Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Haringey

Generally, an addiction is defined as a dependence on a substance, developed as a result of long-term and regular usage.

If an individual continuously seeks a specific substance or substances then this can begin to change how the brain functions, altering neural pathways associated with the production and regulation of specific hormones and/or chemicals.

In turn, this can make it very difficult for the individual to stop usage; their brain is now ‘programmed’ to function with these substances throughout their day-to-day lives.

With alcohol addiction, vital hormones such as serotonin are affected. This means that without alcohol, these individuals may have strong withdrawal symptoms relating to their levels of anxiety as well as their mood regulation.

In addition, individuals with alcohol addiction are more likely to engage in other drug use (1), making it one of the most dangerous widespread drugs available on the modern market.

What is rehabilitation in Haringey like?

Addiction is not considered a ‘choice’ or ‘moral failing’ on behalf of the addiction sufferer – so the focus of rehab is always on returning agency to the patient.

When an individual is diagnosed with alcohol or drug addiction, then they may begin to seek drug and alcohol rehab in Haringey.

Rehab, or rehabilitation, refers to the process of recovering from an addiction, focussing on the origins, effects, and long-term recovery of the individual.

Through Rehab Recovery, all suggestions made by our team will focus on the abstinence approach to rehab.

This means that individuals are encouraged to stop usage completely, maintaining this in the long term to reduce the negative effects and control their triggers and cravings.

Experts have agreed that abstinence is far more effective than harm reduction or moderation management.

This is due to its focus on long-term recovery, not just the short-term rectification of negative effects that may occur regularly as a result of the individual’s alcohol or drug addiction.

In general, these rehabilitation methods will follow the steps of detoxification, rehabilitation, and aftercare. When each of these stages is progressed fully and effectively, individuals have a far higher chance of success in terms of a long-term and long-lasting recovery.

Holding an intervention in Haringey

Professionally supported drug and alcohol rehab is one of the best ways to recover from addiction, but this is not always immediately clear.

Before an individual makes a decision about their choice of drug and alcohol rehab in Haringey, it may be useful to employ approaches such as interventions to gain a better understanding of their individual case and requirements for rehab.

During an intervention, an individual struggling with addiction will speak to those around them who may be affected by their behaviour, focussing on their experiences, triggers, and cravings they have on a day-to-day basis.

Usually, a counsellor or interventionist is present during these conversations to mediate the discussions as well as make professional and suitable suggestions for the future of the individual’s treatment where possible.

Although more traditional methods of intervention are often reported as being very confrontational towards the individual, more modern techniques have been developed to counteract this.

For example, the CRAFT (Community Reinforcement And Family Training) approach is far more invitational, encouraging individuals and those around them to share their experiences of addiction and make valuable and helpful suggestions in terms of the individual’s future rehabilitation treatments.

When used and implemented correctly, the CRAFT approach to interventions has a success rate of around 75% in terms of encouraging the individual to seek further care (2).

How much does residential rehab in Haringey cost?

No two experiences of drug and alcohol rehab in Haringey will be the same and this is often reflected in the overall cost.

Before choosing treatments, knowing which types of addiction treatment programmes and therapies will be effective is very challenging.

For this reason, it is very difficult to provide an estimate of the overall cost.

Factors such as the history of addiction, the severity of symptoms, and the type of accommodation whilst in residential rehab will all affect the overall cost.

A summary of the types of accommodation is provided below:

• Single occupancy room – recommended 28-day stay = ~£10,000
• Single-occupancy room – 10-day detox session = ~£4,500
• Multi-occupancy room – recommended 28-day stay = ~£6,000
• Multi-occupancy room – 10-day detox session = ~£3,000

Mainly, these differences are due to the amount of upkeep and supervision that these rooms require with the cost of the multi-occupancy rooms being split between the individuals residing within.

There are many other factors that can influence the overall cost and these should be discussed fully with the addiction rehab service provider before any final decisions are made.

Is drug and alcohol rehab in Haringey available through the NHS?

The National Health Service (NHS) is a publicly funded programme, using funding from members of the public as well as some from the government to provide health services across the UK free of charge.

For this reason, some more cost-inducing rehab treatments may not be available through the NHS.

For example, accessing therapies through the NHS is often the first treatment that individuals are offered as a form of rehabilitation.

This is a positive as therapy and addiction counselling is often an essential part of rehabilitation, but it is not always the most suitable.

Those individuals who require further care, such as that received in residential rehab centres, may struggle to access this type of care through the NHS.

This is due to the increased cost associated with residential care – something which the NHS is not equipped to provide support for.

In these cases, individuals may be encouraged to seek external funding from a local council with Haringey or by setting up a personal crowdfunding project for their treatment.

How long does the process of rehabilitation in Haringey last?

As mentioned in the paragraph concerning overall cost, it is difficult to predict individual factors such as the cost and the overall duration of rehabilitation.

Again, factors such as history with addiction, the severity of symptoms, and engagement with treatments will all affect the total time spent rehabilitating, but these are all difficult to gauge when first starting treatment.

Because of this, Rehab Recovery has set a recommended amount of time that individuals should spend in a residential centre which is most effective for beginning treatment.

Through drug and alcohol rehab in Haringey, individuals are often recommended a stay of 28 days. This is the amount of time recommended to settle into the residential rehab lifestyle, begin various different alcohol and drug addiction treatment programmes, and complete a full alcohol or drug detox session.

Detoxification is one of the factors that will most influence the overall time spent in rehab due to its tendency to vary massively from individual to individual.

The process of detoxification, depending on the individual’s history of addiction, physical health, and withdrawal symptoms, can take anywhere between 7 to 14 days, though some symptoms persist for up to a year.

This process has one of the biggest impacts on the duration of rehab in Haringey.

NHS treatments vs. private residential rehab in Haringey

NHS treatments, as mentioned in previous paragraphs, can be limited in terms of what treatments and therapies are on offer.

When progressing through this course of treatment, individuals may not always be able to access the same therapist or addiction specialist, making regular and efficient progress more difficult.

However, these services are often local, convenient, and free-0f-charge, making them some of the most in-demand services in terms of rehabilitative care. Because of this, waiting lists are very common and can delay individuals from accessing the care they need when they need it.

On the other hand, private residential treatments, as previously mentioned, can result in a high cost for the individual.

This is broken down in previous paragraphs and can be discussed further by contacting Rehab Recovery directly.

Through residential rehab, individuals are far more likely to get a tailored and flexible addiction treatment programme, making their recovery far more effective and engaging for their individual needs.

This is why private rehab treatments are cited as the most effective form of rehabilitative treatment.

Choosing between inpatient and outpatient treatment

As one of the first choices that can be made when considering drug and alcohol rehab in Haringey, choosing between inpatient and outpatient treatments is also one of the most important choices.

The differences are outlined below:

• Inpatient care – this refers to rehabilitation within a dedicated residential rehab centre. With around-the-clock care from expert staff, individuals will engage in a variety of tailored and custom treatment programmes for their needs. Though widely suggested to most individuals struggling with addiction, this type of care is also recommended most often to those with a long history of addiction and more extreme symptoms.
• Outpatient care – this refers to rehabilitation outside of a residential centre, taking part in local treatment programmes whilst remaining in the local area of Haringey. Though many of the treatments will be the same as those experienced in a residential centre, these are far more part-time and are not part of a daily routine as they would be within a centre. This type of care is more suitable for those with a shorter history of addiction or for those for whom residential rehab may not be a viable option.

Alcohol detoxification and rehabilitation in Haringey

As one of the most dangerous drugs available in the world, alcohol causes a host of issues that rehabilitation is designed to provide support for.

As well as being a drug that is most likely to lead to the usage of other drugs (1), alcohol remains one of the most widespread drugs available in the modern world.

Alcohol is a physically addictive drug, meaning that the withdrawal symptoms can be life-threatening if not properly managed in a safe and supported environment. For this reason, alcohol detox is of high focus across drug and alcohol rehab in Haringey.

In some cases, it may be suitable to administer a pharmacological intervention such as the use of the prescription drug Librium.

This is designed to reduce the harmful physical effects of alcohol withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety and delirium tremens, allowing the individual to focus more on the future of their recovery.

From this, individuals are always encouraged to seek further rehabilitation such as therapies to focus on the other areas of their recovery such as their mental health and/or other psychological effects.

Cocaine rehab in Haringey

Most often consumed in the form of a white powder, cocaine is known to be a highly addictive substance.

In conjunction with its methods of consumption, the long-term effects of usage can be incredibly detrimental to the individual.

In addition to the psychological effects caused by both short and long-term usage, cocaine and crack cocaine can also have serious health implications for the heart, lungs, and nose tissue.

When consumed over a long period of time, individuals risk a psychological crash, something which can take a long period of time to recover from. This is most often noticed by those closest to the individual.

In terms of rehabilitation, individuals are usually recommended to seek rehabilitative treatments which focus on the psychological impacts of cocaine usage such as the mental health effects. Cocaine detox is not necessary.

Heroin rehab in Haringey

Renowned for being one of the most addictive substances in the world, Rehab Recovery also provides support for heroin addictions through drug and alcohol rehab in Haringey.

With usage, individuals are subject to strong euphoric highs – a feeling that requires more and more of the substance over time to achieve again. Because of this, heroin is known as an incredibly addictive substance.

In addition, methods of consumption such as injecting can also create their own risks, hazards, and dangers when not carried out safely.

Heroin is a physically addictive substance, meaning that quitting ‘cold turkey’ can cause death in those who have used heroin for a long time.

In terms of heroin detox, individuals with a long history of heroin usage may be recommended to undergo tapering.

This is a process in which individuals slowly transition away from heroin to a prescription drugs such as methadone or buprenorphine which act as a temporary substitute.

Again, individuals are strongly encouraged to follow this drug detox procedure up with a course of further rehabilitation programmes that focus on psychological elements of the individual’s long-term recovery.

Cannabis rehab in Haringey

Cannabis is the most popular drug consumed in the UK (1), meaning that support is widespread and available through most drug and alcohol rehab in Haringey.

With a range of both positive and negative effects upon consumption, cannabis is also one of the most unregulated drugs available in the UK, making it one of the riskiest as well.

Affecting the central nervous system, reducing usage is one of the most important factors when it comes to cannabis rehabilitation.

There is no official ‘cannabis detox’ procedure (as cannabis is not physically addictive), but stopping usage is nonetheless vital to the individual’s chances of success during rehab.

During cannabis rehab, it is recommended that individuals choose addiction treatment programmes or service providers that focus on the psychological elements of recovery as this is the area in which most individuals will struggle when recovering from cannabis addiction.

Types of therapies on offer in Haringey

As mentioned previously, not every individual’s experience of rehab will be the same, mainly due to the different combinations of rehabilitative treatments that these individuals will undergo.

However, some treatments are recommended to a large majority of people due to their effectiveness in the treatment of addiction.

The most common of these are listed below:

• Family drug support
• Group therapy
• Individual therapy
• Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
• Motivational interviewing (MI)
• Twelve-step facilitation therapy (TSF)
• Dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT)
• Co-dependency treatment
• Brief interventions
• Motivational enhancement therapy
• Holistic therapy (art therapy, music therapy, mindfulness, meditation, yoga, acupuncture, nutritional counselling)

Though the treatments listed above are the most common, not every individual will experience them, but they are likely to come across at some point in the individual’s rehabilitation journey.

Dual diagnosis – what is it and how it is used during rehab?

Dual diagnosis is the process in which an individual is diagnosed with multiple disorders simultaneously.

When it comes to addiction, this is highly common due to the theory that addiction is a result of underlying disorders.

Common co-occurring disorders include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, though these are simply the most common and the list is not extensive.

Through Rehab Recovery, all suggestions for rehab are made through service providers that follow the dual diagnosis approach – focussing on both the addiction and co-occurring disorder through specific treatments at the same time.

This is the most effective approach and it is encouraged that individuals seeking help through external sources enquire about the adherence to the dual diagnosis approach when seeking rehabilitative treatment through drug and alcohol rehab in Haringey.

How rehabilitation in Haringey helps with relapse prevention

As part of drug and alcohol rehab in Haringey and through most rehab support providers, individuals will complete the creation of a relapse prevention plan.

This is designed to provide individuals with a plan in the event that a relapse may be possible after their time in rehabilitation.

Not every individual is guaranteed to relapse after leaving rehab, but simply having a plan can be enough to reduce the negative effects that may arise in some situations.

As part of their plan, individuals are encouraged to include the following pieces of information:

• Triggers
• Cravings
• Contact information – addiction support supervisor/addiction support network members

Aftercare services and support after rehab

Even after leaving rehab, individuals will never be left completely alone to deal with their long-term recovery.

Through residential rehab centres, for example, individuals are often offered a complimentary one-year aftercare system.

This includes contact with an addiction recovery supervisor and the opportunity to return to the centre if necessary.

Other examples of aftercare, through a residential rehab centre or not, include the enrolment into addiction support networks such as SMART Recovery,  Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, or the continuation of therapies on a less regular basis.
