Rehab Recovery offers a free and impartial referral service in Oxfordshire for people seeking out private addiction rehabilitation.

Many of these clinics in our network offer modern facilities to allow you to detox and rehabilitate in a comforting and caring environment.

This provides a suitable and attractive means of entering recovery from addiction [1] without unwanted withdrawal symptoms and bad influences that otherwise prohibit your progress in recovery.

In order to refer you to the most suitable rehab provider in Oxfordshire, we carry out an important assessment procedure.
We triage your needs so that we may correctly determine the most suitable form of treatment [2] in Oxfordshire for your particular needs.

Addictions that can be helped [3] at alcohol or drug rehab in Oxfordshire include:

• Alcohol addiction and binge drinking [4]
• Benzodiazepine addiction
• Cannabis use disorder
• Cocaine dependence
• Crack-cocaine addiction
• Opioid use disorder
• Behavioural addictions such as gambling addiction
• Buprenorphine addiction
• Ketamine addiction

The majority of treatment centres offer a range of outpatient and residential treatment options.

By far the best form of treatment in Oxfordshire takes place in a residential clinic. You will then be offered follow-up treatment once your residential treatment concludes via intensive aftercare sessions.

These aftercare sessions are offered free of charge following the completion of your residential treatment.

You are advised to attend as many aftercare sessions as possible. This helps to assist you in your recovery during those delicate first few months when relapse is most likely to occur due to the fact that you are unfamiliar with the nuances and relapse risks that inevitably arise during your early recovery. [5]

Understanding Your Alcohol Problem

Alcoholism can often go unchecked due to the social aspect of drinking in the UK. Oftentimes people use to drink in the same way they might use drugs, to relieve stress or anxiety, even drinking every night [6], but this means consumption is often ignored.

Anyone, whatever their background and whatever their age [7], can develop an addiction to alcohol.

Many people may be living with alcoholism without realising purely because of its legality and cultural place in British society.

This can be dangerous [8], particularly considering the significant impact alcohol addiction can have on an individual’s life expectancy. [9]

Spotting when addiction has taken root can be difficult as individuals will have a different response to alcohol consumption, even if a person is indulging in alcohol frequently. [10] However, taking an Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test [11] (known as AUDIT) can clarify this and show you just how much alcohol may be affecting your life.

It’s easy to do and can give you a better understanding of your consumption and if you need help in Oxfordshire. The first three questions focus on your intake. Questions 4 to 6 ask about dependency and 7 to 10 about the consequences.

When you score 13 or higher, you may be living with alcohol dependency and anything above 8 may be cause for concern.

Having an alcohol dependency is not the end of the world, and there are people out there who can help.

Alcoholics Anonymous Oxfordshire is a 12-step programme designed that believe in a higher power to do just that. Help you reach sobriety and make amends for any damage caused by your addiction.

It’s estimated that 200,000 children [12] in England live with alcohol-dependent parents, but all children deserve to feel safe in their homes. Al-Anon is an organisation that facilitates group therapy for the family and friends of people affected by alcohol.

Other addiction tests that you might come across at rehab in Oxfordshire include the CAGE questionnaire. [13]

Help for Cocaine Addiction in Oxfordshire

In 2020, there was a 7% increase of people reaching out for help with cocaine problems. [14] This is the ninth year in a row where the problem has arisen.

Due to its immediate pleasurable “high” effect, cocaine becomes a psychological addiction before a physical addiction. Cocaine users may build a tolerance to the substance over time, in turn meaning they take higher doses and more frequently.

It may feel hard to come to terms with a cocaine addiction as it is a progressive condition, which means your health will decline over a period of time. An increased tolerance can keep you in denial and unable to reach out for help.

You may want to think about your health as a whole to understand how the drug may be affecting you.

Do you need a large amount to feel the effects? Is your mental health suffering because of your use? Is taking cocaine becoming a priority? Have you tried and failed to quit cocaine?

If you’re answering ‘yes’ to any of the above, it’s time to seek help. At Rehab Recovery we cater to a wide range of substance use disorders.

We can get you on a programme suited to your individual experiences and offer a wide range of therapies to choose from. We can help you narrow down the options, so your rehab experience in Oxfordshire is tailored to your exact needs.

Help for Cannabis Addiction in Oxfordshire

Cannabis is the most widely used illegal substance in the UK. [15] The risk of developing an addiction to cannabis varies for those who smoke it regularly, have used it for a long time, starting at a young age and types of cannabis used.

It’s possible to bring on other physical effects such as making asthma symptoms worse, developing a painful cough, feeling out of breath regularly and a reduced ability to operate machinery safely.

When a regular user doesn’t smoke for a period, they are likely to feel withdrawal symptoms such as sickness and diarrhoea, sweating, shaking, problems sleeping and a low mood or feeling irritable.

These symptoms can be increased due to nicotine addiction when smoked with tobacco. Smoking cannabis with tobacco can also increase your chances of developing cancer and coronary heart disease.

Regular cannabis use has also been linked to infertility due to changes in the menstrual cycle and lower sperm count or quality in men. It can also increase the risk of babies being born prematurely or too small.

Cannabis can be treated at a drug & alcohol rehab in Oxfordshire near you. Rehab Recovery has a wide range of facilities to treat both cannabis addiction and nicotine addiction alongside each other through cannabis addiction treatment.

Help for Heroin Addiction in Oxfordshire

Over half of adults receiving treatment for substance use are there for opiate problems. With 73% of people being treated for opiates being male, compared to females.

Similar to cocaine, heroin is used for its mild-altering effects but when exposed to the brain can build a tolerance. This means the more you take, the more you will need to reach the same ‘high’.

If you’re wondering whether you need a drug & alcohol rehab in Oxfordshire for heroin addiction, you may want to ask yourself:

• Am I unable to stop even though I want to?
• Am I having financial difficulties because of my use?
• Have I stolen to keep up with my addiction?
• Do I feel isolated from friends or family?

If you’re answering ‘yes’, this is a clear indication you need to seek help at Rehab Recovery in Oxfordshire. The main danger with heroin is that even a single use can result in harm to your body.

Short-term health effects you may be experiencing can range from flu-like symptoms such as runny nose, nausea or vomiting, to being in a trance-like state, drowsiness, slow breathing, and lack of clarity in your thinking.

However, long-term effects can be dangerous if untreated. You can developmental problems such as depression, internal diseases in the liver or kidney, find skin infections that are hard to heal, damaged veins and have a high risk of bloodborne viruses.

Heroin overdose is serious. If you experience the shallow breath, blue nails or lips, a weak pulse, drowsiness or muscle spasms you need to seek medical help immediately.

Rehab Recovery can help you in Oxfordshire before it’s too late. By reaching out to our drug & alcohol rehab Oxfordshire we can get you on a heroin detox sooner than you think.

We’ll rid your body of the substance before getting to work on the psychological side of the disease.

Rehab can help you with your heroin withdrawal, as well as any effects of using heroin such as hepatitis.

Professional Intervention in Oxfordshire

It is unsurprising that in the UK the highest source for referral to addiction treatments is through self-referral or friends and family. [16]

Our families play a huge part in our lives and reaching out to a loved one who you believe may be suffering alone can change their lives forever.

If you’ve started to notice [17] that your loved one is struggling with addiction, the you’ll need to discover how to help.

Perhaps your loved one’s substance use has progressed from causal indulgence to daily abuse [18] and you want to help them get better.

Through intervention, it is possible to help a loved one understand the impacts their addiction or substance use may be having on those around them. Oftentimes addiction sufferers may be living in denial about their problem, finding it hard to see its wider consequences and being unable to take that first step towards recovery. [19]

Addiction and substance use can cause rifts within family settings, from being secretive or lying to stealing from loved ones to acquire the substance.

Physical changes such as poor self-care and lack of sleep can also show themselves to your loved ones and children. No child should have to suffer these consequences and neither do you.

At Rehab Recovery in Oxfordshire we can guide you on best practices to intervene [20] in a loved one suffering from a substance use disorder.

We can teach you the best ways to approach the matter and offer professional help when the time comes. Using an addiction counsellor during your intervention can increase the chances of your loved one seeking the help they require.

It’s important to note that an intervention is there to help your loved ones seek the help they need and not to project any anger or frustration onto them. Neither is it a form of blackmailing them into seeking rehab, but more a strategy for change.

With an addiction counsellor present, they can answer any questions your loved one may have. They can break down stigmas around rehab and offer a safe referral there and then, making the admissions process a smooth transition.

Writing letters to your loved ones is another way of saying how much they mean to you and how important their health is. You’ll need to use the right tone and avoid blaming them for their addiction by using compassion and letting them know you’re there to support them.

It’s proven that interventions work and with the right specialist, you can get your loved ones the treatment in Oxfordshire they need sooner than you think.

Admissions Process at Rehab Recovery in Oxfordshire

If you’ve recognised that you may need treatment from a drug & alcohol rehab in Oxfordshire, Rehab Recovery can help you decide the best treatment going forward.

Our admissions team are available around the clock so you can reach out at a time that suits you. We’ll ask questions to help us understand what treatment in Oxfordshire is necessary for your individual needs.

Rehab Recovery will use the ASAM criterion [21] to place you on the right programme. These questions will cover six dimensions to build a biopsychosocial assessment of your condition and place you on the continuum of care.

These dimensions explore your past and current experiences with the substance of choice, looking into your withdrawal potential. We’ll look at any biomedical conditions or complications that may occur based on your current and health history.

We’ll discuss your individual thoughts and emotions regarding the substance and any underlying mental health conditions which may be present.

Then we’ll explore your readiness to change. Rehabilitation in Oxfordshire is about a lifestyle change for the better, and not just a one-stop-fix-all treatment to rid the substance from the body.

Rather, attending a drug & alcohol rehab in Oxfordshire is about committing to complete abstinence from the substance, not just substance management or harm reduction. [22]

Experts have agreed [23] that abstinence is always the safer and more effective route to addiction recovery in Oxfordshire.

We’ll then get into your unique relationship with relapse whether you’ve tried to go cold turkey before or not. We need to understand any continued use problems which may occur.

Lastly, we’ll explore your living situations and the people, places and things around you in order to assess any lifestyle changes necessary for a successful recovery in Oxfordshire.

Once our admissions team have a full understanding of your condition and relationship with the substance, we can get to work on forming you a tailored plan of treatment to suit your individual needs.

This does not always mean a 28-day residential stay is necessary. For acute alcoholism, this can be treated both at a drug & alcohol rehab in Oxfordshire or at home through home detox programmes.

Our assessment of you will give you an indication of what is best. Then you can decide on your next steps based on your own preferences.

Addiction is not considered a ‘choice’ or ‘moral failing’ on behalf of the addiction sufferer [24] – rehab is about treating the disease of addiction.

Disease Model of Addiction

Image above: Family therapy at a rehab in Oxfordshire

It’s important to understand that addiction is a disease of the brain. That being addicted to a substance is not a failure on your part but a change in your cognitions caused by the substance.

The brain is susceptible to psychoactive substances and misuse can cause substantial harm. Taking prescribed medications for purposes other than directed is a misuse of drugs. Along with taking more or less of a prescribed drug, or another person’s medication.

Drug abuse can be defined by habitually using illicit drugs, whereas addiction is the disease caused by these substance use disorders. However, it’s important to understand the brain disease model of addiction.

The model emphasises that there are four main sources of addiction. [25] Biological sources mean every person’s physiology can contribute to a substance disorder, that some can find it difficult to quit whereas others do not experience enjoyment from the substance.

Advances in neuroscience suggest people have varying levels of brain function to control urges and impulses with just rational thinking.

Environmental sources such as high levels of stress, peer pressure, low parental involvement [26] and childhood trauma can influence our ability to deal with addiction.

Genetic factors can also influence our likelihood to develop addictions, as some people are more prone to the disease. All of which can affect how your body deals with substance use.

Being controlled by a substance during addiction is the stripping of free will and the ability to choose how to live your life. This inability to control your actions, to stop using alcohol or drugs is due to the functionality of your prefrontal cortex.

This is the part of the brain with executive function, it controls your self-monitoring and reward systems. The problem is when an addicted brain is deprived of the substance, it becomes unable to deal with stress, leading to negative emotions and despair.

This also means that the usual pleasures in life such as watching a beautiful sunset or chatting with friends can be dulled down and unenjoyable. Pre-existing mental health problems can also trigger poor responses and perpetuate addiction.

It’s important to reach a dual diagnosis when thinking about rehabilitation treatment at a drug & alcohol rehab in Oxfordshire. To treat the addiction successfully, you must also treat any underlying problems or related conditions. [27]

You can read more about the disease of addiction here. [28]

Dual Diagnosis in Oxfordshire

As part of your assessment, your mental health status is reviewed against the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) [29]. This can help us reach a dual diagnosis to treat any underlying issues that are present. [30]

It’s not possible to treat addiction without first looking at the reasons why you began, or how your mental health perpetuates drug or alcohol use.

Reaching a dual diagnosis means you can get the treatment you need for issues such as depression, anxiety, stress or any other mental health disorders that may be going unchecked.

At rehab, you will have a psychiatric assessment by a psychiatrist to determine whether you need psychiatric treatment.

Through our talking therapies, you’ll learn ways to tackle these mental health conditions. We don’t simply aim to eradicate the substance from your body but also to treat the mind and in turn help you lead a healthier and happier life overall.

The five most common mental health conditions (according to the DSM-5) in the UK are Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder and Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). All of which can be treated through psychotherapy.

Other conditions [31] commonly include:

• Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Borderline personality disorder (BPD) [32] or anti-social personality disorder (APD) [33]
• Bipolar disorder
• Schizophrenia
• Eating disorders

One in six people has a mental health condition [34] in the UK, which means you are not alone in your diagnosis.

Rehab Recovery is there for you no matter what condition you may be suffering and no matter how severe your addiction may be. We can get you the help you need, you only need to reach out.

Private vs Council-Funded Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Oxfordshire

Image above: Outside a drug and alcohol rehab in Oxfordshire

There are many options available to you when it comes to finding a drug & alcohol rehab in Oxfordshire. But understanding what care you really need is important to your success in recovery.

If you’re suffering from a substance use disorder, the costs involved can be daunting. Here you’ll find the pros and cons of private rehab compared to a council-funded experience.

Council Funded Rehab in Oxfordshire

The NHS [35] has limited abilities when it comes to rehabilitation, due largely to the sheer cost of treatment. [36] They can prepare you for recovery in several ways:

• By supporting you and your family
• Offering one-to-one support
• Prescribing medications for opiate addictions
• Planning recovery and care
• Offering motivational interviewing
• Facilitating rehabilitation
• Structuring counselling and relapse prevention

However, there are many downfalls to the services you can receive for free in Oxfordshire:

• You may not be referred to residential rehab
• You could be asked to attend multiple clinics
• There are lengthy admissions processes and waiting lists [37]
• Your recovery can be distracted by life daily life activities
• You may not always see the same therapist as access to a personal therapist is limited.

Private Rehab in Oxfordshire

Private rehab in Oxfordshire can give you a wider set of options when it comes to care, treatment, facilities, and therapy. You can expect:

• Medically-assisted detoxification
• Proven counselling treatments [38]
• Alternative and holistic therapies
• One-to-one and group therapy options
• Motivational interviewing
• Dual diagnosis care – treating other problems at the same time
• Around the clock, 24-hour care during residential stays
• Aftercare and ongoing therapy to ensure recovery continues
• Relapse prevention techniques and support

However, attending a residential rehab in Oxfordshire for drug or alcohol problems also has its downfalls:

• You will need to find childcare during your stay
• Your days are structured [39], from eating times to sleeping schedules
• You’ll have to take leave from your job
• You cannot come and go as you please.

All of these are things to consider when deciding whether to receive private or council-funded rehabilitation.

Benefits of Rehab in Oxfordshire

Professionally supported drug and alcohol rehab in Oxfordshire is one of the best ways to recover from addiction.

Rehab Recovery can help you make the changes you need to lead a healthy life. By making lifestyle changes to your environment, diet, activities and behaviours you can grow into a different person.

Addiction and substance use disorders don’t just affect the individual but also those around them. Making this commitment to lifelong change is beneficial to not only yourself but to the people you surround yourself with.

Attending a drug & alcohol rehab in Oxfordshire can help you break addictive cycles [40] which perpetuate the problem and maintain control over your life. You’ll meet people experiencing similar problems and processes in a safe environment away from any triggers and access to substances.

Not everyone needs to detox, but for some detox alone is not enough to break these cycles and once completed, the real work begins with therapy.

When the substance is out of the body, you’ll have a clearer mind in which to educate yourself on addiction. Learning about your specific addiction means you’ll gain insight into the sensory experiences, events, people and habits that trigger your cravings.

Our psychologist at our drug & alcohol rehab Oxfordshire can help you explore these triggers so you can learn to avoid and manage them when returning to your daily life.

You’ll gain insight into what draws you to the substance of choice. Whether it’s a coping mechanism to relieve stress, or helps to numb your emotions when feeling overwhelmed in pain.

Drugs can be used to gain approval from others, to fit into a group of people or to avoid responsibility but it’s important to have an understanding of your specific reasoning.

Our counsellors are specifically trained to help you dig deep and find these underlying reasons, to teach you how to make sense of them and give you the tools you need to cope in the future, so you don’t have to rely on substances.

You’ll find that since your addiction relinquishes your desire to look after yourself and you’ll need to form better self-care habits. Looking after your physical health can increase your mental health overall.

Setting and reaching goals is part of this process as most people do not know how to set goals that can be achieved. Beginning with sincere intentions that usually get abandoned because they didn’t approach the goal in the right frame of mind.

A repetitive frame of wanting to quit but continually failing weakens us to the point most people stop trying. But this should not deter you from trying professional rehabilitation.

Accepting that addiction can take control of your life and that making small changes is not enough if your first step to freedom. You must commit yourself and be ready to make complete lifestyle changes to reach long-term recovery.

This includes making changes to the relationships in your life, your occupation, spiritual aspirations, and your physical and mental health.

You’ll learn to establish healthy boundaries. Since substance abuse can take away responsibilities, having a relational boundary means you can move forward with familial tasks and responsibilities.

In turn, creating a healthier and more welcoming home environment for your loved ones and children. You are not alone in this process and having these people around you understand your needs is pivotal to success.

Is Rehab in Oxfordshire for Me, and Am I the Only One?

If you have recognized [41] that you are struggling with addiction and it is affecting your life, then a rehab facility in Oxfordshire may be the best option for you.

There are a few signs to look for that point towards a need for professional assistance to gain sobriety:

• You hide your addiction and make excuses to drink or do drugs
• You have an urge to drink or do drugs whenever the effects wear off
• You have attempted to stop on your own but were unable to
• You have noticed a marked decrease in your ability to perform at work or school
• You notice relationship problems due to the addiction
• You neglect responsibilities in order to get high or drink
• You cannot control the amount or frequency of your habit
• You have developed health complications due to your addiction

You could also suffer from a wide range of clear physical consequences of addiction, including:

• Delirium Tremens
• Hepatitis
• Cancer [42]
• Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome [43]
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure [44]
• A weakened immune system
• Deficiencies of various essential minerals (Calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, etc.) [45]
• Brain damage [46]
• Liver disease [47] and cirrhosis [48]
• Digestive issues

These consequences can be extremely severe, but when addiction sufferers get the right help, these dangerous conditions can be properly treated and possibly even reversed. [49]

It is also worth noting that individuals can have significantly different signs to the same addiction. For example, someone suffering from type one alcohol addiction [50] can expect to display symptoms of anxiety and low novelty-seeking behaviour, whilst those suffering from type two alcoholism [51] typically present high novelty-seeking behaviour and rarely suffer from anxiety.

You are not alone in this struggle. Millions of people around the world are currently diagnosed with an addiction.

Alcohol addiction needs a medically-assisted detox using Chlordiazepoxide (brand name Librium) in order to ease alcohol withdrawal symptoms or alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

You could be prescribed a wide range of different medications to help with recovery, including Acamprosate [52], Naltrexone [53] and a wide range of antidepressants [54] or anti-anxiety medications [55] when necessary.

Without rehab, alcohol addiction can result in delirium tremens, seizures, conditions like Wernicke-Korakoff Syndrome [56] or even death. [57]

There are resources available to help you overcome the damaging effects it can cause.

What Happens During Drug & Alcohol Rehab Oxfordshire?

Going to rehab for several weeks is undoubtedly an opportunity of a lifetime. Here, you will be given the tools to live your life in recovery. You will learn to arrest your addiction so that you do not relapse following the completion of your treatment.

Whilst going to rehab is an overwhelmingly positive development in your life, it’s also something that likely fills you with trepidation and unease.

When you contact Rehab Recovery, we help to diminish any unease you may have regarding going to rehab. We explain what will happen during the entire rehab process so you are entirely at ease with the procedure.

Generally, when you go to rehab Oxfordshire, you will benefit from a medically assisted detox programme. Before this begins, you will be fully assessed by a consultant psychiatrist.

Depending on the nature of your addiction, you will usually be prescribed a range of medications that assist you in withdrawing from drugs or alcohol in a safe and controlled manner.

This medication regime will also be supplemented with a highly nutritious meal plan. The majority of clinics we recommend employ a full-time kitchen team who will prepare your daily meals.

How Long Does Rehab In Oxfordshire Last?

Full recovery from drug and alcohol addiction can take anywhere from six months to five years or longer [58], but formal treatment will rarely last thing long.

The most successful rehab Oxfordshire programmes are a minimum of 28 days in length. However, you can choose to simply go through the detox period and then handle the rest outpatient. The detox period can take a week to a week and a half.

This is the time when most people relapse if they leave too soon. Trying to save money by cutting time at rehab will only end up costing more in the long run if you relapse.

What Role Does Therapy Play During Recovery in Oxfordshire?

During your rehabilitation programme, the majority of your time will be spent in therapy sessions. These sessions make use of both group and individual counselling.

Therapy sessions are supervised by a range of professionals. These professionals include psychotherapists, group therapy practitioners, and holistic therapy practitioners.

Many of the rehab clinics in Oxfordshire we recommend have invested millions of pounds in developing custom-built facilities. Many centres limit the number of clients to around 12 at any one time.

This ensures you receive the maximum amount of care and attention from staff throughout your stay.

These rehab clinics in Oxfordshire specialise in treating a variety of addictions and the various mental health problems that commonly co-exist with addiction. Many of these mental ailments are the result of traumatic experiences occurring in childhood or early adulthood.

Therapy sessions aim to help clients process these traumatic memories in healthier ways that do not involve substance misuse. This approach ensures the deep-rooted causes of addiction [61] are treated.

Types of Therapy for Addiction in Oxfordshire

Below is a list of some of the most common types of therapy [62] available for drug and alcohol addiction:

• Cognitive-behavioural therapy assists you in finding new ways to cope by anticipating problem areas in your life and enhancing self-control. This particular therapy had extremely high success rates [63] with relatively low odds of relapse [64], however it will only be effective for certain individuals. [65]
• Dialectical behaviour therapy is a way to learn how to regulate your emotions by allowing you to accept and overcome troubling thought patterns.
• The Matrix Model is a treatment that includes significant behaviour changes as well as structured education and accountability.
• Motivational enhancement therapy, motivational interviewing and other dedicated motivational therapies guide individuals through finding inner motivation and self-confidence [66] to remain sober, which often makes the difference [67] between successful recovery and relapse.
• Family behavioural therapy: often the family structure is damaged by addiction. Without therapy to help guide the entire family through restructuring, there is a high chance of relapse.

Other popular forms of therapy include:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
• Acupuncture
• Art therapy
• Codependency treatment
• Contingency management
• Drama therapy
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
• Mindfulness
• Music therapy
• Equine therapy
• Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
• Brief interventions

Aftercare – What Happens Once Rehab in Oxfordshire Ends?

While in rehab, you will work with doctors and therapists to create a recovery plan for yourself. This will include aftercare, which may involve 12-step programmes, community support groups, family therapy, and individual therapy.

There will be a focus on creating a new, supportive environment for yourself so that you can flourish and continue to grow. This is a time when having encouragement from family and friends is essential.

You will also need to actively stick to your relapse prevention plan, an essential part of helping you to stay sober [68] after treatment as, sadly, addiction cannot be definitively cured. [69]

FAQs about Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Oxfordshrie

There are a few things you want to know before you choose a rehab Oxfordshire treatment plan. The following questions will be able to tell you a lot about what to expect from a facility:

What types of programmes are there?

There should always be a variety of options available, including inpatient, outpatient, residential, or shorter length options.

How much is the treatment?

There will be cheaper options, but keep in mind that relapse will be even more costly in the end than spending the money needed for a more extended stay if that is what ends up being necessary to facilitate rehabilitation.

Are their treatments scientifically based?

If something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is, so be sure that whatever facility you choose has proper licensing and credentials. They should also have medical research to back up their methods.

What is the support structure like?

Family involvement is usually encouraged, with most inpatient programmes providing an opportunity for family therapy. See if this is an option. Also, you want to make sure they have some kind of plan in place after treatment is complete.

Aftercare is vital for recovery in Oxfordshire.

Why Private Treatment Works in Oxfordshire

You are treated by a medical team that is trained in rehabilitation. The environment is stable and structured, which is something that helps most people through the first few stages when emotional and physical symptoms are at their worst.

The treatment plans are tailored to fit your medical and emotional needs, which will increase the chance of long-term. Aftercare is also included with private treatment, and statistically, it works better than those provided by either NHS or community-based programmes.

For more information about rehab in Oxfordshire, simply reach out to our 24/7, confidential hotline on 0800 088 66 86.
