How Do You Know if You’re Addicted to Drugs or Alcohol?

Many addicts fail to realise that their drug or alcohol addiction is actually a real problem. Addictions can change your brain and your thought processes and can lead you to believe that there is no problem present, even when the detrimental effects on your health and relationships are clear.

There are a number of indicators that may highlight there is an addiction present. The list below shows some of the things that may pinpoint an addiction:

• Experiencing financial troubles due to substance abuse
• Surrounding yourself with other people who are also addicts
• Engaging in risky or criminal behaviour
• Noticing your relationships with those closest to you are falling apart
• Experiencing a number of health issues related to drug or alcohol abuse
• You find that you are consuming more drugs or alcohol than usual
• You experience withdrawal symptoms when you go some time without drugs or alcohol
• You may be experiencing increased anxiety or depression

If any of the above statements resonate with you, there is a good chance that there may be an addiction present.

 

When is the Right Time to Attend a Drug and Alcohol Rehab?

You can’t expect to make a full recovery from your drug or alcohol addiction until you have the full motivation to do so. You need to feel ready and motivated, otherwise, you won’t have the determination to fully succeed in your recovery. The best way that you can benefit from a rehab treatment is to feel ready to make those changes, to begin with.

This may be difficult to hear, however, it is important to note. Unless you feel ready, your initial response to your rehab treatment will most likely be quite flat.

Drug and alcohol addictions can have terrible effects on both your physical and mental health so the sooner you can get help for your addiction the better. There is no better time than right now to get help for your addiction.

 

What is Treatment in Rehab Like?

When attending rehab, nobody ever really knows what to expect. People tend to think that it will be an unpleasant experience with a lot of strict rules and demanding staff. However, this is far from the truth.

The rehab experience is much more like being in a hotel rather than like a hospital or prison. Rehab is supposed to feel comfortable and not like a punishment, and so each rehab centre will reflect this in their environment and overall experience.

Rehab treatment will usually begin with an initial detox program. This is essential for a proper and full recovery.

Detoxing involves getting rid of all of the harmful toxins that are present in the body as a result of substance abuse.

Unfortunately, this is quite an uncomfortable process but definitely a necessary one if you want to make a full recovery from addiction. You’ll experience a number of withdrawal symptoms during this stage. However, the rehab centre will provide you with medical assistance during this stage to help ease the symptoms of withdrawal when needed.

Once you have completed a full detox, you will then go on to complete a variety of therapy programs. You will experience therapy sessions on a one-to-one and group basis so that you are free to talk about your struggles with other people who are also experiencing the same things you are.

Group therapy sessions may seem daunting at first, however, most people settle into the quite quickly. The group therapy sessions are an invaluable part of recovery as you have others to speak to who are going through the same struggles and this type of support can be extremely helpful in your recovery.

When you’re ready to leave rehab, you’ll be strongly encouraged to surround yourself with people who are also sober. You will also be encouraged to take part in aftercare sessions such as AA meetings and our weekly Zoom meetings so that you can continue to grow this network of support.

You will also continue to take part in one-to-one sessions to ensure that you are staying on the right track once you return to your home environment.
