What is drug rehab and how does it work?

Drug rehab involves a combination of specialist therapies and traditional treatments to help people who are addicted to drugs.

As an in-patient at Delamere’s state-of-the-art rehab centre, guests undergo a medically assisted drug detox to manage withdrawal symptoms, followed by a range of holistic therapies to help them build resilience and recover.

Treatment might include yoga, breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, equine and art therapy, along with one-to-one counselling sessions and group work.

Who needs drug rehab?

Anyone who feels like their drug taking is out of control would benefit from staying in a rehab facility. When drugs become a priority over work, family and friends, it’s a strong sign to seek help.

Residential rehab gives patients the chance to truly focus on the root cause of their drug addiction and to develop the tools to break free from harmful behaviour.

If you’ve been taking drugs for a long time, or in large amounts, attempting to quit without professional rehab can be dangerous, even life threatening. ¹

Our 4-phase Holistic Drug Rehab Programme

An in-patient stay at Delamere is a deliberately intensive 4-phase drug rehab programme which we’ve crafted over time to help many people recover.

We start by taking you through a safe and assisted drug detox supervised by our Delamere team of passionate therapists, doctors, nurses, counsellors, and support staff, some of whom have lived experience of addiction.

Stop

This phase addresses any physical aspects of your addiction. Our medical team is on hand 24/7 to ensure a safe and effective withdrawal.

Start

During ‘Start’ we help identify the psychological underpinnings of your dependency as you participate in a variety of addiction treatment therapies.

Grow

Our ‘Grow’ phase is the process of integrating the Delamere learning experience into life after treatment.

Bloom

Our ‘Bloom’ phase offers intensive support on a weekly basis for the first three months of recovery once guests return home.

Our emphasis is on holistic care. This means that we treat the whole person rather than just the symptoms they present with. We believe that successful drug rehab 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:
