A Guide To Alcohol And Drug Detox And Rehab In Berkshire

Every district in the county of Berkshire offers addiction support services for its residents. Those who are seeking help can be referred by their GP or health worker, though most agencies also operate a drop-in or self-referral system. All addiction service agencies, whether private or NHS-funded, provide free a assessment before working with you to determine the best possible treatment plan. More serious cases of addiction are usually referred to inpatient rehabilitation facilities, while less severe cases are offered outpatient treatment. Some addicts may choose to refer themselves to private centres, away from their home, in order to focus on recovery without the distractions of their previous routine. Liberty House Clinic is a great place to go to to receive those services and more.

Berkshire, as a ceremonial county, has no county council. As a result, all administrative affairs are handled by separate offices in the different districts that make up the county. Each district offers addiction recovery and support services to its residents, usually through partnerships between the district, the NHS Trust, and private service providers. Visit your district office or website for more information on addiction services offered in your region.
