Drug Detox | PCP (The Perry Clayman Project)

PCP Luton Reception

Drug addiction can quickly take control of every aspect of life, affecting physical and mental health, relationships, and personal stability. Detoxing is often the critical first step in overcoming drug and alcohol addiction. When physical dependence develops, attempting to stop drug use without medical support can be dangerous and often unsuccessful. At PCP, we provide specialist drug and alcohol detox services and addiction treatment in a safe, supportive environment at our CQC-registered facility in Luton, Bedfordshire, helping clients from across the UK begin their recovery journey safely.

We offer a range of detox services tailored to individual needs.

Every client receives a comprehensive assessment to ensure their treatment plan addresses all underlying factors contributing to addiction.

I cannot speak highly enough of the work done at PCP Luton. When my wife entered rehab, we were in a very dark place. We had suffered over a decade of chronic alcohol abuse, and she was declining rapidly. There didn't seem any hope for the future. After 12 weeks of work with Andy, Amanda and all of the staff, she was able to commit to the programme, understand her behaviour and rebuild herself. She has come out a new person, and we now have a future where anything is possible. Thanks, all of you

We wanted to write a review as parents, as our son was an addict and went to PCP Luton for his treatment. This has been a traumatic experience for all family members however the professionalism of staff has overwhelmed us enormously and we cannot thank them enough, they've guided us every step of the way their kindness and understanding has been invaluable. Although the participation of treatment was tough we are forever grateful towards the team members. Especially Andy Kalli and Amanda to name a few. They helped us immensely and we couldn`t have done it without them, they have continued to stay in contact with the entire family providing aftercare calls after his departure. The process has been extremely successful and although this has been a life changing experience, we still understand that there must be rigorous and diligent work on his behalf to be completed. We are thrilled and overjoyed to have our loving and exuberant son back, we are extremely obliged and deeply indebted to PCP and we will be forever grateful to the amazing team! Thank you!

I have just completed a 3 month residential programme at PCP and can't thank them enough. I have tried many times to get clean and sober and after spending a short time at PCP last year I decided to check in for 12 weeks. Andy Amanda and the team tailored a programme to suit my needs which included weekly support for my wife and family, helping them to understand addiction and supporting them through the process. I have attended daily 12 step meetings and have left treatment having completed the 12 steps working with a sponsor. I trusted myself to PCP and had to hand over my care to them and listen to what they were telling me I had to do to stay clean and sober.

What Are the Signs You Need Drug Detox?

Recognising when professional drug detox is necessary can be life-saving, as both physical and psychological symptoms may indicate the need for expert intervention. Attempting to detox at home from certain substances can be dangerous.

  • Physical symptoms: Sweating, nausea, vomiting, shaking, headaches, insomnia, muscle aches, rapid heartbeat

  • Psychological symptoms: Severe anxiety, depression, mood swings, intense drug cravings, irritability, confusion, panic attacks

  • Dangerous withdrawal signs: Delirium tremens, seizures, extreme agitation, hallucinations, breathing difficulties – these require immediate medical attention

  • Behavioural indicators: Ongoing drug abuse leading to the need for detoxification, inability to stop drug use despite wanting to, using drugs primarily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, multiple failed attempts at self-detox, continuing use despite harmful consequences

While many physical symptoms may subside after detox, psychological dependence can persist and often requires ongoing therapeutic support to address the mental and emotional aspects of recovery.

How Long Does Drug Detox Take?

The drug detox process is a medically supervised procedure that typically takes 7 to 10 days, though duration varies significantly depending on the substance, length of use, and individual health factors to ensure safety. Some substances like benzodiazepines may require longer detox periods due to extended withdrawal syndromes and the physical aspects of withdrawal, while others like opioids generally follow more predictable timelines. Your detox timeline is personalised based on comprehensive medical assessment, ongoing evaluation, and personal circumstances such as your health status and substance use history. It’s important to understand that the detox process is often the initial phase before longer-term addiction treatment and recovery programmes.

Who Is This Treatment For?

  • Individuals experiencing dangerous withdrawal symptoms when trying to stop drug use independently

  • People who have attempted home drug detox unsuccessfully or unsafely

  • Those with severe physical dependence on prescription drugs, illegal substances, or multiple addictive substances, as well as those facing a wide range of substance use issues

  • Individuals with underlying mental health or medical conditions that make withdrawal risky

  • People seeking a medically supervised start to their addiction recovery journey, with a program designed to support individuals throughout the detox process

  • Family members wanting professional medical support for a loved one’s detoxification from active addiction

  • Families who recognize the importance of family involvement in supporting a loved one’s recovery, strengthening relationships, and contributing to long-term success
