Drug and Alcohol Rehab Manchester

Are you looking for a drug and alcohol rehab in Manchester? Here at Addiction Advocates, we will help you during the admissions process to start addiction treatment in a private residential facility. We have also outlined the free resources which are available in the local community in Manchester via NHS services.

Treatment is available as both an outpatient where you attend therapy groups through an appointment, and also as an inpatient, where you stay at rehab and receive round-the-clock care and support.

How Do I Get to Rehab in Manchester?

Once you’re in the mind frame to overcome your addiction to drugs and alcohol, we can help you find a suitable rehab treatment centre. If this process is new to you, we can provide a handheld approach, by weighing up Manchester-based drug and alcohol treatment services.

Outpatient Treatment

Most people will be referred to a community-based drug and alcohol treatment centre. After discussions with your GP or other agency, you can access this local support and book an appointment to start your recovery.

These local initiatives help people with alcohol and drug addictions in an outpatient setting. They can book you in group therapy classes and discuss your options for treatment in the local area.

A benefit of community-based treatment is that you do not need to move out of your local area to attend rehab. If you have a job you can still go to work and you can attend therapy sessions on appointment, and it is also cost-effective.

But some people also find it hard to quit an addiction when they remain in the same environment. Without the right support in place, the chances of relapse can be increased as it is very easy to fall back into a usual habit. Outpatient rehab also has a lower long-term success rate than inpatient rehab.

To self refer to a local community-based programme you can contact:

Private Residential Treatment

The other option available to you is to stay in a private residential rehab clinic. Here you will be an inpatient and stay in the rehab centre for a period of time. Most stays at rehab last from 1 to 4 weeks, where you will be provided with 24-hour assistance whilst you complete a detoxification programme and therapy.

A key benefit of private residential rehab is that you are taken out of your addictive environment. You can be monitored through the detox stage and given medications to help with the worst of your withdrawal symptoms. You are also fully catered for throughout your stay.

We have a range of confidential CQC registered rehabs available for you to visit which are in close proximity to Manchester, with our closest centres in Blackpool and Birmingham.

Outpatient Rehab vs Private Rehab?

Greater Manchester is also in the worst 50% of the country for alcohol-specific mortality episodes per 100,000.

Public Health England has revealed that of the ten boroughs in Greater Manchester, 9 of them have a higher rate of alcohol-related deaths than the UK average.

Will I be Able to Recover Properly in Manchester?

Many clients will believe that recovery will be very difficult to achieve while surrounded by home comforts, routines and associations. In fact, this can actually be correct. If you are part of a particular social group or have a particular habit based on routine, not removing yourself from these scenarios reduces your chances of recovery.

Some people do manage to successfully quit an addiction via outpatient settings, but support from friends and family may also be necessary to increase your chances of recovering.

With this in mind, inpatient residential is the preferred choice for many people once they have taken the decision to try and quit alcohol or a particular drug.

A dedicated rehab clinic has all the facilities in place to help successfully complete your addiction treatment programme, while also experiencing an easier, more streamlined transition post-rehab. If you do have any concerns about localised recovery attempts or inpatient rehab, we invite you to contact our team.

Here is a short video example of community-based treatment services in Manchester:

Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment

At private rehab, there is a range of treatment options that are offered as part of your personalised addiction treatment programme. However, depending on your personal experience with drugs, alcohol and your behavioural addiction, a personalised combination will be promoted.

In order to ensure that holistic recovery can be achieved and sustained, you will complete both physical and psychological forms of addiction treatment. You’ll likely require a drug and alcohol detox to influence the initial withdrawal, along with therapy sessions, support groups and exposure therapy. You will complete:

• A Medically Assisted Detox
• Multiple Therapy Sessions

Residential Detox Process

Upon your arrival at one of our rehab centres, you will begin a detoxification programme that will remove the drug or alcohol from your body. Drug and alcohol detox involves stopping the intake of the substance you are addicted to cold turkey.

Our medical teams will be at hand to prescribe prescription drugs where appropriate to see you through the worst of the withdrawal symptoms that you may experience.

The withdrawal symptoms that you will experience will depend on the substance abuse that you are addicted to. Some drugs such as cocaine will only have psychological effects, whereas drugs such as heroin cause severe physical symptoms.

Please keep in mind that the type and length of drug and alcohol treatment options will differ for each client, and detox typically lasts between 5-10 days. You will be provided with a comprehensive programme on your admission into rehab.

Therapy Treatment

Next, we will focus on your mental health. The mental recovery you must also undertake should not be discounted as it will play a key role in ensuring you do not relapse in the future when you have left rehab.

Some of the traditional and holistic treatments we offer include:

• Cognitive behavioural therapy
• Individual therapy
• Group therapy
• Holistic therapies, including art therapy
• Well-being therapies, such as meditation
• Family therapy

Every person seeking addiction treatment has a different story, as well as physical and mental capabilities. Our residential rehab programmes are tailored around your condition, both for your physical and mental health.

What Drug or Alcohol Addiction Can I get Treatment For?

At rehab in Manchester, you can get treatment for all forms of addiction. It could be a common addiction such as alcohol or it could be a lesser-known addiction, for example, you require prescription drug addiction treatment. Our CQC registered rehabs have a wealth of experience in treating people for:

• Alcohol addiction
• Heroin addiction
• Cocaine addiction
• Prescription Drug Addictions
• LSD
• Ketamine
• Crystal Meth
• Dual diagnosis

We also treat people at rehab for behavioural addictions such as gambling, pornography and sex addictions. Addictive behaviours can often lead to further addictions, which is why the mental aspect of recovery is so important. and therapy placed as a foundation in your programme.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

As part of our rehab treatment, we offer dual diagnosis treatment programmes for people who suffer from co-existing mental health issues and drug or alcohol addiction.

Dual diagnosis consists of similar aspects to our other treatment programmes, but there is an additional focus on your mental health. It is extremely important to treat both elements, as bad mental health makes the likelihood of relapse much higher.

Mental health disorders and drug and alcohol addiction commonly go hand in hand, as drug and alcohol misuse can cause symptoms of depression and anxiety, causing mental health problems. Alternatively, people who suffer from mental health issues sometimes turn to addictive substances in order to self-medicate and alleviate symptoms.

This is why we offer a different treatment programme for everyone. Our rehab facilities understand that every person is different, so we create a personalised treatment programme to ensure that all of our residents get the best treatment for them.

If you have an addiction and have been experiencing some mental health problems, contact us today to find out more about the drug and alcohol addictions we treat. You can call us for free on 0800 012 6088.

Can I get NHS Funding for Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Manchester?

This is a common question we are asked as some can find the cost of drug and alcohol rehab a daunting prospect. Residential rehab is often the last resort when it comes to the NHS funding and because of this, patients of very frequently offered outpatient rehab instead.

This is not to say that residential rehab won’t be offered, and some people can get funding for residential rehab for drug and alcohol rehab clinics near Manchester.

In order to get funding, you’ll need to be referred to your local Drug And Alcohol Team (DAAT). You will normally be referred by a GP but you can also get in touch with a social worker and they may refer you.

Once you have been referred to the DAAT they will make their own assessment and advise your next steps. They may offer you outpatient rehab but if for whatever reason you still require residential rehab and you have committed to the cause, they may offer residential rehab.
