What are the physical signs of Drug or Alcohol Addiction?

There really aren’t any positives when it comes to drug or alcohol addiction. the harmful toxins within these substances negatively impact your physical health from the moment they’re consumed.

The first signs you’re likely to notice is the impact addiction had on your physical health, damaging your body, and altering your appearance. You may appear pale or gaunt, have skin sores, have shakes or bloodshot eyes. You’ll also be much more prone to developing heart disease, liver disease, stroke, diabetes, and digestion problems.

How does Addiction impact your psychological health?

Just how addiction damages your physical health, it also severely deteriorates your psychological health. Alcohol and drugs can cause the makeup in your brain to change, altering your behaviours and damaging your brains functionality.

You may feel lonely, anxious, depressed, experience low self-esteem, bipolarity, or even contemplate suicide as a result of your addiction.

This well-rounded approach to your rehabilitation will give you the best chance of succeeding in your long-term recovery. We also strongly believe in personalising each individual’s addiction treatment to ensure the benefits are maximised and your recovery is effective as possible.

Typically, you’ll begin with a drug or alcohol detoxification before starting your subsequent therapies. By undergoing a drug or alcohol detoxification, you’re giving yourself the best chance of safely removing the harmful toxins from your system in a gradual and controlled manner.

This process must be supervised by a professional team of addiction specialists to ensure its managed safely and to ensure the detoxification is successful. Detoxification is the best way to cleanse your system so that you can make the most of your psychological and well-being therapies.

Some common psychological therapies we deliver include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), individual, group or family counselling, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and stress management.

Essential Aftercare Plans

Everyone who joins our drug and alcohol rehab Woolwich Riverside will have a unique addiction treatment programme to follow. The duration of each treatment programme will vary per person depending on the severity of their addiction and their personal circumstances.

Typically, our comprehensive addiction treatment programmes last around 28 days followed by a 12-month aftercare plan free of charge.

The first year after completing your addiction treatment at our rehabilitation centre is usually the most challenging as it’s when you’re most likely to suffer from a drug or alcohol relapse. Adapting to your new behaviours and utilising the new tools you’ve learned can be quite difficult so it’s crucial that you continue to have a support system on your return home.

We provide a dedicated helpline where you can contact us at any time for anything that’s on your mind. We’re also able to arrange additional therapy sessions such as counselling or extra relapse prevention sessions if needed.

Our aftercare team can also recommend local support groups to utilise including Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. These support groups have proven to be a great help for many people recovering from addiction.
