While drug rehab can have many small aims, the main aim is to understand why it became such a central part of life and to replace that reliance with healthier ways of coping and living.
What is drug rehab?
At its heart, drug rehab is a structured process that helps you step away from the cycle of use and rebuild with support. It works on two levels: addressing both the physical dependency and the psychological grip drugs can have. Through detox, therapy, and relapse prevention, you begin to create a foundation strong enough to hold long-term recovery.
Which rehab setting is best for drug addiction?
Drug rehab can take place in different settings, with outpatient and inpatient being the two main routes. Outpatient means living at home while attending scheduled sessions, whereas inpatient means staying at a dedicated centre for the duration of rehab treatment.
Both have a role, but when it comes to drug addiction, the setting can make a bigger difference than many realise.
Inpatient rehab removes distractions entirely by placing you in a safe, focused environment where recovery becomes your full priority. Living within a supportive community also reduces isolation, replacing it with encouragement and connection.
For these reasons, inpatient rehab is the option most often recommended for drug addiction. It offers not only protection from relapse during the early stages but also the stability needed to make meaningful, lasting change.
What types of drug rehab programmes are available at Recovery Lighthouse?
With so many different types of drugs in circulation, from illegal substances to prescribed medications, treatment needs to recognise that each one poses unique challenges.
At Recovery Lighthouse, we provide tailored rehab options that reflect these differences, giving each person a route to recovery that suits their needs. Below are examples of the programmes we offer and how each is shaped to support recovery:
How long does drug rehab last?
One of the most common worries about rehab is not knowing how long it takes. Without clear answers, it’s easy to delay making a decision, and sometimes that hesitation alone prevents recovery from even starting.
At Recovery Lighthouse, our programmes vary depending on your needs. Some people benefit from shorter stays, while others require more time to complete the entire process. There’s no fixed timeline because every addiction and every person is different.
Having said that, the most common programme lengths are:
- 10 days
- 14 days
- 21 days
- 28 days
- 42 days
- 56 days
- 84 days
- 90-day
There’s also the option to extend your stay if you feel you need extra time before returning home.

What to expect from your stay in inpatient drug rehab
It’s easy for someone to say rehab isn’t scary, but when you’re the one considering it, reassurance alone doesn’t always quiet the fear. While no two experiences are identical, most inpatient programmes follow a similar structure that helps bring calm and consistency to the process.
- Group therapy
- One-to-one counselling
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT)
Each method brings unique strengths, and together they create a balanced approach that supports long-term recovery.
Planning for the future and aftercare
As your stay draws to a close, the focus moves to what comes next. You’ll work with your therapists to build a plan that helps you manage cravings and stay grounded once you return home.
Our aftercare programme allows you to continue this connection beyond rehab, reinforcing what you’ve learned and strengthening your confidence as life moves forward.
