How much does it cost to go to drug rehab and alcohol rehab in York and across Yorkshire?

Rehab-house

The costs involved in attending a drug rehab and alcohol rehab in York will of course depend largely on how long you want to stay.

It is also possible in many places to pay extra in order to have a single room for the duration of your drug and alcohol rehab treatment in York. [17]

The prices available can be discussed individually when you speak with us about rehab in York.

For example, if you would like to go into private rehab York only for the 7-10 days necessary to have a drug detox or alcohol detox, then the price would be between £2,000 and £4,000.

If you would like to stay a little longer and attend drug and alcohol rehab for 28 days in York, this would cost around £6,000, though if you want to have a single room during this time, prices would be between £8,000 and £12,000.

Home detoxes in York normally cost around £1,500. This is cheaper than drug and alcohol rehab since you undertake the treatment at home.

This can be a much more affordable way to undergo a detox but it also means that there is not the continual support available that there would be in drug and alcohol rehab.

Finally, any drug and alcohol rehab treatment received through the NHS will come either free or at a significantly reduced cost. [18]

How long does drug rehab & alcohol rehab in York last for alcohol substance misuse?

Therapy room

Some people go to drug and alcohol rehab in York only in order to undergo a detox in York (the length of which will depend on what substance is being used).

Others stay for somewhat longer at a drug and alcohol rehab in York in order to focus on the other psychological and behavioural patterns that go hand-in-hand with their substance misuse.

Standard alcohol rehab treatment tends to last around 28 days, although it’s also popular to complete a 10-14 day treatment plan in residential settings.

It’s also possible to just complete a detox at a rehab centre in York, which takes around 7-10 days for an alcohol detox, or around 14-21 days for an opioad detox.

Research has shown that the longer the period of time someone is able to give themselves in alcohol rehab treatment, [35] the higher the chances they have of being able to maintain recovery in the long term.

You can read this article which goes into greater depth on the how long rehab lasts in York.

What is a drug or alcohol detox at drug alcohol rehab in York, and do I need one?

Drinking coffee

Detox in York is needed when someone has been using a physically addictive substance for a sufficient length of time that the body has adapted to having the substance in its system, and a structured rehab environment can support this process.

The result of this adaptation is that when the substance is no longer present, the body goes through what we call withdrawal symptoms which can be managed effectively in a rehab setting.

Alcohol dependence will be assessed using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, [36] DSM-5 or CAGE Questionnaire. [37], typically conducted during the initial stages of rehab.

Dependent drinkers [38] will get unpleasant withdrawal symptoms (, alcohol withdrawal symptoms) or alcohol withdrawal syndrome when they stop drinking, so these symptoms need to be managed carefully [39] in a rehab facility.

This is why attempting to detox in York without any help is not recommended [40] and why entering a drug and alcohol rehab programme can provide the necessary support.

Medically-assisted alcohol rehab in York

To ensure that the risk of seizures is reduced patients get given Chlordiazepoxide, brand name Librium, as they undergo detox in a medically supervised drug and alcohol rehab environment in York.

A medically-assisted detox is needed in order to try to prevent the effects of alcohol, including encephalopathy (Wernicke Encephalopathy [41]) and delirium tremens, which are closely monitored in rehab.

The nature of these withdrawal symptoms will be different depending on what substance has been used and for how long. [42], making the personalised approach at a rehab centre invaluable.

A detox in York requires the administration of medication to combat the symptoms of the withdrawal. Different medication is used for different substances and the particular details can be discussed with us in a rehab consultation.

Withdrawal from alcohol dependence can be dangerous and even fatal [43] due to the threat of seizure. During detox, a medication called Librium is normally used over the course of several days in order to help the body withdraw from alcohol safely, typically under the supervision of drug alcohol rehab professionals.

Withdrawal medications for alcohol rehab in York

You might also be given other medications such as Buprenorphine, Naltrexone [44], Acamprosate [45] and a wide variety of anti-anxiety medications such as Nefazodone [46], Paroxetine, [47] and their various alternatives [48] as part of a rehab programme.

Detox from heroin can take slightly longer due to its more dangerous nature, often necessitating specialised drug alcohol rehab care.

How do I do a home alcohol detox in York?

Industrial bedroom with dark wooden floors

A cheaper alternative to going to drug and alcohol rehab centres in York for medical detox is to undergo the same process in your own home. Home detox is only permitted following an assessment by a psychiatrist and the client also needs to be consuming less than 30 units of alcohol a day. [49]

Medication is then posted daily to your home address and support is given via a daily telephone call.

If you want to find out whether a home detox is right for you, or if a supervised detox at a drug and alcohol rehab in York would be more appropriate, call our team on 0800 140 4690

What are the benefits of going to drug rehab or alcohol rehab centres in York?

Diverse people in a support group

Recovering from a substance use disorder in York is neither a quick nor an easy task as we are dealing with physical changes in the brain that need to be healed and new patterns established.

Trying to do this when you are surrounded by reminders of your drinking or using is extremely difficult.

York drug and alcohol rehab places you in a situation where none of these old reminders or triggers are present, as well as offers you constant professional support to help make new and healthy decisions.

Just as addictive behaviour can become all-consuming, so the early stages of recovery can involve using all our energy and resources.

Being in drug and alcohol rehab means that sufficient rest, nutrition and psychological support is on hand to sustain this journey in its early, challenging stages.

What is rehab for cocaine addiction in York?

Going to drug and alcohol rehab in York for cocaine addiction will not require a medical detox as cocaine does not produce a physical dependency within the body.

An addiction to cocaine will, however, require a concerted effort to establish new coping mechanisms and relapse prevention strategies.

For many sufferers of cocaine addiction, substance use can be deeply entrenched with social life or their world of work.

Time away from all these influences gives you the best possible opportunity to build new, more positive patterns of behaviour.

What is rehab for heroin addiction in York?

Two people hugging

Heroin is among the most physically addictive of substances and a physical dependency can build up within a matter of days.

Due to this, it is very usual that anyone who goes to drug and alcohol rehab due to a heroin addiction requires a medical detox during the first stages.

A heroin detox can feel uncomfortable due to heroin withdrawal, but staff in the rehab will monitor you throughout the process in order to make the detox as easy as possible.

It is highly recommended that a stay in drug and alcohol rehab in York is prolonged beyond the time of the detox in order to give as much opportunity as possible to the building of coping mechanisms and relapse prevention strategies.

You will also receive treatment or advice for any more effects of heroin, such as hepatitis.

How does private rehab treatment compare to council-funded treatment in York?

Female therapist with male

Those who enter council-funded rehab treatment in York will be offered a service that includes a schedule of groups that all service users are welcome to join.

There might be 12 Step meetings or SMART Groups available, although these are not directly comparable to inpatient/residential rehab, since these are undertaken on an outpatient basis. Usually, there is some limited one-to-one input for people too.

Going to a private rehab clinic opens up a larger array of benefits. This is because the funds are there to provide brilliant care, treatments, and staff time.

Private drug and alcohol rehab clinics offer:

  • Reduced waiting lists, [51] which means you can go to rehab quickly.
  • 24-hour care and support.
  • Talking and behavioural therapy to tackle the mind and behaviour. There are also trauma therapies on offer where these are deemed appropriate for the individual.
  • A specialised programme for those with a dual diagnosis. You will first have a psychiatric assessed by a psychiatrist to see if you need psychiatric treatment.
  • Motivational interviewing for those who need to develop self-confidence [52] and strengthen their resolve to quit.
  • A medically overseen detox offers the safest way to withdraw from substances.

What is relapse prevention planning and can rehabs in York help with this?

Female therapist with male

A vital part of the rehab process is planning for life when rehab is complete.

This means looking at what things in general and specifically for you might prove a challenge to maintaining a substance-free life.

This is known as a relapse prevention plan and is a key part of ensuring continued recovery from addiction, particularly during the period immediately after a drug and alcohol rehab in York ends. [66]

Support networks will be key to this so that no one who leaves rehab will feel that they do not have anyone to turn to when challenges arise.

Relapse prevention [67] will always remain an essential part of recovery after drug and alcohol rehab in York as, although addiction can be properly managed, it cannot be cured. [68]

What are the alternatives to going to drug and alcohol rehab in York and across Yorkshire?

Group therapy - hands in air

If you do not feel that your drug and alcohol rehab is for you, or that you are not ready for it at the moment, there are a range of other possibilities that you can try, in order to find help with your substance use struggles.

Alcoholics Anonymous is probably the best-known and most widely available programme of recovery from alcohol use disorder, and it may be used either in combination with rehab or as an alternative.

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) [69] bases its programme on the 12 Steps which are a method for maintaining recovery and dealing with challenges that may arise, using a higher power to give yourself over to.

The 12 Steps have subsequently been taken up and adopted by other groups that focus on addiction to other substances. For example, Narcotics Anonymous, [70] Cocaine Anonymous [71] and many more.

12 Steps groups are all free, as well as available in most towns throughout the country for after drug and alcohol rehab in York.
