If alcohol or drug abuse is causing you suffering then the obvious answer is to stop engaging in this behaviour and start seeking help.
If you have already tried to deal with things yourself and failed, then this could be a sign that professional rehab is what you need.
It can be difficult to admit that we need help to deal with our problems, but this is often what we need to do in order to get the right rehab support and escape these problems once and for all.
Staggeringly, in terms of alcohol use, there were 3,452 people admitted to hospital due to excessive drinking in 2018. [2] Although this is concerning, these statistics are not surprising given the prevalence of binge drinking in the United Kingdom and the need for widespread alcohol rehab support.
Addiction is a disease that takes a grip on thousands of people with devastating effects and demands proper rehab treatment to overcome.
The way substances impact the brain means that this isn’t a disease that people can simply halt.
Addiction changes the way the brain functions and thereafter behaviour.
This is why rehab treatment from a team of professionals is essential for a person to be able to achieve recovery.

Residential drug & alcohol rehab Cambridgeshire: The benefits
Addiction is not considered a ‘choice’ or ‘moral failing’ on behalf of the addiction sufferer – so the focus of rehab is always on treating the disease of addiction.
Going to rehab in Cambridgeshire might seem intimidating.
It’s helpful to focus on the benefits you stand to gain from rehab rather than the challenge that you’re beginning to face.
A private rehab offers the easiest way to become sober and navigate those early days of cravings, and a residential rehab can be far more effective than outpatient rehab treatment.
What you’ll experience at a private residential rehab in Cambridgeshire:
- A personalised rehab treatment programme that has been devised from an assessment of your addiction and treatment needs.
- 24-hour care from clinical staff, therapists, and experienced rehab workers.
- Therapies that will unravel the cause of your addiction and how to create a future of change after rehab.
- A clinical alcohol or drug detox to ensure withdrawal is safe and that you are well looked after in the earliest days of rehab.
- Nutritious meals for you to enjoy and to replenish your mind and body.
- Space away from the usual triggers that cause you to use drugs and alcohol, instead providing a serene and temptation-free rehab environment.
- Group therapy work connects you to other rehab patients in similar situations.
- Alternative therapies such as yoga, mindfulness, reiki, and equine therapy to improve your overall well-being.

NHS-funded alcohol and drug addiction treatment services in Cambridge

NHS addiction treatment services [3] are different from private rehabs.
They offer an outpatient rehab service that includes weekly group sessions for all to access.
There are usually drop-ins to join and sometimes people might have the opportunity for some specialist addiction counselling.
Some people are able to secure funding to pay for residential rehab treatment through the NHS, however this is very hard to achieve and not possible for the vast majority of applicants.

Are there other places you can go for addiction treatment in Cambridgeshire?
Professionally supported drug and alcohol rehab in Cambridgeshire is one of the best ways to recover from addiction, but it isn’t for everyone.
As such, there are several other options for alcohol or drug addiction treatment aside from rehab.
It’s helpful to bear in mind, though, that in the case of severe addiction a private rehab clinic will always offer the best and most individualised treatment programme in Cambridgeshire.
Many free rehab services operate throughout Cambridgeshire, some of them provided through the National Health Service or an associated NHS Foundation Trust, [4] including:

Other addiction treatment options and rehab alternatives in Cambridgeshire include:
- Going to a support group like Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous Cambridgeshire, or SMART Recovery. These are available in most local towns and offer a beneficial space for people to connect with others regularly, just like group therapy at rehab. Other derivative groups also exist, like Al-Anon Family Group Meetings and Alateen.
- Having a home detox. A doctor would oversee this and contact the patient daily to provide prescription drugs for a tapered detox, similar to the detox process at rehab, although without such thorough oversight.
- Outpatient services at a private rehab clinic or specialist medical service.
- Family groups for those who love someone with an addiction and need support setting boundaries and knowing how to take care of themselves.

When would an intervention in Cambridgeshire be helpful?
For families who are concerned about a loved one having an alcohol or drug addiction, knowing what to do can be a real source of stress.
This is especially the case when a person is in denial of their problem and where the person or people around them are at serious risk of harm.
When this happens, an intervention can be the key to getting a loved one the rehab support they need.
Traditionally, an intervention will be a relaxed meeting where the family members explain their worries to the addiction sufferer, with an attendant intervention professional keeping the conversation on-track and explaining the various rehab treatment options available.
The CRAFT intervention [5] is an alternative approach that focuses on using positive reinforcement over a longer period, teaching the family how to communicate effectively in order to be more positive around the addiction sufferer and more gently guiding them towards rehab treatment.

How much does drug and alcohol rehab in Cambridgeshire cost?

The doctor is in daily contact and will prescribe medications to manage the tapered withdrawal process.

How long do people stay at rehab in Cambridgeshire?
A residential stay at a drug & alcohol rehab in Cambridgeshire might last a minimum of around 10 days.
This might be in the instance of weaning a person successfully off alcohol or heroin through a rehab detox.
However, most people will require further psychological input which typically lasts another 3-4 weeks at rehab.
All people being treated for severe alcohol or drug addiction really require around 28 days at a rehab clinic. When this amount of time is spent at the rehab clinic, people are able to benefit from the immersive psychological and alternative therapies available.
This offers a solid start to rehab recovery.

Detox at drug and alcohol rehab in Cambridgeshire
Detox is an essential rehab step for people who have developed a physical dependence on substances such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, ketamine and heroin.
This is because the substances have caused a need in the body that needs proper rehab support or other medical treatment to address.
Without these substances, the body starts to severely and physically react.
Detox does not apply in the case of rehab treatment for non-physically dependent substances, such as cocaine dependence, cannabis use disorder or behavioural addictions (i.e gambling addiction).
In the case of alcohol addiction, withdrawal symptoms are not only seriously distressing but they can also be extremely dangerous without rehab support.
Alcohol withdrawal symptoms include:
- Shaking or Delirium Tremens
- Sweating profusely
- Throwing up and diarrhoea
- Irritability and low mood
- Hallucinations
- Wernicke’s encephalopathy
- Alcohol seizures
For people who experience seizures, this can lead to death, hence the need for a medically-assisted detox at rehab.
It is essential people in this situation are looked after by a qualified medical team at rehab or a medical centre to become sober in a healthy way.
The medical team will provide the prescription drug Librium (also known as Chlordiazepoxide) for a person addicted to alcohol in order to manage their tapered withdrawal with full rehab support.
This will last between 7-10 days and help to mitigate the worst effects of alcohol withdrawal syndrome.
Heroin detox is extremely important to ensure a safe recovery at rehab in Cambridgeshire, not just for heroin addiction but also for any opioid use disorder.
Medications like methadone and buprenorphine are widely used to make heroin withdrawal a much safer process and make the rehab process ultimately successful.
Make sure that your alcohol or drug detox is safe and effective with the help of rehab in Cambridgeshire – call us today on 0800 088 66 86
Cocaine rehab in Cambridgeshire
Many people are entering rehab for cocaine and crack cocaine use.
The rise in accessibility of cocaine means more addictions are developing to this substance and more people need rehab treatment for it.
Cocaine creates serious psychological addiction, with its use quickly becoming compulsive.
It’s easy for people who started using cocaine as an occasional social event to find themselves using it daily.
At rehab, therapists and addiction counsellors support patients to understand where this behaviour came from.
There is also discussion around what maintains use and how to stop this use and take control of thought processes, helping patients maintain their sobriety after rehab.
Cocaine detox will not be necessary, as cocaine is not physically addictive.
A person is also encouraged to start planning a lifestyle to engage with once they leave rehab.
A life that will include new activities that bring the person purpose and fulfillment without resorting to using cocaine.

Cannabis rehab in Cambridgeshire
Cannabis isn’t often viewed as being a problem substance. Anyone addicted, though, will know that there are consequences.
This might be linked to how motivation is reduced and people might not feel able to function until they’ve “had a smoke” or it could be linked to relying on cannabis to sleep.
The THC chemical in cannabis is psychoactive. It has a direct impact on the brain. This can cause changes in how a person processes thoughts and feelings. People can start to feel paranoid and anxious.
Because it is not physically addictive, there is no such thing as a cannabis detox.
Instead, therapies will concentrate on grounding the person and unpicking what has caused cannabis to become such a big part of their life.
Talking and guided activities allow the person to self-reflect and come to understand what they need to do in order to remain sober.

Heroin rehab in Cambridgeshire
A person entering rehab to be treated for heroin addiction will begin with a detox.
This is because the person needs to be weaned off the heroin in a tapered way under strict supervision from rehab professionals.
A doctor will prescribe medication such as Subutex to do this, performing a tapered heroin detox typically over 10 days under constant rehab support and keeping withdrawal symptoms to a minimum.
After this period, the person will enter a course of psychological and alternative rehab therapies to address the mental aspect of their addiction.
The patient will speak about their past, present and hopes for the future after heroin rehab.
The therapists will offer a safe space to share and guide a person to understand how to manage emotional responses and make the most of their time in rehab.
An in-depth relapse prevention plan will start to be developed in order to ensure the person is fully supported to remain sober upon leaving rehab.

When is a dual diagnosis given at a drug and alcohol rehab in Cambridgeshire?
For thousands of people in the UK, addiction is very likely to stem from a mental health problem.
The two illnesses often correlate and need dual treatment whilst at rehab.
Where symptoms linked to depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia exist, people often turn to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate.
When a person turns to substances regularly over a period of time, this can obviously cause an addiction that needs rehab treatment.
Many people, though, might believe they have either one or the other. The fact that both exist can often be overlooked until a GP or rehab provides a formal dual diagnosis.
Mental illnesses that are common comorbidities of addiction include:
- Schizophrenia
- Bipolar Disorder
- Eating disorders
- Depression
- Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Codependency
When a person enters rehab, they will undergo psychiatric assessments. Where both an addiction and mental health problem exist, this will be identified and an appropriate rehab treatment plan will be designed.
Many organisations across the UK offer free mental health support, whether you are also suffering from addiction or not.
Some of the most useful services outside of rehab include Mind UK, Young Minds, Rethink Mental Illness, Samaritans and Papyrus.
Several physical complications are also commonly associated with addiction and need to be considered during rehab treatment, including:
- Liver failure
- Hepatitis
- Heart issues
- Blood pressure issues
- Brain damage
- Gastrointestinal issues
These are also considered comorbid conditions and their presence will be a key influence in an individual’s rehab treatment plan in Cambridgeshire or near Cambridgeshire.

How a relapse prevention plan supports you after rehab in Cambridgeshire
During your time at a rehab clinic, a member of staff will work with you to develop a relapse prevention plan.
It has to be thorough and robust in order to successfully support you to remain sober when you leave rehab.
You’ll discuss what triggers you have and what makes you usually turn to alcohol and drugs. The member of rehab staff will enable you to identify safe go-to behaviours to manage triggers.
Relapse prevention forms a key part of your rehab aftercare plan.
A study conducted by Dennis Donovan found that people in recovery from alcoholism who attend rehab aftercare groups for 9 months are 3 times more likely to remain sober than those who didn’t receive aftercare.
Rehab aftercare plans can include guidance for a wide range of different supplementary services, such as:
- Alcoholics Anonymous [6]
- Narcotics Anonymous [7]
- Cocaine Anonymous [8]
- SMART Recovery [9]
- Al-Anon Family Meetings [10]
- Alateen [11]
- Further outpatient treatment via a local rehab clinic
- Home detox (in the case of relapse)
