Drug and Alcohol Rehab Essex

Searching for a drug and alcohol rehab in Essex can be a long process; it is something that nobody wants to do alone, which is why we’re here to help.

At Action Rehab, we ensure that you’re taken care of from start to finish; we take into consideration your requirements for rehab, whether it is for you or somebody else and find the perfect place to recover from.

How Action Rehab Helps You Find a Rehab in Essex

There is a wide variety of services available for drug and alcohol rehab in Essex, but what will work best for you? At Action Rehab, we make it easy; we specialise in helping people find the help they need within budget and perfectly suited to their personal situation.

We understand there is no one-size-fits-all solution. So we’re dedicated to ensuring you get the service that’s right for you, giving you the best chance of success.

When you contact our team, we start by quickly identifying your needs, whether you’re referring somebody else or self-referring.

That means asking you a few short questions about yourself or your loved one in order to clarify your current situation and the type of treatment required.

Based on what you tell us, we’ll link you to the service (or services) that will work best for your particular set of circumstances. This takes into account:

• The nature of your substance or alcohol problem
• Affordability
• Housing situation
• Ease of access
• Age
• Gender

Our recommendations are based on what you tell us; we can assist in the admissions process and ensure that you receive the treatment that you are looking for.

The treatments available for alcohol dependency and drug addiction cover a wide range of situations. But you can be assured that the services we recommend will be tailored to your individual requirements.

Perhaps this is the first time you’ve sought help, or maybe it’s a journey you’ve been on before. Either way – and whatever your personal set of circumstances – we will find the appropriate course of treatment.

Find out below what to expect from a typical residential Essex rehab and the journey you’ll take with one of our partnering rehabs.

What to Expect at Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Essex

One thing that can make the prospect of going to rehab intimidating is not knowing what is on the other side of the door. The truth is that our partnering rehabs offer a homely, cosy environment that makes for a relaxing and calm recovery process.

While there are a range of casual drop-in services, more formal rehab programmes that we recommend typically take the following journey.

The Pre-admission Call

Before you receive an admission date or we talk about your options, we will ask you about your drug or alcohol use. You’ll be asked simple questions, such as:

• What substances do you take?
• How frequently do you take them?
• In what quantity?

They will also ask about how you developed the problem in the first place and how it’s impacted your life. All conversations are confidential, and in a nutshell, we will simply try to get as much information about your addiction as possible.

This will help us understand what level of treatment you require, and you can be completely transparent with our empathetic team. We see hundreds of people suffering from the weight of addiction just like you; you’re not the only person suffering, and you’re in a judge-free space.

Once we have the information, we can better inform you of the best route to recovery.

Remember, you’re under no obligation; this is a free call and is a chance for us to get to know each other better and thoroughly understand your addiction.

We will provide you with addiction clinics in Essex that match your requirements. Whether it is those that are near or far away from Essex or those that have specific treatment facilities, we are able to filter out any that don’t suit you and provide you with ones that do.

Admission to Alcohol & Drug Rehab in Essex

Once we have discussed your options, you’re then free to think about your options, or you can leave the admission up to us, and we will handle the process.

If you have decided that you want rapid admission, we can accommodate this too. In fact, some of our in-patients have been admitted within 48 hours.

This is when you start your in-patient journey, and you stay for the agreed amount of time, which can range from 7 nights to 28 nights or more (we will talk about how long you can stay in residential rehab in the FAQs).

Aftercare Post- Rehab, Essex

Once you have left residential rehab, depending on your provider, you will typically be granted aftercare services.

To ensure that you receive this, please let us know that this is your requirement during the admissions process. Nonetheless, our top partnering rehabs do offer 1-year free aftercare once you have been discharged.

This includes therapy every week to keep you on track and ensure that you’re still getting the care you need to avoid relapse.

Treatment Options at Alcohol & Drug Rehab Essex

At drug and alcohol rehab, Essex-based or further afield, there are a range of treatment options. These include but aren’t limited to:

Medication

If you’re currently dependent on drugs, you may be offered a substitute as part of a rehab programme designed to reduce your use gradually.

Medication can be a staple part of a detox programme and during psychological recovery, too.

Often, withdrawal symptoms can be intense, which is why often, prescription medication will be distributed to those who are suffering so they can make it through the hardest parts of withdrawal.

Similarly, poor mental health is strongly linked to addiction. That being said, it is understandable if your mental health requires treatment too; this can come in the form of medicinal treatment too.

Talking Therapies

Talking therapy helps you to understand how your thoughts and feelings affect your behaviour. This is arguably the most intense part of treatment; this is when you will be vulnerable, look inside and together, we will find the core of your addiction and address every aspect bit by bit.

This isn’t just one therapy; there are a range of therapies that take place in residential rehab; some of these include:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Family therapy
• 1-2-1 therapy
• Group therapy

All therapies have varied benefits and, when combined, make for an effective and comprehensive treatment programme.

Essentially, therapy helps develop your mental resilience and provides a foundation for conquering your addiction.

12-Step Process Treatment

While not all addiction clinics in Essex follow the 12-step programme, some do. This is the popular structure that is related to religion and allows people to get through one step at a time.

It can bring some comfort to those who know what they’re in for. Also, those who are spiritual or religious may find comfort in having a rehab programme that is, too, related to spirituality and religious awakening.

During pre-admission, we can discuss if this is something that you require and find rehabs in Essex that provide this model for you to recover from.

Relapse Prevention

Finally, there are relapse prevention techniques that prepare you for life post-rehab.

Sadly, relapse is common, meaning that once you have recovered, the journey isn’t over. However, with the help of relapse prevention techniques being a staple part of the rehabilitation journey, you will be well-equipped to deal with triggers and temptations when you’re back at home.

Detox Process at Alcohol Rehab Essex

While detox isn’t always necessary, it is often a part of what’s necessary for those with advanced addictions.

Being able to withdraw safely is vital to avoiding relapse during recovery; within a drug and alcohol rehab in Essex, you’ll be in the safest hands to continue your journey into psychological treatment.

Detox will be the first step prior to rehabilitation, but don’t worry about organising this on your own; Action Rehab takes care of everything. We don’t want you to worry about organising treatment centres; simply let us know what you require, and we take care of the rest.

Sometimes, those who require a detox may not even be aware of it; if this is the case, we will be able to tell you during pre-admission if your addiction requires a detoxification programme.

Ultimately, withdrawal symptoms can be severe – and potentially dangerous – so detox services can help alleviate those symptoms and provide effective coping strategies.

Free Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Essex

We completely understand that residential in-patient rehab isn’t for everybody, plus it might not be necessary for every addiction. That being said, there are some other options, like free outpatient alcohol and drug rehab, Essex.

One of the most popular ways of utilising outpatient addiction treatments is through groups like Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous Essex.

NA and AA meetings in Essex are plentiful; you can attend online or in person, and they follow the popular aforementioned 12-step model.

Below, you can find some of the groups that are in-person and local to Essex; for more options, head over to their website.
