Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Ashington
There are a substantial number of people struggling with drug and alcohol addictions across the UK, many of whom will fail to reach out for help, due to fear or shame.
Here, at OK Rehab, we want you to know that there is no shame in having addiction problems.
There is no specific type of person that addiction targets, it’s a disease that does not discriminate.
If you live in or around Ashington and have been considering recovery, there are reputable rehabilitation services based in your local area that can help you achieve your goal.
We partner with leading drug and alcohol addiction recovery treatment providers across the UK, and can help you gain access to them quickly through our assessment and pre-admission process.
Many of our addiction recovery advocates are in addiction recovery themselves, so they are incredibly well-placed to explain the end-to-end process for you, setting any concerns that you may have about attending recovery, to rest.
We offer a confidential and non-judgmental advice, support and referral service, completely free of charge.
When’s the best time to access rehab in Ashington?
We understand that it can be difficult to find the strength and motivation to reach out for help, however, if you’ve already acknowledged addiction behaviours in yourself, then there is no better time to get in touch.
As addiction is a progressive condition. It will be easier to attempt your recovery whilst the symptoms are mild, however, anyone can recover from a drug and alcohol addiction if they have determination and the right support.
The nature of addiction does sometimes make it difficult for you to recognise addictive behaviours in yourself, so we’re happy to discuss your symptoms with you and advise on whether we think your substance use has verged into the area of addiction.
At OK Rehab, we offer free advice from a team of non-judgemental professionals, many of whom are in recovery and understand how hard it can be to change your relationship with addiction.
To find out more about rehab in Ashington, simply reach out to our 24/7, confidential hotline on 0800 326 5559.
In the meantime, if you answer yes to the below questions, the likelihood is that you have developed or are developing a drug or alcohol addiction:
- Your drug or alcohol use has increased in quantity or regularity since you began using them
- You spend the majority of your time focussing on when the next time you can obtain and/or use substances is
- You feel unwell when you are not able to access drugs or alcohol
- You deny or hide your substance use from others and/or those close to you have raised concerns about your use
- You notice mood and/or personality changes, or have them pointed out to you by others
Be honest with your answers, and if you are at all concerned, reach out to our team who can provide information about rehab in Ashington.
We will take you through an assessment to determine the nature and severity of your addiction, and recommend a level of care that is reflective of your condition.
What can I expect from a residential rehab in Ashington?
Private residential rehab clinics provide a holistic approach to drug and alcohol addiction, which offers the greatest success rates.
You will be assessed by a doctor who specialises in addiction recovery treatment on admission to the programme, and they will design the treatment plan around your specific needs, as no two addiction experiences are exactly the same.
Whilst outpatient treatments are available in the Ashington area, the major benefit of attending private rehabilitation centres is the immediacy of access to their services.
Unfortunately, NHS waiting lists for this type of treatment can be incredibly long, due to severe underfunding in this area of healthcare.
Many people will therefore lose their desire to recover from their addiction, whilst awaiting access to the programme.
Our network of private treatment providers offer high standards of care and comfortable accommodation, with a range of options for different budgets.
We can even arrange payment plans for you, should finances be a concern.
At OK Rehab, we offer free advice from a team of non-judgemental professionals, many of whom are in recovery and understand how hard it can be to change your relationship with addiction.

Holistic and structured treatment programme
If your addiction problem is a long standing condition, or is moderate to severe in severity, we will most likely recommend a residential rehab stay.
All of our partners will provide tailored programmes, as described above, and these will consist of elements of both physical and psychological treatment.
Detox is a critical part of your rehabilitation, and is usually the first element of your treatment. As withdrawal symptoms are likely and offer substantial health risks, we recommend that it is always undertaken at a professional clinic.
Here you can be monitored by specialists 24 hours a day, who can also administer prescription medication to minimise any withdrawal symptoms experienced.
Once you’ve achieved sobriety, you will be able to focus on the wide range of psychological therapy on offer.
A team of specialist psychologists, psychotherapists and addiction recovery counsellors will help you to understand the causes and triggers of your addictive behaviours.
You will learn coping mechanisms which are essential to the maintenance of your newly found sobriety, in the long term and when you leave residential rehab.
The therapies used will be tailored specifically to your needs, but will include those that have been used most successfully to treat addiction problems globally, such as:
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behaviour therapy
- Motivational therapy
- Group therapy
- Family or couples therapy
- Alternative therapies and classes, such as art, music, reiki and yoga
Throughout the course of your psychological treatment, it’s fairly common for underlying mental health conditions to be uncovered.
These are usually the cause or partial cause of your addiction, or have sometimes developed as a result of prolonged substance use.
Either way, the psychotherapy team at rehab in Ashington will ensure that you are referred on for extra care, should it be determined that you need it.
Attending aftercare after rehab in Ashington
It’s perfectly understandable to be concerned that after a stretch in residential rehab, where you are monitored and supported daily, you might not manage so well on your own.
Whilst maintaining your sobriety will require continued effort on your part, you will be in a much better place to do so following your stay.
It’s also a comfort to know that you won’t be alone in your efforts. All of our partner rehab facilities, both in Ashington and beyond, offer an extensive aftercare programme, which often sees you through your entire first year following discharge.
You will also be encouraged to join abstinence based groups in the Ashington area.
Don’t delay the beginning of the next chapter in your life, reach out to our team at OK Rehab today, and we’ll ensure that you find the best possible help in your recovery.
We won’t need a GP endorsement, as you can self refer, so long as you are committed to your recovery goal.
