1(800) 615-1067In the United Kingdom, drug rehab is available through the National Health Service (NHS), and individuals can access rehab services free of charge or at a reduced cost.
The NHS offers a range of addiction treatment services, including residential rehab, outpatient rehab, and community-based rehab programs. Treatment options may include medication-assisted treatment, behavioral therapies, counseling, and support groups.
To access NHS drug rehab services, individuals can contact their GP, who can refer them to a local drug and alcohol service. Alternatively, individuals can refer themselves directly to a local drug and alcohol service without a GP referral. Once referred, individuals will receive an assessment to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for their needs.
It’s important to note that waiting times for NHS drug rehab services can vary depending on the individual’s location and the specific services they need. In some cases, individuals may be referred to a private rehab facility if NHS services are not available or if a private facility is more appropriate for their needs.
Overall, the NHS provides a range of drug rehab services that are accessible to individuals who need them, regardless of their ability to pay.
