Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Marbella

According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 1 million people have died from drug overdoses since 1999.

Opioids have been the driving force of overdoses in the modern world.[1]

This is due to the added synthetic opioid Fentanyl that is becoming more common in drug construction. Fentanyl is often undetectable and often cut with other drugs to increase potency. This potency can often be fatal.

What is Addiction?

Addiction is hard to define as it takes many forms. There is a wide variation of who can become addicted and what too. Many believe that only those who have had traumatic lives are addicted to hard substances.

Still, studies have shown that addiction can affect everyone, no matter age, race, gender or religious beliefs. Addiction is commonly accepted as a chronic and progressive disease affecting your brain chemistry.

This can mean you continually take the substance despite negative impacts on your physical and mental health. Addiction can ‘rewire’ your brain and push you to make decisions you wouldn’t usually take. [2]

What is Rehab?

Rehabilitation in Marbella, or rehab for short, is a place you can attend to begin recovering from your addiction. This may include traditional forms of therapy like group sessions and individual treatment or more holistic therapies like art and music therapy.

The overarching aim of rehab in Marbella is detoxing and learning healthy coping mechanisms to replace your addiction.

It is believed most addictions are routed in trauma; therefore, you will uncover the root of your addiction and begin processing your trauma to help you live a healthy life.

Rehab: Detox, Outpatient or Inpatient?

Rehab can take place in many forms, with varying amounts of time spent in each. This is specific to your needs, with your circumstances taken into account.

However, they can usually be separated into three categories:

1. Detox

A detox is a place you can attend, usually for up to a week, where you can have a medically assisted detox. This is where medical professionals can facilitate you as you withdraw from your substance of choice.

This is particularly favourable for those coming off physically dependent substances like opiates, Benzodiazepines and alcohol. These substances can create severely dangerous and potentially life-threatening withdrawal symptoms.

Many attend a detox centre in Marbella before moving to another rehab facility to increase their chances of withstanding a relapse. 

2. Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient rehab or residential rehab is where you separate yourself from your everyday life and live at a rehab facility for a short period. This is particularly helpful for those struggling with a long-term dependency that has stretched over the years.

You can focus entirely on your recovery by removing yourself from the temptations you may face daily. This may be difficult for those with families or jobs they cannot leave, as you must put your life on hold altogether.

Inpatient rehabs in Marbella tend to be very structured facilities which may require more work to accommodate. On average, you can expect to stay in a rehab facility for around 28 days; however, this can be made longer depending on each patient’s needs.

3. Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient rehab runs in a similar way to inpatient. However, you live at home while undergoing treatment. Consequently, you can continue to care for your family and attend your job while undergoing treatment.

Your time spent with an outpatient facility in Marbella can vary, with many choosing to attend outpatient rehab for months in early recovery. This can benefit some but requires autonomy and responsibility surrounding your recovery.

You will be expected to attend and participate in classes, which can be difficult for some. If you experience intense urges to use, you may not benefit from an outpatient facility.

Those with ongoing medical issues may struggle with outpatient care as they cannot administer medications for complicated, multifaceted addictions.

Treatments on Offer in Rehab

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy 
• Dialectical Behavioural Therapy 
• Brief Interventions 
• Motivational Interviewing 
• Holistic therapies
• Traditional therapies 
• Family Therapy 
• Co-dependency treatment 
• Twelve-Step Facilitation Therapy 

You may be offered an array of different therapy while in rehab in Marbella. This is because you will have to re-learn how to live a healthy life without using substances.

Your treatment plan will be based on your individual needs and tailored to help you learn more about your addiction. You may be offered a combination of both holistic and traditional therapies, aiming to begin the healing process of both your body and mind.

Can I get Rehab on the NHS?

It is essential to understand there is no such thing as a rehab fully funded by the NHS. Instead, only private rehab facilities exist, many of which have spaces on hold for NHS-funded patients.

Nevertheless, lists for such places can be extremely long due to a lack of funding and many applicants. Therefore you may consider funding rehab yourself.

This may seem impossible at the outset, as they have the reputation of being very expensive; however, by funding your rehab application, there are many benefits.

You can choose which facility you would like to attend, including those overseas in Marbella. You can also have a marginal choice in the types of therapy you are exposed to, and you can detox, receive treatment and not have to adhere to any admission criteria.

Many private rehab facilities also offer same-day admissions.

The Cost of Rehab

Rehab has a reputation for being excessively expensive, resulting in many feeling unable to attend due to a lack of funding. This is heavily due to rehab, usually shown in the media, used by celebrities.

These rehab facilities are often luxurious, high-end facilities that offer private chefs, extra security, and intense therapy aimed at helping those who are admitted.

However, many rehabs are reasonably priced, with the average price in the UK being around £15,000 for a 28-day stay. This includes detox, food, bed, medications, therapy and security.

If you choose to go overseas, like Marbella, you may pay more as a UK citizen. This is entirely your choice. You or your loved one may benefit from removing yourself from another country to begin your recovery journey.

If the rehab cost is still out of your grasp, visit your GP for more information. They will provide the information you need to begin your recovery and point you to drug and alcohol services in your area.

Some life insurances offer help with the cost of rehab to long-standing members, so you must research all of your options and express your desire to seek treatment. Support is always available to those who need it.

Alcohol Detox & Rehab in Marbella

Alcohol remains one of the most common substances for which many choose to go to rehab. Studies suggest that around 107 million people have a problem with alcohol. This is approximately 1.4 per cent of the population. [3]

Alcohol abuse correlates with over 200 health conditions and leads to thousands of deaths yearly. It is estimated that around 168,000 people died directly from alcohol abuse in 2019. [3]

Alcohol is a physically addictive substance, meaning your body becomes physically dependent on its importance after chronic abuse. This severe dependency can lead to potentially life-threatening withdrawal symptoms.

You may be offered medications to combat these withdrawal symptoms, like Librium, a Benzodiazepine that helps regulate your central nervous system and treat symptoms like anxiety.

Upon completing detox, you will engage with your treatment plan, which may feature various therapies to help you change your thought patterns and behaviours and learn healthy coping mechanisms.

Heroin Detox & Rehab in Marbella

Heroin is notoriously dangerous due to its highly addictive nature. Tolerance for Heroin and other opiate-based medications increases quickly, significantly increasing your chances of overdosing. Heroin, like alcohol, is a physically addictive substance, meaning you will experience devastating withdrawal symptoms.

It would be best to visit a detox facility or rehab for your detox, where medical professionals can monitor your symptoms and offer medications like Benzodiazepines and Naltrexone to curb your cravings and regulate your nervous system.

Treatment for heroin addiction in rehab may include a mixture of traditional and holistic therapies to treat your mind and body. Treating these, you will learn healthier coping mechanisms and understand the root of your addiction.

Cocaine Rehab in Marbella

Cocaine is a psychologically addictive substance, meaning you may not experience severe withdrawal symptoms; however, you must change your thoughts and unhealthy behaviours to maintain sobriety.

Cocaine and its derivative, crack cocaine, can be treated in a rehab facility through various therapies. You will need to understand your motivation to use and tackle your own behavioural processes to stay clean.

Qualified therapists in rehab will help you understand your addiction and help you rebuild new healthy coping mechanisms. Healthy relationships with yourself and others will encourage you to build a life you will not want to use.

Cannabis Rehab in Marbella

Cannabis remains one of the main reasons young people enter rehab. Despite the misunderstanding that cannabis isn’t addictive, many feel their problem with the substance has made their life unmanageable.

This may include being unable to sleep, attend social activities, relax, feel joy or even leave the house without being high. If a substance is beginning to have consistent negative impacts on your life and you feel like you cannot stop, you can attend a rehab to help.

Many feel they cannot go to rehab for cannabis due to social constructs or fear of shame and judgement from facilities. Do not let fear of judgement stop you from seeking help.

In rehab for cannabis, much like cocaine, you will learn how to change your thought patterns and tackle the behaviours that motivate you to use. You will instead learn how to interact with others, talk about your emotions and develop healthy coping mechanisms to combat your addiction.

Self-Help Support Groups & Aftercare

Most rehab facilities in Marbella offer an aftercare program where you will continue to learn and grow in your early days of sobriety. Upon leaving rehab, you or your loved one may not feel ‘normal’ as they must put the skills they have learnt into action and refrain from using substances.

Aftercare may include face-to-face meetings, plans of action or access to self-help support groups.

Some may return to active addiction, a ‘relapse’ and a typical affair in recovery. Despite many believing so, relapse does not mean failure. Your loved one may need time to adjust, support, and care while navigating their new life.

Groups like Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and SMART groups have helped millions worldwide gain and maintain sobriety through fellowship and knowledge.

AA and NA use their famous twelve-step method in correlation with spirituality to give members tools to help further them understand and tackle everyday life without using substances.

SMART groups are another great option, as they use short-term and long-term goals to have direction in life and give purpose to those struggling with addiction.
