Alcohol Rehab Birmingham

Welcome to PROMIS – an alcohol addiction treatment centre with two locations in London and Kent. We believe in providing communities across the UK with resources in their areas to help them find recovery solutions from alcohol. With over 35 years of expertise in the field of addiction recovery, join us and discover the path to a refreshing, alcohol-free future.

Understanding Alcoholism

Alcoholism is a condition that affects people from all walks of life – regardless of their gender, social status, or background – it’s a severe condition that can have serious implications on physical and mental health, social relationships, and family dynamics.

Alcoholism goes beyond a casual drink or a way to unwind after a long day – an addiction to alcohol becomes a chronic disorder when a person becomes reliant, both physically or chemically, on alcohol in order to function or feel ‘normal’. However, this can lead to health issues, anything from liver disease to mental health conditions and even death.

The problem is that society accepts drinking alcohol, sometimes even at the binge drinking and alcohol abuse level, which rightfully causes some concern regarding where we draw the line to where drinking is enjoyed as a pass time and it becomes a full-blown addiction.

Social drinking is part of the culture in the UK – there’s no denying that – however, the lines can get blurred from time to time, and we can’t always pinpoint when there’s a problem. With that said – when alcoholism is evident or has been recognised – the social stigma attached to alcohol addiction often stands in the way of those who are searching for treatment.

For this reason, so many people suffering from alcohol use problems either deny or prolong their diagnosis through fear of social backlash from peers, even though friends and family members may have highlighted the issue in the past.

Understanding alcoholism, how it begins, or acknowledging the issue, is the pinnacle of the disease that allows those struggling with this chronic problem to reach out for help and support through the means of alcohol addiction treatment.

The Alcohol Addiction Problem in Birmingham

As a whole, the alcohol problem in the UK on a national level raises some concerns when we look at some of the data and alcohol statistics from the most recent NHS reports. Although there are various factors that contribute to the issues with alcoholism in the country, part of the problem lies in the accessibility and affordability of alcohol.

The fact that it’s readily available at supermarkets, pubs, and off-licenses means that alcohol is easily obtainable. Also, stats show that alcohol has become 72% more affordable in the UK since 1987, further exacerbating the problem of accessibility.

Regarding hospital admissions, both narrow measure and broad measure statistics are recorded; however, according to the NHS, the narrow measure data provides a more precise indication of the alcohol problem due to it being the primary reason for hospital admission – broad measures are based on secondary diagnoses linked to alcohol.

For that reason, we will only highlight narrow measures, although these figures also speak volumes about the alcohol epidemic and the burden created for our valued NHS.

Between 2019/2020, as a nation, the UK witnessed roughly 280 thousand hospital admissions – 2% higher than the previous year and 8% higher than the one before – representing a whopping 1.6% of ALL hospital admissions. The majority of these, 23% to be exact, were aged between 55 and 64, and from the total amount, 65% were male patients.

For alcohol-related prescriptions, a total of 167 thousand items were dispensed between 2020/2021 – that accumulates to 137 thousand items of Acamprosate Calcium, 28 thousand items of Disulfiram, and 1,000 items of Nalmefene. In terms of alcohol-specific deaths, that is, explicitly caused by alcohol, 8,974 were recorded in 2020 – an 18.6% increase compared with 2019 – with the main cause attributed to alcohol liver disease. But what does this look like for Birmingham?

Local Stats for Addiction in Birmingham

Hospital Admissions: Around 500-650 per 100 thousand population.

Prescriptions Dispensed: Between 100-150 per 100 thousand population.

According to the UK Government, it is estimated that roughly 13,443 people in Birmingham have an alcohol dependence problem – that’s 1.58% of the adult population. Although this may not seem like a high percentage, the numbers speak volumes about the density of the issue and raise alarms that call for the need for addiction treatment in Birmingham.

Our addiction treatment programme is more than a series of procedures; it’s a pathway to renewed life, offering hope and support at every stage. At our rehab programme, we strive not only to treat but to empower, preparing our clients for a future free from the constraints of alcoholism.

Alcohol Detox

The alcohol detox process at PROMIS is a critical first step in the journey towards recovery. In our state-of-the-art rehab facilities, we provide a medical detox that is both safe and effective, ensuring that our clients undergo withdrawal with the utmost care.

Our approach to detoxification focuses on minimising discomfort and addressing the physical challenges associated with alcohol withdrawal. We use detox medication under strict medical supervision, tailoring the treatment to each of our patient’s needs. This ensures that the detox process is not only medically sound but also compassionate, recognising the physical and emotional challenges of withdrawal.

Our dedicated team works closely with each client, offering support and expert care throughout this crucial phase, laying a strong foundation for the subsequent steps in the addiction treatment journey.

Alcohol Detox at Home

At PROMIS, we understand that the journey to recovery is personal; for some, it begins in the comfort of their home. Our Home Detox service is designed to provide a safe and effective way to manage withdrawal symptoms outside a traditional rehab facility.

This outpatient treatment option includes professional medical supervision to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the detox process. It involves a thorough assessment by our medical team, followed by a carefully planned detoxification protocol that may include detox medications.

This approach is supported by regular check-ins and ongoing support from our team, ensuring that individuals receive the necessary care and guidance throughout their detox journey.

Our expert team supports each step of the way, facilitating a journey to sobriety and toward a renewed sense of self and well-being.

Mental Health Treatment

Our approach to mental health treatment within the rehab process is integrative and holistic, focusing on treating co-occurring disorders alongside alcohol dependence. We recognise that mental health issues often underpin addiction, and addressing these is key to successful recovery.

Our treatment plan includes a range of therapies designed to manage mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD, which frequently accompany addiction.

Our dedicated team of mental health professionals provides personalised care, ensuring each client receives the appropriate treatment tailored to their specific needs. This dual-focus approach is crucial in helping individuals achieve lasting recovery and overall well-being.

Aftercare

Aftercare is a crucial component of the recovery journey at PROMIS. We understand the path to sustained sobriety extends beyond the initial treatment phase. Our aftercare programme is designed to support clients as they navigate life post-rehab.

This service offers ongoing support and resources to help manage the challenges after leaving the rehab environment. It includes access to therapy sessions, support groups, and continued contact with our care team. This continuous engagement is essential for maintaining the progress made during the treatment programme and reinforcing the coping strategies and skills learnt during rehab.
