Drug and Alcohol Rehab Newham

We appreciate how hard it can be to open up to someone about your drug and alcohol abuse, especially if you’re in denial about it yourself; it’s very common to see people in denial about their drug or alcohol addiction. Our rehab in Newham has seen countless people try to downplay or hide their symptoms from everyone around them and from themselves.

We’re here to let you know that there’s nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed of when it comes to asking for help. It’s such a brave action to take and will bring you one step closer to achieving your long-term recovery goals.

You might think that your drug or alcohol addiction is too mild to receive help from a rehabilitation centre, or maybe you believe that your addiction is too severe that you can’t be helped. Whatever stage you’re at in your battle with addiction, whether it’s just begun, or you’ve been living with it for some time now, there’s no case of addiction we can’t help with specialist addiction treatment.

If you don’t seek our drug and alcohol treatment, your addiction will only get worse over time. Don’t continue to put yourself through so much pain, join our drug and alcohol rehab Newham today.

After you’ve contacted our admissions team, we will aim to have you in our rehab in Newham within 48 hours. You will undergo a pre-screening assessment to review your physical and psychological well-being which also gives us the opportunity to understand your addiction in more detail so that we can create a suitable addiction treatment programme for you.

The signs of drug or alcohol addiction

As we mentioned above, many people really struggle to come to terms with the fact that they’re suffering from drug and alcohol abuse. If this is the case, it can be useful to know what the signs and symptoms of addiction are so that you can recognise them within your own behaviours but also within your loved ones if you’re concerned about their condition.

The more time that passes, the worse the addiction will become with these signs and symptoms becoming intensified, having an even more damaging impact on your well-being. Some of the signs and symptoms include headaches, irritability, problems sleeping, increased secretiveness, nausea, insomnia, changes in appetite, abrupt changes in weight, changes in speech, changes in appearance, increased levels of anxiety, lack of concentration, frequent mood swings, memory loss, distancing yourself from friends and family, increased lying, bloodshot eyes, and skin, hair, nails, and teeth degrading. If you’re experiencing any of the above signs or symptoms, then it’s vital that you seek support from a drug and alcohol rehab immediately.

The importance of drug or alcohol detox

Going through the process of a drug or alcohol detox is by far the most effective way to gradually reduce your consumption of alcohol or drugs in a safe and controlled setting such as our rehab in Newham. Visiting our detox clinic is the best way to start your recovery as it helps to cleanse your body and mind in preparation for your psychological therapies. Whilst none of our treatments are compulsory, we highly recommend a drug or alcohol detox for most of our clients as it’s certainly the most effective starting point for your recovery.

Detoxification is effective but only when it’s done right with the supervision of medical experts. We’ve seen a drug or alcohol detox fail on many occasions when people attempt this at home with no guidance and no medical assistance. The withdrawal symptoms that arise from detoxification can be quite dangerous and need to be managed by professionals to limit the risk of danger.

Without professional support, you’re putting yourself at great risk of potentially life-threatening damage. Our team are on hand 24/7 to minimise your discomfort and administer prescribed medication if necessary. Some of the most common withdrawal symptoms we see include headaches, seizures, dizziness, insomnia, nausea, and delirium tremens (DT’s).

Once you’ve successfully completed your drug or alcohol detox, you’ll hopefully feel much more prepared to take on the rest of your addiction treatment programme. Your psychological therapies could include cognitive behavioural therapy, relapse prevention, stress management, counselling, or dialectical behaviour therapy.

Whereas you’ll also receive well-being therapies such as relaxation and sleep management, mindfulness, yoga, low-level laser therapy, art therapy, nutritional supplement therapy, meditation, fitness therapy, and music therapy. All of the above will contribute greatly to giving you the very best chance to succeed in your recovery from drug or alcohol addiction.
