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 rehab is the intensity of treatment, which is comprehensive and tailored to fit each patient. 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.

What Does Rehab Cost In London?

Standard rehab centres cost between £1,000 and £3k per week in London. This covers accommodation, therapy, detox, medication and aftercare. Luxury rehab programmes are exclusive and subsequently more expensive. They offer amenities you would usually find at a five-star resort, such as fine dining, saunas, massages, private workstations, animal therapy and music therapy.

NHS Addiction Treatment Options

There are many considerations to make when choosing where to get treatment. For individuals in whose choices are limited by funds, the NHS and some other charity organisations offer free and confidential drug and alcohol treatment.

Pros And Cons Of NHS Treatment

Pros

The biggest advantage of government-funded treatment is that it’s free. You’ll also receive support from local charities, councils and the NHS.

Treatment mostly occurs in groups or a community setting

There is minimal concern about protecting the privacy of patients

Treatment is not integrated like at a private rehab centre

Not recommended for long-term addicts or high-risk patients
