Why Choose St Albans for Rehab?

St Albans might just be the best connected city in London. It’s right on the northern commuter belt and is a beautiful place to enter rehab, with historic buildings to explore like the Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Alban and the wonderful Verulamium Park, which has over 100-acres of greenery to enjoy.

Whether you need to undergo alcohol treatment in St Albans or treatment for drug addiction, our clinics specialise in helping people just like you beat addiction, stay substance free and change their lives for the better.

Your rehabilitation in St Albans will be productive, fulfilling, and enjoyable – we believe rehab should be a time you can look back on fondly, and the quality of our rehab clinics plays a lead role in ensuring this.

At our clinics, you will be helped by:

You will also have access to a personal trainer and dietician to help you stay (or get) into tip top shape for when you reintegrate into society.

If you stay in clinic accommodation, you will have a private bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and freedom to explore our grounds. This will make your rehabilitation in St Albans feel more like a break than rehab.

Treatments and services

Your personalised rehab programme will include a detox, therapy, counselling, and wellbeing therapies to help you overcome your addiction. The treatments available to you will depend on the extent and type of addiction you have.

Detox programme

Your detox programme will be managed with medication and our team of nurses will be available to provide support when needed.

Sleeping programmes

If you struggle to sleep, this will affect your rehab schedule, so we will create a sleep programme to help you rest and get the sleep you need.

Safety from local triggers

Staying in the care of one of our clinics means you will be away from the social triggers that plague you during your everyday life.

Holistic services

As part of your rehab in St Albans, you will have access to therapies like massage, aromatherapy, and meditation to help purify your mind, body, and soul.

Therapy and counselling

We will create a comprehensive therapy strategy for your recovery, with therapy introduced during your detox and continuing afterwards.

What Does Rehab Involve?

When you enter rehab in St Albans with our clinics, you can expect:

• A professional and confidential service
• A free clinical assessment
• A personalised rehab programme
• A medically-managed detox
• Family support and mentoring
• One-to-one and group therapy sessions
• Treatment for associated mental health problems

You will also have access to a personal trainer and take part in a fun, productive activity schedule to keep your mind and body active. You will leave our care far healthier than when you arrived. This is a promise.

Detox

The detox stage of rehab will cleanse your body of the substances you are addicted to so it can reset itself. This is the most controversial stage of rehab for good reason – you will experience intense withdrawal symptoms that will be difficult to control. However, we will be there to help you get through them.

You will be prescribed withdrawal medication to ease your symptoms and take part in therapies that keep you productive. You will also be on a nutritious diet and have access to a personal trainer to get you fit and healthy. Although it may be difficult, your detox in St Albans will be fulfilling. We’ll make sure of it.

If you are an outpatient, you will undergo a home detox. This can be effective for milder addictions or those who are at low risk of relapse.

Therapy and counselling

You will be introduced to therapy during your detox to address the behavioural and social sides of addiction. This is also an opportunity for you to get help for any associated mental health issues you have.

Two therapies that are common are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). These have an excellent track record for helping people overcome addiction. They treat the behavioural side of addiction and can be extremely useful for living with anxiety, depression, OCD and PTSD.

Continued abstinence

Your time at your St Albans rehab clinic will purify your body, mind, and soul, giving you the best opportunity to heal and recover. After you leave our care, a new personal battle begins – continued abstinence (staying drug free).

We will put in place a high-quality support network to ensure that you can always talk to someone. You may also benefit from a sponsor, which we can arrange. All our patients also receive one years’ free aftercare. This includes regular check ups and additional therapy. We can also offer fast readmission, should you need it.

If you are ready to get help for your addiction, there is no better time than now to seek advice from our St Albans rehab clinics. Call us on 0800 118 2892 for a chat.
