Drug and Alcohol Rehab Gravelly Hill

Our years of experience in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has shown us how difficult it can be for people to accept that they have an addiction for which they need support. It’s very common for people suffering from an addiction to alcohol or drugs to be in denial about their condition and to try to hide their symptoms from loved ones.

Although this is a very difficult thing to admit, acknowledging your addiction so that you can begin the process of recovery, will help you remove substance abuse from your life for good.

You may be reading this if you’re concerned about a friend or family member who is suffering from addiction to alcohol or drugs. Again, this can be an uncomfortable conversation to have but one that could potentially save their life; therefore, we really do encourage open conversations.

If you suspect that someone is suffering from substance abuse or you need support yourself, below are some common signs and symptoms to look out for.

• Have any of your relationships with your loved ones been negatively impacted by your addiction?
• Are you experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you’re not consuming alcohol or drugs?
• Have you missed a significant event because of your addiction?
• Has your physical or mental health been damaged as a result of your addiction?
• Do you consume alcohol or drugs all day every day?
• Have you lost control over your substance abuse?
• Are you experiencing constant cravings for your next ‘fix’ of alcohol or drugs?

Residential Rehab for Substance Abuse

When beginning your search for drug and alcohol rehab centres, one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is whether you’ll join a residential rehab clinic or receive addiction treatment as an outpatient. The main difference between them is that as an outpatient, you’ll remain to stay at home whilst visiting our drug and alcohol rehab Gravelly Hill each day to receive your addiction treatment.

As an inpatient undergoing residential rehab, you will stay at our rehab clinic overnight until you have completed your treatment programme. Each method has its own benefits, one may be more suited to you than the other.

Although residential rehab might not be everyone’s preference, it’s important to note that this method of treating addiction to alcohol or drugs has proven to be the most successful. This is likely because a residential rehab centre is a very positive and recovery-focused environment for you to undergo your treatments with constant support.

Whereas if you were an outpatient, you wouldn’t benefit from this immersive experience. You’d also be more exposed to negative influences which could distract you from your recovery process and potentially lead to a drug or alcohol relapse.

Addiction Therapies offered at Rehab Clinics Group

With a wide variety of addiction therapies available at our drug and alcohol rehab Gravelly Hill, we recognise the importance of variety to ensure you receive the therapies which will benefit you most.

Most of our clients will begin their stay with a drug or alcohol detoxification, gradually reducing your consumption of the substance in a controlled setting to minimise any risks and to reduce the discomfort of withdrawal symptoms. It’s very risky to attempt a detox without the support and supervision of a medical team.

When you’ve successfully completed your drug or alcohol detox, you’ll hopefully feel much more motivated to take on your psychological and well-being therapies. These subsequent therapies could include counselling, relapse prevention, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), stress management, motivational interviewing, mediation therapy, and psychotherapy.

Combine these psychological therapies with those therapies which take of your well-being, and you’ll have the best chance of succeeding in your long-term recovery. Some of our common well-being therapies include low-level laser therapy, yoga, mindfulness, art therapy, meditation, music therapy, relaxation and sleep management, fitness therapy, and nutritional supplement therapy.
