It also makes acute medical emergencies much more likely, like heart attacks or strokes. The Office for National Statistics reported that in the UK, there were almost 9,000 deaths in 2020 related to alcohol misuse, and in 2021 there were almost 5,000 deaths related to a drug overdose. And this is without mentioning the damage it can do to your mental health. Substance abuse and mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety disorder, often go hand in hand.

If you are suffering from a substance addiction or are worried that you might develop a substance abuse problem, it is important to address the issue as soon as possible.

Am I addicted to Drugs and Alcohol?

Many people suffering from substance abuse problems find it difficult to admit that they have a problem. It is, sadly, not unusual for sufferers to feel ashamed or guilty. Despite the fact that addiction is an illness and its victims should be treated with the same care and respect as those suffering from any other problem, a social stigma still persists around the issue of addiction.

It is important to remember that the most important thing is your health, not what other people might think of you. If you are worried that your drinking or drug use is becoming a problem, here are some of the main warning signs and symptoms to watch out for:

• Feeling sick or unwell when you haven’t had a drink or taken any drugs
• Feeling more irritable than usual, especially when you haven’t had a drink or taken any drugs
• Feeling strong cravings for alcohol or drugs, or constantly planning ahead to your next drink or hit
• Spending so much money on alcohol or drugs that it is negatively affecting your financial situation
• Having to drink significantly more to get drunk or take significantly more drugs to get high

This list is not exhaustive, and experiencing one of these symptoms does not necessarily mean that you have an addiction problem, but if you identify with any of these symptoms, it may well be time to consider seeking professional advice.

Private Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Penistone

The most effective way to overcome a substance addiction is with dedicated, professional support. Private drug and alcohol rehab offers the safest environment to begin your recovery journey. The main advantage of private care is that you can receive inpatient treatment at a residential clinic. There are publicly funded addiction treatments provided by the NHS, but sadly these treatment programmes are often underfunded and understaffed. They tend to be outpatient programmes, meaning you will have to manage your appointments.

At the end of each session, you will have to go home to the everyday stresses that fuel your substance abuse, and if the cravings prove too hard to resist, there is always the danger that you will fall straight into relapse. At a residential clinic, this is not a concern. You will be in a regulated, insulated environment, far from your triggers and with restricted access to the harmful substances you are addicted to. Moreover, all treatments will take place at our drug and alcohol rehab, meaning less stress and more time to relax.

Our facility has luxury accommodations, nutritional meals, and staff on hand 24/7. If you are ready to reach out for help and are looking for private rehab in Penistone, then Asana Lodge is the place for you.

What Happens During a Drug and Alcohol Detox?

Once you arrive at alcohol and drug rehab, a detox is your first treatment. It can be very daunting and painful, but the comfortable rooms of our clinic offer the safest space for you to go through this potentially uncomfortable drug and alcohol detox. Simply put, detox is when your body processes and removes the harmful substances affecting it. Once your body is free of drugs, you will likely suffer through a withdrawal period.

The nature and severity of the symptoms you will experience will largely depend on the type of drug that you are addicted to. Alcohol withdrawal can take up to two days, while withdrawal from stimulants such as cocaine can come immediately as a “crash”. The physical withdrawal symptoms are likely to peak around the third day before beginning to taper off by the end of your first week clean.

The psychological symptoms of withdrawal, especially cravings, can persist for months after an alcohol and drug detox. This is why it is so important that detox is coupled with holistic therapy programmes.
