No facilities offer specialist services during drug detox in Bridgend, so you’ll have to travel to Port Talbot or Barry (in the Vale of Glamorgan) to find treatment. You might not want to travel so extensively, but receiving appropriate medications is absolutely essential when you’re going through withdrawal. It’s also important to ensure that the centre provides lasting psychological support, because addiction itself is a mental issue rather than a physical one.
The only centre which offers help during drug detox in Port Talbot is a harm reduction centre which can help users of any age. Outpatient detoxification is available, during which withdrawal management or substitute medicines are prescribed through a local GP, and they can refer those who need it to inpatient treatment. Structured counselling provides psychological support, and harm reduction services such as needle exchange work to reduce the risks for anybody who continues to use. Satellite centres are available in Ystalyfera, Resolven and Croeserw.
The centre for drug detox in Barry is a counselling centre which helps anybody aged 16 or over. Structured counselling is the main service they provide, but they also have day programmes available and can provide residential treatment. Inpatient detoxification is available, and this is included as part of the residential programme. This provides round the clock medical support during detoxification, so medications can be administered as and when needed.
