Pros And Cons Of NHS Treatment

The pros of NHS options include:

• Your information and personal details are protected by law
• You don’t get to pay a penny to access this treatment
• You can get treatment through these programmes in your community close to your home
• You can get extra emotional support from friends and family

There are disadvantages attached to NHS options they include:

• Admissions process could take a long time and your treatment may commence late
• You’re not guaranteed referral to a residential rehab
• You may be required to go from one clinic to the other for separate treatments
• Most NHS programmes only offer outpatient treatment
• The prevalence of the substances you’re addicted to in your environment could see you struggle with treatment
• Access to therapists and health care professionals could be really difficult

Addiction Support Groups

Addiction support groups are helpful aids to sustaining your recovery in the long run. These groups do not come at a cost, as attendance and membership are completely free. Your only obligation will be to attend meetings with the mindset of staying free from drugs and alcohol.

You’ll find different meetings spread throughout Cambridgeshire on different days of the week. Through stories and experiences shared by fellow recovering addicts, the passion to stay strong in recovery will be re-ignited. Though these groups aren’t handled by professionals, they have proven to be helpful over many decades, and addicts have stayed free from drugs for many years thanks to these mutual aid communities.

We urge you to join a recovery group the moment you leave your residential rehab, or during your outpatient treatment programme.

How Can I Get To Cambridgeshire?

By Rail

You can get direct connections from Cambridgeshire Railway Station to St Pancras, Liverpool Street Station, and London King’s Cross. You can also find links to Peterborough, Birmingham, Norwich, King’s Lynn and Ely, Ipswich, Gatwick Airport, and Stanstead Airport.

The busiest stations in the county are in Cambridge, Shippea Hill, Ely, and Royston. You can virtually go everywhere in the county from the central Cambridge station.

By Car

The A14 joins the M11 motorway, where it terminates at the city’s north-west region coming from east London. There’s a connection with St Neots and Bedford via the A428, and another with Ely and King’s Lyn via the A10.

If you’re coming from Manchester or its general direction, then you will want to use the M60, then move onto M62, the A1 , follow the flow towards Cambridge onto the M11 and exit at junction 12 where the sign reads Cambridge/Sandy. After that it depends on where exactly you want to go in the area.

If you’re coming from Cardiff, for example, although the time of the trip is almost equal to other options – a bit over 3.5 hours – it’s mostly a trip on the M$, followed by the A4042, and then follow whichever signs are best suited for your trip.

If you’re not familiar with the area, it’s possible that the rehab clinic staff will help you orientate by using local landmarks such as the University campuses and other buildings, the Huntingdon castle, Grafham Water etc. Try to make yourself familiar with the area before you go. The same is valid also for your designated driver, if you have one with you.
