OK Rehab - Southport

Once you’ve checked in to a specialised rehab clinic in the Southport area, you’ll begin a bespoke treatment programme. While this differs for everyone, particular treatments are recurrent in most care plans and are crucial in implementing the behavioural changes needed to recover.

The first phase is the same for everyone and is a fully supervised detox. This is completed over the course of around several days, depending on the substance being reduced in the body. With 24 hour access to medical professionals and addiction psychiatrists, you’ll get sober in a safe, comfortable space.

Following this phase, you’ll undergo a unique treatment programme that perfectly balances rigorousness and relaxation. Central to this will be a combination of individual and group counselling.

For one-on-one sessions, talking psychotherapy such as CBT is preferred, and is led by an experienced psychiatrist. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps to manage an addiction by changing thought and behavioural patterns. This is often paired with Dialectical Behavioural therapy, which focuses more on the emotions surrounding substance use disorder.

During group therapy sessions, you’ll have the chance to connect with those facing similar struggles. While some may be battling the same substance, each recovery journey is different, and group counselling is an important way of reflecting and learning from others.

When you’re not engaging in therapy, there will be the opportunity to engage in holistic activities- that help restores the balance between body and mind. Through yoga, meditation, and creative hobbies, you’ll learn how to maintain a healthy lifestyle upon your return home.
