Are you concerned about the substance abuse or addictive behaviour of yourself or a loved one? If so, you’ll likely be wondering about the different types of rehabilitation programmes and their benefits. At Acquiesce, we understand that seeking rehabilitation can be a nerve-wracking process, particularly if you are concerned about having to stay in a place that is unfamiliar to you ,with people you don’t know. We also know that for many people, being in full time residential rehab is either unappealing or unrealistic for a range of reasons, including your existing commitments. That’s why we have a range of programmes available to suit your circumstances and family responsibilities.
Our Programmes
Detox
Detox is the first step to recovery for many substance addictions. The Detox programme facilitates the safe removal of substances from the body and manages the withdrawal symptoms. At Acquiesce, we arrange a residential detox because as going ‘cold turkey’ without the right kind of help can be dangerous for those who have become reliant on a substance to function, and may result in withdrawal symptoms such as seizures, which can be fatal when handled incorrectly.
Whilst some people swear by going cold turkey, it doesn’t work for everyone. It is recommended by the NHS that you seek professional help from a treatment centre when quitting something you are addicted to. This is due to the way in which your body can become dependent on drugs and alcohol and cutting off the supply too quickly could also result in more extreme withdrawal symptoms, including seizures and even life threatening syndromes such as Delirium Tremens. Such intense side effects can cause you stress and discomfort, making you more likely to start using the substance again in order to ease them if you are unsupervised. This is called a relapse.
At Acquiesce, we can arrange a detoxification placement for you, which supervises the quitting process and the withdrawal that follows, helping you to manage the symptoms and avoid a relapse.
Residential
At Acquiesce we understand that alcohol, drugs and gambling are sometimes a method of coping with negative experiences or feelings. The residential rehab programme targets the root issue which you may be experiencing by offering a combination package that includes the 12 Steps and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy based approaches. This type of treatment offers a recovery focused code of behaviour in which to live by whilst teaching new skills and offering resources that help to treat the addiction in day to day life on a practical level.
Whilst we hope you will complete the full programme, you are never forced to stay or made to feel like you are trapped. We do everything in our power to make rehabilitation as calm and enjoyable as possible. Our social and leisure activities allow you to have fun during your rehabilitation and can help you to make friendships with others in recovery.
