Drug and Alcohol Rehab East Ham
Overcoming addiction is an incredibly difficult task. When drug and alcohol addiction takes hold, it refuses to let go and many people are unable to begin a new sober life. Addicts often feel alone and the shame of their addiction stops them from reaching out.
Asana Lodge exists to help those that need it. With our industry-leading treatment and experienced, dedicated staff we are committed to providing the best addiction treatment available.
If you are ready to reach out for help then Asana Lodge is a great place to start your recovery journey and lead a life free of alcohol and drug addiction.
Finding a Drug and Alcohol Rehab in East Ham
Looking for a rehab local to East Ham is most likely your first instinct when seeking addiction treatment. This is completely natural as some people feel more comfortable being closer to home during treatment whilst others prefer to move away for a time. There is no correct answer and it is best to do what feels right for you. Only when you are fully invested and comfortable will you seriously engage with treatment, making it worthwhile.
There are many services available in East Ham whether it be from the NHS or local organisations. If you don’t know then you should contact your GP to get advice on the next steps to take.
If you would prefer to get away to a private drug and alcohol rehab then Asana Lodge may be the place. Located in rural Northamptonshire, our picturesque location is perfect to make a dramatic change in your life. Residential treatment provides an effective method of addiction care and gives you the best chance of achieving long-term recovery.
So, while your initial instinct may be to stay close to home, exploring options further afield can yield results better suited to what you need.
Rehab Clinic Referrals with Asana Lodge
At Asana Lodge we offer several admissions services to help you or a person you know to get the help they need.
Self-referral
If you have come to the realisation that you have a serious addiction and need help then that is a massive step. You may be overwhelmed but if you get in touch with our admissions team, we can help you begin the journey. The self-referral process is simple and if spaces allow it, we can have you in our facility within days of your initial enquiry.
Family referral
We understand it is difficult to watch a loved one go through addiction. Our admissions team are experienced and will help you through the steps of getting a family member into treatment. Alongside our family referral service, we can offer family members ongoing support and offer a family intervention service if strong action needs to be taken.
Employer referral
If you are concerned about an employee then Asana Lodge can help you get them the treatment they need with our employer referral service. Alongside supplying you with treatment options we can also help with budget and timescales – giving you all the information you need to make an informed decision. Armed with a greater understanding and a plan, you as an employer can approach your employee about treatment. Coming from you, this request may be taken more seriously and end with a positive outcome of them accepting treatment.
Home Detox vs Medical Detox
The first step of any recovery is detoxing. You may be tempted to go cold turkey at home, believing your addiction is mild and you can easily withstand the withdrawal symptoms. If your drug and alcohol intake is mild then it may be possible to safely taper off and manage to detox successfully at home.
To taper off successfully you’d need to go slow to ensure there are no severe side effects including hand tremors, sweating, nausea, hallucinations, seizures, depression, irritability, restlessness, and insomnia.
However, if you begin to experience more severe symptoms then medically assisted detox may be the only path for you. In a facility such as Asana Lodge, you can detox under the care of medical professionals and take medication to ease the worst of symptoms. Medical detox also brings with it a lower relapse rate as the process is more thorough and there is no way you can start drinking or taking drugs again whilst you are in the clinic.
Our Therapies at Asana Lodge
Asana Lodge implements a combination of individual therapy, group sessions and wellbeing therapies to form a cohesive and rewarding rehabilitation experience.
With individual sessions, you will work with a qualified therapist to better understand your addiction, its source and how you can better cope in the outside world. Evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) will help you better understand how you process emotions and improve your problem-solving skills.
Group therapy allows you to meet and connect with other clients at Asana Lodge, and through common experiences help each other to move through your respective recovery journeys. In these sessions, it is the hope that you will make connections and build a support network that could last beyond our doors.
Our wellbeing therapies are more about self-care and improving your state of mind as you work through more taxing therapy sessions. Taking part in yoga, music therapy and massages will relax you and benefit your mental health.
Beyond our more regular regime, we offer mental health treatments for those who need them. At Asana Lodge, many people come to us with concurrent mental health conditions. For those people we offer dual-diagnosis treatment. In tandem, you can work through your separate issues that have become closely linked.
Relapse Prevention with Aftercare
The threat of relapse hangs over every person that leaves Asana Lodge. It’s a sad fact that some people relapse and this is more likely to happen to you in the first year of being clean. It may also be more likely to occur if you don’t engage with aftercare.
Asana Lodge offers a free 12-month aftercare package where you can continue the good work you began with us. Through weekly support meetings you can build on the support networks you forged in rehab and know that you are not alone in your struggles.
Aftercare is a great tool in relapse prevention and it can help you lead a more rewarding, addiction-free life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does rehab last?
A typical programme with us at Asana Lodge usually takes around 28 days – that programme includes drug or alcohol detox. After this period, you will be physically sober and hopefully feel ready to return to your normal life. Some people can afford to stay in rehab longer and programmes can run up to 12 weeks in some facilities. What is important is that you pick the programme that suits your circumstances and recovery goals.
How beneficial is residential rehab for mental health?
Residential rehab can provide a chance to get away from the issues of everyday life. Having the chance to take some time for yourself, get the help you need and engage in a thorough therapeutic programme will boost your mental health greatly. At residential rehab, you will be surrounded by people willing to help and guide you and you can see that you are not alone in your struggle.
What is a medically assisted detox?
Drug or alcohol detox is the process of slowly and safely removing the harmful toxins from your body caused by substances. Medication is administered to help ease the worst of the withdrawal symptoms you will experience when detoxing. It is a safe process and gives you a much better chance at long-term recovery, rather than going cold turkey.
