Drug and Alcohol Rehab Enfield

There can be many different reasons as to why a person becomes addicted to alcohol or drugs. These can broadly be split into genetic and environmental factors, although there’s more likely to be a combination of reasons which may have caused someone’s drug or alcohol addiction.

One of the primary causes of addiction is the environment in which you grew up in. If you were raised in a family where drinking alcohol and taking drugs was the norm, you’re more likely to see it as acceptable and therefore take part in these activities.

Similarly, the social circle that you choose to involve yourself with can have a dramatic influence on whether or not you participate in substance abuse.

Sometimes a person can become addicted to alcohol or drugs after experiencing a traumatic event like a bereavement, a job loss, family breakdown, or a serious injury.

In these cases, the individual may turn to alcohol or drugs as a coping mechanism to manage their emotions in relation to the traumatic event. It’s highly likely that this coping mechanism turns into a dependence on the substance, which then quickly develops into an addiction which can be very difficult to get free from.

 

Mental Health and Addiction to Alcohol or Drugs

Over our years of experience, we’ve seen many people who struggle with their mental health, also struggle with addiction; we often see the two go hand in hand. This is generally because when a person is suffering from poor mental health, they may use alcohol or drugs as a way to cope with their psychological pain.

Alternatively, when someone is addicted to alcohol or drugs, their brain functionality can become significantly impaired, leading to a mental health problem such as anxiety, bi-polarity, depression, or even suicide.

When a person is suffering from both an addiction and mental health problems, we refer to this as a dual diagnosis for which we provide a specialised dual diagnosis treatment.

There is absolutely no reason to feel embarrassed or ashamed about admitting that you have a dual diagnosis, it’s actually very common. Our team are knowledgeable, compassionate, and discrete when it comes to supporting all of our clients along their journey to long-term recovery.

 

Which therapies do we use at our Drug and Alcohol Rehab Enfield?

When you’re recovering from such a complex condition like alcohol or drug addiction, it’s important that you receive an addiction treatment programme which suits your specific needs. This is why we only design personalised drug and alcohol treatment programmes at our rehab in Enfield.

This high level of personalisation is crucial to achieving an effective recovery from addiction. Within your treatment programme, we will feature a carefully selected combination of well-being and psychological focused therapies to offer you a holistic approach to your rehabilitation.

One of the first things you’ll do once you arrive at our rehabilitation centre, is visit our excellent detox clinic. This process allows you to enter recovery by gradually reducing your consumption of alcohol or drugs in a safe and controlled way.

Your drug or alcohol detox will be followed by your therapeutic treatments which will give you the mental strength to remain in recovery. The process of emotional, psychological, physical, and social healing is crucial to your long-term recovery and to learning the power of relapse prevention techniques.

All of our therapies are evidence-based and are highly regarded as effective addiction treatment therapies. Some of the psychological therapies we deliver include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), stress management, psychotherapy, relapse prevention, individual, group, or family counselling, and motivational interviewing.

Alongside these therapies which concentrate on breaking your mental connection with the substance, we also ensure that you receive therapies which focus on improving your general well-being which significantly aids the overall effectiveness of your recovery.

These well-being therapies could include relaxation and sleep management, meditation, mindfulness, and art therapy.

By following our tailored, holistic approach to addiction treatment at our drug and alcohol rehab Enfield, you’re giving yourself the greatest opportunity to succeed in your long-term recovery goals.
