Why Choose Rehab in Bristol?

Bristol is an excellent place to enter rehab. It is peaceful with picturesque surroundings, with coast, countryside and a beautiful harbour.

If you live in Bristol or nearby, there is no reason to travel out of the area for drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Our rehab centres in Bristol offer world-class standards of care with proven, evidence-based treatments.

Bristol has plenty to see and our rehab centres host weekly excursions if the weather is pleasant. Bristol Zoo Gardens and Bristol Museum & Art Gallery are favourites of ours. They offer a great day out, which we’re sure you’ll enjoy.

Inpatient & Outpatient Rehab in Bristol

You can undergo a recovery programme as an inpatient or outpatient. Which is best for you depends on a range of factors which we will discuss below.

Inpatient rehab

As an inpatient your detox will be supervised in clinic accommodation. You will be looked after by nurses and have your meals, washing and ironing taken care of. You will also take part in a comprehensive recovery programme that incorporates evidence-based therapies.

This type of rehab has the highest success rate and is best for alcohol addiction treatment or treatment for street drugs.

Outpatient rehab

As an outpatient your detox will take place at home. You will need someone to look after you during your home detox unless you are able to look after yourself. If you require therapy, this will be provided out of clinic.

This type of rehab may be suitable if you have a mild addiction, need a prescription drug detox, or if inpatient care isn’t economical.

Treatments and services

The treatments and services we offer are based on the idea that for you to achieve long-term abstinence, we have to improve your state of mind, fitness and health. In other words, we need to build a stronger version of you. 

We offer a variety of therapies to focus on your mental health, including:

• Guided self help
• Counselling
• Equine therapy
• Talking therapies
• Behavioural therapies
• Social and group therapies

In terms of your physical health, your rehabilitation in Bristol will have the input of a fitness expert and a dietician. You will eat healthily and consume the sustenance you need to rebuild your body after months and years of substance abuse.

What Does Rehab Involve?

Entering rehab will take you on a journey of self-discovery and healing. You will stay in luxurious accommodation at our clinic and enjoy a break away from your normal social environment. This is the safest place for your detox and it will make sure we have the time we need to resolve your addiction.

Your recovery programme will include a medicated detox and therapy. The therapy you undergo depends on your circumstances. Here’s what you need to know about detoxing and therapy:

Detoxing

Detoxification involves abstaining from the substances you are addicted to. Whether you undergo a drug or alcohol detox, your symptoms will be managed with medication and our nurses will be available 24/7 to look after you.

Although this process is hard going, the symptoms are manageable so long as you receive the medical support you need. We don’t recommend trying to detox without help because your withdrawal symptoms will become unmanageable.

Therapy

Therapy will form an important part of your rehab programme. It is likely you will take part in behavioural therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), but you may also benefit from guided self-help, talking therapies and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.

This is also a great opportunity for our staff to resolve any associated mental health problems like anxiety, depression, PTSD and OCD. These often act as triggers, so it will be worth getting help while in our care.

Continued abstinence

After you graduate from clinical care, your rehabilitation will continue as an outpatient. You will stay on withdrawal medication for a few months, which you will be weaned off gradually until your addiction is under control.

As part of your rehabilitation, we will put in place a support network and put you in touch with a local addiction support group. Your Bristol rehab clinic will also be available to provide advice and guidance should you need it.

Call us on 0800 118 2892 to start your journey to drug or alcohol independence. Our helpful people are always here to provide free advice.
