The Pros and Cons of Private Rehab

Seeking professional help in a private rehab for your addiction definitely has more pros than cons. One of these pros is having access to highly qualified addiction specialists to care for your condition, as well as all the necessary resources to make your recovery as comfortable and effective as possible.

Other benefits you are guaranteed of when your addiction is treated in a private rehab, like ours, include:

  • Personalised treatment: Private rehabs take an individualised approach to treating patients, by tailoring addiction treatment to meet the needs of each individual patient. This is better than a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment, that may overlook certain aspects of a patient’s condition.
  • Medically assisted detox: In a private rehab, you will be provided a medically assisted detox to help cleanse your system of the substance of abuse faster, as well as significantly minimising your withdrawal symptoms. It is far more effective, and safer, than trying to detox on your own.
  • Immediate admission: With most private rehabs, including ours, there are no delays in the admission process, and there are no waiting lists. This means you can begin receiving treatment as soon as you are ready.
  • 24/7 care: Round the clock nursing care is provided in a private rehab, to monitor changes in the patient’s health and comfort, so that necessary care or treatment modifications can be promptly made.
  • Conducive and comfortable environment for recovery: To ensure your recovery process isn’t interrupted or derailed, you will be provided care in a controlled environment, free of the stressors and triggers that normally influence you to abuse drugs. You will be provided the necessary comforts, so that you can stay focused solely on your recovery.
  • Support groups and aftercare services: Private rehabs utilise support groups to keep patients motivated towards seeking long term sobriety. Necessary support can still be provided after a patient has been discharged through aftercare services.
  • Privacy and confidentiality: Your personal information and communications with the private rehab facility will be protected, so that your treatment records will be kept out of the reach of the public.

But, on the downside, addiction treatment in a private rehab is considered by some to be more costly than they can afford. For these individuals, there are other more affordable options that we can help them with.

Free/NHS Addiction Treatment Options in East Sussex

For people who are unable to afford the cost of private rehab, the free option of NHS addiction treatment is available. This option can be accessed in your local community, regardless of if it is in Wealden, Eastbourne, or anywhere else in East Sussex.
You can access NHS addiction treatment through a referral from your GP. In some scenarios, you can also access this type of service through a self-referral. Addiction treatment options typically offered through the NHS include addiction counselling, access to a local mental health team, or access to local drug and alcohol services.

However, when receiving addiction treatment through the NHS, you have very little control over the quality of treatment provided. That is, the quality of addiction treatment provided to you is typically determined completely by the NHS. Also, you may not have access to actual addiction specialists and will instead be cared for by general practitioners. You might also have to visit different facilities for different aspects of your treatment.

There’s also the disadvantage of having to be on a waiting list before actually receiving addiction treatment through the NHS. This waiting list implies that, when going through the NHS, you will likely be unable to receive immediate addiction treatment, and will instead have to wait your turn. How long you have to wait is usually determined by the level of demand for NHS addiction treatment in your area at the time.

How to Choose a Recovery Programme

An ideal recovery programme will significantly facilitate your healing process, and ensure you make a full and safe recovery from addiction. In order to select a recovery programme in East Sussex that can deliver the results you desire, you need to take the following into consideration:

  • Is the cost of the treatment programme within your budget?

  • Will insurance cover the programme’s cost?
