Free/NHS Addiction Treatment Options in/around Essex

Generally, services provided by the NHS for treating alcohol and drug addiction are not as comprehensive or specific enough to meet the demands required for successful recovery. Most of the treatment is delivered in the community, where you’re likely to still be within close proximity of alcoholics and drug users, who are still actively engaged in substance abuse.

In addition, NHS funding for private rehab is difficult to secure; you’ll doubtless face lengthy waiting lists before you can even be considered for approved funding. During the process, you could have to continuously prove that you are highly motivated to beat your addiction, which can be difficult due to the physical and psychological effects of drug dependence.
