Drug and Alcohol Rehab Broadland

Drug and alcohol addiction can be detrimental to a person’s life. Don’t struggle alone, reach out to our team to find out more information about drug and alcohol rehab and how we can help.

Finding Drug and Alcohol Treatment in Broadland

You can ask anyone who has a drug and alcohol addiction and has started working towards long-term recovery, and they will tell you that it is so much harder on your own. By its nature, addiction is very isolating and can leave you feeling like the only way to overcome it and achieve long-term recovery is through sheer force of will. Would you think the same way if you thought your appendix was about the burst?

Or if you had something wrong with your teeth? In both of these scenarios, you are in pain and need help. You also wouldn’t consider trying to fix the problem yourself because you dont know what your doing and will likely only cause more damage to be done.

The same is true with your alcohol and/or drug addiction. You don’t have the training or the medical techniques to provide treatment, and you will only hurt yourself if you try to do this alone. You don’t have to be alone. Many treatment options in Broadland can provide you with the help you want at any level you desire. But the first step is knowing where to look for this treatment.

You can first start by talking to your GP so you can be referred to the closest hospital, likely Little Plumstead hospital or James Paget University hospital. Here you can start getting a formal diagnosis and treatment from the NHS.

You can also find help from support groups such as alcoholics anonymous and narcotics anonymous. You can find their meetings every Monday at 7 am in the Florence community centre. They will be able to provide you with information and support on how to overcome your addiction. It is none committal, and you don’t even need to worry about leaving your name. The support groups are run by recovering addicts who can understand what you are going through and show you that there is no shame in taking the help offered.

 

Choosing Outpatient or Inpatient Rehab in Broadland

When deciding between inpatient and outpatient, it is important that you consider your existing needs, as they both have their benefits and drawbacks. To begin with, outpatient treatment is often provided via the NHS, and because of this, it is free. Even if you decide on outpatient treatment from a drug and alcohol rehab centre, it will still be much cheaper than any other option.

Outpatient rehab treatment also allows you to plan your treatments around your busy life. This can be very helpful for those that may have childcare commitments and can’t take time away from their everyday lives. The downsides come from the wait time connected with the NHS. You could be on a waitlist for months just to get a referral for an appointment to see if you need treatment.

You also still have full access to all drugs and alcohol during this delicate time of your treatments, as there is no one to keep you from temptation. Compared with inpatient rehab, you receive a much more linear and structured recovery over a 28-day period. You will receive all of your treatments one after the other and be kept in the comfort of the rehab for the entire time.

This means that during this vulnerable time, you won’t be able to relapse easily. The only downside is the cost as some people find it a lot of money. However, you are paying for top-quality service. Private drug and alcohol rehab centres such as Asana Lodge give you everything you need to start living a life without drugs or alcohol.

 

What to Expect from Drug and Alcohol Rehab

While everyone’s experience in a drug and alcohol rehab centre will be unique, you can expect a few standard treatments.

The first is the drug and alcohol detox. Medical detox is only needed if you have a physical addiction to alcohol or drugs like heroin. The medical detox takes about ten days to complete, and during this time, you may experience some of the following withdrawal symptoms:

• Muscle spasms
• Vomiting
• Diarrhoea
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Paranoia
• Insomnia
• Headache
• Nausea
• Light sensitivity
• Muscle pain
• Hallucinations
• Seizures

These symptoms can be controlled with medication from the supervising medical team, who will keep you safe during the treatment. Following this, you will move on to therapy.

There are a few different types of therapy you may be given during your stay, which are:

• Cognitive behavioural therapy
• Group therapy
• Motivational therapy
• Holistic therapy
• Individual therapy

They each help you in different ways, but they share the main goal of teaching you how to identify your triggers so that you can avoid them. They also teach you healthier coping mechanisms to replace your substance abuse. What to expect from an alcohol and drug rehab centre is a safe and welcoming environment that allows you to focus on yourself and your treatments.
