Emergency Addiction Rehab

Emergency rehabilitation is a term used to cover a huge range of scenarios where a person requires urgent rehab. In many cases, they can’t wait to be admitted to a clinic through the NHS, where it could take months, or even years to get a place on a programme. Instead, the situation is acute, and rehabilitation is required right now. 

Here are some of the most common reasons that a person may need access to emergency rehab: 

• Physical Danger/ Issues – Medically, there are signs that they are in extreme physical danger from their addiction. Signs of malnourishment may be present, or overdoses could have occurred by accident, or even on purpose.
• A Rapid Breakdown – The person may have experienced a rapid ‘unravelling’ of their life where their addiction has caused job loss, relationship breakdowns and even criminal incidents.
• Danger – The person may be repeatedly putting themselves into dangerous situations through their addiction.
• A Positive Intervention Outcome – A person may have responded well to an intervention and before their willingness to get help fades, urgent rehab is sought.
• Facing Loss – Perhaps you’ve been faced with the loss of your job, or your partner, or even access to your children – this can cause a desire to seek immediate help to prevent things getting any worse.
• Recognising Addiction – Some people want to get help as soon as they realise they have a problem with addiction. 

It’s important that you know that none of the above reasons are more or less valid. Ultimately, if a person requires urgent rehabilitation services, they deserve to access those services as soon as possible, and Infinity Addiction Solutions can help ensure that happens. Regardless of why you call our friendly team about emergency rehab, you’ll be treated with the same care and consideration, and connected to the services you need. 

Are you trying to seek help for a person you know who is struggling with addiction? 

Many families and friends find themselves feeling utterly helpless faced with a loved one who is falling further and further into the grips of addiction, all whilst you wait on the sidelines watching them fade away. Oftentimes, relatives and friends notice an issue long before the person with the addiction is aware they have a problem, but addiction is powerful and even the strongest people aren’t always ready to face their truth. Things can get acutely challenging before a person is ready to recognise the danger they are in, and the damage they are causing themselves and loved ones through their addictive behaviours. 

Of course, it is not hopeless, and the very fact you are seeking solutions for your loved one is a really strong sign that the person suffering from addiction still has a chance of recovery. All is not lost and sometimes, we all need a little help saving ourselves from what can feel like a situation that is inescapable and so powerful that it cannot be beaten. 

Of course, nobody can be forced into emergency rehab, but they can be actively encouraged with your help and our guidance and expertise. 

If you have finally persuaded them to seek help, we can be right on the end of the phone to connect them with the help they need. We also offer intervention services with a drug and alcohol interventionalist and experienced counsellors. They can help you approach your loved one in a way that is bespoke to their individual needs, an approach that gives your friend, your brother, your Mum, your daughter, the best possible chance of taking the helping hand reaching out to them and actively choosing to go into emergency rehab.
