Local Residential Alcohol and Drug Rehab in Cambridgeshire
The severity of your addiction depends on the number of drugs you are taking, the frequency of use, and the combination of drugs taken. Injecting substances circumvents the natural digestive process, and sends the drug straight to your system, which also accelerates the timeline of addiction, and increases the risk of mental health issues as well as blood-borne viruses such as HIV and Hepatitis.
If you drink alcohol to distract yourself from stress in your life, or to numb feelings of loneliness, pain, trauma, depression, and other mental health issues, it will only worsen the symptoms, and make it harder to break free from addiction. Physical ailments such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, liver problems, and asthma, increase your risk of suffering a fatal accident, overdosing or suffering a medical emergency when you abuse drugs.
However, addiction specialists can help you. There are innovative treatments geared towards helping you understand deep-rooted issues such as abandonment, childhood trauma, drug and alcohol abuse of a family member, and other factors that might have fueled your drinking or substance abuse. Rehab centres offer a therapeutic community in which you can focus solely on getting better and learning to live an abstinent life

The Pros and Cons of Private Rehab
The Pros
Safety: Detox is the first step of rehabilitation. Depending on the severity of your addiction, and the combination of drugs and other substances used, detox can be a dangerous process. Your carer or family member put their lives, and yours, at risk when they try to oversee a home detox because they are not medically equipped to handle an emergency. At our rehab centre, patients are supervised by doctors and nurses throughout treatment, to ensure you remain safe.
Personalised treatment: Government-funded treatment is stretched to the limit because there are hundreds of people who need access at any given time. Sometimes, detox and rehabilitation are conducted in an outpatient setting. Private rehabs use an individualised treatment plan that guides the treatment of each patient, in a therapeutic environment.
Freshly prepared meals: Nutrition is a big part of recovery, it replenishes the lost vitamins and nutrients your body needs to heal itself physically and mentally. All your meals at private rehab are freshly prepared by an expert chef. You’ll also learn more about healthy diets, calorie counting, and making the right food choices that complement your recovery efforts.
Sustainable recovery: Treatment is not just about therapy and pharmacology. The goal is to help you maintain lifelong abstinence from drugs. This can only be achieved through the implementation of sustainable techniques. Private rehab centres teach you coping skills, relapse prevention, anger management, educational classes, skill building, and other alternative ways of managing cravings without giving in to relapse triggers.
The Cons
Treatment is more expensive than outpatient treatment
Some insurers do not cover private treatment
Difficulty living away from family
Risk of losing your job if you’re staying in rehab for an extended period of time
How Much Does Rehab Cost in Cambridge?
The cost of treatment varies across locations and individual rehab centres.

How to Choose a Recovery Programme
When looking for a recovery programme, ask your GP for referrals. They are familiar with your medical records and are in a good position to recommend a rehab centre for you. Location is also important. Some addiction experts believe that travelling removes all distractions and allows the patient to focus better. Others suggest that staying closer to home ensures the family can offer support. It’s always a good idea to choose a rehab centre within a three-hour drive from your residence if you want your loved ones to be a part of your recovery journey.
Check the certification of the rehab centre. UK rehabs must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The staff at the rehab should also be qualified and licensed to treat your addiction needs. If you require intensive treatment, a smaller programme would be the right fit for you, because they have a bigger staff-to-patient ratio.
What are your treatment needs? Would you be better served as an inpatient or outpatient facility? If you have any medical or mental health conditions, have stayed in a rehab before, or have used drugs/alcohol for a long time or combined substances, inpatient treatment is right for you. Outpatient treatment is more suited to short-term users who have a mild addiction, or high-functioning addicts whose lives have not yet been negatively affected by addiction.
