Drug and Alcohol Misuse in Chester, Cheshire
Chester, Cheshire is home to nearly 120,000 residents. The historic Roman town is well known for its architecture and rich history. However, like other towns in the UK, there are growing concerns for the heavy consumption of alcohol, as well as, drug misuse.
In Chester, Cheshire, alcohol use is an acceptable form of entertainment, and one could even say it is part of the local culture. However, frequent drinking comes along with a future burdened by illnesses, including cardiovascular disease, liver disease, and cancer. The mental and emotional effects are equally devastating, as is the development of a dependence. For local Chester families, alcohol dependence can result in relationship problems, domestic abuse, financial distress, and impoverishment. The entire community may be affected by crime and disorder that is fueled by anti social behaviour and the alcohol use. Unfortunately, these concerns are all to common in the small residential town.
According to the most recent Alcohol Strategy, 83 per cent of the community, over 18 years of age, consume alcohol and approximately 29 percent of local residents consume alcohol at a level that could affect their health. Numbers like these are well above the national average of 17 per cent. The data suggests 1 in 20 people are admitted to the emergency room because of consuming alcohol; this totals to 2,038 admissions between 2015 and 2016. Sadly, at least 173 people lost their life due to alcohol misuse.
In terms of drug use, the most recent Drug Misuse Joint Strategic Needs Assessment, there is an estimated 8.4 per cent of residents between 15 and 59 years of age who have used an illicit drug within the last year. For those who are 16 to 24 years of age, the number of users increase to 18 per cent. That being said, cannabis use is the most common followed by powder cocaine and ecstasy. Approximately 1,619 men and women use, and are likely addicted to opiates or crack-cocaine. The assessment did note that younger people, or those who are under 24 years of age, are less likely to take drugs. However, offenders, homeless, sex workers, victims of domestic violence,veterans, and a growing number of older people are at most risk for drug use and dependency.
Finally, in Chester, Cheshire, there were 1,485 men and women who sought treatment for drug dependency; of these 830 patients were addicted to opiates. Even though drug misuse is less than the national average, it is suggested that the rates of unsuccessful treatment is higher than the rest of England. This could be related to limited treatment services provided by the NHS and free organisations.
Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Chester, Cheshire
If you are living in Chester, Cheshire, drug and alcohol rehab programmes are available in the form of free and paid-for treatment. The differences between the two are vast. For example, although the NHS treatment is very good, it is unable to offer each and every person the individualised attention that will likely be needed in order to successfully reach a stable point of sobriety. Furthermore, there is a waiting list to get into an NHS Chester drug and alcohol rehab. This time varies from 3 weeks to 2 months or more. You will need to get a GPs referral which can also take some time. Unfortunately, when it comes to getting help for an addiction, time is of the essence and may be something you don’t have.
A private rehab in Chester, Cheshire generally does not have a waiting list nor do you need a referral. You will also gain access to a broad range of effective therapies, including CBT, psychotherapy, counselling, holistic therapies, and more. These therapies will provide you with individualised attention and seek to break the mental and emotional cycle of a substance addiction.
Private rehabs will require you to pay for the treatment, or utilise private insurance coverage. In Chester, Cheshire, drug and alcohol treatment can cost between 800 and 3,000 pounds per week. If this cost is too high, or you would like to get help in a new environment, you should consider an international private rehab, such as Siam Rehab.
