Addiction Treatment in London

Outpatient Addiction Treatment in London

Outpatient addiction treatment allows you to go through the treatment process while living at home. It is different from inpatient treatment, which requires you to stay in a residential rehab centre for a specified period.

We will support you at our London centre and can offer medically assisted alcohol detox near London in our Essex clinic, and an outpatient rehabilitation programme in London tailored to meet your needs. Step by Step Recovery’s rehab near London has a multidisciplinary team with comprehensive clinical expertise and a genuine understanding of overcoming drug or alcohol addiction.

Does Outpatient Rehab Work?

You may have heard that residential rehab has a higher success rate, with lower rates of relapse, and while this is true, it doesn’t mean outpatient addiction treatment is not effective. We also know that not everyone can attend residential treatment for as long as they may need or want to.

Outpatient addiction treatment may be used once you’ve completed a stay at our residential rehab in Essex. Whatever the reason you need to undertake outpatient rehab in London, our experienced team will do everything they can to ensure your treatment is effective.

During your rehabilitation, one-to-one counselling and group therapy sessions ensure you have a structured and intensive treatment programme.

Signs You May Need Addiction Treatment

Accepting you need addiction treatment is challenging when you are in the throes of addiction. Here are six signs that may help you to recognise if you have an alcohol addiction or substance use disorder (SUD). If you identify with two or more of the below signs, please contact us for free advice about outpatient addiction treatment at our London rehab clinic.

Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control your use of drugs or alcohol. Experiencing tolerance and increasing the amount or frequency of use to get the same effects. Withdrawal symptoms when you try to reduce or stop using a substance. Constantly thinking about when you can next use drugs or alcohol. Withdrawal from people and recreational activities, to spend time obtaining and using drugs or alcohol. Continuing to use even when you are aware of health problems and negative social effects of your drug or alcohol abuse. A growing sense of fear and shame when in withdrawal.

Dependence vs Addiction: Understanding the Difference

Although there are signs that separate dependence from addiction, there are also many signs that overlap. It is recommended that addiction treatment is sought as soon as you develop symptoms of dependence for the highest chance of recovery.

When tailoring a treatment programme, recognising signs of dependence or addiction is simply a way for addiction experts to ensure they support your personal needs. Both dependency and addiction are diagnosed as substance use disorder regardless of the presence of or lack of withdrawal symptoms.

Addiction treatment can be powerful in both outpatient and residential rehab when the right level of support is provided. If you can’t stay away from home, attending outpatient treatment at our London rehab gives you access to professionals who can help you overcome addiction.

Our rehab in London provides you with critical support and rehabilitation in the form of outpatient treatment post 28 day stay, which strengthens your prospect of continuing to live a life free from addiction.

Two types of outpatient treatment are available at our rehab in London: assessment for continued residential medical detox elsewhere, and addiction counselling and rehabilitation programmes provided for up to six-months period in London.

Cost of Outpatient Rehab in London
