However, addiction treatment is available at home
Rehab centres are a vital part of our social service.
Addiction treatment is critical for those afflicted by addiction, as their illness has a devastatingly adverse impact on them, their family, friends and the wider community.
It saves lives and contributes to the general wellbeing of the social fabric.
Rehabs have taught countless addicts and addicts how to change their behaviour patterns completely. From impulsivity to a more balanced and measured way of life.
Rehab centres have helped them redesign their lives. They learnt to act with humility, tolerance, acceptance and compassion.
They have learnt to identify their shortcomings and manage their cravings. In short, they have reclaimed their lives from the depths of a seemingly hopeless condition.
It’s not just the individuals, but their family members found new joy and freedom.
The lifelines are diminishing
Sadly, rehab centres across the UK are closing in large numbers during the pandemic.
In the last seven years, the number of rehab centres has almost halved, as indicated by the UK Addiction Treatment Group.
This year 20% of rehabs have closed, at least temporarily, leaving just 94 open across the country.
Almost a third of publicly funded drugs rehab centres have closed in the last five years, reports Sky News.
Addiction treatment is still available
While state-funded residential facilities may be closing, affordable addiction treatment continues to be available across the country.
