The challenges that face people who are suffering from a drug or alcohol addiction can feel endless. Many people try to avoid the fact that they have a condition that they need help with, resulting in being in denial that they have an addiction at all; this makes it even more challenging to seek out help. Physical and psychological health problems are very common in those who have an addiction, they’ll be much more prone to developing heart disease, liver disease, diabetes, and to feeling increased paranoia, depression, and anxiety.

Not only does drug and alcohol addiction severely impact your health and well-being both physically and psychologically, but it can also have a devastating effect on your relationship with family and friends. As the toxins with drugs and alcohol impact the make-up of your brain and its functionality, your behaviours can completely change which often causes conflict with loved ones who struggle to understand how they can help. Addiction can also negatively impact your financial situation as you attempt to fund such an expensive habit, whilst having a significant effect on your performance at work as you struggle to focus on the task at hand.

The longer you remain in denial about your addiction or the longer you leave your addiction to alcohol or drugs untreated, the worse it will get, leaving you with potentially life-changing problems. Now is the time to seek out help from our drug and alcohol rehab Rochester before it’s too late.

 

The benefits of rehabilitation

When searching for options to treat addiction, you’ll be faced with many varieties of treatment, however, none of them are as effective as a comprehensive rehabilitation programme. The most effective way to treat addiction to alcohol or drugs has proven to be at a private rehab as an inpatient where you stay overnight at the rehab centre for the duration of your treatment. Inpatient treatment has proven to be more effective than outpatient rehab as you’re able to remove yourself from your familiar home environment and solely focus on overcoming your battle with addiction. You also benefit from an exceptional, recovery focused environment where you receive constant support from our expert team every step of the way. You’ll benefit from additional motivation from others who are going through a similar situation to you who can share your concerns and your achievements with.

By joining a rehab centre, you’ll not only have the opportunity to undergo a safely controlled detoxification, but you can also take advantage of an expert team of recovery workers who will help you to identify the underlying causes of your addiction and to break your psychological and physical connection with drugs or alcohol. Our drug and alcohol rehab Rochester team will help you get to the root of the problem and address these issues in the most effective way whilst keeping you on track to achieve your long-term recovery; this significantly increases your chance of remaining in a healthy state of mind during your treatment.

 

Drug or alcohol detoxification

The first step you’ll take at our drug and alcohol rehab centre will typically be to visit our detox clinic. Beginning with a detox gives you a great starting point as you’ll gradually reduce your substance consumption in a controlled environment under the supervision of our expert medical team. This supervision is essential as if you were to ever attempt a drug or alcohol detox outside of a secure environment like our drug and alcohol rehab, it can be extremely dangerous especially when you attempt to manage your withdrawal symptoms which are common with most detox’s.

Although these withdrawal symptoms are fairly common, they do have the potential to be dangerous including mild symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and dizziness, to the more severe symptoms such as insomnia, seizures, and delirium tremens (the DT’s).

 

Is addiction linked to mental health?

The vast majority of people who suffer from drug or alcohol addiction also suffer from mental health problems. These can vary from anxiety and depression to OCD or bipolarity. The reason why addiction and mental health problems are often seen together is typically because these mental health problems could be linked to the cause of your drug or alcohol addiction or alternatively, you may develop mental health problems as a result of your excessive substance abuse as the toxins within these substances can severely change your mental health. In any case, when someone is suffering from both mental health problems and an addiction to alcohol or drugs, we refer to this as a dual diagnosis which we’re very experienced in treating at our rehab centre.

 

Addiction therapies

We carefully select which therapies we include in each person’s treatment programme to ensure you receive the most effective rehabilitation possible. Our team are extremely knowledgeable, most have first-hand experience of going through addiction treatment themselves so understand what your needs are. Our range of therapies address breaking your psychological connection to the substance and on improving your general well-being.

One of our most frequently delivered psychological therapies is cognitive behavioural therapy, also known as CBT. This treatment works to identify the underlying reason behind your addiction and then helps to redefine your negative behaviour habits and thought processes which may be related to your drug or alcohol addiction. This will in turn help you to learn how to react differently when needed and help you to make more positive choices going forward that aren’t influenced by your addiction.

Some of our other popular psychological therapies are family, group, or individual counselling, drug or alcohol relapse prevention, stress management, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing. To complement these psychological therapies, we’ll include some of our well-being therapies such as art therapy, relaxation and sleep management, yoga, mindfulness, low level laser therapy, fitness therapy, nutritional supplement therapy, music therapy, and meditation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you convince someone to go to rehab?

There is no set path to getting someone the help they need. You don’t know how people will react and it can turn into a very stressful situation. Getting educated about addiction as a disease, researching possible rehab options and looking for professional help are good ways to approach the topic. Having answers for possible reservations and being supported by a professional may put the person you are trying to convince more at ease and more amenable to the idea. The best thing you can do is to be understanding and avoid negativity.

What is outpatient rehab?

Outpatient rehab is when you undergo addiction treatment during the day without staying full-time at the facility. If you want to keep your normal day to day routine, then outpatient rehab affords you flexibility and you don’t have to take time away from your family and friends. With outpatient rehab, you will still receive the same high standard care as inpatient rehab but are more likely to come up against daily triggers and temptations. Outpatient rehab has a lower success rate but is the cheaper option and might be more suitable for those with milder addictions.

How long does rehab last?

A typical programme with us at Asana Lodge usually takes around 28 days and that includes drug or alcohol detox. After this amount of time, you will be sober and feel ready to face the outside world. Some people can afford to stay in rehab longer and programmes can run up to 12 weeks in some facilities. What is important is that you pick the programme that suits your circumstances and recovery goals.
