To put your recovery into context, Luton has an elevated level of opiate and crack-cocaine use in comparison with other areas in England, but lower rates of alcohol abuse.

This means that it is necessary that those who have drug and alcohol addiction issues in the Luton area seek help and assistance in the form of drug and alcohol rehab treatment.

There are an estimated 10 million people in the UK who exceed the low-risk drinking guidelines put forward by the Chief Medical Officer, [1] 1.7 million people who are high risk drinkers and 600,000 who are addicted to alcohol.

What Impact Can Drug and Alcohol Addictions Have on Families?

Drug and alcohol addiction has a huge impact on the person affected, but it also often affects their loved ones and family members as well.

Each family member of a person struggling with addiction is affected in a unique way, and the family unit as a whole is often affected. [3]

For example, young children of parent/s with SUD are at risk of attachment issues, especially if the parent is significantly preoccupied with their addiction, which can lead to mental health issues and relationship problems later in life, as well as further complicate any drug and alcohol rehab treatment.

Siblings have been found [4] to also be significantly impacted when their brother or sister is struggling with addiction. They found that sisters were more affected than brothers, and that siblings of substance users were often exposed to drugs or alcohol earlier than those without.

The impact of substance abuse on siblings has been understudied, however it is clear that the impact of drug and alcohol abuse in siblings is a key factor [5] in the effect that substance misuse can have on the entire family unit and the breakdown of family relationships.

Parents, siblings and other family members can suffer financial strain, high levels of stress, complex emotions of anger, sadness, distrust and loss as well as hopelessness. [6]

The impact that addiction can have on the family members of a person struggling with addiction, is one of the key reasons that family therapy is a very popular drug and alcohol rehab treatment used at recovery centres in Luton, near Luton and across the UK.

Family therapy allows both the person struggling with addiction and their family members to discuss their experiences, communicate effectively, explore past traumas and find potential causes of drug and alcohol addiction and to also better

Who is Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Luton and near Luton Suitable For?

Drug and alcohol rehab is for anyone who is suffering from addiction and wants to beat it once and for all.

Any type of addiction can be treated at a suitable drug and alcohol rehab in Luton or near Luton, but there certainly are some conditions that are more highly recommended for rehab treatment than others.

In the majority of cases, rehab is recommended for those who are drinking 30+ units of alcohol a day or those who would have a co-occurring mental health disorder.

This also includes those who are struggling with suicidal thoughts. In this sense, by choosing a residential drug rehab and alcohol rehab in Luton, each patient will be supported 24/7 with expert professional and medical care.

Moreover, perhaps some people have previously attempted an at-home drug or alcohol detox but maybe their mental state has exacerbated their addiction.

Visiting a drug and alcohol rehab centre is also encouraged for those who have attempted to become sober but have previously failed once or many times.

In cases like these, it is wise to attend a residential drug and alcohol rehab as they will need more intensive support to progress beyond their drug or alcohol addiction.

If you are also someone who has resorted to violence when under the influence of drugs and alcohol, you will be dissuaded from attempting to recover alone.

Also, those with Delirium tremens or alcoholic seizures can reap the benefits of attending residential drug and alcohol rehab. This also includes those with Wernicke’s encephalopathy.

What Are the Signs That An Alcohol Addiction is Present?

If you are concerned about your own drinking or a loved one, then noticing the signs of alcohol addiction can help you know when to get help and what kind of help is available from a drug and alcohol rehab in Luton or near Luton.

The signs of alcohol addiction can often cross over into the signs of other addictions or physical or mental health issues, so this is also important to bear in mind. However, if you are concerned for a loved one who is displaying these signs, then they are likely to still need help. 

• Drinking often and/or drinking alcohol to excess
• Finding evidence of drinking and/or of the after effects of drinking (e.g. finding bottles and cans, evidence of vomit from drinking too much etc.)
• Engaging in risky behaviours when drinking alcohol
• Continuing to drink alcohol even when alcohol has a negative effect on their life or the lives of others around them
• Getting defensive when asked about their drinking
• High tolerance for alcohol
• Being secretive or evasive, particularly when asked about their alcohol consumption
• Neglecting their responsibilities, being withdrawn and/or neglecting their personal hygiene
• Appearing drunk or to have been drinking alcohol regularly (e.g. having slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, red face, staggering or wobbly when walking, changing their personality/behaviour)

• Drinking alcohol for longer than intended and/or drinking alcohol in higher quantities than intended
• Trying or having tried to cut down on alcohol and been unable to
• Having strong urges or cravings for alcohol
• Spending a lot of time drinking alcohol and/or suffering from hangovers and other side effects of drinking alcohol
• Continuing to drink alcohol despite it having a negative impact on key aspects of your life such as relationships or employment
• Neglecting responsibilities and/or not doing things you enjoy such as activities due to drinking alcohol
• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not drinking alcohol

How Do I Know When I Need Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Luton or near Luton?

If you are concerned for yourself or a loved one and worry that alcohol could be impacting your or their life, then the best course of action is to seek help from a drug and alcohol rehab in Luton or near Luton.

A common challenge for people who are able to function whilst having an addiction (e.g. ‘functioning’ alcoholics) is that they often do not recognise that they have an addiction or need drug rehab and alcohol rehab treatment to manage it. [8]

Even if you do not feel like your drug or alcohol use is ‘bad enough’ for you to need drug and alcohol rehab treatment, frequent drug and/or alcohol use can still lead to physical and mental health issues, financial problems and other negative impacts on the lives of the person and those around them.

Addiction can also develop in severity over time, and even people with mild addictions can benefit greatly from addiction rehab.

In fact, being a functioning substance user can often be more dangerous as there is a tendency to deny or ignore the signs of addiction and continue engaging in harmful practices, often leading to physical health issues and other problems.

Having two or more symptoms of addiction as mentioned above (such as drinking often or to excess and being unable to cut down or stop alcohol consumption) can indicate the presence of a drug or alcohol addiction that needs the help of a drug and alcohol rehab to properly address.

Therefore, whether you feel as though you are coping but are still struggling to cut down or manage your drug or alcohol addiction, we highly advise that you seek addiction treatment at a drug and alcohol rehab in Luton or near Luton as soon as possible.

The Rehab Recovery team can help you no matter how mild or severe your addiction is, and there are inpatient and outpatient drug and alcohol rehab treatment options in Luton and near Luton to suit everyone and provide you with the tools you need.

How Can I Refer Myself to Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Luton or near Luton?

There are different referral types when it comes to drug and alcohol rehab, self-referral, friend and family referral and professional referral.

Most drug and alcohol rehab clinics in Luton will accept self-referrals, where you contact the clinic yourself (or fill out a self-referral form and send it to them) stating that you want to begin rehab treatment.

In order to carry out a self-referral, the first port of call would be to see what drug and alcohol rehab services are available.

This includes drug and alcohol rehab clinics local to you in Luton and near Luton, services available privately and on the NHS, and the types of drug and alcohol rehab treatment which might be most beneficial for you.

Having a chat with a member of the Rehab Recovery team or getting in touch with your GP is a good way to explore your options.

Once you know which drug and alcohol rehab clinic in Luton or near Luton would be best for you, you can find their details and self-referral information online or via your GP/Rehab Recovery. 

The drug and alcohol rehab clinic themselves will then have a discussion with you about your addiction, the suitable rehab treatments available and your current circumstances, to figure out what treatment programme would work best for you.

After this you will either be assessed and admitted for drug and alcohol rehab treatment, with a personalised treatment plan put in place for you, or you will be placed on a waiting list and be admitted when a space becomes available for you.

Pre-Admission Assessment at Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Luton and near Luton

Prior to considering whether you want to attend a drug rehab and alcohol rehab in Luton, it is essential to assess the severity of the patient’s addiction so we at Rehab Recovery can take active steps towards their recovery.

It can be difficult to know exactly when you are suffering from addiction, as the signs and symptoms can be hard to spot in yourself.

Social alcohol drinking can quickly become binge drinking, which can easily turn into alcohol dependency without the sufferer even realising, and this is true of all substances.

In this light, the DSM-5 model [9] can be implemented as a form of assessing the three levels of severity that a drug and alcohol rehab patient may have in relation to their addiction.

This is a manual for assessing and identifying how severe a drug and alcohol addiction is depending on the number of symptoms that a drug and alcohol rehab client is experiencing.

Some of the symptoms that a client may be assessed on are:

• Impaired control
• Social problems
• Risky use
• Physical dependence

If someone has two or three symptoms they will be classified as having a mild substance use disorder.

Moreover, if someone has four or five symptoms we can determine that they have a moderate substance use disorder.

Lastly, if someone has six or more symptoms, they will be assessed as having a severe substance use disorder. A severe substance use disorder is also classified as having an addiction.

This model is extremely useful as it allows us at Rehab Recovery to concoct a treatment plan in accordance with the severity of their addiction.

If someone is diagnosed as having a severe addiction or labelled as a high-risk drug and alcohol rehab client, they may need a more intense drug and alcohol rehab treatment plan.

Furthermore, the AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) [10] is a straightforward and easy way of determining whether someone has an unhealthy relationship with alcohol.

It will determine whether someone has a dangerous or high-risk use, or suffers from any alcohol use disorder. [11]

This model allows us to gather information based on this scoring system:

• 0 to 7 signalling low risk of alcohol use disorder
• 8 to 15 signalling increasing risk of alcohol use disorder
• 16 to 19 signalling a higher risk of alcohol use disorder
• 20 or more signalling possible dependence on alcohol and a likely need for alcohol rehab

If these tests have made you wonder whether or not you would benefit from alcohol addiction treatment in Luton, or from any kind of rehab in Luton, call our team today on 0800 088 66 86

Holding an Intervention for Drug and Alcohol Rehab Treatment in Luton and near Luton

When someone we know has developed an addiction to drugs and alcohol, we may try to leave them to their own devices so that they can get help from a drug and alcohol rehab under their own volition.

Although it is a good idea when someone realises they have an addiction by themselves, unfortunately, many who do have an addiction to drugs and alcohol do not realise the severity of their situation ot their need for proper drug and alcohol rehab treatment.

They may even be blindsided by their own actions and their frailties. Or, in other situations, they could be defensive and dismiss any concerns about their behaviour.

If you are concerned about someone you know who cannot admit that they have an addiction, we understand that you may feel as though you are at a standstill and you may not know which way to turn.

There are many misconceptions about addiction, but at Rehab Recovery we want to reassure you that addiction is not the result or manifestation of a moral failure. Rather, it is a disease of the brain.

You can read more about the disease of addiction here. [12]

At Rehab Recovery we would propose the idea of staging an intervention. This is known as a process whereby those who are worried about someone with an addiction intervene and attempt to help them.

They usually will express their concerns in an attempt to encourage them toward recovery.

Another idea would be to use the services of a professional interventionist which will equip you with methods that will allow you to communicate effectively with this person without coming across as threatening or intimidating.

They will also be able to advise you about drug and alcohol rehab services in Luton and near Luton that may be suitable for your loved one.

When considering staging a drug rehab or alcohol rehab intervention, one could also adopt the Community Reinforcement And Family Training (CRAFT) approach. [13]

CRAFT prioritises communicating with the person in question and changing certain habits so that the addicted person can recover in the long term.

This approach also takes into consideration those who have been affected by a person’s addiction so that they can help in continuing to ward it off after their time at a drug and alcohol rehab in Luton or near Luton has been concluded.

How Do You Treat an Addiction at Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Luton?

Two people holding a sapling at a drug and alcohol rehab in Luton or near Luton

The ASAM criteria [14] is a body of guiding principles that is useful for treating patients with addictions to drugs and alcohol. It has six dimensions.

The first part of this assessment is ‘Acute Intoxication and Withdrawal’. This will assess plans for drug or alcohol withdrawal management and the level of care that will be required for the person who is addicted.

Secondly, this model addresses ‘Bio-Medical Conditions and Complications’.  In summary, this will focus on how a patient has been physically affected by their addiction and how we can help via care or physical health services.

In the third instance, this model will also deal with ‘Emotional, Behavioral or Cognitive Conditions and Complications.’

This entails obtaining treatment for a co-occurring mental health disorder that has been worsened or caused by their addiction.

In a similar vein, the fourth part of this model will garner an idea of the patient’s willingness to submit to the prospect of change. If we assess that the patient is not eager to engage fully in their recovery, we may have to invoke motivational enhancement strategies.

Alternatively, if the patient has completely embraced their journey of change, we will put action into motion for their recovery.

The fifth section of this model concentrates on the prospect of relapsing and the plan we must execute if the patient does not break their substance abuse cycle.

This means contemplating their relapse prevention services and warning the patient of the consequences of falling back into old habits. Lastly, the model focuses on the importance of a solid and structured drug and alcohol rehab recovery environment for the patient.

This includes gauging the need for certain individualised family or partners, housing, financial, vocational, educational, legal, transportation and/or childcare services.

For many patients, addiction is not simply an isolated issue. At Rehab Recovery, we also treat those who are coming in with a dual diagnosis. This simply means that their addiction is a symptom of underlying mental health problems.

• 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

In this context, if you attending a drug and alcohol rehab in Luton or near Luton, we aim to treat those with a dual diagnosis with evidence-based rehab treatments.

Many organisations across the UK offer free mental health support, whether you are also suffering from addiction or not.

Some of these include Mind UK, Young Minds, Rethink Mental Illness, Samaritans and Papyrus.

What is the Difference Between Residential and Outpatient Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Luton?

Outdoor photo of a rural drug and alcohol rehab

Staff at a drug and alcohol rehab will advocate for complete abstinence, which simply means not using alcohol or drugs. Experts have agreed [15] that abstinence is always the safer and more effective route to addiction recovery.

In one aspect, this will be made easier for our patients if they opt for a residential drug rehab and alcohol rehab in Luton as they are kept away from the temptation of using drugs and alcohol.

Accessing a private rehab in Luton may seem like an expensive option. However, private rehab may have benefits over statutory services.

By disengaging completely from drugs and alcohol, not only will the patient will be able to focus wholly on their recovery, but their relationships, self-esteem and financial possibilities will increase dramatically.

Being given the opportunity to practice sobriety is just one of the many benefits of choosing a residential drug rehab and alcohol rehab in the Luton area.

As mentioned, choosing residential drug rehab and alcohol rehab will remove the patient from external temptation but it will also offer them a set structure and gives them time and space to recover.

Residential drug and alcohol rehab programmes also offer specialist care and are also linked to higher levels of recovery success.

So why opt for attending private drug rehab and alcohol rehab as opposed to council-funded drug and alcohol rehab in Luton or near Luton?

Firstly, private rehabilitation offers tailored treatments that are customised to fit your needs.

It also means that you can choose to enrol on a detoxification treatment programme as well as get to the root cause of your issues with your addiction to drugs and alcohol.

For instance, you can begin drug and alcohol rehab straight away.

Council-funded drug & alcohol rehab treatment in Cheshire may mean you may be subject to a ‘waiting list’ before you become ‘eligible’ for treatment.

However, although most private drug rehab and alcohol rehab facilities in Luton allow visits from family members, for some it can feel like an isolating experience as you are removed from your natural environment.

In this way, if you opt for outpatient drug and alcohol rehab treatment in Luton, you will be able to schedule your recovery around your daily habits and your routine.

This means you will not have to completely uproot your life or take time off of work.

In this sense, whether you choose private or outpatient drug and alcohol rehab treatment is subject to your individual preferences, the severity of your addiction and financial implications.

Can I Recover From Addiction Without Professional Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Luton or near Luton?

Doctor taking notes at a drug and alcohol rehab in Luton or near Luton

Attempting to recover from an addiction without professional help is not advisable for a variety of reasons, including the lack of addiction therapies, lack of professional diagnosis for comorbid disorders and the potentially fatal health risks.

The first stage of drug and alcohol rehab is typically detox, where a person will first stop taking the addictive substance/s. This is essential to start the recovery process, but it is not as simple as it sounds.

Due to the nature of addiction, giving up the substance you are addicted to can be incredibly difficult.

Doing it alone and without professional support can be even harder, as there are no healthcare professionals there to stop you accessing drugs or alcohol, provide care or provide medications to help lessen cravings and help with withdrawal symptoms.

Furthermore, some substances can be dangerous to come off of, especially if you are not prepared for the withdrawal symptoms.

Alcohol and heroin (opioids) can both have severe withdrawal symptoms when an addicted person stops taking them, including symptoms which can lead to death such as seizures and heart spasms.

If you are recovering from marijuana use, cocaine dependency or a less severe addiction, then although trying to recover alone may not be dangerous, it is still unlikely to be the most effective form of rehabilitation.

In professional addiction recovery in Luton, you will be working with experts in the addiction field, provided with tools to manage your addiction, have the opportunity to discuss your thoughts and emotions throughout the process and you will be provided with relapse support and aftercare long term.

Addiction therapies such as counselling, family therapy, group therapy and aftercare support groups can provide insight into the causes of your addiction as well as offering support when your addictive thoughts occur and relapse is more likely.

If you attempt rehab alone, then it is much harder to fight relapse and to get back into recovery once a relapse occurs.

Professional addiction specialists can also help you find support for any co-occurring mental health issues which might interact with your addiction.

By undergoing professional rehab treatment, you can make sure you have the best chance at recovering from your addiction.

Don’t take the risk of recovery without support – get the help you need from a first-class drug and alcohol rehab in Luton by calling us on 0800 088 66 86

What is the Cost of Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Luton or near Luton?

Outside photo of a residential drug and alcohol rehab

One of the primary concerns of those who are considering attending a drug and alcohol rehab in Luton is the price of doing so.

There is no uniform nor set price for attending rehab as it is adjusted according to the rehabilitation centre you choose, the duration of your stay and the type of room/accommodation you select.

For those who need a 10-day detox with a single occupancy room, the lowest price that we offer will be £3,000 and the highest will be £6,000. The cost of a multi-occupancy room will fluctuate between £2,000 and £4,000.

If you believe that you will reap more benefits from a 28-day stay, then you will be expected to pay from £8,000 to £12,000 for a single occupancy room, or about £6,000 for a multi-occupancy room.

In other cases, those who seek a high level of independence in their recovery choose to complete an at-home drug and alcohol detox.

If you decide to choose this option the cost is roughly £1,500 for a home drug and alcohol detox.

Will My Insurance Cover Drug Rehab and Alcohol Rehab in Luton?

If you are considering private drug and alcohol rehab in Luton, then you might be wondering whether your treatment will be covered by your insurance.

Insurance companies such as Aviva, BUPA and AXA offer some insurance policies which do cover addiction treatment, however whether you are covered will depend on your own policy.

Check your insurance policy and, if you need to, have a chat with your insurance provider to check whether your drug and alcohol rehab is covered or not.

Policies will also vary in terms of how much treatment is covered and the type of treatment that is covered. Some policies will cover an entire 28-day inpatient stay in rehab, whereas others might only cover outpatient treatment.

Whether you are looking into personally-funded private rehab, free NHS rehab or private rehab which is covered by your insurance, the Rehab Recovery team is happy to discuss your options with you.

How Do I Choose the Right Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Luton or near Luton?

Therapist and patient talking together about alcohol addiction at a drug and alcohol rehab in Luton or near Luton

Just as not everyone’s journey with addiction is the same, no two drug and alcohol rehab centres are exactly the same, and no two patients will experience identical treatment programmes.

hilst a large portion of rehabs advocate for a 12-step approach some others adopt a different therapeutic approach.

There are a few things you should consider before committing yourself to a particular programme of addiction treatment in Luton.

It is recommended that you select a rehab that has a substantial and credible track record. If a rehab has been running for at least 20 years there is more chance that you will receive high-quality drug rehab and alcohol rehab support.

Moreover, you should be determined whether the rehab in Luton you are selecting has a solid success rate as well as a good reputation.

In terms of cost, you will also need to make sure that the drug and alcohol rehab you choose is financially viable for you and will not plunge you into debt.

What is the Detoxing Process at a Private Drug Rehab & Alcohol Rehab in Luton?

Woman holding a coffee cup and looking at the sea after staying at drug and alcohol rehab in Luton or near Luton

If you are addicted to drugs or alcohol you may be questioning whether it is a wise idea to undergo drug or alcohol detox in a private rehab in comparison to detoxing in a free rehab.

If you have been using alcohol or drugs or alcohol for a substantial body of time, you can become physically dependent on these substances.

This will actually require you to detox from these substances in order to recover from them.

This is relevant to those substances that cause physical dependence, such as alcohol, heroin, ketamine and benzodiazepines.

Other addictions do not require detox, such as behavioural addictions (i.e gambling addiction), cocaine dependence and cannabis use disorder.

A medically-assisted detox can be a key step in minimising the extent of drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms and making sure that the detox process is safe and effective.

For alcohol detox, the substance Librium, also known as Chlordiazepoxide, is extremely effective at reducing the effects of alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

Librium is used to treat anxiety as well as alcohol withdrawal symptoms, which can make detoxing stressful and even dangerous in the case of such as delirium tremens and alcohol seizures.

Heroin detox is extremely important to ensure a safe recovery, 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.

Many physical conditions induced by addiction also need to be taken into account during detox.
