Finding Local Alcohol And Drug Rehab Treatment in Cumbria

According to the Cumbria Alcohol and Drug Advisory Service (CADAS), between March 2016 and March 2017, the most commonly abused substance in Barrow was alcohol, which was closely followed by cannabis. Cocaine came in third, making up 11% of substance abusers at CADAS. Heroin made up 8%, while psychoactive substances referred to as ‘legal highs’ accounted for 7%.

In August 2017, Barrow was said to have one of the highest numbers of drug-related deaths in the UK. This all goes to show that substance abuse and addiction is becoming an increasingly prevalent problem in Cumbria. Fortunately, if you or a loved one are abusing (or addicted to) any drug, a number of private treatment facilities and rehabs are available throughout Cumbria.

The sooner you get professional help for addiction, the better. This is because, for every minute addiction goes untreated, the condition only worsens and increases the possibility of you suffering long-term physical or mental health complications. At a private rehab centre, your addiction and general health will be evaluated before a proper course of treatment is recommended to help you make a full recovery.

We strongly suggest you do not attempt quitting a substance addiction on your own, as the resulting withdrawal symptoms that will follow may endanger your health if improperly managed. Aside from private rehab facilities, there are also NHS options in Cumbria that can help with your addiction.

Get proper addiction treatment today and regain control of your life.

Free/NHS Addiction Treatment Options in Cumbria

For individuals who cannot afford private rehab, there’s always the option of NHS addiction treatment. NHS addiction treatment is usually free of charge and available to everyone in Cumbria, whether you’re located in Copeland, Allerdale, Carlisle or elsewhere.

However, NHS addiction treatment has some shortcomings. For instance, it could take a while to access, as there is usually a waiting list. Furthermore, your treatment might not be referred to a residential rehab centre and access to a personal therapist may be limited. You could also have to visit numerous clinics for different addiction therapy and treatment. If you would prefer quick, personalised, and hassle-free treatment for your addiction, NHS options will likely fall short.
