How Does Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Poole Work?

Rehab works by allowing individuals access to a range of different therapy and treatment options that they otherwise would not be able to gain access to.

In order to address the individual’s addiction and rehab treatment needs, they must engage with several different treatment techniques.

For example, if you are suffering from a physically addictive substance addiction then you will first need to undergo a physical detox.

This will allow your body a chance to overcome its need for the addictive substance and will create independence from the drug.

Once you have completed this detox, you will then move on to a range of different rehab therapy techniques to target specific mental needs.

Lots of people who suffer from addiction also suffer from a mental health issue (also known as a dual diagnosis). As a result of this, individuals will undergo both one-to-one therapy and a range of other holistic therapy techniques whilst at rehab.

Every rehab programme is carried out by a group of professional doctors and psychotherapists, who will have extensive experience when it comes to helping people to recover from a drug and alcohol addiction.

Most rehab programmes are described as bilateral, which describes the way rehab works by treating both the immediate and physical addiction alongside the long-term and underlying mental health issues that often lead to an addiction in the first place.

How Do You Organise an Intervention For Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Poole?

Hundreds of people each year contact our team at Rehab 4 Addiction for advice and support on how to hold an intervention for addiction.

Lots of people who suffer from alcohol abuse or drug abuse issues struggle to accept or admit that they are addicted in the first place, making it almost impossible for them to access rehab treatment.

This is where an intervention comes in.

Interventions are used to help individuals with substance abuse or alcohol abuse issues find the motivation and determination to seek treatment.

Lots of people who suffer from an addiction issue are often distracted, as they tend to also suffer from a range of different mental health issues [1] which add a whole host of other complications to their life.

Whilst many people with an addiction issue resent the idea of attending rehab, studies have shown that holding an intervention can help them see the benefits of attending drug rehab.

An intervention is a planned meeting carried out by the loved ones of someone suffering from an addiction.

Every intervention should be planned in advance and should not be a last-minute or rushed process.

You should organise an intervention well in advance, with a group of people who all care for the sufferer. You should create a list of things that you want to discuss with the sufferer, using examples of their unhealthy behaviours to highlight your concern.

You should also prepare a list of helplines, rehab centres and treatment options for both alcohol abuse and drug abuse so that the individual knows the best rehab treatment options available to them.

You should also ask an intervention specialist to attend your intervention to help you keep the conversation on track and as productive and helpful as possible.

If you think you know someone who would benefit from attending drug and alcohol rehab in Poole, then speak to a member of the Rehab 4 Addiction team for advice and support.

When individuals first start to look into drug and alcohol rehab in Poole, they will come across a range of different therapy techniques.

Each rehab centre will provide a range of different therapy techniques to suit all addiction and treatment needs.

For example, if the individual presents with a series of different mental health issues, then they will be offered a mixture of therapy techniques to help combat a number of different underlying issues.

Unfortunately, lots of people who suffer from an addiction will require psychological therapy at rehab as they are suffering from a dual diagnosis.

A dual diagnosis means that you are suffering from a mental health issue alongside an addiction issue, which is very common.

Commonly experienced mental health problems faced at addiction rehab include:

You can find general mental health support outside of the rehab addiction structure at Rethink Mental IllnessPapyrusYoung Minds, Samaritans and Mind UK.

In order to properly treat a dual diagnosis, individuals are offered a specialised rehab treatment plan to treat both their conditions and issues at the same time.

The Cost of Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Poole

How much your private rehab treatment plan will cost will depend on a number of different factors, which include how severe your addiction is, where the rehab centre is and whether you opt for a shared or private room.

A  7 – 10 day stay in a rehab centre will cost anywhere between £3,000 and £6,000 for a private room and between £2,000 and £4,000 for a shared room.

This is generally the least amount of time people spend in rehab, as most people require longer to undergo therapy.

If you stay in rehab for 28 days, then you will end up paying anywhere between £8,000 and £12,000 for a private room and £6,000 for a shared room. As you can see, the longer you stay in rehab the more your rehab treatment will cost.

If you simply cannot afford the costs associated with drug and alcohol rehab in Poole, then you might want to consider a home detox.

Home detox is when someone detoxes in the comfort of their own home instead of at rehab, with medical support provided by having medication sent over in the post.

This option costs considerably less, costing as little as £1,500.

Lots of people who desperately need drug and alcohol rehab in Poole avoid attending rehab treatment because they feel anxious about how long they might need to stay in rehab and be away from friends and family members.

However, rehab centres are safe, calm and restorative environments which are there to help and support sufferers. You will also be told before you are admitted into rehab how long you will need to stay there, so you will never be in the dark.

How long you are required to stay in drug and alcohol rehab in Poole depends on how severe your addiction is and what kind of treatment you require in order to recover.

For example, if you suffer from a mild addiction and only require a detox then you might only stay in rehab for 7 – 10 days, which is usually the least amount of time people stay in rehab for.

If you suffer from a moderate to severe addiction, then you will be required to stay in rehab for 28 days, which allows enough time to detox and receive treatment for your addiction.

If your addiction is more severe and you suffer from complications such as a dual diagnosis, then you might need to stay in rehab for 60 – 90 days. However, this is usually only in a limited number of circumstances.

If you suffer from a mild addiction and do not need to attend drug and alcohol rehab in Poole quickly, then you might be best suited to NHS-funded rehab treatment.

NHS-funded rehab treatment allows people the opportunity to attend drug treatment despite their financial situation.

You will gain access to NHS-funded rehab through Poole council and your local GP, and you will not have to pay a penny.

If you opt for NHS-funded residential rehab treatment, you will also be placed in a private rehab centre.

Drug and Alcohol Detoxification at Rehab in Poole

If you suffer from a physically addictive substance, such as alcohol then you will require a physical detox in order to recover.

Detox is when an individual withdraws from the addictive substance for a period of time to allow the body a chance to overcome the physical need and dependence on the substance.

When you first arrive at drug and alcohol rehab in Poole, you will undergo a detox which will usually last approximately 7 – 10 days.

During this time, you will experience a range of different withdrawal symptoms which will make this an incredibly challenging process.

Common drug and alcohol withdrawal symptoms include:

In order to help you to overcome these withdrawal symptoms, doctors and qualified recovery nurses at rehab might prescribe you medication such as the benzodiazepine Chlordiazepoxide – better known as Librium, which is key in counteracting alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

In the case of heroin detox, Buprenorphine fulfils a similar role, limiting the worst effects of heroin withdrawal.

This is known as a medically-assisted detox and is essential in recovery from physically addictive substances, such as alcohol, ketamine, heroin addiction and other opioid use disorders.

There is a risk of developing a prescription drug addiction but this will be monitored and can be treated at a prescription drug rehab.

For those addictions that do not cause physical dependence, such as cocaine dependence, crack cocaine addiction, cannabis use disorder – cannabis addiction, and of course behavioural addictions like gambling addiction, a detox at rehab is not required.

However, once you overcome your withdrawal symptoms, your body will no longer crave the addictive substance.

From there onwards, you will work with doctors and specialists at rehab to help you to overcome the mental side of your addiction, including any underlying mental health issues.

Will I Receive Aftercare Treatment After Rehab in Poole?

Each rehab centre will encourage individuals to engage in aftercare treatment once they leave rehab.

You will be encouraged to attend aftercare and support services, often with a particular focus on mutual support groups like:

In the case of these 12-step meetings, the combination of peer support and a higher power to lean on can make it an essential step in many rehab recovery journeys.

Before you leave rehab and finish your treatment plan, you will be given your very own relapse prevention plan to take home with you which should include a list of tips and tricks on how to avoid triggers and coping mechanisms for overcoming cravings in the outside world.

These last steps to formal rehab treatment can often make the difference between staying sober for a few months before relapsing, and maintaining sobriety for the rest of your life.
