What Is Rehab?
More formally entitled “residential rehabilitation”, rehab is widely considered to be the most effective approach to addiction treatment in terms of providing an addict with the greatest chance of a permanent recovery. Rehab addresses the immediate challenges of physical and psychological dependency whilst also (via a holistic combination of therapy, medicine, dietary and fitness regimes, peer-group support and more) enabling patents to understand the origins of addiction and work to ensure they do not return to such destructive patterns and habits once back in the outside world.
At rehab, patients are treated by and have 24/7 access to highly qualified medical professionals who understand the nature of addiction and the great difficulty of escaping it once it has set in. Within attractive, peaceful and secure settings perfectly conducive to mental and physical healing, patients are able to focus solely upon their recovery; moreover, rehabs are totally confidential institutions, ensuring patients’ confidence that details of their condition will not reach the outside world.
How can I get Someone into Rehab?
Because of addiction’s ability to destroy lives over a very short period – and because substance abuse can cause the death of the user at any time (either via overdose, or as a result of an accident or an intentional attack in which drink or drugs play a significant role) – it is absolutely imperative to seek professional help as soon as an addict is prepared to acknowledge their condition and request assistance.
The NHS offers a range of very good addiction treatment services; however, demand is extremely high (and growing), and waiting times in Walsall can be distressingly long (while spaces for many of those services are limited). If you are struggling with a serious addiction and need help, time is of the essence: reach out to discuss some of the private options available to you with an addiction specialist. Call 0800 024 1455 today.
The Advantages of Private Rehab
As mentioned above, rehab provides a setting which is extremely conducive to healing, contemplation and recovery: facilities tend to be attractive, quiet, secure (and, again, confidential) locations in which patients from all walks of life can begin to get back on their feet.
Upon entering rehab, and having been assessed by a medical team, an addict will embark upon a detox assisted by medical professionals there to ensure that the detox process and the experience of withdrawal is as safe and comfortable as possible. Once this phase is complete, and the patient’s system is cleansed of substances of abuse, they move into a period of therapy with different therapy models provided in a range of settings – both one-to-one and group – aimed at addressing the root causes of their addiction and developing the defence mechanisms necessary to safeguard against relapse. Throughout their stay patients will also benefit from tailored dietary and fitness plans and from an array of other resources available (varying from one rehab to another).
Because recovery is not complete the moment a patient walks out of the facility, but is an ongoing process, at the end of a stay in any quality rehab, they will receive free aftercare for up to a year; this can help safeguard against relapse as well as ensuring that the patient feels they still have robust support during a crucial period in their recovery journey.
What Does Rehab Cost Near Walsall?
The cost of private rehab will vary from one facility to another depending on the nature of the treatment programs offered and of the standard of the facility in question (for example, luxury rehabs can logically be expected to cost more). Roughly speaking, standard costs in or near Walsall range from £5,500 to £11,000 per month, although the cheapest treatment may be obtained for as little as £834 per week. For more specifics, call 0800 804 4755.
NHS Addiction Treatment Options Near Walsall
Private rehab may not be an option for everybody – possibly for reasons of cost, or perhaps because you do not feel it is feasible for you to spend a significant period away from your family and/or work commitments. Do not give up hope if this is the case: there are a number of NHS and charity resources in and near Walsall which can help you or a loved one tackle even the longest-standing addiction. Talk to your GP about which of these might be open to you and would be appropriate for your situation.
Advantages of NHS Treatment
Most obviously, one key advantage of going via the NHS for addiction treatment is that treatment The NHS does a wonderful job, and one of its primary advantages is, of course, that its services are free at the point of use; private rehab, meanwhile, does come at a cost which can be offputting to some addicts (though compared with the potential costs of continuing to live with a dangerous addiction, this may be seen as a very valuable investment).
NHS services are also very accessible geographically as it operates throughout the country (whereas some rehab facilities may be some way away from Walsall); NHS standards are also very high (though again waiting times may be substantial).
Addiction Support Groups
Alongside treatment facilities and programs able to address the immediate challenges of addiction and dependency, various organisations are active across the UK helping addicts who are in recovery. Some of these operate on a support group model: groups of people who are themselves recovering addicts who convene at regular (often weekly) meetings for mutual support, advice on staying sober and clean, and simple companionship and friendship (which can be key for many addicts who struggle with loneliness after turning their backs on drug-abusing peer groups). Support group attendees may be only recently free from addiction, or may have been clean for long periods; they come from all demographics and are brought together by their shared experiences of addiction and recovery. Usually, attendance at such groups is free: the only requirement is a commitment to abstaining from substances of abuse.
The best-known support group organisation – and one on which many others have been modelled – is Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Founded in 1935, AA provides the famous 12-step programme of personal and spiritual progress (one of the steps being to acknowledge that a higher power – such as God – governs one’s life and can help with an alcoholic’s recovery). Narcotics Anonymous (NA) was founded in 1953 based on the AA model and is the second-largest support group organisation internationally, specifically aimed at helping recovering drug addicts. Along similar lines are Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Heroin Anonymous (HA), Marijuana Anonymous (MA) and Crystal Meth Anonymous (CMA), all of which operate 12-step programmes. There are also support groups such as Al-Anon and Nar-Anon assisting the families and friends of addicts which typically hold meetings alongside those for the addicts themselves.
Each local support group chapter is run independently, and meeting schedules and venues are of necessity subject to change. To find information on meetings in or near Walsall, see the relevant websites:

Types of Counselling
One type of assistance for recovering addicts considered especially beneficial for those with busy schedules is individual counselling, which can be engaged in either following attendance at rehab or other treatment, or potentially as a means of managing an addiction prior to engagement in a full treatment. Private counsellors offering a wide variety of different approaches to therapy can be found across the country; they are seen by private appointment on an ongoing – typically weekly – basis, and usually charge a fee per appointment.
