Finding Local Alcohol And Drug Rehab Treatment near Shropshire

It can be difficult for an individual with addiction issues to realise that they need help. Sometimes, it is only when the individual has reached a life or death situation that help is finally sought. If you are suffering from addiction, it is imperative that you wait no longer to visit your local GP or health worker. Residents of the county of Shropshire, in Northwest England, have access to several addiction services provided by the County Council. These services are offered by agencies commissioned by the Council and are accessible to all residents for free. Once you visit your GP, a referral to these agencies can be made. Alternatively, you can drop in by yourself for an assessment. Treatment options are designed to fit your needs, and severe cases are usually referred to residential rehabilitation centres.

How to Choose a Recovery Programme

There are many factors to consider when choosing a recovery programme. After your initial assessment, you will be advised on the type of treatment that best fits you. Outpatient treatment requires attending regular sessions while your daily life, including school or work, continues as usual. Inpatient treatment requires you to move into a residential facility for the duration of your recovery programme. Inpatient treatment is usually for those with a severe addiction, though if you have the resources, you may check into private rehab regardless of the severity of your addiction. The treatment method should also be taken into consideration. The traditional 12-step method practised by many treatment centres provides a more spiritual approach to recovery. Other alternatives include medical-based rehabilitation and holistic therapy. Most rehabs offer a combination of those methods, and will design a programme based on your needs and personal preferences. Another thing to consider is location. You may seek a rehab or treatment centre close to your comfort zone, or you may choose an isolated location to let go of your normal routine, and focus completely on your recovery. Discuss your preferences with your local GP or health worker, in order to be referred to a recovery programme matching your preferences.
