How to Know When You Need Drug Rehab

Recognising drug addiction is the first step in the recovery process, but it can be difficult to separate a dependence on drug use from recreational use. This is made worse if drug misuse has been normalised or downplayed due to denial. With that in mind, here are some of the things to look out for if you’re worried about your drug use.

  • Losing control: If you can’t stop using, even after multiple attempts to quit, it might be time for professional help.
  • Withdrawal symptoms: Experiencing physical or psychological withdrawal symptoms when you try to stop using drugs can be a sign of dependence and may require medical assistance.
  • Neglected responsibilities: If your drug use is causing you to neglect important responsibilities at work, school, or home, such as consistently missing work or school, failing to meet deadlines, or neglecting relationships, it may be a sign that your drug use is interfering with your daily life.
  • Health problems: Drug abuse can lead to various health issues, both physical and mental. If you’re experiencing deteriorating physical health, frequent illnesses, mood swings, depression, anxiety, or other mental health problems related to your drug use, seeking professional help is crucial.
  • Financial difficulties: If you’re experiencing financial difficulties because you’re spending a large portion of your income on drugs or engaging in illegal activities to obtain drugs, it’s a strong indicator that you need assistance.
  • Relationship issues: Drug abuse can strain relationships with family, friends, and partners. If your drug use is causing conflicts, broken relationships, or a loss of social support, rehab may be necessary to address these issues.
  • Failed attempts to quit: Multiple unsuccessful attempts to quit or reduce drug use on your own might indicate the need for structured residential rehab treatment.

If you think you have a drug addiction, it’s vital that you seek medical intervention. Drug addiction treatment can come in a number of forms; however, one of the most effective ways of recovering is by staying in a residential rehab.

What to Expect at Rehab for Drug Addiction

Drug addiction is treatable, and there are a number of different treatment options available with Rehab Clinics Group. While every recovery journey is different, when choosing one of our drug rehab centres, there are typically four steps in the process.

Admission Process

Taking the first step into being admitted to one of our drug rehab centres can be difficult, especially if it’s your first time seeking rehabilitation.

Our admissions team are available for free and confidential consultations over the phone 24/7 to provide you with information and advice about our drug rehab centres.

If you’re looking to stay in residential drug rehab, our admissions team will conduct a pre-admission screening to establish the severity of your drug addiction, as well as physical and mental health assessments.

Remember, our team are there to support you, so questions in this initial assessment of the admission process are designed to help us understand your addiction and develop a personalised addiction treatment plan to support a stable recovery journey that reflects your needs.

Detoxification Treatment for Drug Addiction

Many rehabilitation programmes for drug addictions offer medically assisted drug detoxification. This works to rid your body physically of the drugs so you can focus on rehabilitating your psychological health afterwards.

All our clinics are able to offer a full medically assisted detox programme with specific medications that are designed to ease withdrawal symptoms experienced during drug detox.

Some withdrawal symptoms can be uncomfortable, especially if you’re detoxing from hard drugs that you’ve been abusing for a long time. That being said, the chance of relapse occurring during the first week is much more probable if you’re doing it alone.

During detox in our rehab clinics, you can receive 24/7 support from our team of expert medical/therapeutic professionals, complemented by our experienced team of support staff. We understand it can be intimidating, so don’t let it ruin your chances at recovery; speak to us today to find out more about detoxing and how we can help you manage it.

Drug Addiction Therapy

Upon successful completion of your medically assisted detoxification from drugs, you will move on to intensive therapy sessions that will help you gain better control of the psychological side of your addiction.

Substance abuse can be a complex problem, as the diagnosis of how it developed could be down to a number of different factors, meaning it isn’t simple to pinpoint. It is for this reason that drug rehab is tailored, and there is a range of holistic therapies that can help address your addiction from every angle.

Our team of therapists and psychologists will carry out numerous therapies, from individual therapies to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), to help identify the root cause of your problem and determine how you can most effectively control your addictive behaviours and maintain abstinence from drugs upon successful addiction treatment at one of our clinics.

Our drug rehab centres also give you the opportunity to take advantage of a range of well-being therapies and holistic therapies, such as art therapy, meditation, and sleep-management therapy.

To add to the intensive therapy you undergo with our therapists and psychologists, you will also partake in regular group therapy sessions. These sessions are very helpful as you will be around other individuals who are also undertaking private rehab.

This will give you an insight into what others are feeling in their own personal journeys whilst also sharing your own struggles and achievements, which can be a great source of comfort and motivation for anyone undertaking a drug rehab programme.

Drug Rehab Aftercare

During your time at our drug rehab centres, we offer long-term solutions to help support a lasting recovery. However, when you return to your usual setting, it’s likely you’ll be faced with past triggers and temptations.

To support you after rehabilitation, our drug rehabs offer 12 months of aftercare to ease you back into everyday life. We do this by helping you understand the nature of your drug addiction and what triggers you need to look out for to prevent relapse.

The purpose of an aftercare plan is to make sure that when you leave the clinic, you will still have access to help. Each drug rehab centre will have its own aftercare programme, but it will typically consist of meetings being held once a week.

We also find local AA meetings and local NA meetings in your area so that you can have a range of aftercare options and visit them more than just once a week.
