Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Havant

If you are addicted to drugs and alcohol in the Havant area, then it is important to understand that you are not alone in this.

In fact, there are hundreds of people in your area who are currently suffering from the same addiction issues as you are.

In fact, a recent study carried out by the Hampshire council found that more people than ever in the Havant area are consuming drugs and alcohol. In fact, lots of young people are now abusing alcohol as well as a range of other illegal drugs.

The same study found that almost 50% of all children aged between just 11 – 15 years old had already consumed alcohol before. This is higher than the national average [1].

When it comes to addiction, approximately half of all young people (aged under 18 years old) who were in treatment for a substance use addiction said that their use started as young as 15 years old [1].

Of those young people who were in treatment for their addiction, over 80% were addicted to more than one substance by the time they accessed treatment services [1]. Again, this is much higher than the national average which usually sits at around 80% [1].

Adults living in Havant and the rest of Hampshire are unfortunately no better. Unfortunately, over 25% of all adults currently living in Hampshire and Havant are at risk of drinking too much alcohol [1].

Unfortunately, for many people, this results in hospital admission. In fact, in Havant and the rest of Hampshire, there were around 23,000 people admitted to the hospital with an alcohol-related issue [1].

On top of this, the latest studies have unfortunately shown that liver disease and liver cancer are now on the rise across Hampshire as a result of excessive alcohol abuse [1].

Whilst a lot of people in Hampshire and Havant are in treatment for their substance use disorder, approximately 90% of dependent drinkers are not currently receiving treatment for their addiction [1].

When it comes to drug abuse in Havant and Hampshire, a shocking 8.7% of all 11 to 15 years olds have taken cannabis, and 3.2% have admitted to taking other illegal and psychoactive substances [1].

There are a lot of people living in Havant and Hampshire who abuse opiates and cocaine. As we all know, these types of drugs are incredibly dangerous and can cause significant harm.

Unfortunately, there are just over 4,000 opiate and crack cocaine users currently living in the Havant area, and of these individuals just over 1,500 choose to inject the drugs into their bodies [1].

How does drug and alcohol rehab in Havant work?

Whilst most people have heard about rehab at some point during their life, not everyone truly understands what rehab consists of.

This is because unless you have attended drug and alcohol rehab in Havant or elsewhere yourself, then you are unlikely to have a true and accurate understanding of what it is really like.

If you are currently struggling with an addiction to drugs or alcohol, then you might be feeling anxious about what your treatment within a rehab facility would look like.  Naturally, this makes a lot of people hesitant to get the help that they need.

However, at Rehab Recovery we do not want anyone to miss out on getting the help that they need because they are too scared to face a drug and alcohol rehab facility. In reality, drug and alcohol rehab in Havant is nowhere near as daunting or scary as you might initially think.

When you first attend drug and alcohol rehab in Havant, you will be assessed by a range of doctors and therapists to assess what type of treatment you need.

If you suffer from a physically addictive substance then you will have to undergo a physical detox first, before undergoing any other type of therapy techniques.

Once you have undergone your physical detox, you will then receive a range of therapy techniques such as cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing, one-to-one therapy, group therapy or even family therapy.

If you respond well to these types of therapy techniques, then you might be able to leave the rehab facility after just a few weeks.

If your addiction is more severe, then you might need to stay a few months in order to recover. This will also depend on how severe your addiction is and how well you respond to treatment and therapy.

If you still need support even after you leave drug and alcohol rehab in Havant, then you will be offered a range of aftercare and support services, some of which are listed and explained below.

How does detox work?

If you are addicted to a physically addictive drug or substance, then you will know just how difficult it can be to overcome the cravings and urges you get to consume and abuse the addictive substance in question.

In fact, it is somewhat impossible to overcome an addiction to a physically addictive drug without detoxing or withdrawing first.

A detox is when you actively withdraw from taking the addictive substance for a prolonged period of time so that you give your body time to function without the substances. By doing this, your body will start to function by itself, and you will overcome your cravings.

Your detox will last a number of days or even sometimes weeks, depending on how severe your addiction is. During this time, you will experience a range of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.

Withdrawal symptoms during your detox are very common, in fact they are guaranteed. This is why you need to ensure that you are in a safe environment when you detox, unless you are eligible for a home detox.

Your detox can last for anything between a few days and a few weeks. Some people experience extreme withdrawal symptoms for a number of days, and others experience very mild withdrawal symptoms over a longer period of time.

Some people also need to withdraw from the addictive substance slowly, to avoid overwhelming and shocking the body. This might mean that you have to slowly reduce the number of drugs or alcohol that you consume, rather than stopping quickly and altogether.

Once you have attended your detox and come out of the other side, you will then be in a better position to benefit from other recovery techniques such as therapy. Some of these therapy techniques are listed and explained below.

If you or someone you know is suffering from an addiction issue, then speak to a member of our team at Rehab Recovery for help and support.

What therapy techniques are available to me?

How much does drug and alcohol rehab in Havant cost?

How much your stint in drug and alcohol rehab in Havant costs depends on a number of different factors.

These factors include how long you stay in rehab for, what type of rehab centre you attend and whether or not you need a detox. The cost of your stay in rehab will also depend massively on whether you choose to stay in a private room, or a shared room.

Whether you opt for inpatient or outpatient rehab treatment will also change how expensive your stay is.

This is because inpatient rehab treatment requires you to stay inside the rehab centre for a period of time, which naturally incurs more cost.

This money will be spent on things such as your food, toiletries and medication whilst you stay within the rehab centre.

Opting for a private room will also mean that you end up paying more for your stay in drug and alcohol rehab.

For example, a 10-day stay in a drug and alcohol rehab centre in a private room could cost you approximately £3,000. In some rehab centres, this could cost up to £6,000, depending on where you are in the country.

If you decide to opt for a shared room then this cost does come down slightly, to anything between £2,000 and £4,000.

However, most people end up having to stay in rehab for a longer period of time. For example, most people stay in rehab for around 28 days, which means that the cost increases.

A 28-day stay in a private rehab centre will cost you around £12,000 for a private room and around £6,000 for a shared room.

As you can imagine, not everyone who suffers from an addiction is able to pay these costs. If you are unable to pay for private drug and alcohol rehab in Havant, then you might want to consider either a home detox, or opting for NHS-funded drug and alcohol rehab.

If you or someone you know is suffering from an addiction issue, then speak to a member of our team at Rehab Recovery for help and support.

How long does drug and alcohol rehab in Havant last?

How long individuals have to stay in rehab depends on lots of things. This will include how severe your addiction is, what types of substances you are addicted to, whether you are addicted to one substance or more, and whether you require a detox in order to recover.

A detox lasts at least 10 days. Usually, it takes individuals longer to detox successfully. Once individuals have detoxed from the addictive substance, they then need to undergo a range of different therapy techniques.

This could then take a number of weeks or even sometimes months in order to undergo.

Most people stay in rehab for approximately 28 days. This is if your addiction issues are mild or moderate. If your addiction is more severe than this, then you could end up staying in rehab for as much as 60 – 90 days.

It is natural to feel anxious about how long you might have to stay in rehab for. However, how long you have to stay in drug and alcohol rehab will be discussed before you are admitted into the rehab facility so that you won’t have any nasty surprises or shocks.

What are the benefits of attending private drug and alcohol rehab in Havant?

There are a whole host of benefits when it comes to attending private drug and alcohol rehab in Havant. Firstly, you will gain access to treatment almost immediately.

This means that you will not have to wait to attend rehab, as you would with NHS-funded rehab treatment. For those suffering from a severe addiction to drugs or alcohol, this makes a huge difference.

You will also gain access to around-the-clock, high end and professional medical care and support. You will be assessed by doctors, clinicians and psychotherapists to give you the best chance possible at recovering.

You will also be offered ongoing and long-term care and support after you leave the private rehab facility. This will most likely include things such as self-help groups and outpatient treatment.

Whilst private drug and alcohol rehab in Havant might be expensive, investing in your health is often the best way to spend your money. If you or someone you know is suffering from an addiction issue, then speak to a member of our team at Rehab Recovery for help and support.

What is included in aftercare?

Aftercare is a crucial and necessary part of anyone’s long term recovery. Without attending aftercare and support groups after leaving inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Havant, you are unfortunately more likely to relapse afterwards at some point.

This relapse could happen days, weeks, months or even sometimes years after leaving drug and alcohol rehab, and will mean that you might have to go back into rehab in order to start all over again when it comes to your recovery from addiction.

There are many things included in a normal aftercare and support plan. This includes a range of aftercare and support groups to attend. This will include access to support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and SMART meetings.

You will also receive your very own relapse prevention plan, which includes a list of helpful tips and advice on how to avoid relapsing. This will include a list of local helplines, techniques and self help groups.

You will also be offered outpatient rehab treatment if your addiction was severe, which allows you access to rehab treatment for a number of months after initially leaving the rehab centre.
