subject: The Only Route For Addiction In Berkshire Is To Get Treatment Though Rehab Clinics [print this page] An NHS trust in Berkshire has been given top marks in dealing with people who have drink and drug related issues. This is good news but the issue with drugs causes a real strain on the NHS services.
There are many people who have a problem or addiction with substance abuse who have turned to the NHS for help and support. There can be a long wait on the NHS for someone to be given the help that's needed. Indeed, the NHS will deal with the drug issue to a certain extent but once you take a drug away from an addict, how do you then get them to stay clean from drugs?
This is where rehab clinics in Berkshire can make a real difference. Anyone with a drug addiction can book themselves into a rehab clinic and get the help and support they desperately need straight away. Of course they have to fund these private rehab clinics either themselves or may be with the help of family and loved ones.
Rehab clinics throughout Berkshire offer an initial mental and physical assessment of the client. Once this has been done, they can decide whether the client needs to undergo a detoxification programme in order to safely withdraw from the drug that they have been using. Depending in the severity of the addiction, detox programmes can last from 7 - 14 days. After the detox programme has finished, they can then start their treatment programme.
The treatment programmes offered by these rehab clinics in Berkshire for drug related problems will look at the underlying cause as to why that client is addicted to drugs.
Many people with drug related problems have mental health issues which have been brought on by their continual usages of illegal substances. This has put a major strain on NHS and police resources through Berkshire. It is not just a simple question of removing the substance from the addict's body, it is about looking deep inside to find the issues and what triggers a person to start using a drug again. An addict should be treated as a whole person, not just the part of them that has an addiction to drugs.
Drug use also has a terrible effect on children, especially those whose parents are drug users. Children can become very depressed and put at risk.
As much good as the NHS is doing in Berkshire, this is a country-wide problem which needs tackling immediately.
