Chronic Stress Treatment

Whether it be a result of problems at home, conflict in the workplace, finances or demanding responsibilities, stress is inevitable.

Although many individuals find it easy to manage stress, 74% of people in the United Kingdom find themselves unable to cope with the stress they face. Sadly, this has seen stress become a significant health problem and in some cases, the reason behind drug and alcohol addiction.

As stress continues to have negative repercussions, the demand for treatment has soared.  However, due to extended waiting times for treatment, many are unable to secure the help they need when they need it.

Regrettably, when stress is not effectively managed, chronic stress can arise. This can also lead to drug and alcohol addiction for people who use substances as a way to self-medicate the symptoms of chronic stress. Chronic stress can also occur as a result of addiction, as the cycle of substance abuse can have major psychological effects on users.

Without dual diagnosis treatment for addiction and chronic stress, those suffering are at greater risk of developing physical and psychological illnesses.

Chronic stress and substance addictions have been cited as one of the many reasons that individuals contemplate suicide. If you constantly feel overwhelmed, unable to cope, and under pressure, dual diagnosis treatment will help you regain control of your thoughts and feelings.

In turn, you will have the ability to live a happy, healthy and stress-free life.

 

Dual Diagnosis Treatment At Asana Lodge

At Asana Lodge, our dual diagnosis treatment includes a wealth of psychological and well-being treatments. Combined, these treatments ensure that those in need of chronic stress and addiction treatment can manage pessimistic thoughts and feelings while ascertaining how they can mitigate the overall impact that stress and addiction has.

To offer you greater insight, we have outlined our dual diagnosis treatments below.

 

Psychological Therapy

Administered to ensure that you are able to distinguish what has caused chronic stress and addiction to impair your life, psychological therapy at Asana Lodge includes the following:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
• Trauma Counselling
• Abuse Counselling
• Satori Chair Therapy
• Stress Management

Although many of our psychological therapies take place on a one-to-one basis, you will also be encouraged to participate in group therapy from time to time.

Regardless of the psychological therapy deemed suitable, you will work with our team of medical recovery experts to understand how you can manage chronic stress and addiction.

 

Well-Being Therapy

In addition to encountering psychological therapy, during your time in our rehab, you will have the opportunity to participate in well-being therapies that have been designed to help you reflect on your chronic stress and drug or alcohol addiction.

A non-traditional form of therapy, well-being therapy has been incorporated into our dual diagnosis treatments for quite some time and has proven to be extremely effective.

Below, we have listed a number of the well-being therapies you may encounter as you commence dual diagnosis treatment at our rehab.

• Meditation
• Mindfulness Sessions
• Art Therapy
• Relaxation and Sleep Management
• Self-Help Sessions

 

Medication

In some instances, medication may be deemed a suitable treatment for chronic stress and addiction during the withdrawal period.  If medication is recommended, our medical professionals will provide you with a prescription.

Although antidepressants are usually prescribed for chronic stress, other medications may be provided.

 

Attending a Private Rehab for Chronic Stress and Addiction Treatment

Although many health care providers, such as the NHS and mental health charities offer support, guidance and treatment for chronic stress and addiction, private rehabilitation is much more advantageous when considering dual diagnosis treatment.

With this in mind, we welcome you to take advantage of the dual diagnosis treatment we can provide you with at our residential rehab.

Unlike other facilities, we focus on restoring and healing the body and brain through a number of scientifically proven techniques.  We also ensure that all of our treatments are tailored to the personal needs of each individual that enters our rehab.
