Drug and alcohol rehab near Luton

What is offered at rehab near Luton?

When choosing a rehabilitation centre near Luton, the first decision you need to make is between inpatient and outpatient treatment. Outpatient treatment means you will go to the rehab centre for your scheduled appointments but will stay at home the rest of the time as normal.

Inpatient treatment is when you stay in the rehab centre as a resident for the duration of your treatment. While some people choose outpatient treatment because they think it will be more convenient near their Luton home, it can’t offer the same immersive experience as inpatient treatment. Staying in a residential rehab care centre means you will be able to focus solely on your recovery without being exposed to your normal triggers or negative influences.
In terms of the treatment programmes, outpatient rehab tends to only offer group therapy while inpatient rehab has a far more comprehensive programme consisting of group and individual therapy, supervised detox and extensive aftercare.

Is drug and alcohol abuse a problem in Luton?

Sadly, Luton and Bedfordshire are home to many people who suffer from alcohol and drug addiction as well as other behavioural addictions. The extent of the issue was magnified during the Pandemic when a growing number of local people began to use substances excessively to help cope with the isolation of lockdown and developed dependencies as a result.

Of particular concern is the dramatic increase in the number of young people with substance addictions, a situation that UKAT brought to public attention in March 2022. Public Health England’s latest figures showed a dramatic 131% increase in drug poisoning hospitalisations of 15-24 years in 2018-2020 when compared with ten years earlier. This is trend that is mirrored across all age groups in Bedfordshire which is why it is so crucial effective help is sought as soon as possible.
