Luxury Rehab | Benefits and What to Expect

When we first think of a luxury getaway, we’re more than likely to picture an opulent holiday. Potential options that come to mind may be a hot summer getaway – lounging on a beach near a glistening pool or a sunset skyline in the distance. Or you may be imagining a mountain break, a cooler, crisper atmosphere with stunning views. The idea of medical treatment might seem to completely oppose this – sterile hospital beds, sharp smells and white clinical surroundings. However, with numerous luxury rehab options available, addiction treatment can exist somewhere between the two. With luxury rehab, the key components of medical intervention are married with holistic extras – all set against the backdrop of a serene locale.

Luxury rehab

‘Luxury rehab’ typically refers to a clinic or rehabilitation centre that offers additional perks or comforts for clients during their stay. This could take many forms depending on the clinic that you select. ‘Luxury’ is usually associated with increased comfort, a sense of sumptuousness, and, inevitably, an increased cost. But what is the purpose of a luxury rehab? And what do these extras have to do with the effectiveness of medical treatment?

How does it work?

Luxury rehab largely functions in a similar vein to other forms of addiction rehab. This is because the ‘base’ or key rehab structure treatment can often take a similar shape. Most rehabs are structured in a similar way because addiction support is typically modelled on certain medical approaches and concepts that are established in the medical field. Addiction medicine is research-led, meaning that any form of support you access is usually directed by data and findings collected by experts in the field.

The difference between luxury rehab and other standard options is that luxury centres often boast additional extras. These extras may appear enticing and pleasant to have, but they are often available not only to please the crowd. They are often available due to the ways that they can foster a sense of relaxation and improved wellbeing. Luxury rehabs offer additional ways of creating a feeling of calm in those crucial early stages of treatment. This can help to alleviate the complex swirl of emotions that can unfold when first accessing interventions. When beginning treatment, a lot of people can experience a wealth of new feelings, leading them to tackle:

  • Grief
  • Guilt
  • Embarrassment or shame
  • Anger
  • Anxiety
  • Sadness
  • Denial

This can feel very confronting and overwhelming. This makes it crucial to take necessary steps to achieve a sense of calm. The extras available at luxury rehab, therefore, can assist you to feel more balanced and confident whilst starting to engage with the recovery process.

The goals of rehab

Accessing rehab begins before you step foot in a clinic. Treatment begins at the very first contact with a rehab provider. In these early stages, you may feel nervous and overwhelmed. It is important to understand that the enquiry, assessment and admission processes are designed to prioritise your wellbeing. These stages are present to ensure that you are safe and that you are accessing the most appropriate course of treatment for you.

During an initial enquiry, you will be able to discuss:

  • Your current needs
  • Treatment options
  • The cost of luxury rehab (including breakdowns of costs and payment details)
  • Scheduling admission
  • What to expect during your health assessment

When you are admitted to rehab, you will be able to tour the centre in order to get a feel for your surroundings. You will also be provided with a welcome pack that should provide you with all the information you need for your stay. A healthcare provider will conduct a health assessment with you. This will include a psychological and physical screening to check that you are fit and safe. Following this, you will be asked to give any prescription medications to the team to take care of for you.

If you are dealing with an addiction to a substance, then you are likely to undergo a detox. This means that your experience of rehab after admission will include three key phases:

  1. Detoxification
  2. Rehabilitation
  3. Aftercare

Detoxing

If you are undergoing a detox, then your detox plan will be discussed with the healthcare professional who conducts your initial health assessment. The duration of a detox is very personal and will depend on your current situation. You may be provided with medication in order to support you during the detox phase. This medication can ease difficult withdrawal symptoms.

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is the core of addiction treatment and refers broadly to any therapy you engage with during your stay. At Linwood House, therapeutic support consists of a mix of:

  • 12-Step Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Art Therapy
  • Group Therapy
  • Skills Based Therapy

Up to two therapy sessions will be available daily during the course of your treatment.

Aftercare

At Linwood House, we are proud to offer 12 months of complimentary aftercare following residential treatment. This aftercare can allow you to continue your life outside of the centre whilst still accessing specialist support in the early stages of active recovery.

Luxury addiction rehab: The benefits

Luxury rehab is not for everyone, but it is hard to ignore its benefits. Luxury rehabs can help to burgeon a greater sense of relaxation, as they can allow you to:

  • Exercise in open spaces
  • Spend time in nature
  • Use open, comfortable indoor spaces
  • Access new forms of holistic support, such as art therapy
  • Minimise personal responsibility
  • Establish self-care routines
  • Find new hobbies

This does not mean that luxury rehab is an easy experience. Regardless of the setting, rehab can sometimes feel difficult. Luxury rehab does not fully change this, but it can offer a deeper level of relaxation to aid you in these crucial early stages of recovery.
