At Nadcell, we understand that attending residential rehab is not always possible. That is why we have dedicated ourselves to establishing an effective outpatient program designed to wean you off alcohol through a safe and reliable process.

Not only is our outpatient set-up safe and reliable, but it is also flexible and affordable, making it accessible to anyone needing help.

Outpatient Alcohol Rehab And Inpatient Alcohol Rehab

The outpatient treatment is very similar to inpatient treatment, except that you stay in your own home (or local accommodation that we can help organise), except coming into the clinic for daily treatment and counselling. This offers less supervision than a rehab centre or similar, but also more flexibility and the option to stay at home (or a local B&B or hotel) if you need it.

Typically, inpatient treatments will occur in a residential rehab centre, lasting between 30 and 90 days. During this period, you will go through a medically supervised alcohol detox, followed by extensive one-to-one therapy sessions, as well as attending group sessions with your peers.

Outpatient clients tend to receive less intensive treatment. Instead, you will be required to attend all necessary for an inpatient program, but you will do it through regular on-site appointments with our team at Nadcell.

Is An Outpatient Alcohol Rehab Program Effective?

An outpatient program’s effectiveness depends on you. It would be the same if you were to attend an inpatient program. An outpatient plan has the necessary steps to help you get sober. As with anything else, you must meet it halfway to experience the effect that you are looking for. If you are ready to get sober, then that is what will happen.

According to the Butler Center at Hazelden Betty Ford:

• 88.64% of people who complete treatment remain alcohol-free after one month
• 85% to 95% of people who meet their program are substance-free nine months after rehab

Is the Nadcell Outpatient Program Flexible?

Yes, our team at Nadcell can support your situation so that we can make a plan that applies to you. As the only outpatient alcohol detox clinic of its kind in Scotland, never mind just Glasgow, we really are an amazing option for people looking for alcohol treatment. There are many reasons why people cannot attend residential rehab, whether financial, family or work commitments or perhaps the intense structure of the inpatient rehab program just isn’t suited to you.

We can offer all the same treatments as a residential rehab but at a pace that can suit your lifestyle, finances, family or work commitments.

What Kind Of Alcohol Treatments Is There?

At Nadcell, we have all the treatments to help you wean from alcohol safely and effectively.

Medical Alcohol Detox

Before any of the groundwork in getting to the root of why you drink, it is vital to detox your body from any alcohol so that you can attend in-person day rehab sessions with a clear head.

What Is Involved In A Medical Detox?

We have experienced doctors and nurses who will talk you through which medicines you will receive while ensuring that your medical detox is specifically designed to meet your current needs. In addition, our doctors will observe and supervise your detox journey to ensure your safety.

How Can I Get A Medical Detox For Alcohol?

Alcohol addiction is a deadly disease that requires immediate attention. At Nadcell, we can provide a private consultation, treatment, and prescription to help you get sober quickly. Our doctor will perform a medical assessment and discuss your treatment options depending on your medical history, living situation, symptoms and any concerns you might have.

If you are suitable and need a medical detox, a prescription will be made for you. This prescription must be taken according to the doctor’s instructions, and it is helpful if you have someone to help you, as this can be a challenging time for anyone. The doctor and our counsellors will check in on your progress, and you can call at any time for help and advice or come into the clinic for assistance.

What Happens Once I Am Detoxed From Alcohol?

We pride ourselves on the details. We have several avenues that can help you get stronger physically and mentally.

Rehabilitation Treatments

Counselling Sessions

We provide personal care, such as counselling sessions that help you find ways of understanding the psychological side of your addiction and the triggers involved.

After detox can be emotional because you are sober for the first time in a long time. It can be daunting. At NADcell, we have qualified and experienced alcohol counsellors available through our NAD+ clinic, so you can talk things through and find ways to help you maintain sobriety.

In-Person Day Rehabilitation (Dayhab)

As well as providing appropriate care for the psychological side of addiction, we also offer treatments that target the physical trauma caused by alcoholism. That is why the team at Nadcell feel that it is essential to the body’s recovery to include treatments that can help the body rejuvenate itself. One of those treatments is to restore the body’s functions by providing vitamin and mineral infusions as part of our treatment that helps repair damage caused by years of alcohol abuse.

As well as other inpatient treatments, including:

Vitamin & Nutrient IV Treatment

One of the advantages we have over almost all rehabs in the UK – whether they are inpatient or outpatient – is that we are registered to administer intravenous (IV) vitamins and minerals. Sometimes called drips and shots, our infusions and injections allow our clients to restore their bodies and brains much quicker than simply taking oral supplements. We offer NAD+ infusion therapy. Research has shown that NAD+ is highly beneficial for those who drink too much in helping to repair the negative effects of alcohol misuse.

Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (TES) Therapy For Alcohol Detox

Transcranial Electrical Stimulation therapy may sound scary, but TES is a non-invasive treatment for pain management and mood and behaviour improvement.

TES is effective in the recovery from everything from brain injury to depression and alcohol dependence. At Nadcell, we have found that TES has been effective for our clients in finding temporary pain relief without medication.

Satori Chair Therapy

The Satori chair is one of the holistic therapies we offer as part of our outpatient care in our NAD+ clinic. The satori chair provides sonic frequencies that help promote relaxation, meditation, sleep, and rest.

Even though detox is a step towards alcohol recovery, it is hard on the body; therefore, it can be exhausting to process withdrawal symptoms.

Satori chair therapy allows you to relax and rest between medication, NAD+ therapy and TES therapy or counselling sessions. In fact, some clients have found the satori chair valuable in helping them absorb findings in recent counselling sessions.

If you feel ready to take that first step by acknowledging your addiction, please call us now for your free initial consultation about our NADcell alcohol detox treatment plan.

Our team will happily answer any questions you have about our outpatient program.

Alcohol support – NHS (www.nhs.uk)

If you live in Glasgow, or anywhere in Scotland for that matter, you’ll be aware of the levels of chronic alcohol consumption we suffer here. According to the Scottish Health Survey 2021, around a quarter of Scots drink hazardous or harmful amounts every week (more than 14 units).  If you are alcohol dependent and part of these statistics, you probably have a strong desire to drink alcohol often. This is normally because your body has become used to lots of alcohol and needs it to function. Now, this may seem like the most obvious sentence ever written, but this means that you cannot stop the consumption of alcohol without seriously affecting your health and, perhaps, endangering your life.

It is common for those who misuse alcohol to be unaware of the dangers of withdrawing from alcohol. However, knowing the risks of detoxing without trained medical professionals is essential.

What Are The Risks Of Alcohol Withdrawal?

The worst-case scenario of uncontrolled detox is severe illness and death. Other potential complications include (DT’s) delirium tremens, characterized by hallucinations, mental confusion, and disorientation.

Typically, withdrawal symptoms will show around 3 to 8 hours after your last drink as the effect of the alcohol wears off. So, even if you are ready to take steps to stop drinking, it is often difficult because of the alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

Alcohol addiction is one of the most challenging diseases, so we have ensured you have the best available treatments. All of our treatments and services are performed and managed by our experienced team at Nadcell.

Why Choose Nadcell Alcohol Detox?

Our detox programme is led and designed by leading medical experts in the field and round-the-clock observation from highly trained nursing practitioners. We feel it is a necessity to reduce the alcohol level through measures that are deemed safe and effective.

Why Should I Consider An Alcohol Detox Programme?

When it comes to talking about alcohol detoxing, it can put many people off as they do not want to experience withdrawal.

If you are serious about giving up alcohol, the only way to do it safely and properly is through one of our alcohol detox programmes; it is vital in helping alleviate cravings. Any alcohol that is in your system will be removed, providing you with a clean slate for recovery.

In our experience working in addiction rehab, completing an alcohol detox will prepare you for the degree of aftercare services available through our NAD+ clinic.

Despite fears regarding withdrawal, medical detoxes are designed to make the withdrawal process as safe and comfortable as possible.

What Makes The Alcohol Detox Safe And Comfortable?

An alcohol detox consists of medications used to counter withdrawal symptoms, such as Benzodiazepines, sometimes called benzodiazepines a class of depressant drugs. Benzodiazepine is essential in curbing the symptoms of alcohol detox, which can include anxiety, sweating, shakiness, vomiting, fast heart rate, and mild fever.

Another counteractive treatment used in alcohol detox is Thiamine, a vitamin, an essential micronutrient, that cannot be produced in the body. Therefore, it is critical for the body’s recovery to be replenished with crucial vitamins and nutrients, as they have been depleted through years of alcohol abuse. Stabilizing the body with relevant supplements will help it return to normal functioning.

An experienced medical team supervises our alcohol detox. Our team is there to monitor you and help you avoid unnecessary discomfort or life-threatening withdrawal complications.

If you are interested in a medical detox but have concerns regarding your health and safety, please call our team now, and we can answer your questions.

How Long Does An Alcohol Detox Take?

It depends: with some people, the withdrawal symptoms can subside four or five days after their last drink, but an entire medical detox process can take up to 10 days.

Even after withdrawal symptoms have been and gone, the body may take longer to absorb the vitamins and prescription medications to rebalance properly.

It is important not to rush the process, as the body is vulnerable during and after detox.

Where Will The Detox Take Place?

Our medically managed alcohol detox takes place at our Nadcell clinic in Glasgow.

We follow strict guidelines of tested and approved regulations to improve your physiological state faster, increasing the chances of staying alcohol-free during detox.

Why Is It Important to Treat My Alcohol Addiction?

If you are consuming high quantities of alcohol daily, or even if you are dependent on alcohol to get you through the day, then you need to understand the damage that alcohol is causing. Unfortunately, every human being ever to exist has had severe side effects from alcoholism, including mental health issues.

Aside from your general health, alcohol abuse can reduce your quality of life by affecting your relationships, career prospects and finances. You may be reading this right now thinking that it is impossible to stop drinking, it is easy to feel that you can’t do it, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

It is possible to stop drinking and start a new life. So many people we have dealt with over the years have achieved sobriety, so many that it is beyond the point of counting, and you can too.

If you are ready to end your alcohol addiction by completing our leading addiction treatments, such as our alcohol detox programme in Scotland, and following our advised steps to addiction recovery, in that case, you are on your way to a sober life.
