Liverpool Drug and Alcohol Rehab Treatment Centres

Ocean Recovery provides residential drug and alcohol rehab near Liverpool. Our inpatient rehab clinic uses different treatment options and treatment plans that can lead to a full recovery.

Drug and alcohol abuse in Liverpool has been a long-standing problem, as with many other big cities in the UK. Individuals can use drugs or drink as a way to enjoy themselves without taking into account any potential consequences that can come with the continued use of drugs and alcohol.

Ocean Recovery is one of the closest inpatient rehabs in proximity to Liverpool and can provide emergency admission to you or your family members.

Drugs and Alcohol Issues are Widespread

In 2022 approximately 9% of adults took a drug of some sort in the UK, according to the Office For  National Statistics; there are many factors that can be attributed to this, such as the growing illegal drug trafficking network in the UK and changing opinions on drug use.

Alcohol use in the UK is showing no signs of slowing down as it remains completely legal with very limited restrictions on its use in England.

The UK has a long history of alcohol abuse with drinking alcohol mostly viewed as a positive activity, and in most cases, when drunk in moderation, it can do no harm and be an enjoyable social activity.

However, there is clearly a dark side to alcohol use that not many people see. Alcohol can do little harm when drunk in small amounts – but in larger amounts, it has the potential to ruin your life.

Liverpool Drug and Alcohol Addiction

Regular substance abuse can lead to serious health issues, ranging from severe liver problems to tremors and death. In fact, new figures that have been released this year (2023) concluded that the “Office for Health and Improvement Disparities figures show premature deaths from alcohol-related conditions led to a potential 5,057 years of life being lost in Liverpool in 2020 – up from 4,410 in 2019.”

The government releases a new guideline every few years on alcohol intake – and where the line between healthy use and unhealthy abuse is drawn. Yet – many people do not adhere to these guidelines. This is not due to choice; alcohol is simply very addictive.

This is very apparent in the city of Liverpool, which was named one of the worst cities in the UK for drug admissions to hospitals. In Merseyside, there were 192 drug-related deaths registered in 2021, highlighting the problem of addiction in Liverpool.

Do you live in Liverpool or the North West, and you struggle with keeping your drinking habits in order? It is not too late. You can get help today for addiction and it is simple to find a rehab centre near you.

For those that are tired of the problems substance abuse brings, but cannot stop without help, call us today for alcohol addiction treatment on 0800 880 7596.

How Our Drug and Alcohol Rehab Liverpool Service Works

When you begin treatment at our residential rehab, you will have access to all of our world-class rehab facilities. Our rehab near Liverpool wants to ensure that you receive the best addiction treatment available, which is why we provide every resident with their own treatment programme.

Find out more about our residential treatment below.

Drug or Alcohol Addiction Detox

The first step toward becoming drug and alcohol-free is medically supervised alcohol or drug detox.

Drug or alcohol detox is the process of clearing all harmful toxins from your body by quitting the drug or alcohol addiction cold turkey. Prolonged use of drugs and alcohol means that your body has become tolerant of addictive substances in your bloodstream, and a detox process is required to help overcome addiction.

The only way to clear all harmful toxins from your body is by completely stopping drug and alcohol intake. If your addiction is more severe, a more gradual reduction is also considered during the alcohol detox stage.

During your medically assisted detox, you may experience withdrawal symptoms which can be quite uncomfortable and hard to manage. Depending on the severity of your addiction, the withdrawal symptoms you experience during the medical detox can be mild to severe, and prescription medication can be provided to help alleviate any of these withdrawal symptoms by our medical professionals.

  • Mild symptoms include abdominal cramps, nausea and muscle/bone aches.
  • Moderate symptoms include diarrhoea, fatigue and vomiting.
  • Serious symptoms include increased anxiety, tremors, hypertension and a dangerously high heart rate.

It is for the above reasons that we strongly recommend that no individual attempts to detox at home, as the withdrawal effects can be life-threatening. It is also much harder to do a detox alone without the support of medical professionals and other peers during a supervised detox, which is why people outside of rehab centres have much higher relapse rates.

Upon successful completion of your medical detox, you will start the next phase of private rehab treatment which is more focused on healing the mind. The detox programme provided here at Ocean Recovery helps you to feel supported and get your life back on track.

Our Therapy Treatments

At our inpatient rehab, you will receive intensive therapy which includes daily counselling sessions with qualified therapists, regular support groups and several therapy sessions such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and one-to-one sessions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is designed to help you understand your mind better so you can have more control when exhibiting addictive behaviours. This will also help you with any cravings and triggers that you may experience when returning to normal life upon completion of your rehab programme.

At Ocean Recovery, CBT-led therapy sessions and other holistic therapies are some of the most popular addiction therapy treatments used.

Other therapy sessions include:

  • Individual therapy
  • Art therapy
  • Support group therapy sessions
  • Family therapy helps family members to feel close and have some understanding of you and your drug and alcohol addiction.

We have a wide range of rehab plans available to residents in the Liverpool area with our experienced team committed to helping you build up a better life for yourself away from drug abuse and alcoholism.

To find out more about our alcohol rehab in Liverpool, please call our admissions team today on 0800 880 7596.

The Effects Addiction Has on The Brain

Once you become dependent on drugs and alcohol, you will see a rapid change in your mood and mental state of mind when the desired effects of the substance you are using wear off.

There are a few reasons for this, as there may already be underlying causes for your drug addiction or alcohol abuse and dependence. People who suffer from depression and anxiety often self-medicate by drinking alcohol or taking drugs; this can lead to a vicious cycle and may require dual diagnosis treatment at our drug and alcohol rehab close to Liverpool.

Users can experience decreased anxiety or depression in the short term, but prolonged use actually lowers your natural serotonin levels which regulate the happy feeling in the brain.

This results in you feeling worse the next day and your body can only return to a normal state by giving it the harmful substance that has now become dependent on which in turn can have a more negative effect on an individual’s mental health.

 

Does Rehab Work?

It is a common fear that rehab won’t work to treat alcohol or drug addiction, especially when it is difficult to afford private rehab.

Residential rehabilitation centres such as ours at Ocean Recovery are the best places to achieve long-term recovery and learn coping mechanisms for the future.

Our treatment programmes are designed to help you or a loved one address their addiction, detox from their physical dependence and learn ways to manage triggers of relapse.

Inpatient programmes provide residents with constant peer support and recovery workers who understand addiction themselves, so they are in the best environment to recover.

Our rehab clinic can also treat drug addiction, alcoholism, addiction to prescription drugs as well as dual diagnosis, so our treatment programme works to address the common mental and physical issues that these addictions cause.

If you are willing to put the work into our rehab programme and really want to recover, our addiction treatment programmes are very successful and provide you with all the tools you need to recover.

Achieve long-term recovery with the caring team at Ocean Recovery today.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment Options

For anyone who struggles with mental health issues as well as drug and alcohol addiction, our team at Ocean Recovery can provide dual diagnosis treatment at our rehab a short drive from Liverpool.

Mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, unfortunately, occur frequently in people who have problems with drug abuse or alcohol misuse. This can be experienced as either a side effect or as withdrawal symptoms of drug and alcohol addiction, or pre-existing mental health conditions.

During our admissions process, you will be asked a number of questions about the type and severity of your drug addiction or alcoholism, your location, and whether you suffer from any mental health issues.

This allows our rehab to prepare a personalised treatment programme for you which aims to treat your body and mind. Our private rehab gives you the best chance at achieving a full recovery and living a sober life after you have left our rehab centre.

Call us today on 0800 880 7596 or fill out our contact form to find out more about our dual diagnosis treatment at our drug and alcohol rehab in Liverpool.

 

What Happens After Addiction Rehab?

Recovery from addiction is an ongoing journey and doesn’t end when you leave our treatment centre.

Once you return to your normal daily routine you will be faced with the same challenges you had prior to your stay at our inpatient rehab. The first few months after you have received addiction treatment at our rehab clinic will be some of the most difficult.

This is why it is crucial for you to keep up with the aftercare services that are provided by our team.

At Ocean Recovery you are provided with 12 months of free aftercare to guide you through the transition process and ensure you can adapt to the skills and techniques you developed from relapse prevention planning during your treatment and therapy sessions.

It is also recommended that you get in touch with Liverpool AA or NA services so you receive extended outpatient treatment once you have left our centre. The outpatient programmes provided by Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are a great way to keep up the support once you have finished your treatment plan.

Find out more about our alcohol and drug rehab centre by getting in contact with our team. You can either call on 0800 880 7596, or fill out our contact form and we will get back in touch with you.

Local NHS Help in Liverpool for Addiction

If you’re wondering where else you can turn for help with your addition, your local GP is always an option.

No matter your situation, the NHS can help you get the care you need, especially if you’re in a crisis. If you’re worried but don’t need emergency help, you can always utilise the 111 service, online or over the phone.

For example, 111 can not give you a diagnosis, but they can direct you to the best place to get help for your symptoms. This might be an out-of-hours GP, A&E or a follow-up appointment with your GP.

You can make an appointment with your GP regardless, so ensure that you’re registered. Some of the local GPs in and around the city centre include:

St James Health Centre

  • Registration is available to those in the  L1, L2, L3, L8, L17 & L19 postcode.

Brownlow Health Central

  • Registration is available to those in the L1, L2, L3, L6, L7, L8, L15, L17 and L18 postcode.

South Sefton, Liverpool GPs

  • You can also find a list of further GP Practices within South Sefton, covering further postcodes such as L20, L21, L22, L23 & more.

Dont forget, if you’re in a crisis or are worried that you or somebody else has suffered an overdose, don’t waste any time and head to A&E for emergency treatment. The most central hospital and A&E in Liverpool is the Royal Liverpool Hospital.

 

Alcoholics & Narcotics Anonymous in Liverpool

A great way to transition from aftercare is to utilise AA meetings in your area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing the right rehab treatment provider can be a life-changing decision; here are some of the most common questions we are asked pre-admission.

How long is drug and alcohol rehab?

Each individuals journey with addiction recovery is different. There are many factors to consider when determining how long an individual will need at rehab like the time they have been addicted, what substance they are addicted to, their age, and even metabolism. Typical rehab lasts between 7 days – 3 months. The best way to determine how long you should attend rehab will be to call our specialist addiction rehab team today.

How do I get help for my addiction?

There are numerous charities and other organisations that can help people struggling with addiction. You can talk to your GP, who will be able to advise you on the next steps. Or you can contact us for help and advice with complete confidentiality. Residential rehab is the best way to treat serious addiction problems and you can get the ball rolling with a simple phone call or by sending us a message. We also offer support for family and friends if you are concerned about a loved one.

What does rehab cost?

The cost will depend on the length of stay, from a 7-day residential stay to a full 28-day-plus residential rehab with detox. You can contact us today and request a callback to discuss the cost of a stay in rehab in complete confidence. It’s worth remembering that the cost of leaving an addiction untreated can be far higher.
