Mental Health Rehab

Delamere mental health rehab

Mental health problems can start for all sorts of reasons such as trauma or abuse, substance use, social reasons, or financial pressures, or someone might be genetically disposed to having mental health issues. These external pressures can build up and manifest in problems such as anxiety disorders, personality disorders, psychotic disorders, and eating disorders.

At Delamere, our team of highly trained therapists, mentors, nurses, doctors, and lived experience practitioners use a range of evidence-based therapies to encourage you to open up about your problems and get to the root of what’s causing your poor mental health.

Unlike a traditional mental health rehab centre, we are person-centric – looking at all aspects of a person’s life to support the healing process.

Guests participating in our mental health rehab programme can expect traditional psychotherapies such as 1-1 counselling sessions, group therapies, trauma therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as well as somatic healing experiences, such as meditation, grounding techniques, and breathwork, all of which play a crucial role in helping them to heal and overcome their mental health problems.

Why go to rehab for mental health?

Mental illness often goes undiagnosed. Everyone has ups and downs, so it isn’t always easy to spot the difference between a low mood and a mental health disorder. Whilst there are many things you can do in general to improve your mental wellbeing, such as being physically active, sleeping well, drinking less alcohol, or eating a nutritious diet, sometimes a more intensive form of treatment is necessary to reframe negative thoughts and learned behaviours. That’s where mental health rehab becomes extremely valuable for those who need to press pause, reset, and recalibrate. Delamere is primarily an addiction treatment and behavioural health clinic, rather than a psychiatric hospital. We regularly support guests for whom addiction isn’t a primary presenting problem, yet mental health or work burnout is. 

Our programme and environment can be an especially good fit for those seeking recovery from mental health issues who are looking for a more comfortable environment with a more holistic approach. Delamere’s team includes 24/7 mental health professionals and much of the programme here is focused around mental health, trauma, and how we respond to life in a healthy way.

It’s important to recognise the signs in yourself, or someone you care about, to get a proper diagnosis and find the right, professional mental health treatment. Here are some common indications of mental health problems:

Feeling anxious or depressed

It’s normal to have days where you feel anxious or worried about something but, if it’s happening more often than not, you may be suffering from a mental health disorder. Symptoms such as heart palpitations, headaches, restlessness, lack of appetite, and insomnia can indicate you aren’t coping with anxiety and need help. Symptoms of depression involve a low mood or loss of pleasure or interest in activities, leaving people feeling despondent and disconnected from life. At Delamere, we offer both anxiety treatment and rehab treatment for depression to help guests improve their quality of life and regain control from these overwhelming mental illnesses.

Withdrawing from social situations

When you’re struggling with your mental health it can be difficult to face people. You may find that you’ve lost interest in things you used to love doing, or just don’t want to be in social situations anymore. When this starts becoming a regular occurrence it’s time to seek mental health treatment. Having a social network, and other people you can lean on is an important part of your recovery. At Delamere, we encourage our guests to talk openly with others in group therapy and build relationships that can support them in their life beyond treatment.

Drug and alcohol abuse

Turning to substance abuse is common for someone suffering from mental health problems. You may notice someone is drinking more alcohol than usual or taking drugs to get through the day. What starts as a means of ‘taking the edge off’ can soon become a physical and psychological need. This can very easily turn into alcohol addiction or drug addiction without effective mental health treatment. 

Mood swings and psychological problems

If you notice that someone is becoming quick to anger, it could be a sign of a mental health illness. Everyone has off days, but extreme mood swings can indicate bipolar disorder or other mental illnesses, such as personality disorders.

If you recognise any of the signs and symptoms of mental health problems in yourself or others, it’s important that you get professional help. Don’t hesitate to call us on 0330 111 2015 for free, confidential advice.
