Rehab in Norfolk

Drug and alcohol addiction is a terrible disease that severely affects the lives of the addicts and their families. Millions of people in the UK are living with untreated addiction, and other mental health issues, because they don’t know their options, can’t access treatment, feel they don’t need professional help, or assume the cost of rehab puts it out of their reach.

A drug or alcohol rehab centre is crucial to your recovery. These facilities are equipped with state of the art infrastructure, combined with the expertise of addiction specialists, and doctors and nurses, who can help you recover from your addiction. Here, you’ll find both private and free listings of rehab centres, in and around Norfolk, where you can receive comprehensive treatment for your addiction.

How Much Does Rehab Cost in Norfolk?

The cost of treatment varies across rehab centres. It depends on the duration of the treatment, type of facility, intensity level of the programme, staff-to-patient ratio, size of the programme, amenities on offer, and expertise of the staff. There is no fixed price, but most private rehabs charge between £1,000-£3,500 per week for inpatient care and detox. If you’re staying at a luxury rehab facility, expect to spend around £10,000 a week for treatment.

The numbers might appear daunting at first, but you have several options to reduce the burden of out-of-pocket costs. It’s cheaper if you’re sharing a room with someone, as private rooms cost more. Contact your insurer to find out what’s covered by your medical insurance. Family and friends might also be willing to assist you financially to help you get better. You could take out a bank loan, or apply for a government grant via the NHS.

How to Choose a Recovery Programme

Choosing the right rehab centre in Norfolk can be a complicated process, if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Here are a few tips to help you make the right choice.

Visit various rehab centres: You can only learn so much from looking at the website of a rehab centre. To understand what the actual experience will be like, visit some of the top rehabs in Norfolk, and take a look at their facilities, to get an idea of their treatment procedures, environment, and staff.

Inpatient or outpatient: These are the two major forms of rehab in the UK. Inpatient rehab requires you to live at the clinic for the duration of treatment, and outpatient rehab means you’ll be living at home whilst receiving treatment at the rehab centre.

Generally, inpatient treatment has a higher success rate, but its more expensive than outpatient care. If you’re a long-term user, combine alcohol and drugs, or have any mental health issues or medical conditions, you should enrol as an inpatient.

Standard rehab or luxury/executive rehab: Whilst both rehabs have the same goal, there is a visible difference in the amenities provided, staff-to-patient ratio, location, and serenity of the environment at a luxury rehab. Standard rehab offers basic facilities, but they are fully functional and absolutely help patients recover from addiction.

Location: Addiction specialists are divided on whether it’s a good idea to stay close to home or travel for rehab. Nearby facilities, within a two-hour drive, are more convenient and may be necessary for those who want their family to be a part of treatment. However, it also improves treatment outcome when you travel, because the separation from loved ones helps you focus better.

Cost of rehab: This is probably the biggest factor that determines where most people end up receiving treatment. The cost of treatment varies, but you have many options, so you’ll always find a rehab centre within your budget.
