Addiction is a debilitating condition that hugely impacts health, relationships, finances and career. It can feel scary, lonely and confusing – whether you’re the individual suffering from the addiction, a loved one or an employer. Many people struggle to admit they need help, and many don’t even realise they’re suffering from addiction. However, often the only way to get better long-term is to seek professional help.

There are many signs and symptoms of addiction, and they won’t always be present. Some of the most common signs include wanting to stop but not being able to, experiencing cravings and side effects without the substance and continuing to take the substance despite pleas from loved ones and the negative effects it’s having on your wider life. Functioning addiction is where someone controls their substance use and overall life. However, addiction can soon take its toll.

There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, and by asking for help, you make a positive decision for yourself and your future. At Asana Lodge, we’ve helped many people like you get on the right track. People who were gripped by addiction couldn’t see a way. And people who are now living their life again and aren’t looking back.

 

What Happens at Private Drug and Alcohol Rehab?

At Asana Lodge, we offer private residential rehab treatment. This is where individuals stay with us for the duration of their treatment, usually 28 days. When you arrive, a medical examination will be completed, which assesses your current state. A team of doctors and nurses are on hand and can prescribe any medication if needed.

One of the first steps in your recovery is to complete a detox if you haven’t already done so. This is where the drugs or alcohol leave your body and can result in several side effects, including cold and flu-like symptoms, sweating and shaking, and stomach concerns. These side effects are normal because the body has built up a dependence on the substance.

Many people try to detox at home but struggle to complete it because of the side effects. However, detoxing is much safer in rehab, and medication can be prescribed to ease any effects. The whole process can take up to 7 days.

Once complete, it’s then time for you to begin therapy. At Asana Lodge, we use a combination of therapy and counselling in group and individual settings. This allows you to learn from others and develop your own answers. We also encourage family therapy which involves your loved ones and gives you and them the necessary support and guidance.

Treatment aims to combat physical addiction and treat any behavioural symptoms. Well-being and holistic activities will also help you to carve out new habits and a healthier lifestyle. You’re encouraged to make the most of our grounds when you’re not involved in treatment.

All meals are taken care of as an inpatient, and you have your own private room to call home. This means you can focus fully on improving and have no outside distractions. For this reason, many experts believe that inpatient private rehab offers the best chance of long-term recovery.

 

How Long Will I Need to Stay in Rehab?

As mentioned above, the typical inpatient rehab programme is 28 days. However, we also offer shorter and longer programmes. This depends on how well you cope and whether a detox is required. Once we’ve spoken to you and got to understand your recovery requirements, our team will be able to advise on the expected duration of rehab.

 

Aftercare

You don’t need to worry about your rehab programme ending. We’ll be with you every step of the way, and our support doesn’t conclude just because your inpatient stay has. During your time at the rehab, you’ll be given aftercare and relapse-prevention advice to ensure you’re resilient in the outside world. Once you leave rehab, we’ll give you details of local support groups, and aftercare meetings will be set up once a week.

Our phone line is always open – for individuals and their loved ones. We also recommend that you speak to your loved ones honestly about what supports you and which situations you may find difficult. That way, you’ll be on the same page and can work together to ensure that you stay on the recovery path.
