7-day, medically assisted detox in Glasgow, Scotland
If you’re struggling with an alcohol or drug addiction, you might need to go through a detoxification or ‘detox’ process, before you start with addiction therapy. Our 7-day detox programme at Glasgow is the process by which all traces of addictive and harmful substances are removed from your body, while controlling your withdrawal symptoms. Our specialist detox team consists of consultants and mental health professionals, and you will also have 24-hour nursing support throughout the process. Our team can prescribe medication to monitor, reduce and improve withdrawal symptoms, and ensure that you’re physically stable, ready for addiction therapy. You can read more about this process on our drug detoxification and alcohol detox pages.
Residential addiction treatment
Once you’ve successfully completed your detox programme, the next step is for you to start comprehensive inpatient (residential) treatment for your addiction. This form of treatment is effective in the treatment of addictions as it provides you with structure, ongoing monitoring and support, as well as the chance to spend some time away from your usual living situation in order to remove any temptations or negative influences that might be fuelling your addictive behaviours. We also ensure that you have regular meetings with your consultant psychiatrist to discuss how you’re feeling, keep track of the progress that you’re making, and continue to build coping strategies to improve your lifestyle and ensure a positive future.
Residential treatment can seem daunting at first. However, you can be assured that receiving inpatient addiction treatment with us provides you with the care and attention you need to fully tackle your addiction and any co-occurring mental health problems. You really are in the best hands at Priory Hospital Glasgow.
In addition, our residential addiction treatment programme consists of a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, as well as access to a number of 12-Step support groups.
Day care addiction treatment
Day care addiction treatment consists of you attending Glasgow for a set number of days each week, depending on the intensity of the support you need. During this time, you’ll take part in addiction therapy groups alongside current residential patients. However, unlike our residential programme, you won’t stay at the hospital overnight and will return home following a day of therapy. Day care is useful if you need comprehensive support for your addiction, but don’t need intensive 24-hour care. Day care can also be used as a step down once you’ve completed your 28-day inpatient programme, or can be used as a step up from outpatient therapy.
