Rehab 4 Addiction – a brief history

Rehab 4 Addiction was founded in 2012, with the simple aim of getting people who need addiction help into a rehab clinic that is right for them.

Since we started, we have helped thousands of vulnerable people get their lives back on track, by providing expert advice and a straightforward referral service over the telephone.

Our knowledge of the rehab industry is unsurpassed, and we have contacts at every private rehab clinic across the country. Quite simply, we make getting into rehab as easy as possible.

In order for us to provide this service for you, we simply need you to acknowledge your addiction and complete a brief assessment over the phone.

During this conversation, we will aim to find out more about you, your life, and how you have been affected by substance abuse.

We will also take into account any other personal considerations, such as your religious beliefs or any other issues with your physical or mental health.

Once the assessment is completed, we can make a recommendation for a clinic near you, and provide you with all the information you need, including pricing and any other practical considerations.

Treatments at rehab

Thanks to portrayals of addiction and rehab in media, there are all kinds of misconceptions about what a stay in rehab actually involves.

Here, we want to be upfront about what going to rehab actually involves, and how each stage of the process can help you into recovery.

Here’s what a stay in a residential rehab unit looks like, in chronological order:

Supervised detox

For anyone who is still using, detox is one of the first things that will need to be done once you arrive at your rehab clinic. This should take a week or so, but can take longer, depending on a number of different factors.

For example, someone who has been drinking heavily for years will take longer to detox than someone whose alcohol intake was less extreme.

If you are withdrawing from heroin or other opiates, it is likely that your detox may involve the use of another medication, such as Methadone or Subutex.

Whatever the case, your detox will be carefully managed by a dedicated team of medical professionals who are there to look after your mental and physical health.

Talking therapies

A hugely valuable part of rehab is getting to the bottom of your underlying mental health issues that may be worsening your addiction or may have driven you to substance abuse in the first place.

At your rehab clinic, you will have access to a number of mental health professionals, all of whom are specialised in recovery.

Your personalised treatment plan will involve several types of talking therapies, such as counselling, psychotherapy, and cognitive behavioural therapy.

You will also have the opportunity to get involved in group therapy sessions.

These can be incredibly valuable to a person’s recovery journey, as it gives you the chance to share your own thoughts while learning from the varied experience and perspectives of others in your position.

Complementary activities

Addiction is not just a mental condition – it is a physical and spiritual condition too. With that in mind, any curse of residential rehab is likely to involve a number of activities which, while they are not therapeutic in the strictest sense of the word, can be enormously beneficial to your overall well-being.

For example, you may be encouraged to take part in gardening, or sessions of light exercises, such as yoga or tai chi. It is important to approach these sessions with an open mind, as they can be very rewarding for your mental and physical health.

There may also be other types of alternative therapies on offer, such as art or music therapy. This depends on the clinic to which you are referred, as well as your own needs.

Future planning & aftercare

Getting to the end of treatment at rehab is a big achievement, but it is hugely important to stay grounded and focus on what lies ahead once you leave.

As you approach the final days at rehab, you will put together a relapse prevention plan, personalised to you, with the help of one of the professionals at the clinic.

This will set out any potential pitfalls in terms of your ongoing sobriety and will suggest positive, proactive choices that you can make to ensure that you have the best possible chance of staying in recovery.

This may involve minimising contact with people who are still in addiction, even if they are family or close friends.

These are difficult decisions to make, but these guidelines are made with one goal – to minimise your chances of backsliding into addiction. You will also have access to a year’s worth of aftercare through your rehab clinic to help with this.
