Scotland Drug & Alcohol Rehab Clinics

Choosing A Rehab Clinic

When choosing a rehab clinic in Scotland, here are a few things you should take into consideration:

• A location that suits you
• Inpatient and outpatient therapies
• Comfortable facilities
• A wide support network
• Affordability for your financial situation
• Highly-trained professionals
• Experience of other disorders, such as PTSD, to suit your needs
• A proven track record of success for treating the addictions you have.

Inpatient & Outpatient Rehab in Scotland

Perhaps the most important decision in regards to your recovery is the type of care you will receive. There are two types: inpatient care and outpatient care. The type which is best for you depends on two factors:

• Your needs
• Your budget

Inpatient

The highest standard of care is provided to inpatients. This is where the patient stays in rehab accommodation with no contact with the outside world, except for visitors, if this is permitted.

This is the best type of rehab for those with lifelong and strong habits, and those whose social environment back home promotes substance abuse. In this case, removing the patient from this environment is essential for success.

Outpatient

Outpatient care is the most affordable type of rehab because the patient goes through a home alcohol detox or drug detox. Because of this, the failure rate is higher, and the risk of relapse during drug rehab is greater. However, the patient will still receive a good support network. This will give them access to the same professionals as an inpatient (although with less availability), including access to:

• A Dedicated GP
• Consultant psychiatrist
• Clinical psychologist
• Psychotherapists
• Wellbeing experts
• BACP accredited nurses

In the case of both inpatients and outpatients undergoing rehab in Scotland, a bespoke rehab programme will be created regardless of the patient’s chosen clinic.

Also, with our Scotland rehab clinics, all patients receive free aftercare for one year. This is just one of the ways we go the extra mile for our patients

What Does Rehab Involve?

Drug and alcohol rehab in Scotland isn’t an easy process, but you aren’t the first person to go through it and you certainly won’t be the last.

In simplistic form, the rehab process looks like this:

Understanding your addiction and how it affects your life is essential so the correct support network can be put in place for you. This will be covered in the initial consultation phase of the process. We know discussing this may be difficult, but it’s necessary.

The most difficult stage of rehab is the detox stage, which in the case of inpatient rehabilitation, takes place in an environment where the consumption of your chosen drug is impossible. You will be given prescribed medications to help with the withdrawal symptoms, and the detox period can take up to a month.

During and after the drug detox period, you will practice Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with a qualified therapist and undergo additional therapies to help change your behaviour and reaction towards drugs or alcohol. This is an essential part of rehab because it reduces your urge to use again and improves your mindset.
