The benefits of detoxing from prescription drugs in a rehab clinic
If you have a prescription drug addiction, one of the biggest blocks to recovery can be the fear of any withdrawal symptoms, however stopping taking the medication abruptly and embarking upon an unmanaged prescription drug detox at best can be extremely uncomfortable and at worst can be life threatening. If you or a loved one are considering detoxing from prescription drugs at home, please call and speak to us first regarding our prescription drug detox treatment, or seek medical advice at the very least before proceeding. The safest means of a successful detox from prescription drugs without compromising well-being is within an inpatient rehab clinic such as Delamere.
At Delamere, our caring and supportive team comprises doctors, nurses, therapists, and support workers as well as experts by experience, who themselves have recovered from addiction. This 24-hour resource, coupled with the fact that we operate out of a purpose-built facility means we are able to offer prescription drug detox programmes that are not only safer but also much more comfortable than many offered by UK providers.
All prescription drug detox programmes we offer
Our Delamere clinical team treat all manner of prescription drug addictions intensively and comprehensively within our state-of-the-art private rehab centre. Whatever form addiction presents itself in for you or your loved one, it requires professional drug addiction treatment, including detox, and support in order to successfully overcome it.

Prescription drug detox timeline at Delamere
Many people who stay at Delamere for a prescription drug addiction require a detox, and when this is the case, the first phase of their care will be a medically managed, tailored detox from prescription drugs which is facilitated on-site at our purpose-built clinic in Cheshire.
The initial phase of our programme ‘Stop’ starts with some light therapeutic work while you undergo detox which helps you settle in and connect. This introductory work is carried out in interactive groups during which we get to know you and what’s brought you into treatment.
What you can expect from our ‘Stop’ programme is:
- A full medical detox for any alcohol or substance dependence
- A health screening from our specialist substance misuse Doctor
- 24-hour access to our fully qualified nursing team
- Medication (if required) to alleviate any withdrawal symptoms
- Plenty of rest, recuperation, and nourishment
- Your own private room with en-suite facilities
- To socialise in client lounges with fellow guests
- A deliberately light introduction to therapy
- To start feeling better, quicker than you might expect
- Access to our gym, gardens, and forest surroundings when physically fit
The Delamere approach to Prescription Drug Rehab
An inpatient stay at Delamere is a deliberately intensive 4-phase prescription drug rehab programme, one which we have crafted over time and has helped many participants recover. Our emphasis is on holistic care to treat addiction and associated issues. This means that we treat the whole person rather than just the symptoms they present with. We believe that successful treatment runs far deeper than simply stopping the addictive substance or behaviour.
Our approach at Delamere comprises 4 core phases: Stop, Start, Grow, & Bloom. Everything we offer at Delamere aims at effective and lasting outcomes in addiction treatment:
-
Stage 1: StopThis phase addresses any physical aspects of your addiction. Our medical team is on hand 24/7 to ensure a safe and effective withdrawal.
-
Stage 2: StartDuring ‘Start’ we help identify the psychological underpinnings of your dependency as you participate in a variety of addiction treatment therapies.
-
Stage 3: GrowOur ‘Grow’ phase is the process of integrating the Delamere learning experience into life after treatment.
-
Stage 4: BloomOur ‘Bloom’ phase offers intensive support on a weekly basis for the first three months of recovery once guests return home.
How to encourage a loved one to go to rehab
If you are looking to help a family member, work colleague, or loved one, admit themselves to an addiction rehabilitation centre, we’re here to help. It may be that the person in question is in denial about the extent of their problem, possibly even refusing to acknowledge that there’s a problem – and resisting professional help. At Delamere, we provide family support services and help your loved one confront addiction and denial.
Should it be necessary, we also offer intervention services whereby we take the time to understand what is happening and help prepare and rehearse a formal intervention that will culminate in your loved one entering treatment with us. If you are considering organising an intervention for your loved one, friend, or colleague, contact Delamere today.

Frequently asked questions about prescription drug detox
Will I need medication during a detox from prescription drugs?
The drug or drugs that you need detoxing from will be replaced by an approved pharmaceutical medication that minimises withdrawal symptoms. All medications will be issued at regular intervals by our 24-hour on-site nursing team who will continue to check on your physical and mental health. Before drug detox treatment can proceed, our doctor will conduct a full medical and mental health assessment. This includes screening for toxins within your body and their levels. Details of any medications you are currently taking will also be recorded. Once the assessment is complete you will then be prescribed a tailored drug detox treatment which is to be delivered within our on-site drug detox centre where you will begin to recover.
How long does it take to complete a prescription drug detox?
How long a drug detox treatment takes depends on a number of factors personal to you or your loved one. Prescription drug detox tends to take longer than a Class A drug detoxification or alcohol for example. The reason for this is that pharmaceutical drugs are far more complex in their make-up and so additional caution is required during detox. Opiates, benzodiazepines, gabapentinoids, and sleeping medications are amongst the most lengthily detoxes to undertake.
A prescription drug detox will also depend on the severity and duration of your addiction. We also have to take into account your physical and mental well-being and the presence of any other drugs in your system.
For a free and confidential assessment of your individual detox needs please contact us today and speak to one of our experts who will be able to advise further on how long your detox from prescription drugs will take.
