Medically assisted withdrawal detox in Woking
If you are struggling with an alcohol or drug addiction, a necessary first step in your addiction treatment journey may be to undergo a medically assisted detoxification or ‘detox’. Detox is the process by which all traces of harmful, addictive substances are removed from your body, in a safe, medically assisted, and clinical environment. Detox at Woking usually lasts for seven days, but this length of time can vary according to the level of an individual’s alcohol and drug use. Our detox process is facilitated by the 24-hour presence of on-site doctors and nurses, all of whom are able to administer medication in order to control any unpleasant withdrawal symptoms that you may experience. You can read more about the alcohol detox and drug detoxification programme on our detoxification pages.
Residential addiction treatment
Inpatient (residential) addiction treatment provides you with much-needed structure, round-the-clock care and monitoring, as well as removing you from the negative influences and temptations of your usual daily life. Treatment includes twice-weekly meetings with your allocated consultant psychiatrist, intensive therapy, ongoing nursing and medical care, and multidisciplinary team input.
At Woking, we offer a holistic approach to addiction treatment, integrating a variety of therapy models, theories and techniques, and we also provide access to regular 12-Step fellowship meetings, tailored to cater for the nature of your individual addiction. During therapy sessions, the underlying reasons and triggers for your addictive behaviours will be explored, and an additional area of focus will be on providing you with strategies and tools during our relapse prevention workshops, enabling you to manage situations and events post-treatment, continuously improve your lifestyle and ensure a positive future.
At Woking, we understand that the thought of being admitted to hospital as an inpatient can be quite daunting. However, we are committed to delivering a comprehensive package of psychological, physical and practical care, enabling you to tackle your addiction, and make a full and sustainable recovery. Addiction treatment at Woking truly is a life changing experience.
