Why Choose Rehab in Watford?

Watford offers one of the highest standards of living in Southern England. It is home to Cassiobury Park and the Warner Bros. Studio.

For help with alcohol and drug abuse, Watford has several high-quality rehab clinics to choose from. Our rehab centres in Watford offer luxurious accommodation and excellent transport links to the rest of Hertfordshire.

Whether you need alcohol treatment or help with drugs, our team of rehab experts have the knowledge and understanding to treat your addiction. You will take part in a productive and fun recovery programme that combines a medicated detox with therapy to resolve your bad habits and the triggers that lead you to substance abuse.

Outpatient and Inpatient Programmes

You can undergo a recovery programme as an inpatient or outpatient.

Inpatient rehab

Inpatients undergo their alcohol or drug detox in the safe environment of their rehab clinic and stay there for at least several weeks.

This is the most comprehensive type of rehab, giving us the time we need to get to the source of your addiction so we can heal your body and mind together. It also pulls you out of your normal social environment, which could be a trigger for your substance abuse.

Outpatient rehab

Outpatients undergo a home detox. This type of rehabilitation is only recommended for mild addictions and patients who are at a low risk of relapse.

Therapy may or may not be needed with an outpatient programme. If it is, it will be provided outside the clinic, most usually in a private hospital. For a prescription drug detox or mild addictions, outpatient rehab could work.

Patients who are at a medium to high risk of relapse would really benefit from the more intensive recovery programme inpatient rehab offers.

What Does Rehab Involve?

When you enter rehab you will take part in a personalised recovery programme that focusses on the physical and psychological aspects of your addiction.

The physical side will be handled with a medicated detox while the psychological side will be handled with behavioural therapy and counselling.

A detox and therapy form the basis of most recovery programmes. Your rehab clinic will create your recovery programme following a clinical assessment.

Admission into rehab

Our Watford rehab clinics offer rapid admission or planned admission. Once admitted, you will undergo treatment initiation and meet your care team.

Detoxing

A detox requires you to abstain from alcohol or drugs. Your withdrawal symptoms will be managed with medication and we will take your mind off them with therapeutic activities like walking, cycling, sightseeing and arts and crafts.

Your detox will be difficult but manageable. Our nurses will be with you every step of the way to make sure your symptoms are under control. We will also adjust your care over time to make sure your programme reflects your needs.

Therapy

You may benefit from:

• Talking therapies
• Behavioural therapy
• Counselling
• Motivational interviews
• Interpersonal psychotherapy

There are several more therapies that are common in rehab. The most common therapies are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). These can help you overcome the habits and triggers that make you use drugs.

You will start therapy during your detox and you may also continue with therapy after you leave our care.

Continued abstinence

Your time in clinical care will come to an end eventually, and when it does, your addiction will be under control. However, our work isn’t done yet.

We will continue to support you during your rehab programme, with one years’ free aftercare and readmission if you start to relapse.

We will also put in place a support network for you to access at any point in the future. Your support network can also put you in touch with a sponsor or peer mentor, if you think you would benefit from the guidance of someone who has done it all before.
