If you or someone you know is addicted to alcohol or drugs, accessing rehab help should be the first thing on your mind.

Sadly Westminster is no stranger to the disease of addiction.

A study carried out by the Westminster Primary Care Trusts’ Public Health Annual Report [1] found that there were approximately 2,283 ambulances called out in just one year for alcohol-related health issues in the borough of Westminster alone.

Alcohol-related death is an extremely serious issue across the UK, and sadly Westminster is not an exception, [2] indicating one of the key reasons why alcohol rehab and other drug treatment services are so vital.

What is alcohol & drug rehab in Westminster like?

Rehab is short for rehabilitation, generally used to refer to the facilities and courses dedicated to treating addiction issues.

There are two main types of addiction rehab facilities – inpatient and outpatient rehab treatment.

Inpatient rehab treatment involves temporarily moving into a rehab facility for a period of time, whereas outpatient rehab treatment allows people the chance to recover from their addiction in the comfort of their own homes.

During your time at the rehab, you will likely undergo a detox.

This will involve withdrawing from the addictive substance under rehab supervision until your body has adjusted to its absence.

This will allow your body time to overcome its dependence on the addictive substance.

Once you have completed your detox, you will then stay at rehab to focus on the psychological side of your addiction through a range of treatments, including therapy.

The aim of any rehab treatment is to give you back control over your body and mind so that you can return to day-to-day life without your addiction controlling you.

Once you finish your rehab plan, you will then be encouraged to attend a range of aftercare treatments, which can include mutual support groups such as:

• Alcoholics Anonymous [3]
• Narcotics Anonymous [4]
• Cocaine Anonymous [5]
• Al-Anon Family Group Meetings [6]
• Alateen [7]
• SMART Recovery Meetings [8]

These will help to keep you on track and provide direct support similar to that experienced at rehab, allowing you to avoid relapsing again in the future.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient drug & alcohol rehab in Westminster

As previously mentioned, there are two main types of drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster, mainly inpatient and outpatient rehab treatment.

Although both forms of treatment involve a combination of detox treatment and rehab therapy, there are some major differences between the two.

Inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster is a great option for anyone with a severe addiction issue. With inpatient rehab, you will move into a rehab facility for a set period of time to receive your treatment.

During this time, you will eat and sleep within the same rehab facility.

You will get the chance to opt for a private or shared room and will receive all of your treatment within the rehab facility.

This will include your detox (when necessary) and then a range of therapy treatments such as cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing and group therapy.

Your family will be able to visit you whilst you are at inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster, but they must always ring ahead and ensure that they are able to visit you, and will only be permitted to visit with your consent.

During outpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster, you will get to remain living at home while you receive your rehab treatment.

This is particularly good if you have certain responsibilities, such as a job or looking after children.

You get to remain sleeping and eating at home and will have to travel to a rehab facility each day or numerous times a week to receive your treatment.

Typically, outpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster last a lot longer than inpatient rehab does.

If you think that you need to attend drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster but are uncertain about whether inpatient and outpatient rehab would be better, then you should speak to a member of the Rehab Recovery team for help and advice.

Rehab treatment options for addiction to drugs or alcohol in Westminster

There are a range of different treatment options available to those in both inpatient and outpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster.

It is important to remember that if you suffer from a physical addiction to a physically addictive drug, then you will always need to undergo a detox before you can receive any other form of rehab treatment.

By doing this, you will be ridding your body of the addictive substance and will overcome your initial cravings for it.

Once this has been completed, your rehab treatment will then go on to focus on the psychological side of your addiction.

This will include receiving therapy to help get to the root cause or causes of your addiction.

When you attend drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster, you will be offered a wide range of tried and tested therapy techniques.

Whilst not every therapy technique will be for you, it is important to keep an open and positive mindset going into therapy so that you can truly get the most out of your rehab recovery.

Below is a list of the most common rehab therapy techniques used throughout Westminster and the rest of the country:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
• Motivational Interviewing (MI)
• Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)
• Group Therapy
• Family Therapy
• Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
• Holistic Therapy (Art Therapy, Music Therapy, Drama Therapy, Mindfulness, etc.)
• Mindfulness
• Psychotherapy
• Brief Intervention
• Contingency Management

You should remain open-minded about all different types of therapies, and your doctors will be able to advise you on which rehab therapies would be most suitable for you and your specific addiction.

It is important to remember that each type of rehab therapy will be focused on your long-term recovery, so they will aim to get to the bottom of the triggers and the causes of your addiction.

Relapse prevention planning at drug & alcohol rehab in Westminster

Unfortunately, thousands of people who attend drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster go on to relapse again in the future.

This is simply because there are so many triggers within normal day-to-day life which makes staying sober extremely difficult for those struggling with an addiction issue, no matter how much rehab therapy you have had.

This is why most rehab centres across Westminster now include relapse prevention planning as part of their basic treatment services.

A lot of your time at rehab will involve relapse prevention planning so that you feel confident when leaving rehab you will not go on to relapse.

Relapse prevention plans are designed to provide you with tips and tricks on how to stay sober after rehab and will help to motivate you when times get tough.

Your rehab prevention plan will look at reducing any triggers and will aim to create a healthier lifestyle for you at home.

This will include rehab staff helping you to look at things such as your living arrangements, home environment, family and friendship networks and other things such as your diet.

How much does drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster cost?

Lots of people who contact us asking about drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster want to know how much their rehab treatment will cost.

Luckily, the NHS provides some drug and alcohol rehab treatment services, [9] although funding and therefore spaces are very limited.

This means that individuals who want to attend NHS-funded rehab treatment have to wait weeks or even months before they are able to be admitted into rehab.

This is why most people have to pay to attend private drug and alcohol rehab treatment.

How much private drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster costs depends on a number of different things, including how long you stay in rehab and what type of treatment you need in order to recover.

Private drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster could set you back anything between £2,000 and £12,000.

Opting for a private rehab room will obviously cost you more money than opting for a shared room.

How long does drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster last?

Many people put off attending drug and alcohol rehab in Westminster because they are nervous about how long it might last.

How long rehab lasts depends on how severe your addiction is, whether you require a medical detox and whether you opt for inpatient or outpatient rehab treatment.

Most people who require a detox have to stay in rehab for at least 10 days.

Most people have to stay in rehab for longer than this, although this is usually enough time to detox successfully.

If your addiction is moderate, then you will have to stay in rehab for at least 28 days, in order to receive a range of therapy techniques.

If your addiction is extremely severe, then you will have to stay in rehab for approximately 90 days or even longer.

If you require outpatient rehab treatment, then your therapy could go on to last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
