Private Rehab

Private rehabilitation facilities are independent treatment centres designed to provide a conducive environment for recovery, as well as effective, individualised treatment plans for people who want to kick their addiction. These rehabs mostly run intensive inpatient programmes that are streamlined to the needs of each individual patient. You’ll get 24/7 care from start to finish.

The major benefit of private rehab is the intensity of treatment, which is comprehensive and tailored to fit each patient. Private rehab centres are medical clinics, where you can receive treatment for physical and behavioural addictions. Treatment includes a thorough assessment to determine your specific treatment needs; detoxification to remove all harmful toxins from your system; psychotherapy to treat all psychological problems, and aftercare to help you maintain abstinence after rehab.

If your case of addiction is severe, and you’re afflicted with painful and discomforting withdrawal symptoms whenever you attempt to quit, it’s advised that you go through a private treatment facility for a personalised detox programme and holistic rehab, because these facilities are your best chance of getting a full recovery.

Pros And Cons Of Private Rehab

Same day intake: A great feature of private rehabs in Essex is immediate access to treatment. You could make arrangements for treatment and arrive at the rehab centre on the same day to begin that treatment.

Privacy: Rehab centres in Essex are secluded from the rest of the community. Security is top-notch, to ensure only approved personnel are allowed into the facility. Your details are sealed off to the media and non-medical personnel.

Comprehensive treatment: A cornerstone of private rehabs in Essex is the comprehensive treatment every patient receives. Treatment begins with an assessment to determine the quantity of drugs in your system, and to design a detox and recovery plan suited to you.

Round the clock support: You’re always surrounded by care professionals in an Essex rehab centre. You have access to medical care and support when you need it, reducing the occurrence of a medical emergency.

Peer support: A motivational boost at a rehab centre is the chance to build relationships with other addicts in recovery. The support you receive from them motivates you to achieve your recovery goals.

Aftercare support: A benefit of private rehabs in Essex that you won’t find in most public programmes is the access to detailed aftercare support, to help you maintain abstinence post-rehab.

Cons

  • Rehab is not cheap
  • Difficulty adjusting to a structured environment

NHS Addiction Treatment Options

NHS treatment in Essex is for any resident who needs drug and alcohol support.

In most cases, treatment begins with a visit to your local GP.

Pros and Cons of NHS Treatment

Pros

Wider access: As a government-funded programme, the NHS can reach more people than a private rehab. They operate from hubs, and offer outreach and drop-in services to ensure every resident of Essex can access drug and alcohol treatment.

Practical support: Most of the individuals who provide services are volunteers who’ve had a personal experience with addiction. They offer support to find housing, clear your debt, and access education, training, and employment.

Free treatment: There is no cost when accessing NHS treatment. If you need inpatient detox and rehabilitation, they refer you to a charity or specialist service working in partnership with the local council.

Cons

  • Lack of funding
  • No privacy
  • Group detox that doesn’t include an individualised treatment plan
  • Outdated facilities and techniques

Groups in Essex are either open or closed, but the goal is to help members maintain abstinence by sharing experiences, support, and motivating each other.
