Alcohol Addiction Treatment Clinics London & Essex

Expert Advice and Alcohol Rehabilitation

Step by Step Recovery alcohol rehab clinics in Essex and London provide supervised medical detoxes and personalised alcohol rehabilitation programmes. Our high staff-to-client ratios and compassionate, multidisciplinary team combine extensive clinical experience with a real understanding of addiction. 

Generally, when you first begin your alcohol rehab, you will receive a medically assisted detox to help reduce any unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Once this is complete, and you are no longer physically addicted to alcohol, your psychological addiction will be addressed with a wide range of therapy, one-to-one counselling and recreational activities. Our caring team of addiction treatment staff will ensure you are fully involved with your addiction treatment and rehabilitation journey during your rehab for alcohol addiction. 

Our private residential drug and alcohol rehab clinic is open 365 days a year to provide help with alcohol abuse when you need it. Our philosophy is to ensure you fully recover from addiction, with access to in-person addiction aftercare and free lifetime support.

What Types of Alcohol Rehab Are Available?

Alcohol rehab can be provided in outpatient clinics or inpatient residential rehab centres. The choice of where to engage in addiction treatment largely depends on your circumstances. When your life responsibilities make it impossible to commit to residential rehab, outpatient addiction treatment clinics provide more flexibility over how and when you receive treatment. 

Both outpatient and residential alcohol rehab programmes can be successful, although each type has specific disadvantages and advantages. Below we will outline the main things you need to consider before deciding which type of alcohol rehab programme is best suited to your needs.

Outpatient Alcohol Rehab

Even if you are not sure that you have a drinking problem, you should never try to give up drinking alone. Going cold turkey can be extremely dangerous and may even result in death. Outpatient alcohol rehabilitation provides essential medical support during your alcohol detox and gives you a much higher chance of remaining addiction free.

Outpatient rehab programmes can provide the following:

  1. Structured full-day alcohol rehab treatment programmes with medical support during your alcohol detox.
  2. Alcohol treatment and therapy spread out, usually over three to six months, although it can continue for longer if required.

Inpatient Alcohol Rehab

Inpatient residential alcohol rehab at Step by Step Recovery provides 24-hour medical supervision and intensive therapy for alcohol addiction. Residential alcohol rehabilitation removes the temptation to drink alcohol and allows you to focus fully on your recovery without being at risk of a relapse.

You will normally attend an inpatient alcohol rehab centre for 28 days, although you can stay longer if you need to. During this time, you will normally be able to remain in contact with friends and family and have visitors.

Step by Step Recovery residential alcohol rehab programmes includes:

  • One-to-one consultation with an addiction specialist to arrange your bespoke alcohol addiction and treatment plan
  • A medically assisted alcohol detox in London or an alcohol detox in Essex medication, if required, to reduce withdrawal symptoms
  • Structured days with therapy sessions and recreational activities
  • All meals — with dietary needs catered for
  • In-house weekly group aftercare support sessions.

FAQs

Alcohol rehab treatment works by treating both physical and psychological addiction to alcohol. Typically, treatment will begin with a medically supervised detox followed by therapy and recreational activities to help you develop new coping skills and behaviours.

The cost of treatment will vary depending on how long your detox and treatment program takes to complete. Every client’s needs are different, but we remain transparent regarding the costs of our alcohol rehabilitation treatment. During your initial inquiry, our empathetic and understanding addiction admission team will talk you through all of your addiction treatment options and let you know what the cost of treatment will be.

Alcohol rehab normally lasts four weeks; however, some people choose to remain in alcohol rehab for up to six months. The time your treatment requires will depend on the severity of your addiction. If you are suffering from severe alcohol dependence may need a longer detox period than someone with a milder form of alcohol dependence.

Another factor that will impact the length of time you spend in alcohol rehab also depends on how well you respond to treatment. Some people may need a longer period of therapy to ensure that they can maintain their sobriety in the long term. Others may be able to leave rehab after a shorter period, provided they have a strong support network in place and are committed to staying sober.

If you’re considering rehab for alcohol addiction, it’s crucial to speak to an addiction treatment professional. You will need to be open and honest about your addiction and circumstances to receive accurate advice about how long your addiction treatment is likely to last.

Alcohol rehab can be a difficult and emotional process, but it is also an incredibly important step for those struggling with alcoholism. Aftercare programmes are offered to all clients who complete 28 days of residential alcohol rehab to help them adjust to normal daily life when they leave rehab and reduce the risk of relapsing.

Addiction aftercare programmes provide a supportive environment where people can share their experiences and learn from one another. They will often include group or individual counselling sessions, alumni events and activities, as well as relapse prevention work. For some people, attending aftercare programmes may be the key to maintaining their sobriety in the long term. In addition to offering practical advice on how to deal with triggers and cravings, alcohol rehab aftercare can support you with your relationships and life goals.

If you are struggling with alcoholism, alcohol rehab may be the first step on your journey to recovery. Remember, recovery is an ongoing journey, not a destination, so take it one day at a time.

Some medical and health insurance companies do cover alcohol rehab treatment, but this is something you would have to check with your individual insurance provider.

When you’re physically and mentally dependent on alcohol, it becomes a permanent obsession that affects all aspects of your life. But, if you are a functioning alcoholic, it can be hard to know when your drinking has become a problem. 

For some people, alcohol rehab is the only way to get their life back on track. If you’re unsure whether you need alcohol treatment, there are some signs to look out for: 

  • Do you drink more than you used to? 
  • Are you unable to control how much you drink once you start? 
  • Do you miss work or school because of hangovers? 
  • Do you drink in secret or lie about your drinking habits?
  • Do you have alcohol cravings when you haven’t had a drink in a while?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it’s time to seek help. Alcohol rehab can provide the structure and support you need to break free from your addiction and start living a sober, healthy life.

As well as medically supervised detox and treatment programmes tailored to suit each individual, Step By Step Recovery offers clients a range of holistic therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), counselling (group and one-to-one), and holistic treatments such as meditation and yoga. You will also have a wide range of tasty and nutritious meals cooked three times a day by our very own in-house chefs.

Receiving alcohol rehab treatment can provide countless benefits for those struggling with addiction. For many people, alcohol rehab is the first step on the road to recovery. It can be a difficult decision to seek help, but addiction treatment at residential rehab offers a safe and supportive environment in which to begin your journey.

Alcohol rehab provides 24-hour care, with trained professionals on hand to help you if you need support. There are many forms of detox treatments available through charities and councils; however, none of these outpatient addiction treatments can compare to the safe environment that inpatient residential alcohol rehab provides.

Additionally, bespoke addiction treatment programmes are designed to meet your individual needs. Attending residential alcohol rehab gives you access to the most effective care possible and the best chance of successful, long-lasting recovery. If you are struggling with alcohol addiction, please don’t hesitate to reach out for help. Alcohol rehab could be the key to turning your life around.

Residential (inpatient) alcohol rehab is considered to be the most effective form of alcohol treatment because you are removed from all triggers and are not able to access alcohol. Staying at a residential rehab centre gives you the very best chance to escape the stresses of everyday life and focus solely on your recovery.
