Pros And Cons Of NHS Treatment

There are upsides and downsides to receiving addiction treatment via the NHS in Cornwall. It’s for you to determine if the pros outweigh the cons, concerning your unique circumstances.

The pros include:

• The service is free
• By law, your information and data provided for treatment is kept confidential
• The service can be accessed in your local community, keeping you close to family and/or work

On the downside:

• There is a waiting list before accessing care, which can make getting admitted a lengthy process
• You might not be referred to residential rehab
• There’s a possibility that you’ll have to attend various clinics/centres for different aspects of your treatment
• You may still be exposed to triggers, stressors, or substances of abuse that may derail your recovery
• You might not have the access to the therapist you need and expect
• Treatment may be provided by different therapists and health workers throughout treatment
• Building an outpatient support network may prove difficult

Addiction Support Groups

Addiction support groups can be highly beneficial to the recovery process. Whilst part of a support group, you’ll be able to share your personal experiences with individuals who are going through (or have been through) just what you’re experiencing. Support groups also help recovering addicts with co-occurring mental conditions like depression.

Support groups offer emotional assistance and guidance to recovering addicts struggling with cravings.

Advantages of addiction support groups include:

• Knowing you’re not alone
• Having people that can hold you accountable for any mistakes or slipups in recovery
• Meeting individuals also aiming for long-lasting abstinence
• Learning skills to cope with cravings
• Getting support during difficult emotional times

Several individuals have attained lasting abstinence with the help of addiction support groups. However, coupling individual therapy and inpatient treatment with support groups will yield far greater results.

To get the best out of working with an addiction support group, you’ll need to know what to expect. For instance, a support group should be encouraging and constructive. A number of support groups are active in Cornwall, including in Falmouth, Looe, and other areas.

How Can I Get to Cornwall?

Cornwall is an English county found at the very southwestern tip of the country. This is why getting there will undoubtedly take you first through Devon, regardless if you’re going by car, rail, or bus.

By Rail

Several of Cornwall’s coastal towns are linked by major railway lines and connect Cornwall with branch lines to Falmouth, Looe, Newquay and St Ives. For example, if you want to reach Truro or Penzance from London, as well as a number of other local stations in the county, by train, you can use the CWR trains from Paddington to your final destination. This is also useful if you’re landing in London from an international flight and need to reach Cornwall from there. Planning a trip by train is easier as the trip is a secure ride lasting 4.5 hours.

By Car

Cars are a convenient way to get around Cornwall, but traffic during peak tourist periods can delay trips. The standard expected ride time is just a bit over 5 hours. You have to use either the M4 or the M3, but the first option is more straight-forward: you should get on the M4 and at the Woodlands Golf and Country Club you should take the left exit onto the M5; after that you go straight until you reach the Devon Expressway where you should take the right turn and use the A30 which will take you through the whole of Cornwall (Bolventor, Bodmin, Lanivet, Redruth, Pool, Penzance,) and into Trevescan right at the Land’s End iconic signpost..

Carshare Cornwall is also available and is a free service that lets you offer or receive lifts for journeys around the county.

Airports

The closest airport is in fact found in Newquay – Cornwall Airport Newquay (IATA: NQY, ICAO: EGHQ). Regular flights are serviced by the following airlines: Aer Lingus Regional, Eurowings, Flybe, Isles of Scilly Skybus, Ryanair, and Scandinavian Airlines. Keep in mind that most routes are seasonal, and the all-year ones are mostly to Dublin, Bedfordshire, London, Manchester, and Alicante.
