Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Sheffield

Some people can stay in denial about their addiction for years before seeking rehab help.

This is unfortunate, because the longer they stay in active addiction the greater the potential for harm to themselves as well as others, and the more intense the rehab treatment will be needed.

If you are concerned about the addiction of someone you know and think they may need the support of a rehab centre, the best course of action may be to arrange an intervention.

Traditionally, an intervention involves a person’s loved ones and/or family gathering in a room with the person to communicate their feelings and encourage the person to get help at rehab.

This is ideally done with the help of a trained intervention counsellor, who can mediate the session and make sure it is measured and productive, providing advice about local rehab treatment options when it is necessary.

It is very normal for the person to get defensive and for the conversations to get heated, which is why is good to have an independent mediator.

An alternative to this kind of intervention is the CRAFT (Community Reinforcement And Family Training) Method, [3] which uses positive reinforcement to encourage the person to change their behaviour for the better and seek rehab treatment of their own volition.

We can provide advice on how to stage an intervention using either of these methods, as well as how to arrange the services of an independent intervention counsellor familiar with the rehab services available in Sheffield.

What If I Suffer from Multiple Conditions Alongside Addiction at Rehab in Sheffield?

Co-occurring mental illnesses are very common in those who are living with addiction and are widely encountered in rehab clinics.

Some of the most common disorders at rehab include:

• Anxiety disorder
• Depression
• Bipolar disorder
• Schizophrenia
• Eating disorders
• Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Bipolar disorder.

According to NESARC data, 28.6% of people with a current alcohol use disorder diagnosis had at least one personality disorder like bipolar disorder.

Before diagnosis, these problems can easily exacerbate a drug or alcohol addiction and may have even been the main factor in the addiction to begin with.

At drug and alcohol rehab in Sheffield, you will be under the care of a highly-qualified and experienced mental health team.

This means that any mental health problems that you are experiencing can be identified, diagnosed and treated at rehab.

Rehabs in Sheffield can also help you manage coexisting mental health issues and illnesses alongside directly treating addiction.

A team of dedicated trained professionals and mental health counsellors can treat you with specialised psychiatry in mind, to offer thorough psychiatric rehabilitation alongside physical rehab.

Psychiatric treatment from trained rehab professionals can assist you in treating any underlying mental health conditions and in getting rid of the reasons for your addiction whilst at rehab.

What is Inpatient Addiction Treatment and Rehab in Sheffield?

Image above: A living room at an alcohol rehab in Sheffield

It is widely accepted that residential rehab is the most effective treatment for drug and alcohol addiction, but why is that?

Well, there are a number of different reasons.

For one thing, most people find the safe, tranquil environment of rehab provides a welcome respite for those whose lives have become chaotic and unmanageable due to addiction.

The main reason that rehab is so effective is that it is the only place where every aspect of addiction treatment can be combined into one treatment plan, within the same facility.

During a patient’s time at rehab, they will receive high-quality professional help from detox clinicians, psychologists and behavioural specialists, all of whom will help them with different aspects of their recovery.

Trying to arrange all of these different types of care and treatment outside of the rehab environment would be a logistical impossibility, not to mention much more expensive.

We know that private rehab is a considerable cost, but think about how much all of these treatments would cost separately.

On top of that, think about the costs – both financially and personally – of staying in active addiction for the rest of your life.

When you take all of this into account, a course of treatment at rehab may be the best investment that you ever make.

Addiction is not considered a ‘choice’ or ‘moral failing’ on behalf of the addiction sufferer – rehab is about treating the disease of addiction.

What is Outpatient Addiction Treatment and Rehab in Sheffield?

Outpatient treatment in Sheffield is any form of rehab care that does not require the patient to stay overnight; there is no 24-hour supervision.

This means the patient attends a rehab centre in the daytime, but they do not leave their usual place of residence to pursue recovery.

Outpatient addiction treatment is available across a range of settings, from rehab facilities to specialist outpatient centres.

They tend to offer various types of rehab therapy (group, family and individual) as well as education on mental health and substance use.

This treatment type can be just as helpful as inpatient rehab in some cases. One study found that there were comparable outcomes between the two. [4]

Yet, we must keep in mind that most people with severe addiction issues will go to inpatient rehab for round-the-clock care. This means outpatient treatment is not as effective as residential rehab for everyone.

How Long Does Alcohol & Drug Rehab in Sheffield Last?

Drug and alcohol rehab usually lasts around 28 days, although in some extreme cases, patients may stay in rehab for up to 90 days.

If the substance from which are withdrawing requires a detox, this will take up the first 7 to 10 days of your time at rehab.

Therapy, treatment and addiction education will make up the remaining weeks at the rehab clinic.

In some cases, a patient may have planned for a 28-day detox, but their detox takes longer than expected, perhaps due to heavy substance abuse prior to entering the clinic.

If this is the case, it could have a knock-on effect on the length of your overall rehab treatment time.

Generally speaking, rehab should not take more than one month from admission to discharge.

Standalone detox usually takes between a week and 10 days, but this is not considered rehab, as it doesn’t involve any other kind of therapy or treatment.

To get a clearer idea of just how long your time at a rehab clinic in Sheffield may last, call us on 0800 088 66 86

How Much Does Alcohol & Drug Rehab in Sheffield Cost?

The exact cost of rehab will vary depending on the rehab clinic, as well as the specific treatment options that you choose.

For example, if you were to go with a full 28-day course of residential rehab, you should expect to pay around £8,000-£12,000 for a single-person room, and around £6,000 for a multiple-occupancy room (a place in a dorm).

If you were to choose to do a standalone 10-day detox at a rehab clinic, you could expect to pay between £3,000-£6,000 for a single room, or £2,000-£4,000 for a multiple-occupancy room.

You could reduce this cost even further to around £1,500 by doing a home detox instead of at rehab.

However, only certain eligibility criteria will apply.

Will Your Insurance Cover Rehab in Sheffield?

Private medical insurance can be used to pay some of the costs of rehab in Sheffield.

Before budgeting for rehab, make sure you check your insurance policy, as it may not be compatible with a rehab stay.

Some insurance companies offer to pay a portion of the rehab treatment costs, which is known as coinsurance.

Certain aspects of rehab treatment may not be funded, such as the use of leisure facilities. Other companies offer to pay for one treatment only (e.g., therapy).

Is Drug & Alcohol Rehab Accessible Through the NHS in Sheffield?

Here at Rehab Recovery, we only refer people to private rehab clinics in Sheffield.

This means that, whichever rehab clinic you end up getting treated at, there will be a cost involved in your care.

It will be a significant financial investment and we understand that you may not be able to afford private rehab treatment right now.

If this is the case, there is always the option of pursuing rehab treatment that is free through public services such as the NHS.

Sheffield City Council [5] offer free government advice for substance abuse prevention, providing both educational resources and rehab signposting.

You can find free community mental health services [6] that can offer help with everything from alcohol abuse to drug detoxification.

Below is a list of other organisations that offer free support for addiction and rehab in and around Sheffield:

1. Addaction Sheffield

Address: 42 Sidney St, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield S1 4RH

Telephone: 01142 536 830

Website: http://www.addaction.org.uk/services/addaction-sheffield-dip-service

2. C G L Change Grow Live

Address: 44 Sidney St, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield S1 4RH

Telephone: 01143 050 500

3. Centenary House CAMHS

Address: Heritage Park, 55 Albert Terrace Rd, Sheffield S6 3BR

Telephone: 01143 053 218

You can also reach out to a number of helplines, including Mind UK, YoungMinds, Rethink Mental Illness, Samaritans,  We Are With You, Turning Point and Papyrus.

A local NHS Foundation Trust and the NHS website [7] both provide free, reliable information and rehab guidance.

When it comes to funding, these are the two basic types of rehab – private and public, and each comes with both advantages and disadvantages.

The main advantage of pursuing public-funded addiction treatment in Sheffield is that you will likely not need to pay for your rehab treatment, or that any costs involved will be minimal.

The main disadvantage is that you will probably have to stay on a waiting list for an indeterminate period of time before actually starting rehab treatment, sometimes for months.

Nearly two-thirds (64%) of people have a wait of more than four weeks for NHS therapy. [8]

The main drawback of going for private rehab is, obviously, that there will be a significant cost involved.

However, the advantages to private rehab treatment are that you will likely receive a high standard of accommodation and care and, crucially, you can start your treatment straight away once you have been referred to the appropriate rehab clinic.

Starting rehab treatment with a quick turnaround can be a big help to anyone who is in a pattern of severe substance abuse.

This is one of the reasons that we recommend going for private rehab if you have the funds to do so.

During your phone consultation, we can discuss ways in which you might be able to make rehab more affordable.

We can also provide practical advice on how to take care of your regular commitments and responsibilities while you are away at rehab.

Do I Need a Detox Programme or Alcohol Withdrawal Treatment in Sheffield?

Coming off any substance at rehab will involve going through a period of withdrawal.

However, not all addictions will require a detox programme at rehab.

In the context of addiction treatment, the term detox is used to describe a medical process that manages a person’s withdrawal from a problematic substance.

Specifically, it is used in the case of heroin, alcohol, benzodiazepines and other physically addictive substances.

This is because all of these substances can present severe withdrawal symptoms that need to be properly managed by professionals at rehab.

Specific medications are used to alleviate the physical symptoms and anxiety associated with withdrawal, as well as reduce the risk of serious physical side effects that can be experienced at rehab, such as seizures.

Other illicit substances – such as cannabis, cocaine, crack cocaine and ketamine – do not require detox or the use of withdrawal medications at rehab, as they are not physically addictive.

Nevertheless, it is preferable that you are monitored by professionals as you withdraw, due to the high risk of unpleasant and uncomfortable psychological withdrawal symptoms, which personal rehab support may be key to treating.

To reiterate, addiction to any substance can be treated at rehab.

However, there are certain substances for which a medically-supervised detox is essential.

This includes prescription opioids, illicit opiates, benzodiazepines and alcohol.

You should never try to withdraw from any of these substances on your own or go ‘cold turkey’, as this can be dangerous and even deadly.

If you’re ready to beat your addiction with the help of a rehab in Sheffield, call us on 0800 088 66 86

Alcohol Rehab in Sheffield

Alcohol is unfortunately still a major part of British nightlife and pop culture in general.

This is despite the fact that alcohol is directly responsible for thousands of deaths in the country every year, as well as having an indirect effect on the lives of millions of others.

As well as being the most widely available drug, it is also one of the most treated at rehab and one of the deadliest.

If your drinking has become a problem, the best thing that you can do for yourself is to seek treatment at an alcohol rehab in Sheffield.

Within the same rehab facility, you will be able to go through a medically assisted detox, get help through therapy, and move into a positive future after rehab with the help of a comprehensive relapse prevention plan.

There are hundreds of alcohol rehab clinics around the UK, and a great deal here in South Yorkshire.

If you would like us to provide a rehab referral or just want some advice, please reach out to us and speak with a member of the Rehab Recovery team.

Our team are highly trained, sympathetic and discreet – whatever you share with us will be treated with strict confidence.

Rehab for Cocaine in Sheffield

Cocaine has become something of an open secret amongst the bars and clubs of the UK, making it one of the most common addictions treated at UK rehab services.

In certain social circles cocaine use is rampant and is not much more stigmatised than drinking a pint of beer.

Unfortunately, cocaine dependence can soon become problematic for many people, as it is a potent, expensive drug which is also highly addictive and requires extensive cocaine rehab support to treat.

Cocaine rehab does not require a medical detox, as would be necessary with heroin or alcohol.

Rather, rehab staff will monitor your psychological well-being as you withdraw, before starting you on a comprehensive treatment plan to address the underlying issues that have driven you to cocaine abuse in the first place.

Through a combination of various therapies and rehab treatments, you can achieve long-term recovery from cocaine addiction and manage your cravings effectively in the future.

Staying off cocaine does not require any kind of substitutive medication, though medication could be used at rehab to treat co-occurring conditions like depression.

You just need to commit to your rehab treatment programme and stay proactive in your own recovery.

Rehab for Heroin in Sheffield

The effects of heroin abuse can be seen first-hand on the streets of every major city in the UK.

The highly potent opiate has the ability to ruin the lives of those who use it, as well as everyone around that person, often needing professional rehab treatment to address.

Aside from the severe health risks involved, heroin use also comes with unbearable withdrawal symptoms.

Heroin abuse is not easy to treat, but the best place to do so is at a residential rehab.

A proper drug & alcohol rehab in Sheffield will have the facilities for a medically supervised heroin detox, where heroin withdrawal symptoms can be medicated and managed effectively.

This usually involves the use of Subutex during detox, before moving on to methadone as a transition from heroin use whilst at rehab.

Once you have got through detox, you will be able to engage in a programme of comprehensive rehab treatment and therapy.

Heroin addiction can seem impossible to escape at times, but with the right treatment at rehab, recovery is always possible.

Rehab for Cannabis in Sheffield

Cannabis is one of the most widely used drugs in the UK, along with alcohol and cocaine, despite it being illegal.

Unfortunately, there are still some people who insist on perpetuating the myth that cannabis use is harmless and that it is not possible to get addicted to it.

Neither of these things are true. Long-term cannabis use can have a massively detrimental effect on a person’s health and wellbeing and can need rehab treatment to properly overcome.

A recent study [9] identified the adverse side effects of regular use of cannabis during adolescence and into adulthood can include:

• Dependence
• An increased risk of motor vehicle crashes
• Impaired respiratory function
• Cardiovascular disease
• Mental health issues

It is not possible to die of a cannabis overdose – however, this certainly does not mean that there is no harm in smoking cannabis and that cannabis rehab is not extremely useful.

Cannabis use disorder increases your risk of debilitating mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety disorders, as well as causing users to become socially withdrawn, paranoid and generally lacking in motivation.

Cannabis addiction is best treated at rehab, where you can focus on the underlying issues that may be causing you to want to use cannabis so often.

You will not have to go through detox – instead, you can spend the bulk of your time at rehab focusing on your mental health and wellness, which in turn will diminish your desire to turn to cannabis use as a form of escapism.

While medications like Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), especially Sertraline, can help ease anxiety symptoms, it is helpful to prevent anxiety and other effects that cannabis might be causing you by cutting cannabis out of your life altogether with the help of rehab.

What Types of Therapies are Offered at Alcohol & Drug Rehabs in Sheffield?

There is no such thing as a ‘typical’ rehab therapy plan, as everyone experiences addiction differently, and requires different kinds of help to deal with their own issues.

Addiction is a very complex condition, and so it makes sense that the types of therapy on offer at rehab are wide and varied.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence [10] establishes criteria to ensure that all treatments given by healthcare practitioners satisfy quality standards.

Below are some of the types of treatment that you can expect to receive at drug & alcohol rehab in Sheffield:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Brief interventions
• Motivational Interviewing (MI) & Motivational  Therapy (MET)
• Holistic therapies (e.g., music therapy, art therapy, mindfulness, meditation, Art Therapy, yoga, acupuncture, nutritional counselling, equine therapy)
• Group Therapy & group psychotherapy
• Individual Therapy
• Family Therapy
• Co-Dependency Treatment
• Twelve-Step Facilitation Therapy (TSF)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)

What Happens After Rehab In Sheffield?

Although getting through rehab is a great achievement for anyone, it is always potentially challenging going back out into the world and re-adjusting to a new life in sobriety.

A committed aftercare service will keep you on the right track after you leave rehab treatment.

You’ll receive frequent check-ins and support from rehab staff as you navigate your new life in recovery, to make sure you’re keeping any relapse triggers in check and managing the temptations of everyday life.

You will also be helped to come up with a relapse prevention plan prior to leaving the rehab clinic.

It should not be seen as a sign of weakness if you do relapse as addiction recovery is not a linear path.

Relapsing is common and occurs between 40% to 60% of adults trying to recover from addiction through rehab.

Several organisations and support structures can also be accessed in Sheffield as part of an aftercare programme, helping patients to maintain sobriety after rehab, including:

• Alcoholics Anonymous [11]
• Narcotics Anonymous [12]
• SMART Recovery [13]
• Alateen [14]
• Al-Anon Family Meetings [15]
• Further outpatient treatment at a local rehab clinic or GP
• Sober living houses
