Rehab and Recovery | A glimpse into a success story | UKAT

David McCormack's story is a journey of descent into drug addiction that started with casual, recreational use. Initially using drugs only on weekends, he eventually found himself using them seven days a week, illustrating how quickly recreational use can lead to dependency. David describes feeling trapped in a cycle with limited escape options – prison, death, or self-destruction due to excessive drug use.

The availability of drug addiction treatment in the UK has long been a pressing issue. Overstretched resources, insufficient funding, and a growing number of people seeking help have strained NHS rehab services, particularly in regions like the North West, where Runcorn is located. This lack of accessible treatment has contributed to a high local death rate of nearly three people per day due to drugs. Fortunately, David received funding for six months of private drug rehab at UKAT's Oasis Runcorn Centre, an opportunity he credits with saving his life.

Faith Noone, the Centre Manager at Oasis Runcorn, believes that David's success story should serve as a lesson for local authorities about the effectiveness of residential rehab programs. While most government funding for addiction recovery focuses on outpatient community detox, Noone argues that this approach is a "false economy." She accuses local authorities of neglecting the true extent of the drug addiction challenge and favoring outpatient treatment primarily because it is cost-effective. However, she emphasizes that this cost-saving approach often sacrifices the comprehensive support and structured environment that residential care offers. Noone believes that prioritizing budgets for residential drug rehab could significantly reduce drug-related deaths across the North West and the rest of the UK.
