FAQs
Rehabilitation (rehab) typically refers to a program or facility designed to help individuals recover from addiction, injuries, or other medical conditions. In the context of addiction, rehab programs aim to help individuals stop using drugs or alcohol through a combination of therapy, medical treatment, and lifestyle changes.
Yes, there are free rehab options available in the UK through the National Health Service (NHS). However, the availability of free services may vary by location, and there might be long waiting lists. Charities and non-profit organizations also offer free or subsidized rehab programs.
In rehab, patients typically undergo an initial assessment followed by a detoxification process if necessary. This is followed by a structured program of therapy, which may include individual counseling, group therapy, and other activities aimed at recovery and skill-building for a sober life.
Rehab can be effective, especially for those who are committed to recovery. The success of rehab varies depending on the individual’s circumstances, the type of addiction, the quality of the program, and the level of support provided during and after the program.
The length of time spent in rehab can vary. Common durations include 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days. Some individuals may benefit from longer stays, depending on the severity of their addiction and their recovery progress.
The duration of drug rehab is similar to general rehab durations—typically 7, 14, 21, 28, 42, 56, 70, or 84 days. Some programs may offer shorter or longer stays based on the individual’s needs.
Drug rehab usually involves detoxification, followed by structured therapy sessions. These include cognitive-behavioral therapy, counseling, group meetings, and sometimes supplementary activities like yoga or meditation, all aimed at helping individuals overcome their drug addiction.
We would highly recommend that a friend or family member brings the client into treatment, we do not allow our clients to drive their own car. We understand this isn’t possible for everyone, and under certain circumstances Steps Together at Rainford Hall will arrange a taxi service or driver wherever possible.
To get into rehab, an individual can start by consulting with a healthcare provider for an assessment and referral. Alternatively, one can directly contact rehab centers to inquire about admission requirements and availability.
