How To Get Addiction Treatment In Newton Mearns

Addiction is a disease, and it’s tough to stop without help from addiction specialists and doctors. If you’re struggling with addiction, you may have tried to quit drinking or drugs on your own but failed. You need professional support and often term medication to help your body adjust.

Never try to quit drinking alcohol suddenly. If you’ve had a long-term addiction and are used to drinking large amounts, going ‘cold turkey’ can create potentially dangerous withdrawal symptoms. If you want to quit drinking or drugs, doing it as part of a controlled detox in a rehab centre is best.

Visit your GP in Newton Mearns if you need help with an addiction, as they refer you to a local NHS treatment service. If you’re accepted into the service, you’ll be an outpatient. You will visit a treatment centre during the day, returning home at night.

Your GP can also signpost you to local support groups such as AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) or NA (Narcotics Anonymous.) These types of support groups follow the 12 Step recovery model, and the approach has helped millions of people worldwide to live drug and alcohol-free lives.

Another option is to seek private drug and alcohol treatment at a rehab centre run by addiction specialists. Private rehab centres aren’t free like the NHS but offer a highly specialised service. Costs cover residential care, meals, intensive counselling, medical treatments and aftercare support.

Nova Recovery runs a long-established rehab centre in Newton Mearns, and we’ve treated thousands of people throughout Scotland.

 

Alcohol Rehab Near Newton Mearns

What are the benefits of starting residential drug and alcohol rehab?

• You’ll get round-the-clock support from qualified, medically trained staff. Coming off alcohol or drugs is tough, so you’ll need help every step of the way. Our team consists of doctors, nurses, addiction specialists, counsellors and support staff.
• A controlled, medically supervised detox. When you enter rehab, you’ll complete detoxification to rid your body of drugs or alcohol. Our staff will monitor you and give you medicine to help ease any withdrawal symptoms.
• A supportive community. The type of people who enter rehab is like you, people who want to regain control of their lives and rid themselves of addiction. You’ll attend daily support groups and share your struggles and aspirations with others. You’ll find strength and inspiration in each other and learn new ways of living.
• Most patients stay at the centre for anything from a few weeks to three months, but the average is around a month. Completing your treatment away from home means you won’t be tempted to drink; you’ll be away from familiar drinking triggers and destructive routines.
• Quitting drugs or alcohol is challenging, and you need to be fully focused if you want it to be a success. With residential rehab, you don’t have to worry about cooking, cleaning or any mundane tasks that come with running a home. We provide all your meals and offer a schedule of therapeutic and relaxing activities to help you switch off and focus on your recovery.

Is Rehab Expensive?

Yes. Private rehab can be expensive. But for many people, it’s their best chance of recovery. Private rehab is costly for a few reasons.

Firstly, staff. The best rehab clinics employ highly qualified professionals with specialist addiction and mental health knowledge. Doctors, nurses and addiction experts work with every patient to help them recover.

You’ll likely have counselling sessions most days. If you compare the average cost of an hourly private counselling session at £60 per hour, residential rehab is excellent value for money.

Therapeutic activities such as meditation, reiki and fitness sessions are included in the cost. If you paid for these individually, it would be very expensive, but you can attend as many sessions as you want in rehab. All meals are included, cooked by an in-house chef, as well as cleaning, heating and a year of free aftercare.

If you’re worried about the cost of rehab, try reaching out to family and friends for help. In our experience, loved ones often contribute to rehab costs as they want nothing more than to see you better.

Make sure to discuss your budget with our admissions team. They’ll work with you to find a suitable treatment plan that you can afford.

 

Do Many People Go To Rehab In Scotland?

Many people go to rehab in Scotland, but the official statistics are unclear. Deaths through alcohol in Scotland are at their highest level in 10 years. Statistics show that in 2020, 1190 people died in Scotland due to alcohol abuse.

In 2017 and 2018, Scottish hospitals reported 35,499 alcohol-related inpatient stays. This highlights the volume of people in Scotland who could benefit from alcohol rehab.

 

What Happens After I Have Finished Rehab?

When the time comes to leave rehab, people tend to feel daunted but optimistic about the future. Some patients worry they’ll slip back into drug or alcohol addiction, but our aftercare package is designed to prevent a relapse and to assist with your long-term recovery

Our aftercare package includes individual counselling, support groups, family therapy and a 24-hour helpline, so you can call us whenever you need extra support and motivation.
