Types of drug treatment available in Shillington
The right treatment depends on the drug, the severity of dependence, and personal circumstances. Most people start with community-based treatment, stepping up to detox or residential rehab if needed.
A medically supervised stay (usually 5–10 days) to safely clear drugs or alcohol from your body. The safest option for severe dependency.
Living at a treatment centre (28–90 days) receiving intensive therapy, group work, and 12-step or SMART Recovery support.
Outpatient appointments with a drug worker, counsellor, or keyworker. Usually free via NHS self-referral. Most common form of treatment.
