Pros And Cons Of NHS Treatment

While NHS addiction treatment can be a lifesaver, you need to consider the pros and cons of this option, in order to determine if it is suitable for your, or a loved one’s, addiction recovery needs.
Pros of NHS treatment in Worcestershire include:

• The services are free
• You confidentiality is guaranteed by the law

Cons of NHS treatment in Worcestershire:

• There is a long waiting list which can delay your access to the treatment you need
• You may not be referred to a residential rehab

Addiction Support Groups

Addiction support groups are very beneficial to the addiction recovery process. Being part of a group will provide you with an avenue to share your personal experiences, as well as receive emotional guidance and support when needed. Support groups can also help recovering addicts with co-occurring mental conditions like depression.

Other benefits of being in a support group during recovery include:

• Being, and working, with others who are also trying to achieve long-lasting sobriety
• Learning skills to conquer cravings
• Access to emotional, and other forms of, support during trying times
• Having people to hold you accountable

How Can I Get To Worcestershire?

There are a number of different routes and options depending on your location. The largest areas in the county (Worcester, Redditch, Kidderminster and more) also provide the most rehab facilities, but if you prefer a calmer environment, maybe a smaller town such as Pershore, Tenbury Wells, or Bewdley would be a better choice.

By Rail

A number of train stations that you can use to get to and from Worcestershire are spread around the county. These include Alvechurch, Barnt Green, Blakedown, Bromsgrove, Droitwich Spa, Evesham, Malvern Link, Worcester Shrub Hill, and others. The majority of these train stations are served by West Midlands Railway and Great Western Railway.

By Car

Cars are a convenient way to get around Worcestershire. If you choose to drive, you can map out your trip with a route mapping app. Keep in mind that the area is served by a number of highways and motorways.

If you’re coming from London and the London area, then the best option will be the M40 until the junction with the M42. After you reach that area, you can then continue onto the M5 southward. The signs for Worcester can lead you to the very centre of the county. The total drive from London to Worcester is 113 miles. If you’re coming from Birmingham it’s just 27 miles, 57 miles from Oxford, and 111 miles from Manchester.
