Who are Alcohol Rehab Services aimed at?

Alcohol rehab services are aimed at individuals who suffer with an addiction to alcohol.  For those who have built up a physical dependence on alcohol and experience withdrawal symptoms when they stop drinking, alcohol rehab services provide the medical support required in order to come off of alcohol in a safe and controlled manner.  Alcohol rehab services also help individuals to address the behavioural patterns associated with addiction and make changes to their lifestyle to maintain sobriety in the future. It can also often be the case that someone with an addiction is not taking care of themselves to a satisfactory standard. Alcohol rehab services can help by offering a detox and general psychological and emotional support to help the individual improve their general physical wellbeing and become more stable with their recovery.

What types of alcohol rehab services are available?

Private residential clinics can provide the most immediate access to treatment for alcohol addiction. There are a wide range of private residential alcohol rehab services across the UK.  Each clinic will vary in terms of their program, facilities, staffing levels and accommodation. The typical treatment provided as part of alcohol rehab services includes a fully medicated detox where required and therapeutic and psychological support to address underlying issues. This will also teach the individual the skills required to maintain abstinence following treatment.

It is also possible to access overseas services for alcohol rehab. The benefits of this option can include accessing unique treatment surroundings, better value in some cases for high levels of accommodation and facilities, and also being completely removed from previous problematic surroundings.

For those who are not in a position to fund treatment privately, accessing support through the NHS is an alternative option. Typically outpatient services may be offered. Accessing treatment through the NHS depends on an individual assessment to ascertain whether the person is suitable for residential treatment. Treatment offered will also depend on the level of funding and waiting lists in the area. The local addiction services will need to be contacted for further advice on waiting lists as they can vary in length from one area to the next.  Our advisors can give the contact details of local addiction services where required.

Although residential treatment is advised primarily for medical reasons and for the more intensive support offered, some individuals may consider outpatient treatment options. This can include a home detox where appropriate, counselling services, doctor appointments and care coordination visits. Support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous can also be accessed within the community.
