Alcohol and drugs are challenging to withdraw from due to their addictive makeup and the effects that they cause. For someone who’s already abusing either, withdrawal can be even harder as consumption is normalised and as both are high-exposure substances. As illicit, legal and prescription drugs positively reinforce feelings, users can begin to tolerate the lows, masking over an addiction.
Once drugs and alcohol are abused, it is common to develop a tolerance and it’s normal to experience physical and psychological changes. As an addiction advances, it will become harder and harder to quit, due to such changes.
Withdrawing, quitting, and getting better is possible with professional and medical help. Offered through various addiction treatments and therapies, the body and brain can be restored whilst reducing personal tolerances and cravings.
High-quality, evidence-based and time sensitive treatment can be accessed via private rehab. Treatment can also be funded on the NHS as outpatient therapy. Yet as delays are expected it can be tough to urgently quit on drugs and alcohol.

Addiction treatment help
Without intervention, and professional addiction treatment, drug and alcohol problems are categorised as high risk for relapse. This is partly due to the internal and external changes which take place, which make it difficult for a user to fully break away from the effects of consumption.
Many different drug types are also normalised and promoted on a mass scale, for example, alcohol is accessible in so many different places. Attempting to ignore influential stimuli, to remain on track, whilst situated in accepting environments can be testing.
Managing personal triggers and external changes is however possible through professional addiction treatment. Offered through private rehab, a range of treatments and therapies can be worked through to withdraw and regain control. The ideal environment will also be delivered, to feel safe, secure, and distanced away from drugs and alcohol.
Via a CQC drug and alcohol rehab in Alford, comprehensive addiction treatment can be accessed. Addiction treatment help will in fact be personalised to accommodate your needs and circumstances.
How does rehab work?
Rehab is a professional service which follows a bespoke approach by bringing together evidence-based, holistic, and mental health treatments. Safe and effective addiction treatments are recommended to each client through rehab, making sure that services are catered to individual needs.
The entire rehab process is led by a highly skilled and qualified team of addiction, mental health, and nursing experts. Around the clock support is expected, offering reassuring standards of CQC care and compassion.
At Nova Recovery, our private rehab clinic is intimate and comfortable, yet is still safe and clinical. By opting for residential treatment, rehab acts as a safe space, an escape from drug and alcohol exposure, and as a meeting point for support networks.
Via a private drug and alcohol rehab in Alford, a personal treatment programme will be ready for you to start post-admission. Through residential treatment, a 28-day treatment plan can be worked through with full support and with progress in mind.
A wide range of treatment options can also be completed and funded on the NHS, recognised as outpatient therapy. Yet due to expected delays and waiting lists, it can be difficult to commit, get started and remain on track through addiction recovery.
It is important to weigh up your drug and alcohol rehabilitation options, to find the most suitable. Yet at Nova Recovery, we can indefinitely help you by providing the most beneficial and suitable treatment plan for your needs and circumstances.
What happens during drug and alcohol rehab?
Drug and alcohol rehab is broken into some necessary steps and some bespoke steps. The necessary steps work to promote withdrawal, rebuild and long-term recovery. The bespoke steps work to improve quality of life, wellbeing, and mental health. A wide range of addiction treatments and therapies will fill and elevate each step of the rehab process.
Prior to starting rehab, assessments and one-to-one observations will be made. From here, whilst working alongside a dedicated team, the most effective treatments can be worked through via a 28-day inpatient rehab programme.
Detoxification will most likely be the first treatment which motivates the initial step of rehab. This step focuses on physical withdrawal from drugs and alcohol. Via a drug and alcohol rehab in Alford, the most suitable environment will be provided, to comfortably work through withdrawal symptoms. A medically assisted service will be involved, including replacement therapies and medications to secure safe detoxification.
Addiction therapy will be the next step of rehab, which is recommended to understand and regulate emotions and outlooks. Our sessions aim to improve mental health, boost awareness, and also support loved ones through addiction recovery. Family therapy, group therapy and one-to-one therapy sessions are arrangeable.
Planning is the final step, which offers the tools and preparations to remain on track and aim for long-term recovery. Our treatment programmes focus on planning by implementing relapse prevention sessions, education, and aftercare. Goal setting will also be important, as will the chance to make some positive changes, to carry forward on a post-rehab basis.
Throughout addiction recovery, bespoke sessions will be included to address individual symptoms, responses, and triggers of substance abuse. Our treatment programmes follow a holistic approach here at Nova Recovery to increase the likelihood and comfort of recovery. Mental health services, wellbeing management and holistic therapies can all be encountered.

How long is rehab?
By checking into private rehab, the average residential treatment programme lasts 4 weeks. Across a 28-day timeframe, essential and bespoke steps can be worked through. For some clients, longer treatment plans will be formed to address and work through further habits or health problems. Aftercare in Alford will be recommended for all of our clients, available for free for 12 months post-rehab.
Outpatient therapy will offer a different recovery process, instead operating at a slower pace. Due to delays and waiting lists, along with the flexibility of treatment, plans can take up to 6 months to complete.
Cost of rehab programmes
The cost of private rehab can range from £3,000 to £10,000+, all depending on personal needs and selections. Location, programme length, available treatments, and specialisms of care can all increase the cost of rehab.
Private rehab programmes are flexible and can be worked around personal budgets. With that, selecting a drug and alcohol rehab in Alford can be an affordable option.
Alternatively, NHS funded treatment can be accessed. Yet due to delays and high-risk situations, our clients instead prefer the reassuring nature of private rehab through our recovery hospital.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to bring to rehab?
You should only bring the essentials when you come to rehab. Enough clothes to last for the duration of your stay (laundry will be done for you), toiletries, prescribed medication, a book. Anything electronic like a laptop or tablet isn’t advised and will probably be locked away for the duration. Rehabilitation is about getting away from the distractions of the outside world to focus on getting better.
How long does rehab last?
A typical programme with us at Nova Recovery usually takes around 28 days – that programme includes drug or alcohol detoxification. After this period, you will be physically sober and hopefully, feel ready to return to your normal life.
Some people can afford to stay in rehab longer and programmes can run up to 12 weeks in some facilities. What is important is that you pick the programme that suits your circumstances and recovery goals.
How soon after rehab can I return to normal life?
Once you’ve been discharged from rehab, there’s a strong chance that you will be free from drugs and alcohol. Yet in order to remain sober and to develop a lifestyle that supports your new intentions, you will have to make the transition period at a slow pace.
Small yet impactful milestones will be dotted across the transition period. Each week, a sense of normality will return. Aftercare services will help you throughout the process, to adjust and to opt for sustainable change.
You should expect to feel better, post-rehab. Yet you’ll also need to continue your efforts back home in Alford.
