Choosing the right alcohol rehab clinic can be difficult and confusing but it is important and can be a key factor in whether a treatment programme succeeds or fails.

Each individual rehab clinic will have their own approach to alcohol treatment so you’ll need to do some research about different clinics and your needs. Research clinics yourself and seek out reliable information both online and from others. Someone else who’s been through alcohol dependency may be able to recommend a good clinic or give you advice on choosing one.

Obviously you’ll need to consider the price. Think about how much you can realistically afford and try not to overstretch yourself as this could make things worse, particularly if alcohol problems are linked to stress. A lot of people get help from their family or from some kind of loan but again, tread carefully to avoid debt problems.

Think about where the rehab centre is located in relation to your friends and loved one. If it’s too far away it may be difficult to receive visitors. It’s true that some people prefer not to have visitors, though. If quiet and isolation is important to you find out if the centre offers that.

What kind of accommodation does the rehab clinic offer? Some offer single rooms, whilst others are shared. Some people in treatment like to share a room but others want to have their own room.

Some types of treatment suit some people more than others and it’s important to know what’s on offer. Different clinics will offer different treatments. Ask at the clinic what treatments they offer and how each person’s treatment programme is decided.

Questions to ask

When you’re getting more information on rehab clinics you’ll probably want to go armed with a list of questions. Questions you might like to consider asking include:

What kind of treatment programmes does the centre offer?
What are the prices?
How long is the recommended stay?
What is the success rate?
Do you have any case studies/testimonials?
Are visitors allowed?
What are the rules?
What are the consequences of rule-breaking?
What is the detox process?
What detox medication is offered?
Who will work with me?
What qualifications do the staff have?
What is the ethos of the clinic?
What kind of aftercare is on offer?

For those suffering from alcohol dependency there are many treatment options to suit the individual. In many cases, particularly serious ones, patients will need treatment at an in-patient alcohol rehabilitation centre in order to get well. This is the sensible option for those misusing large amounts of alcohol as unmanaged withdrawal can cause fatal complications.

There are many in-patient alcohol treatment facilities around the UK. These centres offer a comfortable and safe environment where clients can slowly withdraw from alcohol misuse under the management of trained professionals. Each person is cared for individually whilst being taken through a practiced and managed series of medical and psycho-analytical interventions.

Treatment normally consists of a planned and managed alcohol detoxification or detox, followed by a rehabilitation program that allows the client to learn the skills needed to stay sober. Aftercare is also normally offered in order to support the individual on the road to long-term recovery from alcohol dependency.

As an alternative to in-patient alcohol treatment, some people prefer to use out-patient clinics. These are centres that an individual will visit regularly in order to follow an alcohol detoxification program administered by doctors or trained professionals.

Treatment at an out-patient facility allows the person to continue with their day-to-day lives, fitting their detox around other commitments. This type of treatment option is suited to less severe cases of alcohol misuse and to those people that do not have the time to spend staying at an in-patient clinic.

There are many alcohol rehabilitation centres across the country, particularly in bigger cities such as London. Certain facilities, like London-based Wellington Lodge, specialise in purely treating alcohol addiction. This means their knowledge and expertise is focused on alcohol treatment and so they can provide the best service possible.
