Addiction, in its many guises, can take a hold of anyone. However, despite this, a lot of people can feel a lot of shame and guilt about having developed this serious illness. It is important to know that there is no shame in having developed this illness and you should be proud of yourself for having accepted that you need professional help in overcoming this disorder — acceptance is an important first step and not one which is easy to overcome.
Furthermore, substance abuse disorders and alcohol abuse disorders manifest in various different forms. Different specific substances will have their own unique facets, and the causes leading to the development of the addiction can also vary massively.
Therefore, this means that there is naturally no single solution/treatment to fix addiction, which is why we take each person’s individual struggles into consideration and craft a unique treatment plan for each client.
The tangible physical and psychological side-effects which can stem from long-term drug and/or alcohol addiction can vary hugely from person to person. However, they may most frequently include the likes of:
While these side-effects can seem severe as is, the long-term diagnoses for those struggling with long-lasting addiction can be even worse still. These can include lung disease, heart disease/failure, artery and vein damage, and even death are all very real possibilities.
However, the ramifications of addiction are far from restricted to physical and psychological symptoms. Addiction also frequently causes a deterioration in any relationships that you have with family and/or friends.
Additionally, it is likely that your performance/efficiency in your professional work may suffer which can lead to losing your job and consequently financial ramifications. It is crucial to keep in mind that it isn’t too late in order to seek out residential rehabilitation in Bideford.
For a lot of individuals facing drug and/or alcohol addiction, then the notion of attending residential drug and alcohol treatment can be scary. For some people, this can be seen as admitting defeat to the addiction.
However, there is no shame to be had in reaching out for professional help with an aim to better your quality of life. Accepting this help is a critical first step towards conquering your addiction for the long term.
When an individual finds themselves addicted to alcohol or an alternative substance, it is naturally incredibly difficult to break out of the cycle of addiction — and that is largely because addiction can alter the construction of your brain chemistry.
The same aspects of brain chemistry mean that human beings who are motivated for success or partaking in generally positive experiences suddenly become rerouted in the pursuit of consuming the substance to which you are addicted.
Essentially, this in turn means that getting that next alcoholic drink or “fix” takes the place of the other important things in your life — be it financial stability, commitment to your family and friends, employment, finances, or maintaining your physical and mental health.
However, no matter how much drug and/or alcohol addiction has negatively impacted your health, finances, or relationships, it is never too late for you to get the help of professional drug and alcohol services in Bideford.
