Addictions can affect everyone and they will only get worse over time. The negative effects that come with addiction are not pleasant. This is why it’s so important to reach out for help at the first signs of addiction.

How Can An Addiction Affect Me?

The most concerning part of addiction is the impacts that it can have on your health and wellbeing. Drugs and alcohol are very dangerous substances and they can cause a lot of damage to your body and your brain. This means that addictions can affect both your physical and your mental health.

Alcohol and drugs can change the structure of your brain and alter the way it works. Substance abuse can also put a lot of pressure on your vital organs and may cause certain deficiencies, malnourishment, and may even lead to some life-limiting conditions.

The effects of long-term substance abuse can be both physically and psychologically challenging and can reduce your well-being, quality of life, and your overall health.

Some other things that are concerning about drug and alcohol addictions are the legal implications that may arise, the financial strains, the social problems, and the behavioural changes that come with an addiction to substances. Challenges and certain sufferings are very common with long-term addictions and this is why you are encouraged to seek help for your addiction as soon as possible.

In order to recover from addiction and its effects, you will need professional drug and alcohol rehab treatment for the best and safest results. In rehab, you will also learn how to prevent relapsing in the future.

Healing is very necessary and you can achieve this type of essential healing through a professional drug or alcohol rehab programme.

 

How Does An Addiction Start?

Addictions usually start out quite innocentlu, although there may be some warning signs early on. Some people may try a certain drug with a friend or others may start having a drink or two to de-stress after work. These actions can all seem quite innocent at the time. However, these can very quickly develop and get out of control.

Although not everyone that tries a drug or drinks alcohol will ultimately become an addict, others do. There are several factors that may increase a person’s likelihood of developing an addiction. These include the following:

  • Frequently binge drinking
  • Poor mental health
  • A family history of addiction
  • Past traumas
  • Hanging around with friends or family members that use drugs or alcohol
  • Experimenting with drugs or alcohol

 

Will Rehab Cure My Addiction?

Rehab is extremely beneficial for people who are suffering from addictions. When you’re in rehab you are able to remove yourself from any triggers or harmful environments which may have previously stopped you from making a recovery. You’ll have a safe and secure environment where you can focus completely on your recovery and wellbeing.

When you’re in rehab, you will be taught coping mechanisms to address your drug or alcohol addiction. This is a vital part of your recovery. You will feel safe and secure in rehab where you will be surrounded by supportive people who are there to encourage and motivate you every step of the way.

Throughout your time at one of our drug and alcohol rehabs, you will undergo a personalised treatment programme which will work to treat your triggers. This means that you will receive the best physical and psychological therapies which will suit you individually, based on your circumstances.

Counselling is one of the most important elements of rehab. Talking therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy have been proven to be one of the best ways to help someone overcome their addiction.

People often abuse substances and develop addictions as a result of trying to self-medicate mental health issues or childhood traumas. Your talking therapies can really help you to understand the root of your addiction and learn how to overcome it.

Drug and alcohol detox is also an extremely important aspect of rehab treatment. This is where you will tackle the addiction physically and remove all of the harmful substances from your body.

All of the chemicals from alcohol or drugs will be flushed from your system while special attention is made to treat the withdrawal symptoms. Some of the withdrawal symptoms during your detox can be quite severe, so a medical professional may prescribe medications to help make you feel more comfortable during this detox stage.

Rehab can get your old life back and can help you build an even better life for yourself. Your physical and mental health will improve greatly after rehab treatment, as well as improvements in your relationships.

Whether this is a relationship with your family, your parents, your partner or your friends. You will learn how your addiction has affected them and how you can move forward from this.

It can be nearly impossible to keep a good relationship with loved ones if you are experiencing a drug or alcohol addiction. So this is a very important benefit of going through a rehab recovery treatment plan.
