When you are struggling with drug addiction, it can feel like everything is falling apart all at once. Your health can suffer, your relationships fall apart, and everything that you used to care about can slowly start to slip away. There are so many different drugs on British streets that are frighteningly easy to access, and all of them can be incredibly dangerous. But becoming dependent on drugs doesn’t mean you are beyond help. At Linwood House, we have met so many people who thought they couldn’t turn things around, but our drug addiction treatment programmes have helped them do just that.
What is the need for drug rehab?
Drug rehab matters because real recovery doesn’t just mean you stop taking drugs but start to understand why you ever did. While drug detox helps clear cocaine, heroin and meth from your body, it’s drug rehab that helps you unpack the emotions, habits and pain that drove your initial drug use and dependency.
A lot of people use drugs to get through things they don’t know how else to face. This could be trauma, pressure, grief or just feeling stuck in an unsatisfying life. Those underlying issues need time and space to heal and rehab treatment gives you that chance. With the right support through therapy and addiction counselling, you can learn to live without needing the escape that drugs once gave you.
How do I know if I need drug rehab?
Beginning drug rehab as early as you can always means the best chance of success. But it doesn’t matter if it takes a little time for you to reach out; what is important is that you get the help you need to heal. Here are some signs that you should seek professional drug addiction treatment today:
- You are constantly telling yourself, “This is the last time”, but it never is
- Your drug use is starting to damage your relationships, your job or your future.
- You’re using more drugs than you used to, but they barely do anything anymore.
- When you stop taking drugs, you suffer physically or emotionally.
- Finding and using drugs are constantly on your mind.
- The things that used to make you happy barely register anymore.
- People you trust have tried to talk to you about your drug use.
- You’re not being honest about how much you’re really using.
- Drugs have become your only way to feel okay, even for a little while.
Do any of these sound familiar? Then Linwood House’s drug rehab programme can help you start again.
Inpatient drug rehab vs outpatient drug rehab
You will generally have two paths for treatment: inpatient drug rehab or outpatient drug rehab. Inpatient drug rehab involves living at a centre like Linwood House full-time, while outpatient rehab means attending appointments but continuing to live at home.
Drug rehab at home can seem easier at first but recovery is hard work and when you’re still living with the same stress, access to drugs or unhelpful people, it can feel like trying to heal in the middle of a storm.
At Linwood House, we believe inpatient drug rehab gives you the best chance at a fresh start. At our residential centre, you will find stability, safety, and a daily routine focused entirely on recovery. Many of our team members have lived experience with addiction, and they’re here to guide you through the tough days and celebrate the good ones. It’s not always easy, but you will never be doing it alone.
What happens in drug rehab at Linwood House?
Our drug rehab programme is built around a mix of trusted methods including the 12-step model, evidence-based therapy and whole-person support. Some people stay for two weeks and others for a few months. It all depends on what feels right for you. Whatever the case, each day you spend with us is designed to gently guide you through recovery with structure, support, and compassion.
Each morning starts with breakfast together and then individual or group therapy. This is when you will start looking at the emotions, habits and past experiences that fuelled your drug use. You will also eat lunch and dinner with the other people in rehab and we also make time for rest and reflection.
You might join in on yoga therapy, take a peaceful walk, spend time in creative activities or just enjoy a chat over a cuppa. It’s a steady, balanced rhythm that gives your mind, body and spirit the care they need.
Just some of the brilliant therapies and programmes that make up our drug rehab programme include:
- Behavioural therapies
- Family support therapy
- Motivational interviewing
- Trauma-based therapy
- Yoga therapy
Beyond drug rehab – drug relapse prevention
Leaving rehab can feel exciting, but it can also be scary. And that’s okay! At Linwood House, we make sure you leave with a clear drug relapse prevention plan which you can lean on when things feel shaky. This plan is built around strategies that actually work in the real world, including:
Knowing what triggers you
Certain people, places or situations might make you want to use drugs again. Knowing what sets you off is key to avoiding those triggers or handling them in a healthier way.
Putting your tools into action
Drug rehab gives you a proven set of tools to cope with stress and emotions and navigate tough moments. We make sure you leave Linwood House equipped to use those tools whenever life gets bumpy.
Finding your people
Support is everything; staying close to your friends, family, counsellors and others in recovery can remind you that you’re not doing this alone.
Taking care of your physical health
The basics matter and eating decent meals, staying active and getting proper rest can all help level out your emotions and reduce the urge to use drugs again.
Aftercare with Linwood House
Once you have done the hard work of drug rehab, staying on track can still have its challenges and it’s something you will have to work on day by day. That is why Linwood House offers a free aftercare programme to support you in the first year after drug rehab. Our weekly group therapy sessions give you a safe space to talk things through, manage drug cravings and get critical support. These sessions are outpatient, so you can fit them around your daily routine as you settle back into everyday life.
