Drug and Alcohol Rehab Dunbar

If you’re suffering from drug and alcohol addiction or maybe you know someone who struggling to overcome their substance abuse, either way, it’s crucial that you seek out the help of a professional treatment centre urgently. The longer you leave drug and alcohol addiction untreated, the worse it will get; you have to receive professional substance abuse treatment to fully overcome this awful disease. You need to break your physical and psychological connections with drugs or alcohol, whilst this may seem impossible right now, we can assure you that our drug and alcohol rehab Dunbar has helped countless people recover from alcohol and drug abuse.

Identifying a drug and alcohol addiction

Throughout our years of experience, we frequently see people in denial about their drug and alcohol addiction. This is so common because it’s a natural reaction to avoid accepting what’s perceived as a weakness when so many people still attach a stigma to substance abuse. When it comes to alcohol or drug abuse, excessive abuse can quickly lead to life-changing problems, both physically and psychologically. The toxins within drugs and alcohol are so harmful to our bodies and our minds, it’s impossible to avoid these devastating effects.

Whilst substance abuse will impact every person differently, you may notice a pale or unwell appearance, sudden weight loss or weight gain, bloodshot eyes, vomiting, increased anxiety and depression, memory problems, increased stress, paranoia, and skin sores. In addition to this, you’ll also be at a heightened risk of developing heart disease, liver disease, diabetes, stroke, bipolarity, loneliness, or even contemplating suicide.

If you’re concerned that a loved one could be suffering from drug and alcohol addiction, then you may notice a breakdown in their relationships with friends and family or a drastic change in their behaviours. They may have received warnings from work/school or even a dismissal, they may also be experiencing financial difficulties as they struggle to fund such an expensive addiction. It can be very difficult to watch someone we love to go through such a terrible thing and not fully understand how we can best help them. At our drug and alcohol rehab Dunbar, we offer intervention services as well as friend and family referral services should you need them. These services are very popular and have proven to be extremely useful in helping the person who needs professional support understand that their addiction isn’t only impacting themselves but also everyone around them.

Substance abuse treatment therapies

Following a bespoke addiction treatment plan that’s been tailored to your needs can make a huge difference to the success of your overall recovery. We’ll make sure that you receive a holistic approach to your addiction treatment by including a carefully selected mix of psychological therapies alongside therapies which take care of your general well-being.

Some of our recommended psychological therapies include relapse prevention, psychotherapy, individual or group counselling, stress management, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), whereas are frequently suggested well-being therapies are low level laser therapy, yoga, nutritional therapy, mindfulness, relaxation and sleep management, fitness therapy, music therapy, and art therapy.

Drug and alcohol detoxification process

All of our client’s substance abuse treatment plans are personalised, although it’s highly likely that we’ll recommend a drug or alcohol detox for most people. Detoxification is the most effective way to gradually reduce your consumption of the substance in a safe and controlled way. With the 24/7 supervision of our addiction specialists, you can safely complete a detox, removing the harmful toxins from your body giving you the opportunity to cleanse.

We know that a drug and alcohol detox can be unpleasant, this is usually linked to the withdrawal symptoms that commonly present themselves as you reduce your drug or alcohol intake. Whilst these can range from mild nausea to severe delirium tremens (the DT’s), they are manageable with the help of our excellent team.
