Whilst the rehabilitation process may seem overwhelming, with our help we can make it simple.

We ask all clients to first call us on 0800 140 4690 to begin a pre-admission assessment.

Before we can recommend any specific drug and alcohol addiction rehabilitation services in Warwickshire or near Warwickshire, we need to understand a bit more about you and your rehab treatment needs. [6]

Clients are also assessed by psychiatrists who will determine and diagnose if a substance use disorder (SUD) is present.

SUDs are diagnosed according to multiple criteria such as ASAM, [7] DSM-5, [8] and AUDIT [9] (if the addiction is to alcohol).

These initial assessments also allow for the development of a personalised drug and alcohol treatment plan at rehab, where the specific needs of each individual can be addressed effectively.

Interventionists can help a loved one access appropriate drug and alcohol addiction treatment options in their area. By calling our team today, we can help you find an interventionist in Warwickshire or near Warwickshire.

Interventions are also a key part of ensuring that any family members are not inadvertently enabling any addictive behaviours in their loved ones, which is sady a common occurrence. [11]

How much will treatment cost at a drug and alcohol rehab in Warwickshire or near Warwickshire?

An accurate price [12] for your stay at an addiction treatment centre in Warwickshire will be provided to you once your pre-admission rehab assessment is complete an a drug and alcohol treatment plan has been lain out.

However, for an estimate, continue reading below.

The price of alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Warwickshire will vary depending on the length of your programme and the type of treatment you opt for.

For a 10-day alcohol or drug detox in a room of your own, prices in Warwickshire or near Warwickshire range from around £3,000 and can increase to £6,000 depending on location.

For a dual or multi-occupancy room, prices begin at £2,000.

For a 28-day stay at a residential rehab facility in Warwickshire with a single-occupancy room, prices range from £8,000 to £12,000 and for a dual occupancy room, £6,000.

Home detoxes are also another option for clients as they are significantly cheaper, beginning at around £1,500.

Though it is important to remember that home detoxes cannot shield you from temptation and are therefore not advised for those with severe addictions. [13]

Below, we list several drug and alcohol rehabs in Warwickshire:

Private rehabilitation or NHS addiction treatment options in Warwickshire – Which is better?

Many people begin their recovery journey through NHS rehab treatment, though they tend to find it is not as beneficial as they thought.

Other free services can also be provided by charities and organised and funded through schemes set up by Warwickshire County Council.

Free and NHS-run addiction rehab services across Warwickshire [14] include:

Other places to contact that can offer you free addiction help include a local NHS Foundation Trust, Turning Point, We Are With You, National Association for Children of Alcoholics, Change Grow Live (CGL Warwickshire), Al-Anon and Alateen.

Rehabs and organisations are advised by the work of the American Society of Addiction Medicine [15] and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence [16] so you are in safe hands with person-centred care to help you through addiction recovery.

You may also be offered access to a sober living house as part of your rehab aftercare plan to help you maintain your sobriety. [17]

Whilst NHS rehab treatment for addiction is free to access [18] and offered widely throughout the UK,  including in and near to Warwickshire,  it only offers outpatient or home detoxification programmes.

Whilst residential rehabilitation offers can happen, they are very rare and only tend to be offered if outpatient treatment has failed.

Instead of waiting for relapses to occur, we urge you to consider private rehab in Warwickshire or near Warwickshire.

This form of treatment is immediate and effective meaning you can enter your chosen addiction treatment centre in a matter of days.

There are no waiting lists [19] as found with treatment funded by Warwickshire County Council and you can experience a wide range of therapies to help heal both your body and mind.

Private drug and alcohol addiction rehabilitation services in Warwickshire offer a wider range of benefits than compared to NHS treatment though its major drawback for most clients is the cost.

Private alcohol and drug rehabilitation can be expensive, though it is good to note that many more clinics in the UK are now accepting medical insurance.

Some providers offer payment plans to help make addiction treatment programmes more accessible and inclusive.

NHS rehab treatment, whilst it seems promising, can cause many patients to begin treatment that is not designed for their needs.

NHS addiction treatment doesn’t focus on mental health support [20] which we believe is a crucial part of treatment.

To find out more, call our rehab helpline advisers today and begin your pre-admission assessment.

If you would like more guidance choosing between private or public drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Warwickshire, call our team on 0800 140 4690

How long does drug and alcohol rehab in Warwickshire or near Warwickshire last?

Whilst a full addiction recovery success can take anywhere from six months to five years, [21] treatment will never last this long.

Most clients who choose a residential programme stay at a Warwickshire rehab for around 28-30 days.

This is deemed a suitable amount of time to overcome dependencies and begin to lay the foundations for healthy coping mechanisms.

Some clients, who have very severe addictions, choose to stay at an alcohol and drug rehab centre for around 90 days before returning home.

Those who may be running on a tighter budget can choose to attend a drug or alcohol detox programme only, meaning they will attend a residential rehab programme for just 10 days.

The duration of your programme in Warwickshire will be determined once staff have a clearer image of the type of care you require.

For an accurate estimate of how long your time at a drug and alcohol rehab in Warwickshire will take, call us on 0800 140 4690

Alcohol detox and rehab programmes in Warwickshire

If you are trapped in the addiction cycle, it has most likely had negative effects on your health, your relationships, finances, career and overall well-being.

Alcohol dependence can be confirmed by the medical team at rehab using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, [22] DSM-5 or CAGE Questionnaire. [23]

Heavy drinkers will experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms (, alcohol withdrawal symptoms) or alcohol withdrawal syndrome when they stop drinking.

To ensure that the risk of seizures is minimal patients are prescribed Chlordiazepoxide, brand name Librium, as they undergo detoxification as this has been shown to offer extra protection against the risk of seizures.

A medically-assisted detox at rehab is a must to try to prevent the effects of alcohol, including encephalopathy (Wernicke Encephalopathy [24]) and delirium tremens.

Admitting that you need help for your alcohol addiction is the first step towards achieving recovery. [25]

Alcohol addiction is the most common form of addiction in Warwickshire and the UK.

If you suddenly stop your consumption when you are addicted or dependent, [26] you could risk experiencing Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome.

AWS occurs when a user who drinks consistently suddenly stops drinking.

The symptoms of AWS thar rehab can help treat are:

The symptoms tend to worsen over 3 days when you first quit at rehab, and can even occur for weeks in some people.

The most severe type of withdrawal syndrome is known as delirium tremens or DTs for short.

Rehab can also treat DT symptoms like:

  • Visual, tactile, and auditory hallucinations
  • Extreme confusion
  • Extreme agitation
  • Excessive sweating
  • Seizures

AWS and the DTs can be fatal [28] if not treated which is why we urge all clients facing alcoholism to seek professional rehab support.

Whilst it may seem manageable to attempt to treat it alone, professional help can ensure your safety at all times and help you mentally too.

Most alcohol rehab programmes in Warwickshire begin with a Librium-based detox over 10 days.

Rehab can prescribe Librium – the brand name for chlordiazepoxide – and helps to ease alcohol withdrawal symptoms including anxiety.

From here, clients are expected to begin therapy.

Both traditional and holistic forms of therapy are offered at rehab in Warwickshire to help clients experience physical and psychological healing.

Before treatment is complete, clients will draw up relapse prevention plans by working with addiction support staff which helps to recognise triggers and stressors.

This gives you the best chance of meeting your recovery goals at rehab and staying sober during the riskiest part of addiction recovery. [29]

Can I detox from alcohol at home in Warwickshire?

In short, yes. However, you must be assessed by a psychiatrist to determine if you will find it beneficial to detoxification at home.

This form of treatment is not as safe as a residential rehab programme in Warwickshire as staff cannot monitor your progress or offer 24/7 support.

If you are successful in fulfilling the criteria for a home detox, Librium will be posted to your home and you will then be required to check in daily with a member of staff from your chosen clinic.

You might also be given other medications such as Buprenorphine, Naltrexone [30], Acamprosate [31] and a wide variety of anti-anxiety medications such as Nefazodone [32], Paroxetine, [33] and their various alternatives. [34]

Home detoxes are significantly cheaper than inpatient rehab programmes, but this should not be the sole reason why they are chosen.

If you are considered a low risk for developing complications from detoxification and have an appropriate addiction support network, a home drug or alcohol detox could be in your best interest.

Many people think that home detoxes and self-detoxes are the same things.

Self-detoxes are not medically approved and consist of an individual attempting to overcome addiction alone in their home. [35]

They have not been prescribed medication and can cause more danger to themselves.

If you are considering a self-detox instead of rehab, we recommend you speak to our team who can provide you with more information about the benefits of home detoxes and residential treatment.

To learn more about recovering from alcohol addiction, either at home or at an alcohol and drug rehab in Warwickshire, call our team on 0800 140 4690

What Happens if I Drink Alcohol Every Day?

Drinking regularly [36] forces your brain and body to adapt to the presence of these chemicals.

When you drink alcohol every day, you can become reliant on it.

Jurgen Rehm discovered a strong correlation between people who drink a lot and extensive health problems, [37] including those leading to death.

How Can You Treat Alcohol Use Disorder at Rehab in Warwickshire or Near Warwickshire?

Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous, so it’s essential you seek medical advice.

You can choose from inpatient, outpatient, intensive inpatient rehab or partial hospitalisation  in Warwickshire.

Therapy will be essential to your recovery, with many people maintaining addiction support for years after rehab.

Wayne Hall, in a study on alcohol use disorder, [38] discovered brief intervention therapy helped people to maintain safer drinking and lower intake.

What types of therapy and addiction counselling are offered at drug and alcohol rehab Warwickshire?

Many different treatment options are offered at drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Warwickshire, covering a wide range of recovery needs.

Talking therapies, group work, alternative therapies and a huge selection of other evidence-based treatment techniques are available at rehab.

These are employed by qualified recovery nurses and addiction counsellors at rehab to ensure that patients have the best possible chance of recovery success.

These therapies also allow patients to get to the root causes of addiction, giving them a better understanding of their condition and themselves.

Therapeutic techniques offered at Warwickshire rehab clinics include:

Stress rehab & treatment is also often a key step in addiction recovery, as stress can be at the heart of both addiction problems and mental health struggles.

Many private clinics in Warwickshire and across the UK are also luxury clinics, meaning that they offer high-quality amenities such as en-suite bedrooms, saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs.

Relaxation is a vital part of therapy at rehab, so many addiction treatment centres are focused on holistic healing to help clients heal fully.

Many clinics offer Wi-Fi and allow clients to bring items such as laptops and tablets.

To experience any and all of these treatments at your ideal rehab clinic in Warwickshire, call us today on 0800 140 4690

Dual diagnosis treatment at drug and alcohol rehab in Warwickshire?

Substance use disorders and mental health disorders can be very difficult to manage alone and sometimes they occur at the same time. [39]

This is called a dual diagnosis. Rehab is well-equipped to deal with mental health disorders.

A dual diagnosis can make sourcing effective treatment even more of a challenge.

You will be looked at by a psychiatrist at rehab who will make a psychiatric assessment to check if you need psychiatric treatment.

Many mental health treatment centres do not accept clients with substance use disorders until they can prove they are sober.

This can be very hard to achieve without professional addiction support at rehab, thus creating a negative cycle that is impossible to break.

At Rehab 4 Addiction, we understand this and help clients enter treatment programmes that cater for both their mental health disorder [40] and their substance use disorder.

We offer referrals to top rehabs who understand mental health disorders, and can offer the best treatments on the market.

By treating both conditions simultaneously, you can expect a much better outcome and work on making a clean start in the next chapter of your life.

Contact our rehab team today to find out more information on how dual diagnosis treatment could benefit you.

Many organisations in Warwickshire and across the UK offer free mental health support, whether you are also suffering from addiction or not.

Some of these include Mind UK, Young Minds, Rethink Mental Illness, Samaritans and Papyrus.

You can also always get the support of a conventional mental health treatment hospital.

Relapse prevention planning at drug and alcohol rehab in Warwickshire

Relapse prevention plans are another vital part of treatment in rehab and can help clients to achieve their recovery goals and remain sober upon their return home.

This is a key aspect of the addiction recovery process as, although addiction can be successfully managed, it cannot be cured. [41]

In rehab treatment, clients work hard to locate the source of their drug or alcohol use.

Relapse prevention plans are created as a written document at rehab to help the individual, their addiction support group, and outpatient care staff identify triggers for possible relapses.

Identifying the warning signs of a relapse after rehab can help stop it from happening.

Relapses aren’t a spur-of-the-moment decision – they begin with poor self-care and ignoring emotions.

A mental relapse then follows the emotional relapse, before a physical relapse happens.

At Rehab 4 Addiction, we ensure that all clients work with treatment clinics that provide relapse prevention plans and sessions [42] before the completion of their programme.

What are the alternatives to attending drug and alcohol rehab in Warwickshire?

Rehab isn’t for everyone, although it provides excellent benefits.

If you are not in the right headspace or cannot commit to rehab in Warwickshire for personal reasons, your time there could be futile.

However, there are alternatives within the Warwickshire area that could help you, with a variety of organisations and charities offering unique addiction support programme activities.

Mutual Support Groups and Rehab Alternatives in Warwickshire and Near Warwickshire

There are many personal support groups across the country run by former addiction sufferers and various charities that seek to provide effective addiction support programme activities for those in need.

Why not attend a local 12-step support group?

These can be attended while you’re at rehab, or after you’ve left. Some people opt for just twelve-step rehabilitation instead of inpatient care.

Sharing difficult feelings out loud can be helpful, especially with a group of peers who can understand the difficulties you are facing.

Alcoholics Anonymous, [43] Narcotics Anonymous [44] and Cocaine Anonymous [45] can all provide this essential peer support after rehab, as well as a path to sobriety by giving yourself over to a higher power.

SMART Recovery [46] is also another option, though this is a self-help recovery process and only beneficial to those with mild addictions or dependencies.

Addiction Family Support at Rehab in Warwickshire and Near Warwickshire

Al-Anon Family Groups can also be beneficial to families of individuals struggling with alcoholism.

This can be utilised alongside inpatient rehabilitation, or instead.

The group meetings are designed to provide specialist addiction family support, helping families and loved ones to deal with the effects of someone else’s drinking and are typically considered to be a safe space.

Overcoming temptation in addiction recovery

If you suffer from an addiction, often stopping is the easy step in your road to long-term addiction recovery. The hardest part is affectionately known as ‘staying stopped.’

When you enter the recovery process after rehab in Warwickshire, stressful events are likely to occur that test your resolve.

These stressful events mean many people return to drug and alcohol use.

To resolve this addiction problem, our Warwickshire rehab clinics have developed a number of proven techniques to help you overcome urges to return to drug or alcohol use, no matter how much stress you face in your everyday life.

Briefly, these techniques include relapse prevention strategies, cognitive behavioural therapy and a number of holistic therapies.

CBT in particular has an extremely high recovery success rate at rehab [47] with very low chances of relapse [48] when fully completed, although some individuals will find it less effective [49] due to pre-existing conditions such as personality disorders [50] or a learning disability.

Now, you are able to gain access to all of these therapies and much more thanks to drug and alcohol rehab offerings in Warwickshire.

When you attend one of our fantastic Warwickshire rehab clinics, you will receive a number of drug and alcohol rehab services designed to ‘get you better.’

These include a clinic detox, group and one-on-one therapy techniques and structured rehab aftercare.

The addiction treatment options we offer referrals to at rehab run the entire gamut of different addiction problems you may imagine.

Each person is treated as unique, so rehab programmes in Warwickshire will differ between different people even if their substance of choice is identical to one another.

We believe the personalisation of addiction treatment options is far more effective when compared to a generalised approach often adopted by some providers of addiction treatment services.
