Inpatient facilities
For many people struggling with addiction, one of the most helpful first steps you might take is to get away from the pressures and distractions of life that can make recovery difficult. Inpatient facilities offer the opportunity to focus on getting better alone, away from work, school, family, friends, and the different triggers that might lead to a relapse.
Different inpatient facilities for drug rehab in Wrexham have different approaches to treatment, but many use a mixture of detox, group therapy, counselling, and the development of mental techniques that can help you identify and be aware of triggers, as well as long-term planning on how to remove them from your life.
A stay in an inpatient or residential facility may last as little as few days to as long as several months, depending on the nature of the addiction and any issues related to the addiction, such as depression or anxiety, that may be a factor in recovery.

Outpatient treatment
Those that have good support from home or responsibilities such as work or school that they simply cannot get away from may also want to look into outpatient treatment from a clinic or treatment centre. In these settings, you can be treated when best suits you, without staying overnight. For instance, you may seek treatment at an outpatient clinic that could involve sessions of three hours three times a week.
Many of the treatments offered by outpatient services are much the same as you might expect from inpatient facilities. A focus on individual counselling, group therapy, education about the nature of your addiction, and treatment to help with any issues that might link with your addiction.
Whether inpatient or outpatient is best depends a lot on your individual circumstances. While many may prefer the sound of being able to live freely while seeking treatment, there’s no denying that the safe environment provided by inpatient facilities may be what’s best for you. On the other hand, those with strong and caring support structures around them may be best suited for outpatient treatment.
Sober living communities
Often used alongside or after treatment from another form of treatment, sober living communities from drug and alcohol rehab in Wrexham (also known as sober houses or halfway houses) can help people make a more gradual change from a controlled, safe environment into the real world.
Sometimes, those who have sought treatment from inpatient facilities may have trouble facing the pressures of the outside world and the temptations that may come their way.
Sober living communities give you the opportunity to practice the self-care habits you have learned during treatment while still being free to push forward with your life, whether it’s through education, your occupation, or building relationships. Being surrounded by like-minded individuals in a drug and alcohol-free environment can help provide some accountability and the space needed to cut off toxic relationships and build a healthy life balance that allows you to later integrate more completely.
Counselling
Regardless of which kind of treatment services you choose, many of the techniques used to help you may be similar, with the environment being the major difference. There are different kinds of addiction treatment counselling on offer that aim to address not just the addiction itself, but mental and emotional factors that tie into it. Drug and alcohol use have very strong links to stress, anxiety, and depression, while factors like environments and contacts in your life can have an effect on your addiction and how you experience it.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an example of counselling that can help you learn more about your moods, thoughts, and circumstances that can lead to addiction cravings. By being more aware of triggers and learning how to replace negative thoughts and habits with positive ones, you can build defences against potential relapses.
Couples and family therapy, on the other hand, can focus on building strong relationships with those closest to you so they are able to provide the kind of support you need, helping to combat the addiction while also starting to heal the damage it may have caused in your personal life.
Group Therapy
There are also different kinds of group therapy on offer at different facilities. Cognitive behavioural groups take the CBT approach with a leader taking the group through the stages of building better habits and actions to reinforce skills that help you stay clean. Support groups are a common and effective way to let members of the group play an active role in one another’s recovery.
Sharing experiences and challenging negative behaviours and excuse-making can be helpful in providing a perspective that allows you to better understand and remedy your own addiction.
Detox
A detox is often involved as one of the first steps of alcohol and drug addiction. The aim is to help the body rid itself of the affecting substance completely, to better aid the long-term recovery that comes after. Depending on the severity of the addiction, this may be best done in an inpatient facility where support staff can keep an eye on your and ensure that the process is safe and as comfortable as possible, though home detox kits may also be an option.
During the detox process, many people suffer from both physical and mental withdrawal symptoms which can include sweating, nausea, anxiety, and pain. During this process, these symptoms can be managed with the help of medication, so detoxing with professional help on hand is usually recommended.
