Do I Have an Addiction to Drugs or Alcohol?

For some people, it can be very difficult to determine whether an addiction is present.

There are several criteria that can determine if there is an addiction present and whether the best option would be alcohol and drug rehab.

The more of these criteria that are present, the worse an addiction is likely to be.

• Hazardous use of substances
• Social or interpersonal problems due to substance abuse
• Withdrawals when going long periods of time without substance
• Neglecting important things to abuse substances
• Tolerance
• Using larger amounts or for longer
• Repeated failed attempts to control the use or quit
• Spending a lot of time abusing substances
• Psychological or physical problems related to substance abuse
• Activities that are given up to use the substances
• Cravings

The more of the above criteria that you resonate with, the worse your addiction is likely to be.

If you do associate with any of the statements above, then it is important to reach out for professional help for your addiction as soon as possible.

What Is a Dual Diagnosis?

If you abuse alcohol or drugs on a regular basis, this can have serious negative long-term effects on your mental health.

Studies have shown that there are significant links between substance abuse and depression. This often makes it very difficult to separate the two problems.

Due to the stigma that is attached to depression, many people who are suffering will avoid seeking professional help and will choose to self-medicate instead.

For a lot of people, this, unfortunately, means turning to drugs or alcohol as a way of attempting to deal with their problems and to try to make themselves feel better.

However, this is not the answer.

When depression and substance abuse coexist, this is known as a dual diagnosis, and it can make the treatment rather challenging.

It’s very difficult to determine which condition came first and what influences these conditions have on each other.

Treating someone with a dual diagnosis requires very specialist knowledge and an in-depth understanding of both conditions.

If you fail to treat both conditions properly, it will be very difficult for the addict to successfully recover.

This can often lead to an increase in relapses when the addict leaves the treatment centre so it’s very important that both conditions are treated at the same time.

This can be done in drug and alcohol rehab.

How Much Does Rehab Cost?

The price that you pay for rehab can vary depending on several factors.

Many of the treatment options in rehab are customisable and no two treatment is ever the same.

You can often choose from a 30-day, 60-day or 90-day treatment programme. However, different rehabs will offer different lengths of treatment.

This can raise or lower the overall cost of your rehab treatment.

In general, you can usually expect to pay around £6,000 – £12,000 for a 30-day stay in rehab in Winchester. However, this will depend on many factors including which substance you are addicted to.

Some centres offer shorter programmes of around 10 days, and these will cost around £2,000 – £6,000.

An at-home drug and alcohol detox is often the cheapest option and this is usually around £1,500.

How Long Does Rehab Last?

In most cases, you can expect rehab to last for between 30 to 90 days. However, there is a range of different lengths of stay and it will depend on the treatment centre that you go to.

It’s important to consider that the longer you stay in rehab, the more likely it is for you to successfully recover and avoid relapsing in the future.

A minimum of 28 days is recommended by most rehab centres.

This is so that you can benefit from the counselling, therapies, and other activities that all increase your chances of making a long-term recovery.

Many addictions are psychologically based, in the sense that self-medicating was the only immediate option for those suffering from a mental health problem.
