Why is Rehab the Safest and Most Effective Route to Recovery?

You may be unnerved at the thought of getting support for your addiction, especially when it comes to how to get the support. Some people with mild addiction attempt to recover at home.

However, this is not recommended as it can be dangerous when detoxing, also you will not have the resources to cope with leaving behind drugs and alcohol.

Most who decide to try and recover at home, unfortunately, end up relapsing due to lack of support and no change to their surroundings. Lack of change in your surroundings can lead to temptation and using again.

Do not try to recover alone at home. Some with mild addiction manage with the help of a GP and their local peer support group. However, most will need full support from rehab.

In rehab you will be fully taken care of, from the second you step foot into the rehab to long after you leave. Many of the professionals working in rehab have dealt with addiction personally or have some form of connection so they can really empathise with your situation.

A person working in rehab with previous personal experience gives them an insight that is unique and will help them give you the full care and support you need at this difficult time in your life. Most who enter rehab say that rehab is a very positive place to be.

Even though you are discussing serious topics and dealing with a serious situation, the atmosphere is very positive and light. Many people in rehab make friends for life and find new hobbies, talents and activities they love.

Some find they get into the best shape of their life with their nutrition and fitness therapies and classes. Rehab is the safest place to recover.

 

Detoxification and Withdrawal

Detoxing is the stage where you flush out toxins from the drugs and alcohol out of your body, cleansed to start psychological therapy. Detoxing can be extremely dangerous and you must not do this at home alone as some of the withdrawal symptoms people may experience can be potentially fatal.

Here are some of those withdrawal symptoms one may experience when detoxing from drugs and alcohol.

• Sweating
• Tremors
• Nausea
• Headaches
• Vomiting
• Diarrhoea
• Depression 
• Anxiety 
• Fatigue
• Paranoia
• Hallucinations
• Seizures
• Heart failure

In rehab, you will be closely monitored around the clock by medical professionals who will take care of your every need. They will likely give you medications to help you feel more comfortable and to prevent any serious withdrawal effects.

Rehab is the safest option and the most effective when it comes to recovering and not relapsing.

When you have completed the detoxing phase you will go through many different therapies that will all work together to better your psychological and physical wellbeing.

 

Effective Recovery Treatments and Therapies

There are both individual and peer support group therapies that will make your road to recovery more effective. In an individual therapy session, you will speak 1-2-1 with a psychologist who will discuss with you everything there is to know about your addiction and how you got to your addiction in the first place.

Many people discuss traumas and mental health and a large number of people in rehab receive a dual diagnosis. A dual diagnosis is when someone with an addiction is also diagnosed with a mental health condition.

This can be fairly common as a large percentage of those living with mental health conditions will also deal with addiction in their lifetime.

Group therapy is the perfect place to share your story and how you feel with positive feedback from those who understand your situation better than anyone, those who are dealing with it themselves. Group therapy is an empowering place to be and many find that they make great friends in group therapy.

There are many other therapies that you will work through in rehab. Some are extremely fun, there is music, art, relaxation, yoga, mindfulness, sleep management, nutrition and fitness therapies that all help towards giving you optimal results in recovery.

 

After Care When You Leave the Rehab Setting

Upon leaving rehab, you may be very nervous about how to deal with the outside world and how to navigate your new sober life. But you mustn’t fret as an aftercare team will help take care of your every need when leaving rehab.

The aftercare team can help with anything you need such as finding a new home, a new job, a new support group and more. You will never have to go through recovery alone even when you have left rehab.
