Addiction will be experienced differently by each one of us due to factors such as our personality, our mental health, our physical health, the extent of the abuse, and of course, the substance we are abusing. The uniqueness of your experience of addiction needs to be taken into account when considering treatment. In other words, it is not so much about finding out which is the best rehab in Bournemouth but about finding the best one for you.

One of the challenges you may face when looking for rehabs in Bournemouth is finding an affordable option. Government funded treatment is becoming much harder to qualify for, and it looks as if this situation is only going to worsen in the future. Even though, we hear in the news about parts of Bournemouth, such as Boscombe, being ‘swamped by addicts’, the funding is not available to tackle addiction problems. This often means our best chance of recovery from addiction is to choose a private rehab

Even with a number of rehabs in the Dorset area, you may still be faced with a waiting list. This is particularly likely to happen if you are being selective about where to go – which you should be. The problem with waiting is you may lose your motivation to quit and you will continue to suffer the consequences of active addiction.
