Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Twickenham

Are you considering entering an alcohol rehab in Twickenham? Perhaps you’re exhausted by the repercussions of alcohol or drugs and are ready for change.

In Richmond, there were 1,110 alcohol-related admissions to the hospital in 2018/20.[1]

Being such a densely populated district in the borough, Twickenham is obviously making up some of these numbers.

Twickenham also has the 16^th highest drug crime rate out of 94 postcodes in England and Wales.[2]

It’s clear that substance use is rife in the area.

Addiction is not considered a ‘choice’ or ‘moral failing’ on behalf of the addiction sufferer – rehab is about treating the disease of addiction.

You can read more about the disease of addiction here.

Read on to find out how you can support yourself to recover and avoid being a part of the figures above in the future.

What is alcohol addiction?

Developing an alcohol addiction means that your brain and your body have adapted to become dependent on alcohol to function. When this happens, it’s imperative you go to alcohol rehab in Twickenham for treatment.

Alcohol addiction is where the substance has created neural pathways that force you to have automatic thoughts and behaviours around drinking.

The GABA amino acid in your brain and the hormones released by the thyroid are also severely dysregulated by alcohol. When this happens, you need it, or the body can literally shut down (i.e. it can be fatal).

Treatment comes in the form of a medical detox; to manage the chemical imbalances and psychological therapies to rewrite the neural pathways.

What does drug and alcohol rehab in Twickenham involve?

Entering a drug rehab in Twickenham means entering a totally substance-free establishment. You’ll discover other people in similar situations and friendly, welcoming staff.

Each day will come with a series of treatments ranging from perhaps a relaxed yoga session to a peer support group, and then maybe you’ll have a therapy session.

Holding an intervention in Twickenham

If you love someone living with an addiction, then you’re living with its harrowing and devastating consequences too.

Sometimes it can be very difficult to avoid entering codependent relationships, which is why developing boundaries and making sure you set aside time for self-care is important.

Aside from this, there are interventions you can use that support your loved one and the rest of the household.

Many families try a traditional intervention which is where one or two family members and a doctor or drug worker approach the person with the addiction.

You talk about the addiction and how it impacts the person and the household and then discuss addiction treatment services in Twickenham.

Other families adopt the CRAFT intervention. This is where you follow a protocol learning more about the way addiction works.

You’ll get tips and techniques on how to communicate sensitively and with boundaries to your loved one. The focus is on building positive relationships in a way that encourages your loved one toward rehab.

Does the NHS pay for people to go to rehab in Twickenham?

Perhaps you’ve heard of people going to rehab and not paying for it. Some government funding is available through the local council that people can apply for. In order to get it, however, you’ll need to be eligible.

Firstly, you’ll need to be able to prove how committed to recovery you are. This means showing what you’re doing already.

The council grants money to people who are already accessing council-funded drug and alcohol services as this shows they’re committed. As well as this, you need to be from a low-income household.

You have to apply for the funding. At this point, your application will go up against others as many people apply for the funding. It’s up to the council staff to choose who is granted the rehab place.

How long will you have to stay at a drug and alcohol rehab in Twickenham?

It’s important to remember when thinking about the length of time you spend at a rehab centre that it takes practice, effort, and energy to identify and break old habits and form new ones.

This means the more time you can put in at the start, the more successful your recovery journey is likely to be.

Some people might enter rehab for a ten-day drug detox. It’s important to detox. However, it’s recommended that you stay for the recommended 28 days to work on the addiction’s psychological factors too.

How are NHS and private rehab in Twickenham different?

In Twickenham, you can access NHS services for addiction treatment and go to a private rehab.

NHS services are your local drug and alcohol clinic. They’re available to everyone in the community who is struggling with an addiction.

There is usually harm reduction advice, needle exchanges, drop-in clinics, as well as weekly group sessions.

Going to private alcohol rehab in Twickenham means you’ll receive a tailored treatment programme to suit your needs. Private clinics offer the best resources in treatment to get you off the substance.

What is meant by inpatient and outpatient services in Twickenham?

Professionally supported drug and alcohol rehab is one of the best ways to recover from addiction.

There are two types of establishments you can go to to be treated for alcohol and drug addiction; inpatient or outpatient.

As an outpatient, you remain living at home and go to a clinic in Twickenham for various treatments. This is how council-funded services work.

They’re especially useful at supporting people with mild substance misuse and those who live hectic lives and can’t stay at a clinic away from home.

As an inpatient, you will go to stay in a residential clinic, also known as “rehab”. This is where you stay to receive an intense programme of treatments to become sober. Residential rehab services are for people with moderate to severe addictions.

Alcohol detox and alcohol rehab in Twickenham

Being treated for alcohol addiction in Twickenham means you’ll need a team that focuses on your physical dependency and symptoms and then a team for your psychological addiction.

Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can include some of the following:

• Tremors
• Mood swings
• Sweating
• Nausea and sickness
• Diarrhoea
• Confusion and hallucinations
• Seizures
• Delirium Tremens
• Wernicke’s Encephalopathy

These symptoms can be dangerous. The safest way to stop drinking when your addiction is moderate to severe is through alcohol detox at an alcohol rehab in Twickenham.

The detox lasts up to ten days. After that, an on-site doctor will oversee your withdrawal and prescribe medication (Librium) to ease the process.

Once you’re safely off the alcohol, you’ll be supported by a team of therapists and counsellors to tackle the psychological aspects of your addiction.

This takes longer, so staying at rehab in Twickenham for a few more weeks is advisable.

Rehab for cocaine in Twickenham

There are drug addiction treatment options in Twickenham if you need to stop using cocaine or crack. These drugs are very similar, and their effects on health are especially damaging.

Long-term cocaine and crack-cocaine use is linked to the following:

• Impaired immune system functioning
• Increased risk of colds and flu
• Increased risk of illnesses and diseases, especially of the heart and lungs
• Impaired mental health
• Skin sores and erosion of nose cartilage

You’ll have developed what is known as a psychological addiction. As such, staff at a cocaine rehab will treat you through various therapies and addiction counselling, rather than any kind of cocaine detox.

You’ll discover techniques that will force you to change how you think in a positive way.

This is imperative to changing behaviours because all behaviour originates from thoughts. As well as this, you’ll be supported around developing a plan on how to approach your life without using the drug so that you find meaning and purpose.

Rehab for heroin in Twickenham

When you develop an addiction to heroin, it affects all systems of the body. In addition, long-term use is known to reduce cognitive functioning, meaning you’ll find it harder to problem solve and make decisions.

Not only is it difficult to quit heroin because of the psychological cravings and physical withdrawal, but your mental processing also doesn’t support you because it’s not working at its optimum capacity.

Heroin rehab in Twickenham will offer you a heroin detox and psychological treatments too.

The detox lasts up to ten days and will likely include a prescription drug called Subutex. Heroin causes the following withdrawal symptoms:

• Pain in the bones
• Pain in muscles
• Sickness
• Sweating
• Diarrhoea
• Hallucinations

The prescription reduces these symptoms, so you’re safe, relaxed, and able to wean off heroin. Staff oversee this as your comfort is the priority.

Once detox is complete, it’s time to move on to addressing the underpinnings of the addiction. Again, therapists will support you to identify this and learn how to change your reactions going forward.

Rehab for cannabis in Twickenham

There are various ways people ingest cannabis. It’s put into foods, infused into oils, and blended with tobacco. It can be eaten, drank, or smoked.

Many people don’t realise cannabis can cause drug addiction, but like any other psychoactive substance, it can.

There are various negative effects that cannabis can cause:

• Anxiety
• Low mood
• Impaired sleep
• Hallucinations
• Schizophrenia
• Psychosis
• Increased risks to lungs (smoking releases toxic fumes).

Upon entering a cannabis rehab in Twickenham, a psychiatrist or therapist will assess you. They’ll ask questions about your health, mental health, your life at home, work, and how you manage cannabis use at the moment.

From this, they’ll decide what treatments will be best for you. You’ll have a combination of psychotherapies and alternative therapies. You will not need to undergo a cannabis detox

What treatments with you have at a private drug and alcohol rehab in Twickenham?

When you have an alcohol or drug addiction, every part of your mind and body is affected. As well as this, the effects ripple out, influencing relationships and social functioning.

After years, the way you are can feel a lot different to the way you were or how you know you would be without the substances.

It takes a lot of approaches and addiction treatment methods to support you to begin to heal and to give you the tools to remain sober in the future.

At an alcohol rehab in Twickenham, you can expect to receive the following:

• Different types of psychotherapy, including Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). DBT focuses on how you process emotions, where they’re stored in the body and how to manage your responses in a positive manner. Doing so helps to prevent you from returning to alcohol and drugs in the future. CBT is concerned with thoughts because your thoughts drive you to act. You’ll learn how to take back control of thoughts and redirect them to healthy behaviours.
• Various types of counselling based on conversations with individual counsellors. Counselling offers you the space to safely explore anything that comes to mind in relation to the addiction or anything that might be driving you to use alcohol and drugs. The counsellor will support you in finding new ways of thinking about things.
• Motivational Interviewing is where you’ll have sessions which explore your motivations behind entering rehab. Interestingly, this type of therapy can help you discover other drives you have around quitting. This also leads to Motivational Enhancement Therapy, to strengthen these drives.
• Brief Interventions give you new insights into substances and what they mean when you use them.
• A range of alternative therapies and activities. These provide excellent ways to ground and relax the body by thinking about the body first. For example, you might try yoga, meditation, art therapy, music therapy, equine therapy and mindfulness.
• Each day you’ll also take part in group sessions. These allow you to find social connections and make new realisations by sharing and providing feedback with other residents. In addition, you’re likely to follow 12-Step principles as these are so effective at supporting people to remain sober their entire lives.

What is dual diagnosis?

Some residents at rehab in Twickenham are treated for a dual diagnosis. This means their treatment programmes include therapeutic input to support them for both addiction and mental health conditions.

The two are very much linked. For example, people often use substances to “self-medicate” around symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. But, of course, long-term use can then lead to addiction.

Staff at a rehab centre will be equipped to support you in both areas.

While the main focus is on the addiction and becoming sober, you’ll also be supported around mental health symptoms too. It’s common for one to improve as the other does.

Relapse prevention planning at a drug and alcohol rehab in Twickenham

Experts have agreed that abstinence is always the safer and more effective route to addiction recovery.

During your time as a resident at an alcohol rehab in Twickenham, staff will support you in developing a relapse prevention plan.

This will mean that you need to talk about the people, events, memories, etc., which can trigger a craving.

Sharing honestly about this means you’ll then be able to better prepare steps on what you should do when you find yourself in this situation.

Your relapse prevention plan will include; various healthy coping mechanisms you can use, helpful people and organisations you contact, and future plans and goals, which might include the development of new hobbies.

As well as this, it will be clearly stated what to do should you relapse.

Make sure that your time at a drug and alcohol rehab in Twickenham sets you up to avoid relapse in the best possible way by calling our team today on 0800 140 4690

Aftercare support after rehab in Twickenham

There are different places you can access if you want a bit more support after leaving rehab around addiction treatment.

• Alcoholics Anonymous runs every week in various locations, including in Twickenham. You can drop in as and when you want and be as active as you want. Some people share; others opt against doing so. Some members develop friendships and make it a mission to find value in supporting others.
• Narcotics Anonymous is much the same as AA above. Like AA, there is also an emphasis on finding your “higher power” in order to draw strength.
• Home detox is available to people who require a detox but don’t necessarily need to go back to a private clinic for a stay. A doctor will be in daily contact with you to check you are managing and prescribe medication.
• SMART Recovery groups. These are beneficial if you struggle to break things down and the idea of recovery feels overwhelming. With the support of others, you can stay focused on sobriety and do so in a way that feels achievable each day.
• If your family members are struggling to come to terms with issues related to your substance use, they can contact AdFam or Al-Anon for support.
• Local alcohol and drug services offer one-to-one support and weekly group sessions.
