Alcohol Rehab

A question often asked is “Do I need an alcohol rehab ?” The answer to this question really depends on your own history and experiences of trying to stay sober on your own. You may have a lot of willpower and managed to stay dry for periods of time, only to find yourself drinking again.If so, you may need help to stop drinking. Most people will recognise this cycle of drinking to excess, deciding to stop, staying sober and at some point drinking again. To find an alcohol detox in Bedfordshire, contact us

Staying Sober

For most people an important change, such as a new baby, or a medical scare will be enough for them to either reduce the amount they are drinking, or decide to quit altogether. You might have already made this decision many times, perhaps sticking to the plan for a while feeling certain that you will not go back to the booze, only to find yourself falling back into old habits again. If your experience is that you are caught in this cycle, then you might need help!

The fact is, many people who are desperately trying to find a way to drink sensibly are willing to believe that they will achieve this and continue to try even after many attempts.

Alcohol Rehab - Detox

If you recognise the patterns of drinking behaviour described, it is likely that a decision to try stopping altogether is the only way forward. An alcohol rehab is the best way to detox safely and to gain the tools and support needed to achieve lasting sobriety. There are some excellent facilities available both privately and with the NHS (Although unfortunately access can be difficult)  Contact  us for information on alcohol detox centres in Bedfordshire. You can arrange a call to discuss your needs by WhatsApp message, or email if you prefer. 

Alternatives

However, there are alternatives. It is always important to remember that it is very dangerous to abruptly stop drinking on your own. There is a risk that you might have serious side effects such as acute withdrawal syndrome which can be life threatening. It is necessary to consider medical support if you detox at home. Please contact us for alternative detox options.

An alcohol detox can be facilitated by a rehab centre and is usually for between 1 and 2 weeks and is the safest way to stop. If you have already stopped and want to avoid going back to drinking, then there are some valuable resources available
