Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Berwick

Berwick (or Berwick-upon-Tweed) is a town in Northumberland on the northern coast of England.

One report suggested that in Northumberland, there is an unmet treatment need of 79%.

This means that 79% (over three-quarters) of adults struggling with alcohol addiction in Northumberland are not currently accessing appropriate support.

Similarly, there is an unmet treatment need of 58% of adults that are currently dealing with an addiction to heroin or other opiates.

Clearly Northumberland as a county has a need for drug and alcohol rehab, and Berwick is no exception.

Addiction and Family Situations

Between April 2019 and March 2022, 802 adults started drug or alcohol treatment in Northumberland.

The report looked into the family categories of these adults and found that:

• 128 (16%) of these adults were parents (or were living with children)
• 266 (33%) of these adults were parents not currently living with their children
• 408 (51%) of these adults did not have parental responsibilities

This suggests that there are many adults who would benefit from formal contact with drug and alcohol rehab in Berwick.

This kind of treatment can take several forms, including:

• Prescription medications
• Addiction counselling
• Behavioural therapy (such as cognitive behavioural therapy or dialectical behavioural therapy)
• Group therapy
• Family therapy
• Support groups

It is much harder to access inpatient treatment through the NHS due to extensive waiting times and the high cost of this form of treatment.

Private Rehabilitation

Private rehabilitation refers to recovery options offered through external providers.

Often, these providers, are addiction specialists and therefore solely offer health care and support aimed to help with substance misuse.

A private drug and alcohol rehab in Berwick, as well as the many addiction treatment services across the UK and overseas, will be staffed by medical professionals that all take a positive, person-centred approach to addiction treatment.

Overall private rehabilitation is one of the best ways to get sober and stay sober, as its higher success rates, personalised treatment plans and quick access make it extremely effective at helping individuals to overcome the disease of addiction.

3. Medical Detox at Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Berwick

Depending on your situation, your medical team could suggest that you may benefit from having a detox.

A drug or alcohol detox can sound intense and maybe even a little scary, but it is often paramount to your safety and chances of a successful recovery.

At rehab, the dedicated staff will work closely with you to ensure this.

4. What Happens In a Medical Detox?

During a detox, the key thing that is happening is that your body is trying to adapt to function without drugs or alcohol.

This means that, at first, your body may find it hard to adjust and you may experience some side effects, which are known as withdrawal symptoms.

When needed, detox medication can be used to help ease these symptoms and make it a little easier for your body to manage.

If you do need detox medication, the medicine you will be given will be clinically controlled, legal, and safe to use.

The withdrawal symptoms you may experience will vary depending on the substance you are detoxing from.

Here are some examples of what kinds of withdrawal symptoms you may expect when detoxing from specific substances:

Detoxing from Alcohol

If you are struggling with alcohol dependence or alcohol use disorder, there is a chance you may need to complete an alcohol detox at the beginning of your rehab treatment.

Some of the symptoms you may experience when withdrawing from alcohol include:

• Shaking or tremors
• Head aches
• Difficulty regulating temperature
• Sweating
• Feeling confused
• Feeling irritable
• Feeling paranoid
• Seizures
• Seeing or hearing things that are not there

In instances of minor withdrawal, it will take between 24 and 48 hours for the symptoms to settle.

In more moderate or severe instances, it can take between 24 hours to 6 days.

In some cases, withdrawal symptoms can be experienced for a month.

In some cases, outpatient alcohol detox may be available, however, this option will need to be discussed with both your clinical and admissions teams.

Detoxing from Heroin

If you are struggling with heroin or opiate use disorder, there is a chance you may need to complete a heroin detox at the beginning of your rehab treatment.

Some of the symptoms you may experience when withdrawing from heroin include:

• Goosebumps (going ‘cold turkey’)
• Difficulty controlling temperature
• Sweating
• Sickness and nausea
• Diarrhoea
• Dilated pupils
• Pain in the muscles
• Increased heart rate
• Increased blood pressure
• Difficulty concentrating or paying attention

During an opiate withdrawal, an individual will likely need medication in order to manage symptoms.

Medications such as methadone or buprenorphine can be used to help ease some of these side effects.

In some cases, an outpatient opiate drug detox may be available, however, this option will need to be discussed with both your clinical and admissions team.

Detoxing from Amphetamines

If you are struggling with your use of amphetamines, there is a chance you may need to complete a detox at the beginning of your rehab treatment.

Some of the symptoms you may experience when withdrawing from amphetamines include:

• Feeling very tired
• Feeling hungrier than usual
• Feeling confused
• Impaired motor skills – moving slower than usual
• Pain or aches in the muscles
• Vivid, upsetting dreams
• Low mood

Withdrawal symptoms usually start to occur around 24 hours after the last use of amphetamines.

The withdrawal process happens in stages and takes around 3 weeks in total.

In some cases, a home detox from amphetamines may be available, however, this option will need to be discussed with both your clinical and admissions team.

The Benefits of Residential Rehab

Residential rehab is a kind of intensive treatment for addiction.

It involves you temporarily staying in a treatment centre whilst accessing a range of addiction treatments on a scheduled basis.

This means that you will have access to 24-hour care from both support workers and medical professionals at the rehab facility.

We believe this kind of support will give you a strong chance towards rehab recovery, as it can allow you to focus solely on gaining back control of your life without any distractions.

It can also help tackle some of the difficult feelings that can arise in treatment, such as feelings of loneliness or isolation.

By choosing an inpatient recovery programme, you will spend time with people who are also receiving treatment and will be able to benefit from this shared experience and solidarity, both in formal group therapy settings and also during informal recreational periods.

The Benefits of Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient treatment programs differ from inpatient treatment, as they do not require you to alter your usual living conditions.

You may need to travel to an outpatient clinic to receive support, but after your appointment has finished, you will be able to return to your usual routine.

This can benefit many people, as it means that you will not need to worry about temporarily moving away from home, leaving pets or children, and may be able to continue to meet your work, educational or social activities like usual.

For some people, adding treatment to their daily lives like this, instead of totally changing their usual routine can help ease some anxiety about going to drug rehab.

It can also be a positive way of managing nerves about what happens when you leave a comprehensive rehab programme, as the adjustment period will not feel quite as intense.

There are also several mutual support groups that can offer you support, including Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous and SMART Recovery.

How Long is Rehab?

Typically, inpatient treatment is based on 30-day recovery programs.

The average stay in a live-in facility is around 28 days or 4 weeks.

If your treatment begins with a detox phase, then the time it takes to withdraw safely will need to be factored into your treatment schedule.

Typically, treatments for your psychological health will not be started until after the detox phase, meaning that you may have treatment in two different stages.

Some people find that the typical 28 days of treatment suits them well.

Others feel that 28 days is too long and that their treatment should be shorter.

Others may feel that an extended continuum of care can help them feel more confident about achieving long-term recovery.

Once we have a clearer picture of your clinical needs, you can speak with the admissions team to get a sense of how long your treatment may be.

Paying for Rehab

A drug and alcohol rehab in Berwick will offer a wide range of treatment options at varying price points to ensure that their service is as financially accessible as possible.

The cost of your treatment will vary depending on the kind of support you receive.

Typically, inpatient rehab will cost more than outpatient rehab, as it involves more sustained, round-the-clock care as well as your living arrangements for the duration of your stay.

You can contact us to tell us about your situation, and after assessing your needs, we will be able to provide you with a quote.

We can then discuss finance options to see which method of funding will be most appropriate to you and your current situation.

You can also get free mental health support from organisations like Mind UK, Young Minds, Rethink Mental Illness, Samaritans and Papyrus.
