The UK's #1 Addiction Helpline
Drugs and alcohol are two of the leading causes of premature death in Wales, with many individuals within the principality abusing these substances on a daily basis. A recent report found that many people in the country regularly drink more than the recommended weekly alcohol amount of fourteen units. In fact, a large number of these admitted to drinking their full weekly allowance in one drinking session. As such, there is an urgent need for alcohol rehab in Wales to help tackle the problem of alcohol abuse and addiction.
However, it is not just alcohol that is causing problems. Hundreds of thousands of drug-related crimes are committed in Wales every year while drug use in the country is said to cost the economy around £780 million annually. It should be obvious, therefore, that access to both alcohol and drug rehab in Wales is actively encouraged for those suffering from addiction as this will ultimately help to reduce crime and save lives.
Early intervention is always the best way to deal with addiction, but the nature of the illness is that many individuals do not realise they have a problem until the addiction is at a late stage. Those who abuse alcohol or prescription medication are particularly affected by this. It is difficult for most people who abuse substances such as alcohol to recognise that they may have an issue.
Alcohol is a widely available and socially acceptable substance, and because most adults in Wales drink it, the idea that it could become a major problem is hard for some to fathom. Despite warnings from the government, many still find it hard to comprehend the fact that alcohol can be dangerous when abused, and it is this that can cause devastating addictions.
The same can obviously be said of prescription medication; many patients prescribed strong painkillers or sedatives by a doctor fail to understand that their pills could be addictive. These individuals just assume the medication is safe because their doctor has prescribed them.

If your loved ones have raised concerns about your drinking or similar addiction-related behaviour while taking prescription medication, it could be that you have developed a problem. You may be quick to dismiss their concerns, but it is highly unlikely that these concerns are unfounded.
In most cases, those with addiction are the last ones to recognise that the problem exists. It is usually family members and friends who can see something has changed with their loved one’s behaviour. Their apprehension will usually be met with resistance and angry denials when the subject is brought up, however. This is quite common, but it often delays treatment.
If you have been tackled about alcohol or drug abuse by loved ones, we urge you to get in touch with us here at Recovery.org.uk. A chat with one of our friendly and experienced team members will help to determine if you do indeed have a problem or if your loved ones’ concerns are unfounded.
If you do have an addiction problem that needs treating, the best way to begin the procedure is typically with a drug or alcohol detox. This process allows you to quit alcohol or drugs in a safe environment with access to support and care from qualified professionals. That is if you decide to detox in a supervised facility – but this is something that we would highly recommend.
Many people believe that the process of detox will be more comfortable at home, but the opposite is usually true. Detoxing from alcohol and drugs can involve complications, and there is always the risk of severe withdrawal symptoms. It is far better to detox in a supervised facility where you know that you will be safe and comfortable throughout the process. You will also be safe in the knowledge that should any severe withdrawal symptoms occur a medical professional will be on hand to deal with the situation.
When it comes to finding alcohol or drug rehab in Wales, we can help. We know how time-consuming it can be to find a suitable treatment provider when you search online. As well as the many private clinics, there are various charities, local support groups and NHS-run programmes operating in the country, and it can be difficult to know which one will suit you best if you do not know what you are looking for.
Recovery.org.uk has been helping individuals with addiction to access treatment providers suitable to their requirements for many years. We have the knowledge and experience to match you with a provider that specialises in the addiction you are struggling with and who will also suit your other requirements.
We will look at the severity of your addiction, overall health, commitments at work and home, and finances before making a recommendation to a particular clinic. We will also take your preferences into account regarding the type of treatment you want.
There are verious types of rehab centres available in Wales, including inpatient alcohol rehab, luxury alcohol rehab, and private drug rehabs.

You will typically have the option of inpatient or outpatient treatment when it comes to rehab options, but we will advise you on the type of rehab that will suit your needs most. For example, you may prefer a programme of outpatient care, but if we believe your requirements would be best met within a residential clinic, we will advise you of this. Nevertheless, the final decision will always be yours. We are here to offer advice and guide you through the decision, but we cannot choose a certain rehab in Wales for you.
Inpatient care is usually best for those with a severe addiction or for those who have tried to quit before with an outpatient programme but have suffered a relapse. It is also a preferable choice for anyone who has a stressful home life that might make staying away from alcohol or drugs difficult.
Nonetheless, we do fully understand that not everyone is suited to an inpatient programme; some people just cannot leave their homes for weeks at a time; for them, we will find a suitable outpatient programme based on their needs.
