If you or someone you love has become physically addicted to prescription drugs, the prospect of starting a detox can seem daunting. By completing a prescription drug detox with Delamere, you can receive person-centred treatment combining expert medical care and therapeutic support in an environment purpose-built for recovery.
If you or a loved one is struggling with prescription drug use, it can be difficult to know where to turn. Managing cravings or feeling the strain on relationships or work life can leave you exhausted.
Completing a medically assisted prescription drug detox with Delamere can act as a reset button. The process allows you to clear your system of addictive substances in a safe, supported environment so that you can start prescription drug addiction rehab treatment with a clear mind.
A prescription drug detox combines any necessary medication, nutrition, fluids, and plenty of rest to bring the body back into balance whilst managing any withdrawal symptoms.
When you stay with Delamere, your detox plan will be around your comfort and safety. We provide private, comfortable en-suite rooms with specialist medical care on-site 24/7 to support you.
If you’re struggling with prescription drug addiction, one of the biggest blocks to recovery can be fear of any withdrawal symptoms. Many traditional detox treatment options can feel clinical, and outpatient options may not offer the level of support you need.
At Delamere, we aim to do things differently. We ensure your detox plan is tailored to your requirements. Our expert nursing team will be on-site to support you 24/7, with regular check-ups up to every 15 minutes.
We’re proud to be the only purpose-built addiction treatment and behavioural health clinic in the UK. This means you can complete your detox in a safe, comfortable environment, with private en-suite rooms, relaxing communal areas, and peaceful forest surroundings.
Our holistic Delamere Difference treatment model has been developed to help you break the cycle of prescription drug dependency and grow beyond addiction.
We’ve helped many guests who have become dependent on prescription drugs and those struggling with addictions to more than one substance.
Our treatment model is designed to not only treat the symptoms of addiction, but to help you get to the root cause of the dependency.
Before you start your treatment with Delamere, we’ll carry out a pre-admission screening to get to know more about you and your current situation.
Our clinical team will review this to ensure your prescription drug detox matches your needs.
When you arrive at Delamere, our on-site nursing team will carry out an assessment of your current physical and mental health. This allows our team to ensure you continue to receive the treatment and support during your detox.
As you begin to settle into life at Delamere, you will start some light therapeutic work while you complete your detox. This introductory work allows you to connect with our team and your fellow guests whilst allowing us to get to know you and what brought you to Delamere.
You’ll also have time to relax in our calming communal spaces with access to our gym, gardens, and forest surroundings once you feel physically fit.
One of the most common concerns about starting prescription drug detox treatment is managing any withdrawal symptoms.
With Delamere, you will receive expert support from our on-site nursing team to manage any withdrawal symptoms during your detox. Our regular check-ups ensure you can stay on the right treatment plan and stay as comfortable as possible.
Prescription drug withdrawal symptoms are a result of your body and brain adjusting to the absence of the drug in your system.
When you take prescription drugs over a long period of time, the medication can alter your brain chemistry. This can affect the brain’s reward system, leading to cravings and physical symptoms should you stop suddenly.
The effects of prescription drug withdrawal will vary depending on the person and the prescription medication used. That’s why the prescription drug detox programme at Delamere is built around your specific needs.
If your family member or loved one is struggling with prescription drug addiction, the team at Delamere is available to help you.
Our specialist team can offer advice on how to start a conversation with a loved one about prescription drug detox and addiction treatment. We’ll be available to answer any questions you may have about the support we offer on a completely confidential basis.
The family support services at Delamere will be available to you throughout a loved one’s stay with us. This includes providing advice on supporting your loved one once they return home.
