Residential Detox Treatment: Inpatient Detox from Drugs, Alcohol and Prescription Medication
Residential Detox Treatment
PCP offer specialist and professional residential detox for alcohol and all types of drugs, for those suffering from abuse, addiction and dependence. We provide a range of addiction treatment services, including expert care for those suffering from dual diagnosis, behavioural addictions, and prescription drug addiction. We are able to facilitate ‘medically assisted withdrawal’ at all of our treatment centres. In Luton, we have a purpose-built 6-bed detox unit on the same site as our rehab centre. In each location, we work with a specialist detox doctor who assesses new patients upon arrival and prescribes a comfortable detox according to the needs and preferences of the individual.
The addiction treatment process begins with initial assessments to understand each individual’s needs, ensuring personalized care throughout their recovery journey. Individuals can access treatment for drug rehabilitation services through our comprehensive programs, which include both outpatient and inpatient options.
Detoxification time can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the substance of abuse. Alcohol detox usually lasts between 10-14 days and opiate detox generally lasts 14 days. PCP can also do methadone reduction programmes as well as benzodiazepine and stimulant detoxification, the duration of these ‘assisted withdrawal’ regimens will vary depending on the severity of dependence. Understanding alcohol addiction as a health condition is crucial for effective treatment. We offer a variety of alcohol rehab services to support recovery. Our alcohol treatment programs provide specialized support to address both physical and psychological aspects of dependence. For those facing drug addiction, we offer tailored drug treatment plans to meet individual needs.
PCP Doctors and staff work to the NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) protocols and use nationally recommended assessment tools to assess the severity of dependence and to monitor symptoms of withdrawal, meaning that all clients have the required medical intervention to safely become substance free. Our inpatient treatment programs offer an immersive experience, providing comprehensive care for all aspects of addiction recovery. These inpatient treatment programmes include a range of therapeutic activities to support recovery.
PCP employ dedicated Addiction Recovery Nurses to ensure that all detoxes are monitored and medications are administered as per the instructions of the prescribing doctor. Staff are available around the clock to monitor and support patients during this process. The significance of mental health in addiction recovery cannot be overstated, as underlying conditions often contribute to addictive behaviours.
We like to call our detox ‘therapeutic’ in that during the detox phase of treatment, we encourage individuals to engage in the programme as much as they are physically and emotionally able to, as light movements around the building and participation in groups can distract the person from any potential withdrawal symptoms and makes the process more comfortable for them. Outpatient therapy offers flexibility for those unable to commit to residential stays, though it may not provide the same comprehensive treatment experience as inpatient programs.
A residential detox is clinically the safest method of substance withdrawal available. Whether it’s alcohol or drugs that you are addicted to, we can help you stop within the safety of our residential detox clinics and a medically controlled and supported detox. The recovery journey involves emotional challenges, and community support plays a vital role in overcoming these hurdles.
Detoxing from alcohol and drugs in the community is both challenging and very uncomfortable; not many succeed as a result. There is constant temptation all around, withdrawal symptoms are poorly managed and there is little in the way of professional support to help you through the process. Our rehab service offers personalized care to help individuals find the right treatment options for their recovery.
PCP offers both affordable and luxury residential detox programmes. Whatever your treatment needs are, we will ensure that these are met physically and psychologically so you can detox as comfortable and safe as possible. Our residential rehabilitation services provide comprehensive care, ensuring safety and quality throughout the process.
Those that undergo a professional residential medical detox have a far higher chance of successfully completing their detox than those who attempt to detox in the community. Addressing substance addictions involves various stages of treatment, including detoxification and therapy.
Benefits of our residential detox programmes include:
24/7 medical and therapeutic support
Professionally prescribed medical detox to relieve and control withdrawal symptoms
A comfortable, supportive and temptation-free environment
Counselling and therapy is provided throughout your detox
Each detox is individualised according to your medical and psychological needs to ensure your safety
The opportunity to undergo a comprehensive, bespoke alcohol and drug rehab treatment programme
You will leave our residential detox care alcohol and drug-free!
We strongly recommend that for long term recovery to be sustained, a full rehabilitation programme is undertaken once residential detox is completed.

What is Inpatient Detox?
Inpatient detox is a specialised detoxification program where individuals reside in a facility while undergoing the detox process. This approach provides 24-hour care and access to medical staff who can attend to any urgent health needs that may arise. Inpatient detox centres offer a safe and supportive environment, making it easier for patients to navigate the often challenging initial phase of addiction treatment. This type of program is typically the first step in the continuum of care for those seeking to overcome drug or alcohol addiction, ensuring that they receive the necessary medical and emotional support from the very beginning.
Benefits of Inpatient Detox
Inpatient detox offers numerous advantages that significantly enhance the addiction treatment process:
24/7 Medical Supervision and Support: Continuous medical oversight ensures that any complications during detox are promptly addressed, providing a safer detoxification experience.
Safe and Supportive Environment: A residential setting removes external temptations and distractions, allowing individuals to focus entirely on their recovery.
Access to Medication and Treatments: Medications and other therapeutic interventions are readily available to manage withdrawal symptoms effectively.
Individualised Treatment Plans: Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific medical and psychological needs.
Comprehensive Approach: Inpatient detox addresses the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of addiction, offering a holistic treatment experience.
High Level of Care: The intensive support provided in an inpatient setting is unmatched by outpatient programs, ensuring a higher level of care and attention.
Counselling and Therapy: Individual counselling and group therapy sessions are integrated into the program to address mental health and provide tools for managing addictive impulses.
The Inpatient Detox Process
The detox process is a carefully structured approach designed to ensure safety and comfort while managing withdrawal symptoms. It typically involves the following steps:
Medical Assessment: A thorough evaluation of the patient’s physical and mental health needs is conducted to tailor the detox plan.
Medication Management: Appropriate medications may be prescribed to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and ensure a smoother detox experience.
Monitoring: Continuous monitoring by medical staff ensures that any complications are promptly addressed, and the patient’s comfort is maintained.
Counselling and Therapy: Therapeutic measures, including individual counselling and group therapy, are introduced to support mental well-being and equip patients with strategies to handle addictive impulses and potential triggers.
This structured approach ensures that patients receive comprehensive care throughout the detox process, laying a solid foundation for their recovery journey.
Types of Addiction Treated
Inpatient detox is versatile and can be used to treat a wide range of addictions, including:
Drug Addiction: Effective for those addicted to prescription medications, illicit drugs, and other substances, providing a safe environment for detox.
Alcohol Addiction: Offers a structured setting for individuals to undergo alcohol detox and begin their recovery journey safely.
Substance Addictions: Addresses addictions to various substances such as opioids, cocaine, and methamphetamine, with tailored treatment plans.
Gambling Addiction: Provides a comprehensive approach to treating gambling addiction, focusing on both the psychological and behavioural aspects.
Inpatient Detox vs. Outpatient Detox
When considering addiction treatment options, it’s essential to understand the differences between inpatient and outpatient detox:
Inpatient Detox:
24/7 Medical Supervision: Ideal for those needing constant medical attention and support.
Severe Addiction: Recommended for individuals with severe addiction requiring intensive treatment.
History of Relapse: Beneficial for those who have relapsed or found outpatient treatment ineffective.
Co-occurring Disorders: Suitable for individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders needing comprehensive care.
Outpatient Detox:
Mild Addiction: Suitable for those with less severe addiction that can be managed with regular treatment sessions.
Strong Support System: Effective for individuals with a robust support network who can manage their addiction outside a residential setting.
Flexible Schedule: Allows individuals to continue working or attending school while receiving treatment.
Less Intensive: Provides a more flexible approach but may lack the intensive support of inpatient programs.
By understanding these differences, individuals can make informed decisions about the most appropriate addiction treatment for their needs.
Aftercare and Support
Completing an inpatient detox program is a significant achievement, but it’s just the beginning of the recovery journey. Aftercare and support services are crucial for maintaining long-term sobriety. These services may include:
Outpatient Counseling and Therapy: Continued access to professional counselling helps address ongoing mental health needs and provides support.
Support Groups: Participation in groups like 12-step programs offers community support and shared experiences.
Medication Management: Ongoing management of any prescribed medications ensures continued physical health and stability.
Relapse Prevention Planning: Developing strategies to handle potential triggers and prevent relapse is essential for sustained recovery.
Family Therapy and Support: Involving family members in therapy can strengthen the support system and improve overall recovery outcomes.
Addressing factors beyond physical dependence is vital for long-term recovery. Individual counselling, group therapy, and other therapeutic measures provide the tools needed to manage addictive impulses and maintain a healthy, sober lifestyle. Choosing a reputable and licensed facility for inpatient detox is a crucial step towards a healthier, sober life.
