Drug rehabilitation (often drug rehab or just rehab) is an umbrella term for the processes of medical and/or psychotherapeutic treatment for dependency on psychoactive substances such as alcohol prescription drugs and socalled street drugs such as cocaine heroin or amphetamines. The general intent is to enable the patient to cease substance abuse in order to avoid the psychological legal financial social and physical consequences that can be caused especially by extreme abuse. Some people will not need any further help following rehabilitation but some might need to have a different programme of rehabilitation or longterm services to help them stay in their own homes.

If ongoing help is needed a Care Manager will arrange this for you. Understandably some of our service users who still need some longterm support can feel disappointed to find that the careers who provided their rehabilitation service cannot provide this.
