The West Midlands covers a large area which includes Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Walsall, Dudley, Solihull and Sandwell. As with any large metropolitan area, there is often a large problem with alcohol or drug addiction.

Finding treatment for these addictions can be found through private rehabilitation centres or through the local community. Here we will discuss what options are available, what addictions you can get treated for and the different types of treatment options available.

Living with an addiction can feel like a lonely time, as can planning your impending alcohol and drug rehab journey. Avoid this feeling of isolation by making use of our specialist support at Addiction Advocates, reputable in the rehab referral world.

Admission to Drug and Alcohol Rehab in West Midlands

It is possible to get into rehab within 48 hours of contacting us. As soon as you reach out to our admission team, we can get the ball rolling to organise drug and alcohol rehabilitation for you or a family member.

If you visit your GP waiting times could be extended, as people who seek treatment via referral through their GP are typically seen within 2 weeks.

This is due to the different types of treatment available to you. If you attend a private residential rehab you will be treated as an inpatient, which is a quick process.

When you seek free local support through your medical practice you will generally be referred to a local community drug or alcohol addiction unit and will receive outpatient treatment, which can take longer as these services are extremely busy.

At Addiction Advocates, we understand how damaging delays in receiving addiction treatment can be. With this in mind, we will complete a pre-admission assessment as soon as possible after your telephone enquiry to ensure that you are treated as quickly as possible.

This assessment will gauge the requirements you need for drug and alcohol rehab. Once we have your basic information such as your location, the type and severity of your alcohol or drug addiction and any other conditions you have such as mental health or physical health issues, we will then provide you with a recommendation to a drug and alcohol rehab in West Midlands that best suits your needs.

If you have a mild form of addiction and outpatient treatment could be a preferable option for you, our team will be able to identify what form of treatment will be recommended based on your circumstances.

Free Addiction Treatment West Midlands

Community services are provided through the local councils for the treatment of alcohol and drug addictions. To access these services you will be generally referred by your GP and in some centres, you can actually refer yourself for treatment of addictive substances.

These services are outpatient treatment, which can consist of therapy, support groups, general counselling and mentors. These services are free and recommended for a lot of people who are suffering from mild addictions and have the determination to beat their addiction.

Free treatment can be accessed in the following West Midland Centres:

You can also find a list of GP’S in the West Midlands and contact your local surgery to book an appointment with your Doctor. He will be able to access your condition and make a referral to community support.

Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are also great free services for people who have struggled with drug and alcohol addiction. These services are held weekly in the West Midlands to ensure that people feel supported and stay on track in their recovery.

Private Residential Treatment in the West Midlands

To stay at one of our CQC private rehab centres where you will receive 24-hour treatment, you will need to travel a short distance away from home.

This is often found to be very beneficial as moving into a private residential rehab means that you are taken out of your current environment into one that is designed to cure drug addictions. It can be triggering and difficult to stay on track if you are at home and trying to recover from addiction alone.

You will be under 24-hour supervision whilst you go through your alcohol detox and prescription medications can be provided to help you through withdrawal symptoms. This process is commonly known as going ‘cold turkey’.

Here you will undertake an extensive rehabilitation programme including drug and alcohol detoxification and therapy. This is the optimal choice to help you finally quit a life-altering addiction, from alcoholism to cocaine addiction.

Private residential is a paid service. Rehab cost can be off-putting for potential rehab clients as it can be hard to afford private rehab, however it is an investment that is invaluable to you – you won’t receive better treatment anywhere else.

On occasion, people do manage to be referred to a private rehab hospital via the NHS but due to public spending budgets, not everyone is successful.

To find out more about the cost of rehab or to get a free quote, please speak to one of our admissions team. You can call on 0800 012 6088 or fill out our contact form and we will get back to you as quickly as possible.

Staying in the West Midlands Area for Rehab

It can be a good decision to remain local when completing drug and alcohol rehabilitation, but this depends on how severe your addiction is.

For people with a very mild form of addiction, they may be able to safely use the local support services and manage to beat their addiction – many do.

Staying in your local area in the West Midlands also allows you to go to work and spend time with your family members if you are able to. You have the flexibility to fit outpatient sessions in as best as possible and you will not be removed from the outside world for an extended period of time.

However, for those suffering from a dangerous drug and alcohol addiction and who have a deep physical and psychological association with drugs or alcohol, residential rehab is the most recommended treatment option for you.

Through private rehab, you will have a greater opportunity to avoid familiar triggers, drug and alcohol exposure, as well as unhealthy environments. At our rehab centres, you will reside in a neutral, positive and relaxing environment where your sole focus is on your own recovery journey.

With this in mind, for rehab to have the greatest chance of success, it is encouraged that you opt for a private drug and alcohol rehab near the West Midlands with our addiction specialists.

Being removed from a toxic environment and surrounding yourself with medical and therapeutic support is hugely beneficial. Investing in intensive rehab over a period of time can bring fast results and reduce the chances of relapse, meaning that you can achieve long-term recovery.

Often, many of our clients are working in the major cities around the west midlands area, so we provide drug and alcohol rehab in Birmingham as well as other locations such as Dudley, Wolverhampton and more. We can support you with this at Addiction Advocates.

Mental Health and Addiction Support

Mental health support will go hand in hand with addiction treatment. As there is a high correlation between addiction and mental health issues, support and standalone treatment programmes must be available.

With this in mind, whether you’re suffering from anxiety, depression or further mental health issues when selecting a drug and alcohol rehab in West Midlands, you should also prioritise this level of support.

Your mental health can either strengthen or weaken your long-term recovery capabilities. This is the case throughout residential rehab and post-rehab. With this in mind, it is recommended that you embrace all support to help you continue through a positive, drug and alcohol-free future.

We offer dual diagnosis treatment options for anybody struggling with a co-occurring disorder. This provides you with the best addiction treatment available and gives you the best opportunity of making a full recovery.

It is important to remember that a dual diagnosis can materialise if support isn’t accepted. This can resurface addictive characteristics later down the line, on your return home. Down to this, we urge you to work on your mental health, as you will through addiction recovery.

Concerns over your next steps are very common. Rehab can be a daunting process to complete. Yet, through our affiliated rehab clinics, you can experience a worthwhile and comforting process.

From here, we can progress ahead, helping you access addiction treatment as soon as you’re ready and fit for rehabilitation.

Rehab Aftercare

Life after rehab can be a strange experience. After all, you’ll be returning to your old life in the West Midlands, yet without the dependence on drugs and alcohol. So far, you may have associated your environment, your relationships and your routines with substance abuse.

With this in mind, healthy coping strategies will be developed throughout rehab to ensure that you can face up to those old experiences.

It is important to note that drug and alcohol relapse risks will likely be present for you, as they are for many clients. However, through your actions post-rehab, you can control the severity of those risks.

By utilising your coping strategies, following healthy routines, disassociating yourself from drugs and alcohol, and by embracing aftercare services, you can learn to cope after rehab. Normalising sober living can take some time. Yet, with dedication and a long-term outlook, you can master it.

We offer one year of free aftercare to residents who have successfully completed a 28-day residential programme. Sessions take place weekly and ensure that you stay on track in the difficult period after leaving our facility.

To find out about our aftercare services, please contact a member of our admissions team who can talk you through the process. You can call us on 0800 012 6088 or fill out our contact form online.
