One of the reasons that it can take so long for someone to address their substance abuse through rehab treatment is staying in denial over their drug or alcohol addiction.
Someone might be able to convince themselves, perhaps for years, that their level of drug or alcohol abuse does not constitute a problem and does not need rehab treatment.
Sometimes, it can take the efforts of their family and loved ones to get through to them and make them see how much damage they are causing to themselves and those around them.
The most effective method of doing this is through staging an intervention for addiction and rehab.
This is best carried out with the help of a trained intervention counsellor who specialises in this area and can advise on the best drug and alcohol rehab options in Liverpool.
If you are calling us about the drug or alcohol use problem of a loved one, we can provide free advice on how to stage an effective intervention for rehab in Liverpool.

As with any other service, the cost of private drug and alcohol rehab Liverpool varies from one clinic to another.
Your final rehab cost will also depend on what kind of treatment and accommodation you choose.
For example, most people stay at rehab for a 28-day course of drug and alcohol rehab treatment, but there is also the option of a 10-day rehab.
If you were to go with the 10-day option, you could expect to pay between £2,000 and £4,000 for a place in a multiple-person dorm, and between £3,000 and £5,000 for a single-occupancy room.
This price would naturally increase with a 28-day plan, going up to around £6,000 for a single-occupancy room, and between £8,000 and £12,000 for a multiple-occupancy dorm.
If you cannot afford a full rehab course at the moment, there is the option of having a standalone drug or alcohol detox at home in Liverpool.
This is not the same as quitting alcohol ‘cold turkey’ – it would be arranged to send medication out to you in the post and provide remote guidance.
This form of rehab treatment would cost around £1,500.
While this option might be appealing in a financial sense, you would not be under constant medical supervision as you would at a residential rehab in Liverpool.
This means that your detox would not be as safe.
You would also not get the advantage of having weeks of therapy and rehab treatment after the drug or alcohol detox, making it statistically more likely that you would end up in relapse.
Assisted home detox is only available to those in Liverpool who meet certain criteria, such as consuming a relatively low amount of alcohol.
However, there are other ways to make rehab more affordable, including though payment plans and insurance. Guidance on this is part of our free advice service.
Below, we list several drug and alcohol rehabs in Liverpool:
We are an agency that deals exclusively with private rehab clinics.
However, we would like to point out that there are rehab placements available in Liverpool that are free at the point of use.
These are usually secured through the NHS, your local council or another non-profit organisation.
As you might expect, there are positives and negatives involved with each type of drug and alcohol rehab Liverpool.
The main advantage of getting a rehab place through public-funded means is that it will either be free or more affordable than private rehab.
However, the disadvantage is that you will likely have to wait for lengthy periods of time before starting treatment.
This is due to the long waiting lists and high demand associated with public-funded rehab treatment, both in Liverpool and throughout the UK.
Going through private rehab means that you can start treatment straight away, which is a great benefit for anyone who is in a cycle of heavy substance abuse.
You will also have access to a higher standard of accommodation and amenities than you would if you were to receive public rehab treatment in Liverpool.
While this may not sound like a big issue to some, it can make a big difference over the course of 28 days on-site at a drug or alcohol rehabilitation centre.
The obvious drawback to choosing private rehab or rehabilitation is that you will need to pay for your treatment.
There are also other treatments for addiction that are available through the Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, [1] including drug and alcohol counselling services and group meetings.
If you cannot afford private rehab at the moment, please do not lose hope – book an appointment with your GP in Liverpool and ask them what treatments they can arrange within your local area.
There are likely to be a number of free resources available to you.
It is also possible to pay for rehab via health insurance.

In general, a full course of rehab usually lasts for about 28 days.
This includes the detox stage of treatment, which usually takes between 7 and 10 days.
Sometimes, a patient may take longer in drug or alcohol detox, perhaps due to detoxing from a particularly heavy pattern of substance abuse before entering rehab.
From start to finish, residential rehab should not take much longer than a month.
This might seem like a long time to be in addiction treatment, but try to think of rehab as an investment in yourself and your healthier new life.
If a month in rehab can mean years or decades in recovery and sobriety, it is a small price to pay.
We can also provide free advice on how to take care of your commitments while you are away at your rehab clinic.

Cocaine is a highly controlled substance, for which even possession has a maximum sentence of 7 years in prison.
However, despite being very much illegal, cocaine use is widespread in Liverpool and across the UK, especially in pubs, bars, and clubs.
If you find yourself or someone you love struggling with cocaine addiction, the best course of action is to go to cocaine rehab in Liverpool.
Cocaine detox is best carried out at rehab, where the person can have proper medical supervision as they go through withdrawal.
Cocaine carries the likelihood of difficult psychological symptoms, such as mood swings, paranoia, anxiety, and intense cocaine cravings.
These symptoms will need to be managed by rehab professionals who know what they are doing.
If you have been in a pattern of heavy cocaine use, it is never a good idea to attempt to recover without help.
After this period at rehab, you can focus on addressing the issues that led you to cocaine abuse in the first place.
This will involve working through trauma and psychological difficulties, identifying triggers, and focusing on ways to modify your behaviour outside of rehab.

Heroin is one of the most addictive opiates on the planet, as well as being one of the most dangerous and destructive.
There are a great number of health risks associated with heroin abuse.
In the short term, heroin users have a high risk of death from overdose.
In the long term, there is an increased risk of cardiovascular issues, collapsed veins, and other serious health problems.
This is as well as the lifestyle risks from heroin addiction, such as committing crimes to afford a fix or contracting blood-borne diseases like HIV from sharing needles.
Heroin addiction is best treated at a residential rehab in Liverpool or near Liverpool, where you will go through a safe medically-assisted heroin detox before moving on to therapy and identifying the underlying issues behind your substance abuse.
Detox from heroin needs to be carefully supervised by medical professionals at rehab in Liverpool, as the risk of serious symptoms such as seizures is always high.
Heroin detox almost always involves the use of medications like Subutex and usually requires moving on to methadone on a medium-term basis – sometimes for around 12 months after coming off heroin.
Although heroin addiction can cause immense damage to the lives of sufferers as well as everyone around them, there is always a way out if you commit to the treatment plan at rehab in Liverpool.
This will involve going through a number of different therapies and having a firm plan in place for staying in recovery when you leave rehab clinic.
The rehab staff will be there to help you every step of the way – all that they ask is that you try your hardest during treatment and do what is asked of you.

Despite common myths and misconceptions, cannabis is indeed an addictive substance and its use is certainly not harmless.
Although it is not possible to overdose from cannabis, there is a lengthy list of mental health problems associated with long-term use.
This includes an increased likelihood of paranoia, depression, anxiety disorder, and others.
Cannabis can also cause users to become socially withdrawn, which in turn will likely make any mental health problems much worse.
To the uninitiated, cannabis might not often be associated with rehab.
However, cannabis rehab is very much a real thing and a lot of people in rehab are there because of their cannabis use.
If you were addicted to any other drug or alcohol and using it on a daily basis, it would be recommended that you go to rehab, and cannabis is no different.
Cannabis has the ability to take over your life and if that is happening to you, the best thing to do is seek treatment at rehab in Liverpool.
Although cannabis detox is not a procedure – as cannabis had no physically addictive element, like cocaine – withdrawing from cannabis can induce mood swings, irritability and feelings of anxiety and depression.
By attending rehab for cannabis you will receive support for these conditions, as well as intensive addiction counselling and therapy that will help you address the root cause of your cannabis abuse and ensure that you do not turn to it again after rehab.

Treating your drug or alcohol addiction will require the use of a number of different drug and alcohol therapies at a rehab centre, all of which can be administered by mental health professionals on-site.
To learn more about the therapies you will likely experience at drug and alcohol rehab in Liverpool, give our team a call on 0800 140 4690
Drug and alcohol addiction is often closely associated with other forms of chronic mental illness.
This can be personality disorders such as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia.
Conditions like this can often make a substance abuse problem much more difficult to manage both in and out of rehab due to their symptoms.
Unfortunately, many people can struggle for years without being diagnosed or realising what they are experiencing.
At drug & alcohol rehab in Liverpool, you will be under the care and supervision of a mental health team who will be able to find any such disorders and treat them appropriately.
This is referred to as dual diagnosis – the diagnosis of a condition that is present along with the already established substance addiction.
The mental health clinicians at rehab can treat these conditions with a combination of therapy and medication.

Going from active addiction into rehab is a big adjustment to make for anyone.
Likewise, it will likely be a challenge to adjust to the chaos of the outside world after being in the safe environment of a drug and alcohol rehab in Liverpool.
This is why one of the final things that you will do at rehab is put together a relapse prevention plan for when you leave drug and alcohol rehab.
This will give you a chance to put everything you have learned during your time at rehab into action.
This might involve making difficult decisions as to who you socialise with, as you will need to do your best to avoid anyone who is still in active addiction.
You will also be asked to consider where you spend your time, for example avoiding bars or clubs and other places of alcohol and drug use in the future, helping to support your sobriety after rehab.
Taking reactive steps like this, along with proactive steps like attending regular therapy sessions, will give you the best possible chance of staying in rehab recovery for the long term.
We understand that there are many people out there who would like to go to rehab, but either cannot afford private rehab treatment or do not want to wait for treatment through public drug and alcohol rehab treatment services.
Below, we have listed a number of different treatment options which are either free or much cheaper than rehab, as well as being available immediately.
