loved ones, rehab in Leicestershire is also the best option for you.
It will ensure that you are in the safest place possible for your detox and recovery.
To find out for certain if rehab in Leicestershire is right for you, call us on 0800 140 4690
In order to ensure you are placed in the right facility in Leicestershire and receive the most suitable rehab treatment, you will undergo a few simple assessments throughout the admissions process.
These short evaluations will allow us to create the most appropriate treatment plan that will guide you during your time in a drug and alcohol rehab in Leicestershire.
We will assess you by using either the criteria of the DSM-5, or by the six dimensions of The ASAM Criteria – or both if necessary.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), [3] is known as the gold standard criteria for mental health and was created with the help of hundreds of experts on the subject.
The DSM-5 has eleven criteria based on years of research that can help in diagnosing substance use disorder (SUD) and other forms of addiction.
It also has guidelines for medical professionals that can aid in determining how serious a SUD is, depending on the number of symptoms that are present in the individual.
One or two suggest a mild SUD, three or four indicate a more moderate SUD, and six or more imply the existence of a serious SUD, which can be referred to as an addiction.
The six dimensions of The ASAM Criteria, created by the American Society of Addiction Medicine, [4] can also help us decide what rehab treatment and care are needed for our clients, by assessing them on each dimension.
The dimensions are:
These are just two of the many different psychiatric assessments used at rehab, with some of the most popular others being the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) [5] and the CAGE Questionnaire. [6]
These tests allow a psychiatrist and recovery specialists to create a bespoke, person-centred care plan, made up of physical and psychiatric rehab treatments that work for your needs.

We understand that cost can be a huge factor to consider when deciding on your addiction rehab treatment in Leicestershire.

Though prices of outpatient treatment, at-home detoxes (home alcohol rehab) and drug and alcohol rehab in Leicestershire can vary depending on the time you need to complete rehab treatment, the seriousness of your condition and the type of room in rehab you decide on, the average prices for treatment are:

If you are concerned about the high cost of drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Leicestershire, you can always opt instead for free options via council-funded rehab treatment.
Like any option for addiction care and drug addiction treatment, each path comes with its own benefits and drawbacks.
Private rehab offers:
Sometimes private programmes will even stay with you for a year or more after your rehab journey has come to an end.
Council-funded rehab treatment in Leicestershire has its own benefits too, such as:
However, free treatment also comes with a few disadvantages that are avoided through private rehab in Leicestershire.

When you attend your chosen drug and alcohol rehab in Leicestershire, it is likely you will need to undergo a detox.
This means that you will be facing withdrawal symptoms, which in the case of alcohol addiction or alcoholism (alcohol abuse) can include:
For those suffering from alcohol addiction, you are most likely to face a Librium-based medically-assisted detox over the course of ten days.
Librium, formally known as Chlordiazepoxide, is a form of benzodiazepine which has a relaxing and sedative-like impact on feelings of anxiety.
It also helps control nervous activity, meaning it is helpful when you are facing alcohol withdrawal syndrome and your body is experiencing a lack of the chemicals it has become accustomed to receiving.
After your detox, a further three weeks at a rehab in Leicestershire can be scheduled for additional therapy to treat the root causes and emotional side effects of your addiction.
During this time you will be able to focus more on counselling and multiple forms of therapy, you will learn new coping mechanisms, and you will be able to take part in recovery relapse prevention planning and trigger identification.
These will help you maintain your recovery progress when your time in rehab draws to a conclusion and will give you the necessary knowledge to continue living your substance-free life.

It is likely that you have considered detoxing from alcohol at home in Leicestershire.
Though this is a viable option for some, many clients with more serious alcohol addictions, or those that have been drinking for years, will not be recommended to perform a self-detox.
Not to be confused with a home detox (a detox you perform at home but under the guidance of medical professionals), a self-detox is a detox performed completely alone, with no intervention from any professional.
Being alone and having no support from an outside source only heightens the risks that are already present during a detox.
If detox is rushed, or one is performed simply without the proper medical knowledge on the subject, it could be fatal for the affected individual.
Make sure your detox is as safe as possible with the help of a drug and alcohol rehab in Leicestershire by calling us today on 0800 140 4690
The safer alternative to a self-detox, home detox is recommended for those who have proven to be capable of withdrawing at home, and have no mental health disorders or environmental problems that could be detrimental to their detox attempt.
Home detox is also only suggested as a viable option if you are consuming less than 30 units of alcohol a day, and you have been assessed by a psychiatrist and shown not to be high risk.
If you pass the criteria needed, you will be prescribed the necessary medication (usually Librium) and will be able to begin your alcohol detox from the comfort of your own home in Leicestershire.
You will be contacted by phone each day of your detox to ensure you are staying on track, still in good health, and do not require any more intervention.
To find out if you would be able to access a home detox, or to access a drug and alcohol rehab in Leicestershire instead, call us today on 0800 140 4690
In 2013, almost 6 per cent of admissions into rehab and other drug abuse programmes was for the use of cocaine.
Cocaine is a very powerful and addictive stimulant, which only makes it harder to withdraw from once you are experiencing cocaine addiction.
Because cocaine is usually combined and cut with other substances, it is often consumed in different strengths each time – but even a small amount can be incredibly dangerous.
Luckily, a suitable drug and alcohol rehab in Leicestershire will be ready and able to treat you for your cocaine dependence or crack cocaine addiction and can lead you towards a full recovery.
To get your cocaine recovery journey started at a drug and alcohol reha in Leicestershire, call our team on 0800 140 4690
Cannabis remains one of the most used substances in the UK today and is known for offering users feelings of calm, relaxation, and tranquillity.
Though it is often deemed as a non-dangerous drug, cannabis – also referred to as marijuana or ‘weed’ – can have some adverse consequences, and around 10% of those who use it end up developing an addiction to the substance.
Cannabis can impact your central nervous system, cause paranoia, an increased appetite, and a distorted perception of your surroundings.
It is time to reach out for help for cannabis use disorder if you find it to be negatively impacting your performance at school or at work, or if it is beginning to interfere with any relationships with loved ones.

As heroin enters the body, it is known to bring with it a sudden ‘pleasurable sensation’.
This rush is unfortunately accompanied by nausea, vomiting, a dry mouth, extreme itching, and many other damaging – and sometimes fatal – side effects.
Heroin is a hugely addictive opioid drug made from morphine, which is incredibly difficult to withdraw and recover from without the right professional help and guidance.
In your drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Leicestershire, you will have the chance to undergo a heroin detox and receive appropriate medication which can help ease the withdrawal symptoms and any cravings you experience.
This could involve a wide range of different medications, but typically uses Buprenorphine, which is also used to treat a range of other opioid use disorders.
To get your heroin recovery journey started at a drug and alcohol reha in Leicestershire, call our team on 0800 140 4690
Whatever rehab treatment you participate in will be determined by the assessments you undergo during the admissions process at drug and alcohol rehab in Leicestershire.
However, you are likely to encounter some common forms of therapy and counselling whichever rehab you end up at, such as:
These are just some of the many therapies available at drug rehabilitation and alcohol rehab in Leicestershire, with others including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, Brief Interventions, Codependency Treatment and Contingency Management.

Relapse prevention is a hugely important step in your rehabilitation journey.
As your time in your chosen drug and alcohol rehab in Leicestershire comes to its conclusion, you will be forced to prepare for your return home.
To help ease this challenging adjustment, a relapse prevention plan is created.
This plan will look at your past with withdrawal and substance use, the particular substance you use, and whether or not there are any factors and triggers at home that could impact your recovery goals.
This data then allows you and the team at your rehabilitation centre in Leicestershire to create and put in place plans that will hopefully prevent a relapse from occurring.
A relapse action plan can also be created for you, which will guide you on what you need to know and do in the event a relapse does occur.
Remember, even if you do experience a relapse, this is not the end of your journey, and recovery and long-lasting substance-free life can still be found.

A dual diagnosis describes the existence of both a drug or alcohol addiction and a co-occurring mental health disorder.
Those with dual diagnosis will face much more detailed rehab treatment plans than those without, as the needs for treatment for both issues must be taken into consideration at the drug and alcohol rehab in Leicestershire.
Fortunately for these individuals facing both addiction and mental health issues, dual diagnosis is very common.
This means that there are many options and treatments put in place to support you with both interconnected problems.
There are many mental health disorders that are commonly linked to dual diagnoses, such as:
Because the two issues are so closely intertwined, factors that aggravate your addiction (such as triggers in the environment) may also do the same for whichever mental health disorder you are battling – and vice versa.
You can also find general mental health support at Rethink Mental Illness, Papyrus, Young Minds, Samaritans and Mind UK.
Many individuals fighting addiction also suffer from physical conditions, such as heart disease, liver failure, alcoholic hepatitis and various types of cancer.
These will also be considered under dual diagnosis and will be addressed accordingly whilst in recovery.

It is common and completely normal to want to explore other options before committing to rehab.
The main other routes you can take for your addiction include:
Joining a fellowship group such as AA meetings Alcoholics Anonymous, [8] NA meetings Narcotics Anonymous, [9] and CA meetings Cocaine Anonymous in Leicestershire and near Leicestershire [10] can be a great way to reach recovery from a drug or alcohol addiction.
Groups like these, and other branches such as Al-Anon [11] and Alateen in Leicestershire, [12] can help clients and their families recover with the help of others who are experiencing similar situations, emotions, and events.
It allows clients to build connections and create a support network of understanding people, and also receive help through the sponsorship that is often prevalent in mutual support groups.
Milestones are often rewarded with coins or medallions, and the group celebrates and uplifts every member’s achievements – so that everyone can feel worthy recovery and supported in their journey.
The 12-step programme is also a staple of these groups and can become a way of life for members who follow them towards recovery.
If you do wish to join AA, NA, or a similar fellowship group, we recommend doing research first on what groups are available in your area.
Though some offer more broad care and rehab treatment for every addiction, some are more focused on particular addictions and substances, so take the time to find one that is most suited to your needs and goals.
Not all clients will need to stay at rehab full time on a residential programme.
Some will be able to partake instead in outpatient rehab treatment, which involves a home medically assisted detox and withdrawal, with frequent visits to the outpatient clinic of your choice for treatments and check-ins.
This treatment route is great for those who wish to hold on to some freedom and independence, and those who wish to take control of their treatment and recovery journey.
Though there are of course some downfalls to residing at home for a portion of your time, your eligibility to do so is assessed before this treatment option is recommended as a viable option.
Self-Management And Recovery Training – or SMART – is another alternative to rehab.
SMART [13] is an international non-profit organisation and charity that helps guide individuals battling addiction and addiction rehabilitation all over the world to a successful recovery.
Their tools allow those dealing with drug or alcohol addictions to:

At Rehab 4 Addiction, we strongly believe that residential rehab services are the right choice for people who are addicted to alcohol and drugs.
Not only will you be entirely removed from the temptations that you face in the outside world, but you’ll also receive round the clock support from specialist addiction doctors.

Residential rehab clinics in Leicestershire also provide daily therapy sessions, allowing an experienced psychologist to unearth any hidden issues which could be contributing to your addiction.
