Understanding Addictions

Addictions are very common and they are a disease which should be treated in the same way as any other chronic disease. An addict with be unable to resist the temptation to use substances or to continue engaging in harmful activities. This repeated abuse of a certain substance or engaging in a harmful activity becomes a compulsive thing. The substance abuse will affect all areas of the person’s life including relationships, school, work, or family.

When substance addictions or behavioural addictions take over someone’s life, they can often lead to some very detrimental consequences. Addictions and substance disorders are progressive. This means that they will only get worse and worse as time goes on. This is why it’s so important to reach out for help with your addiction as soon as you realise that substance abuse is a problem in your life.

Below is a list of some of the most common addictions that are treated in rehab centres:

• Alcohol
• Cocaine
• Marijuana
• Heroin
• Benzodiazepines
• Opiates
• Stimulants
• Inhalants
• Painkillers
• Gambling

Although the addictions listed above are the most common, this doesn’t mean that rehab treatments are limited to just those addictions. Rehab can help with many types of addiction, no matter how mild or severe.

Some people believe that their addiction is either too mild or too severe to get help in rehab. This simply isn’t the case. It doesn’t matter how mild or severe your addiction may be, there is help out there for you. Rehab has been proven time and time again as being the best and most successful method for treating addictions of all kinds. All of the treatments are evidence based and very effective.
 

 

Detoxing From Drugs and Alcohol

Detoxing is an important first step towards recovery. The detox is designed to help end the physical and psychological addiction that comes with drug and alcohol abuse and is usually medically assisted. Throughout your entire drug and alcohol detox process, you will be monitored by medical professionals to ensure that you remain as safe and comfortable as possible. This is because you may experience a range of withdrawal effects during this time.

The withdrawal effects that you experience when you go through your alcohol and drug detox can range from mild to severe. In the more severe cases, medical professionals may prescribe some prescription medications to help alleviate some of the withdrawal effects. Detox medications are much more common in people addicted to alcohol, barbiturates, opioids, and benzodiazepines.

The medical professionals in the drug and alcohol rehab centre will determine whether you need medically assisted detox or not. They will consider a range of things, including your existing mental health conditions, the severity of your addiction, your overall health, and the type of substance you’re addicted to.

You must always go through your drug or alcohol detox in a rehab setting. This is so medical professionals can monitor your symptoms and any health complications. This is the safest way to go through a detox. You should never attempt to detox from drugs or alcohol alone at home, as this can be very dangerous.

 

Treatments and Therapies for Drug and Alcohol Addictions

Once the detox is complete, you will move on to further treatments and therapies. You will go through various approaches when you have treatments and therapies. No two addictions are the same, so no treatment plans are ever the same. Your addiction treatment plan will be tailored to suit your specific circumstances and your needs. This ensures that you have the best possible chance of making a full recovery from your addiction.

You will go through a range of one-to-one sessions. These typically involve psychotherapy. Some common examples of the types of one-to-one treatments you will receive in rehab include cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectal behavioural therapy, talking therapies, and many others.

You will also go through a range of group therapies. These often take the form of talking therapy but may also take the form of psychotherapy, such as drama therapy, music therapy, art therapy, and mindfulness and meditation.

Rehab treatments aim to provide the perfect environment that allows you to explore new ways of thinking, develop new behavioural patterns, bond with peers, and seek new healthy and rewarding stimuli without relying on drugs or alcohol.
