Unsure of which residential rehab centre UK to go to?  

Making the right choice is essential to successfully get into recovery and to sustain abstinence after leaving treatment. There are many different centres, offering different treatment options from small, homely type environments to luxury high end establishments. Here at Findmearehab we can provide free clinician drug advice and as well as information on alcohol addiction recovery UK.  

12 step or SMART 

The most important thing is to get into treatment. Either treatment modality will benefit someone caught up in addiction: It really doesn’t matter which model you choose.  

How do centres differ?  

As with any residential provision, such as a hotel, there is a vast choice for clients seeking residential treatment from centres situated in towns and cities to those located in rural and semi-rural areas. Some are based around a group living ethos where those in treatment cook and clean for themselves and/or are assigned tasks within the group living environment where others provide a full-service restaurant provision with luxury three course meals, a small gym as well as adjunctive therapies such as drumming, reflexology, etc.  There are those where clients sleeping accommodation is separate from the main building whereas others have all services in one building. An emerging trend is for therapies to be delivered off site at a secondary location. This was borne out of COVID-19 where more space was required between clients when in group. 

Do I need bolt on therapies aside from groups?  

In short: No! There is no clinical evidence that any additional therapies, aside from the group therapy in a residential rehab centre, will provide any additional benefit: but neither will they do you any harm. As group therapy is mentally challenging, bolt on therapies can provide a chance to relax, especially art therapy.

My insurance company will only pay for certain centres, will this put me at a disadvantage?  

Absolutely not. Insurance companies have very rigorous due diligence procedures in place and only work with reputable centres. They negotiate preferential rates and while a client may need to travel slightly further afield there are no concerns over how to fund treatment.
