Free Rehab Advice Online: Your First Step to Recovery

As experienced addictions clinicians we understand the need for accurate information, which is why offering free rehab advice online is a priority for us. Making an informed choice is essential. Knowing what you need is as important as knowing what you don’t. We believe that free rehab advice online can empower you to make an informed choice.

Don’t break the bank

Keeping costs down can be an essential element of making a decision and knowing where you can get the right help is something we can help you with. Seeking free rehab advice online can be a helpful first step. Our platform prioritizes providing free rehab advice online to guide your initial steps towards recovery.

Free impartial advice from clinicians in the field

Our advice is free, confidential and impartial. While we work in the sector, it matters not to us where you go, just that you have the right information to make an informed decision, and that starts with free rehab advice online.

How Can I Get Advice On Rehab Online?

Getting advice on rehab is not like buying car insurance or booking a holiday. You need the advice of an addictions clinician so you know what you need and where you can get it.

When you are looking for advice online you know you need help. For most people, it is the first time they are in this position and while family and friends are well intentioned, it is unlikely they will know the right information to help you.

Reality of addiction

Words like “functioning alcoholic” and “rapid detox” are often mentioned when people email us (or call in). Images of Hollywood films and TV dramas come to mind when thinking about addiction treatment.

Don’t try DIY detox

Some people still think they can detox themselves at home without medical intervention.

Please don’t try this! Remember that getting proper guidance through free rehab advice online can prevent harmful self-treatment practices.

What Information Does Your Website Have?

Our website has substance and addictive behavior specific pages which give generic information.

In addition we add regular blog topics on all aspects of addiction, treatment, therapy, addiction, and recovery.

We discuss different methods of group therapy, aftercare, relapse prevention, amongst many other relevant topics.

If you email us we will be happy to offer free, confidential, and impartial advice in a return email. We won’t contact you again as we are an advice service.

Should you wish to call us, we don’t retain your phone number.

Feel free to call from a blocked line.

What Advice Can Your Addictions Clinicians Give?

While you are not our patient, we have the time to listen, in total confidence, and give you advice on what treatment you need and also what you don’t need.

After all, we work in the rehab sector so are very well aware of how it works and functions.

The information needed, in order to give you an honest appraisal of what treatment you need (and the cost) centers around:

• What drugs/alcohol you are using
• How much you are using a day
• How long you have been using
• Underlying medical conditions
• Prescribed medication
• Previous addiction treatment
• Addictive behaviors (porn/gambling/shopping etc)

We often get asked how long a detox will take.

The answer is: How long is a piece of string! It is not an exact science.

With alcohol it is a little more clear cut and depends on how many units, a day, you drink. With opioids and, especially, benzodiazepines it will take much longer.

Our clinicians can advise on how a detox would work for you and the likely medication that would be used.

Can You Advise On Where To Get Treatment?

Yes. Our experienced addictions clinicians work in private rehab centers as well as:

• Local authority commissioned services
• Prisons
• NHS GP shared care addictions services
• Private hospitals

While the clinician you speak to may be in a different part of the country, they have access to a weekly updated spreadsheet that has all the information they need to advise you on local services.

We use a Voice Over The Internet Platform app which means that when you call, whomever is free, will take your call.

Emails are answered in quick time, offering quick access to free rehab advice online to ensure you have the support you need.

Is Advice Confidential?

Yes. We can not discuss your enquiry with anyone, even your GP, unless you give explicit consent.

While we always advise you involve your GP, we understand why, for some, this might be difficult.

A medical summary is available from your reception team at the surgery using your electronic medical records (modern day NHS systems allow this to be produced with a few keystrokes).

Reception teams produce these for a variety of reasons: Medical insurance, accident claims. They are not allowed to ask what it is for.

We are registered with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) and only signpost to centres registered with the Care Quality Commission, which is a legal requirement.

The next steps: Getting help

Call and speak with an experienced addictions clinician on any aspect of addiction including: Detox, rehab, therapy, relapse prevention and aftercare.

They can advise you on treatment plans, treatment options, locations, costs and availability.

Consultations and referrals are free.
