Pros And Cons Of NHS Treatment

Pros

The major advantage of NHS treatment is the fact that it is mostly government-funded. Some charities also partner with the government to provide treatment. This means you don’t have to pay any fees to get the help you need. The funding is limited, but anyone with a mild to moderate case of addiction, that can be treated on an outpatient basis, will benefit from this option.

Cons

The major disadvantage of free treatment is the fact that it is not available to everyone. The NHS waiting list can be long, and the charities working with the government to provide free treatment tend to only target a certain demographic. Many of them focus on one or more of the following: men, women, teenagers, the homeless, and the elderly. There is, therefore, every chance that you won’t make the cut.

Additionally, the limited funding available means that these facilities cannot provide bespoke treatment. Even when a more general approach to treatment can work, they might not be able to keep you in the rehab programme for as long as you need to make a full recovery.

Addiction Support Groups

All around South Yorkshire, you will find groups of recovering addicts who have come together to help each other in the journey towards sobriety by sharing experiences. These support groups are pivotal in the fight against relapse. This is why it is recommended that you remain a part of the group long after leaving rehab.

How Can I Get To and From South Yorkshire?

South Yorkshire is comfortably situated between North Yorkshire, the East Riding of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Greater Manchester. It’s easy to access the county’s HQ town Barnsley from all these other counties within as little as 80 minutes by either car or by train.

By Road>/h3>
South Yorkshire is 166 miles away from London, about a 3-hour drive. The drive via the M1 will go through Luton, Leicester, Loughborough, Northampton, and Chesterfield. If you don’t want to drive, you can get on the National Express bus route. However, this can take double the driving time.

From Manchester, the drive will take about 80 minutes via the A6 and A57 to M67 in Audenshaw, from there continue straight to Market St/A628 which will take you to Barnsley. If you’re travelling from Wakefield (West Yrokshire’s main city), you can get to Barnsley in about half na hour via the M1 which you have to exit at Junction 37 where you will end up on the A628 for Barnsley/Machester.

By Train

If you’re coming from a longer distance, for example Surrey’ Guildford, your drive would take about 3.5 hours, so we would recommend switching to the local railways where you would travel just 20 minutes more, but without the responsibilities related to driving. The line is serviced by the South Western Railway,the Victoria Line, East Midlands Trains, and Northern railways. Unfortunately, no reliable direct route is available, so you will have to switch trains between Surrey and South Yorkshire.

You can also get trains from London’s St. Pancras International Station for a 2-hour trip, which will end at the Rotherham Forge Island Station. Tickets are priced at around £13.

Large train stations in the county include also the ones in Rotherham, Sheffield, Doncaster, and Chapel Town.
