The complexities and risks associated with drug and alcohol addiction will vary from person to person. Each case is individual, and there are a plethora of addictions, from narcotics to opioids, alcohol and prescription medications.

Negative consequences arise from addiction. This may include relationship problems, job loss, interruption in studies, and much more. Culture and circumstances also play a pivotal role in how addiction is created in people with biological vulnerabilities to developing an addiction. This may be related to genetic issues or foetal alcohol syndrome. It may be that you are struggling to know if your alcohol and drug addiction need treatment.

Do I Have an Addiction?

Knowing and admitting to addiction can be a difficult step. Denial is often overwhelming, and worry follows. Once you have realised that your addiction is serious, you can focus on ways in which to remove the addiction from your life. The initial step is to be aware of the first red flags and symptoms surrounding addiction. Here are some to note:

• Social and family withdrawal.
• Lack of appetite
• Weight loss (or weight gain in some circumstances)
• Poor neglected appearance and hygiene
• Sleeping too much during the day
• Mood swings/ Temper tantrums
• A lack of motivation
• Anxiety and depression
• Irritability

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should reach out to someone. Addiction is a disease, and it must be dealt with accordingly. You should first speak with your GP for information, and then you may want to look at a private drug and alcohol rehab facility. Private rehab has a high success rate, and attending can combat psychological risk factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, and personality traits that may have contributed to addiction.

So, what is the next step if you have committed to alcohol and drug rehab? Firstly, we can ensure you arrive with us safely, and you are admitted to your own room. You’ll meet the team, learn about us and feel completely at home. We are here to help, not judge. Detox will then begin.

How Does Detox Work?

Drug and alcohol rehab centres create dedicated programmes implemented in pleasant and comfortable environments with a team of dedicated medical professionals. Detox is a process that removes toxins from the body with proven safe methods. The advantage of going through an alcohol and drug detox within a medical setting s that you will have a comfortable experience.

It is essential to note that a drug and alcohol detox is the first step. Following this, you will have access to incredibly important treatments and therapies. It often takes around seven days, and then you will complete another few weeks of rehab. The standard stay at a clinic is around 30 days.

Treatment and Therapies in Private Rehab

Many treatments are available in a private rehab, and it is essential to discuss the advantages. Each therapy session is carried out with dedication and sensitivity focusing on the triggers of your addictions, reasons for addiction, and potential mental health issues. If a crisis has led you to addiction, it will be addressed in your one-to-one counselling sessions. Here are some of the treatments that you are likely to be offered:

• Detoxification
• CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
• Individual, group, and family therapy
• Art and creative therapies
• Long-term follow-up to prevent relapse (aftercare plan)

These treatments allow you to advance and control your progress and offer you the opportunity to share your story and build a new network. Private rehab also eliminates feelings of desperation and isolation. The staff at Asana Lodge are there to constantly support you, but you do have your own personal time and freedom to reflect and recuperate.

Support After Rehab in Biggleswade

Following your rehab programme, there will be an adjustment period known as reintegration. This is when you return home and implement the lessons learned at rehab in your new lifestyle. You may return to work or study, find new work or return to your family life. However, we will create a bespoke aftercare plan that seeks to support you when you leave us.

We can offer you further counselling sessions if it is needed, as well as put you in touch with local groups. Local AA, support groups and workshops can be found as well as NA meetings. At Asana, we also offer a face-to-face chat which will be conducted via Zoom. Our Zoom calls are simple and effective so that you can chat with us at your convenience in the comfort of your home. You are never alone after your treatment with us. We want to see you thrive and do our best to watch you blossom on your new journey.
