Understanding the Pros of Private Addiction Rehabilitation
When weighing up whether or not private addiction rehabilitation is right for you, there are both pros and cons to consider. At New Leaf Recovery, some of the pros of private rehab include:
Shorter wait times
Unlike public rehab centres, private rehabilitation provides clients with a much shorter wait time for admission. At New leaf, we aim to accommodate all clients as quickly as possible, helping you to get the help you need for a brighter future.
Wider choice of rehabs
When self-funding rehabilitation, you have a wider choice of rehab centres, including residential options depending upon your requirements.
New Leaf Recovery is a residential private rehabilitation centre in Birmingham, offering addiction support for clients from across the UK.
Immersive rehab – away from temptations
Most private rehabilitation centres are residential, meaning that clients who choose this option will get a much more immersive experience. They have the option to take themselves out of temptations way, and away from their daily lives. This can often make rehabilitation easier, removing obstacles during the detoxification process in particular.
Clients at New Leaf Recovery spend time with their peers, and members of the team, learning more about themselves, their addiction and techniques that can help them in their recovery without distractions from the outside world.
Higher success rate
Often, for those who have undergone rehabilitation in a private centre, you will find that there are higher success rates overall. This is due to the desire and drive behind the individual’s rehabilitation and recovery. Those who self-fund rehab is often looking for this step towards a better future.
Medical detoxification process
At New Leaf Recovery, our detoxification process is a medical detox process. With our local GP, we are able to help clients through this difficult stage of rehabilitation, giving medical assistance as required.
Life skills acquired
At New Leaf Recovery, we believe in helping our clients through rehabilitation, but also providing them with life skills that can follow them into their daily lives. These skills can include being able to better control your emotions, enjoy a healthier diet and take time for self-care.
Supportive environment
Within our residential rehabilitation centre, we aim to provide a fully supportive environment for all clients, not only from our team, but also from peers. Each client is undergoing rehabilitation for their own struggles, but everyone is in the same position with that, regardless of the addiction. Finding support amongst like-minded people can be another help with personal growth and recovery.
Aftercare support
With private addiction rehabilitation, you will be offered additional aftercare support following the completion of your residential stay. This gives all clients an opportunity to continue their recovery journey with ongoing support.
Families are included as part of the process
We believe that families are an important part of rehabilitation. This is why at New Leaf Recovery, we give guidance to family members during this rehabilitation process, as well as giving clients an opportunity to meet with their families through their stay (on longer durations).
Maintaining or rebuilding healthy familial relationships is a key factor in maintaining sobriety post-rehabilitation.
Flexibility in length of stay
With private addiction rehabilitation centres, you will often find a much more flexible approach to the length of rehabilitation. At New Leaf Recovery, we offer clients detox and rehabilitation from 7 days through to 28 days, with flexibility to meet your needs and budget.
If you are looking for additional support in finding the right private rehabilitation centre for you, speak to New Leaf Recovery today. Our team is on hand to help you get the best treatment.

The Cons of Private Addiction Rehabilitation
Sadly, when it comes to private addiction rehabilitation, although there are numerous pros to this option, there are also a couple of cons to consider:
Private rehabs are self-funded
Unlike public rehabilitation centres, when going private, you will be required to self-fund your detoxification and rehabilitation. To find out more about what this will cost, speak to our team at New Leaf today. We are able to help you understand the costs associated with our residential care and can discuss your budget in more depth.
Families may provide funding, reducing your choice
With the need to self-fund private addiction rehabilitation, there can often be a need to find support from family members in order to get the funding. For some, this may reduce the options you have due to the level of funding you can get. It is important to discuss all options with those helping to fund your rehabilitation beforehand.
If you are considering private rehabilitation for your addiction, speak to our team at New Leaf Recovery today. We are here to help and support you and your family members, giving you the best opportunity at long-term recovery.

Understanding Public Addiction Rehabilitation Pro’s
As an alternative to private rehabilitation centres, there are public options available. As with private rehabs, public rehabilitation does have some pros to consider when weighing up options:
It is free and can be funded by the Government
It is important to note that no rehabilitation centre is an NHS rehab. They are all funded by Government means if you have been successfully referred to a public rehabilitation centre.
What this option does mean is that you do not have to self-fund this rehabilitation. For those who do not have funding, this may be an option to consider. Speak to your local GP to find out more about getting a referral for addiction rehabilitation.
Local drug and alcohol services will prepare you mentally and physically before entering rehab
Often, before you are given a placement in a public rehabilitation centre, you will have undergone some form of preparation and met the eligibility criteria. Your local GP can guide you further on this process.
The Con’s Associated with Public Addiction Rehabilitation
As with all forms of treatment, there are cons as well as pros to consider. With private addiction rehabilitation, the cons to consider may well outweigh the positives:
You may have to detox beforehand to show willingness
Unlike private rehab centres, when being assigned funding for addiction rehabilitation, you may be required to show a willingness to attend beforehand, starting to reduce your consumption on your own.
You may need to attend appointments and groups before admission
In order to again show willingness to attend funded rehabilitation, clients may be required to attend appointments and groups before admission. This will show a willingness to attend rehabilitation and utilise the tools and treatments for long term sobriety.
Waiting lists can be lengthy due to a lack of funding for those who apply via the NHS
Unfortunately, waiting lists can be lengthy for those who are seeking funded rehabilitation. This is due to the number of people seeking this option. In the long term, the lengthier wait times can have a detrimental impact on your health and mentality.
You may not meet the criteria for public rehab which can prevent you getting the care required
In order to gain successful funding for public rehabilitation, you must meet certain criteria that is set out. For many referred patients, this can mean that they fail to receive the care required for their addiction problems, as they are not able to meet criteria’s.
As this is not often residential, people are not removed from the daily temptations of drugs and alcohol
Many public rehabilitation centres are deemed as ‘outpatient’ settings, meaning patients come and go on a daily basis. Although they are getting the rehab that they need, it does not remove them from the temptations of daily life. This can sometimes lead to clients easily giving way to these temptations, making rehabilitation harder in the longer term.
There is no guarantee that you will be allocated a place in public rehab
Because there are a high number of referrals for public addiction rehabilitation, there is no guarantee that you will be given a place in a rehab clinic. This again can be detrimental to the health and wellbeing of patients in need of treatment.
Mental health is not treated within addiction rehabilitation settings, they are dealt with as two individual things
Although mental health and addiction rehabilitation are two different aspects of treatment and care, often in private rehab centres, you will find that staff work to improve mental health and wellbeing of clients, as well as their physical and emotion wellbeing. In public rehabilitation centres, mental health concerns will not be addressed when addiction rehabilitation is the purpose of your funding and placement.
Funding is often given to those who struggle with alcoholism, cocaine or heroin addictions due to the severity of their risks and dangers for individuals and society. This can make it much harder for many individuals to gain the treatment that they need for their addiction struggles, leading to detrimental impacts on health and well-being.
