Why Choose Rehab in Chester?

Chester is the best-preserved walled city in England. It’s considered one of the prettiest cities in Europe and is a great place to enter rehab because of the quality of the clinics and its closeness to Wales, opening it up to more people.

With our rehab clinics in Chester, you will be cared for by our experienced team of BACP accredited nurses, clinical workers, therapists and doctors. We always have staff available and can provide 24/7 care for patients in need of supervision.

As part of your recovery programme you will receive:

• A supervised detox
• Behavioural therapy
• Counselling
• Support work to help you rebuild your life

Our clinics also have:

• Dieticians
• Nutritionists
• Personal trainers
• Wellbeing experts

Whether you receive alcohol or drug treatment, we will make sure you get the highest standards of care. Your recovery programme will incorporate the treatments we deem necessary to help you beat your addiction.

Outpatient & Inpatient Programmes

You could be either an inpatient or an outpatient at our clinics.

The key difference is inpatients stay in clinic accommodation during their detox, while outpatients stay at home. Outpatient programmes are cheaper because of this, but they are also less comprehensive and less successful.

Inpatient rehab

As an inpatient, you will receive 24/7 care from our rehab team and undergo a closely monitored detox in clinic accommodation. 

This type of rehab is most suitable for patients who have a high risk of relapse. It provides a break away from normal life, so it is also the best choice for patients who need to get away from a destructive environment. 

Outpatient rehab

As an outpatient, you will undergo a home detox. Your detox will be managed with medication, but your access to our rehab team will be limited.

This type of rehab is cheaper than inpatient rehab, but the risk of relapse is far greater. Because of this, it isn’t suitable for high risk patients.

If you are unsure which type of drug rehabilitation in Chester is best for you, you can get advice by speaking with one of our helpful advisors – call us on 0800 118 2892.

Facilities

Your time with us will be comfortable and relaxing.

All our patients have their own private space with a bedroom and en-suite bathroom. Our clinics also have open function rooms where you are welcome any time to play games and watch TV with other patients. 

Our clinics are set into their own private grounds which you will be free to explore, and you will take part in a productive activity schedule.

We host daily walks and cycling sessions, and if the weather’s nice, we have picnics outside on the lawn. You will have the freedom to do what you like, and your recovery programme will include creative tasks like painting and crafts to ease your mind.

By focusing on your mind, body and soul, you will heal better and your rehabilitation is more likely to have long-term success.

What Does Rehab Involve?

There are three main stages of rehab:

1. Detoxing
2. Therapy
3. Continued abstinence

The first stages, detoxing and therapy, overlap each other slightly, with therapy introduced while you are in the care of your Chester rehab clinic.

No matter your addiction, the rehab process will challenge you as a person physically and mentally, but we will be there to support you and give you the help you need. Our aim is for you to graduate from our care as a healthier person.

Detoxing

Your detox will be supervised and managed with medication to ease your withdrawal symptoms. You will also take part in activities like walks, cycling, board games and group sports to take your mind off withdrawal.

This is the most difficult stage of rehab because your body will go through intense withdrawal symptoms. The symptoms will get worse over a few weeks, but they will begin to ease as you hit the 3 to 4 week mark. This is when your detox will get a little easier, helping you focus on healing.

Therapy

The two most common therapies associated with addiction are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). These have an excellent track record for helping people stay drug free with practical steps.

You will be introduced to therapy during your alcohol or drug detox in Chester. Therapy aims to treat the behavioural side of addiction. It’s an important aspect of recovery because detoxing alone is not enough to beat addiction for good.

Continued abstinence

After you graduate from clinical care, you will be ready to integrate back into society with the worst aspects of rehab behind you. However, the hard work isn’t over because you will still experience withdrawal symptoms and the urge to use.

To combat this, you may benefit from a sponsor or peer mentor, so you have someone to talk to while you start your new life. We will also put in place a support network for you to access whenever you need help.

With the help of our Chester rehab clinics, you can beat your addiction and set yourself up for a healthy, happy and fulfilling life.

We’re here to help you change your life when you’re ready. Call us on 0800 118 2892 to find out more about the rehab process. We’re here to help you, and all advice is 100% free and confidential. Let’s beat your addiction together.
