There is only one option for medical treatment during drug detox in Neath Port Talbot, and it’s a centre located in Port Talbot. You should think carefully about your options before you make a decision, because it’s more important to receive the level of care you need than to find a centre located close to home. Inpatient detoxification is medically supervised, and may be required in more severe cases and for anybody who’s relapsed in the past.
The centre for drug detox in Port Talbot also has satellite centres located in Ystalyfera, Resolven and Croeserw. They help users of any age (with a specialist service for young people) and have harm reduction facilities such as needle exchange, advice on safe sex and blood-borne viruses. The only psychological treatment they provide is structured counselling, which helps users identify the underlying issues which drive them to take drugs. This is offered on both a one to one and a group basis. Advice and information relating to drugs and practical concerns such as education, training and employment is also available.
Outpatient detoxification is available at the centre for drug detox in Port Talbot. The centre works with a GP to prescribe any required medications to be picked up from a local pharmacy. They can refer users who need it on to a different facility for inpatient treatment, but don’t provide it on-site.
