Rehab in Cambridgeshire

Addiction to alcohol or drugs is a disease that damages not just the life of an addict, but also endangers that of their loved ones. And, for every day that an addiction goes untreated, the condition only worsens, with its effects becoming more devastating to the addict’s physical and mental health. However, by getting professional help as soon as possible, you can turn things around and make a full recovery.

If you reside in Huntingdon, St Ives, or any other part of Cambridgeshire, you can easily get the professional help you need from us at Sanctuary Lodge, the addiction specialists you can trust. For many years, our private rehab has helped addicts successfully achieve a full recovery from their addictions. We specialise in helping people addicted to alcohol, illegal drugs, and prescription medication, and we can help you too.

At our private rehab, your treatment will begin with an evaluation of your condition, after which a course of treatment personalised to your unique needs will be provided. Treatment will generally include a medically assisted detox, which will significantly minimise the discomfort of your withdrawal symptoms. This will be followed by rehabilitation, which will make use of a variety of therapies to help you recover psychologically, as well as provide you with the tools to achieve long term sobriety.

Our private rehab will take care of you in a serene and controlled environment, free of the triggers and stressors that typically influence you to abuse drugs. This way, you will not be distracted from your recovery process at any point, and can remain fully focused on retaking control of your life.

The Pros and Cons of Private Rehab

Getting your addiction treated in a private rehab is one of the best ways to ensure you get the highest quality treatment. This is because private rehabs are usually staffed by qualified and experienced professionals, and also usually have the necessary facilities and resources to guide an addict towards a full recovery.

Other benefits of getting your addiction treated in a private rehab include:

  • Personalised treatment: To make sure your recovery is comprehensive, in a private rehab, you will be provided a course of treatment that has been tailored to match your particular needs. This type of treatment will ensure no aspect of your addiction goes untreated, and that your recovery isn’t in any way stunted.
  • Round the clock nursing care: You will be monitored and cared for around the clock by a team of medical professionals. Caring for you in this manner means that any sudden changes in your health or comfort are immediately, and appropriately, responded to.
  • Fast admission process: There are no delays in the admission process, which makes it possible for you to get the professional treatment you need as fast as possible.
  • Privacy and confidentiality: The public or a third party will not be given access to your communications and records without your express consent. Which means information concerning your addiction and treatment will be completely protected from public knowledge.
  • Controlled and conducive environment for recovery: Your recovery process in a private rehab will occur in an environment that’s free of the typical stressors and triggers that will normally cause you to abuse drugs. Also, the environment is made as comfortable as possible, to ensure you can stay relaxed and focused solely on your recovery.
  • Aftercare: Necessary support can still be provided after you have been discharged from private rehab through aftercare services. Studies have shown that recovering addicts who participate in aftercare have a higher chance of making a full recovery.

But, on the downside, addiction treatment in a private rehab may cost more than certain individuals can afford. For individuals in Cambridgeshire, who cannot afford addiction treatment in a private rehab, the option of NHS addiction treatment is also available.

How Much Does Rehab Cost in Cambridgeshire?

The cost quoted to you in a private rehab will likely differ from that quoted to another individual. This is because addiction treatment typically varies from individual to individual. Cost of addiction treatment will differ based on a number of factors, especially the severity of addiction and type of treatment provided.

Individuals with more severe addictions can expect to pay more for treatment in a private rehab. Also, if you go into inpatient treatment instead of outpatient treatment, you can expect to pay more.

The cost of addiction treatment can be reduced by taking advantage of your health insurance. But this will only work if your health insurance covers addiction treatment, and if the private rehab accepts health insurance (not all of them do).

If the private rehab offers luxury services, there is a higher likelihood that their services will cost more than that of a standard private rehab.

Free/NHS Addiction Treatment Options in Cambridgeshire

For those in Cambridgeshire that are unable to afford the cost of private rehab, the free option of NHS addiction treatment is available. You can easily access NHS addiction treatment options in your local community, regardless of if you reside in Peterborough, Cambridge, or anywhere else in Cambridgeshire.

NHS addiction treatment options are available through a referral from your GP, or through a self-referral in certain circumstances. However, remember that the quality of addiction treatment received through the NHS is often determined solely by the NHS. This means you may not have access to the quality of treatment you desire if you go in this direction.

Also, there’s usually a waiting list for individuals seeking addiction treatment through the NHS, which means you will have to wait your turn before you can get treatment. The length of the waiting list is typically determined by demand for NHS addiction treatment in your part of Cambridgeshire at the time.

NHS addiction treatment options typically include:

  • Addiction Counselling: If your GP believes counselling is suitable for your condition, you will likely be referred for sessions with an NHS Counsellor.
  • Local Drug and Alcohol Services: You can be referred by your GP to a local drug and alcohol service, where a variety of low intensity therapeutic interventions will be used to help you quit your substance abuse safely.
  • Local Mental Health Team: This will give you access to psychiatrists, psychotherapists, or other specialists.
