What Happens in Rehab?

Residential drug and alcohol rehab has an incredibly high success rate. That is because it is an intensive and structured programme that is suited to your individual needs. Public sector rehabilitation is limited in many aspects. Not only are the waiting lists incredibly long, but there is little access to one-to-one counselling, and alcohol and drug detox is vital to remove the substance from your body.

Following your treatment, you will also gain access to an aftercare plan. This plan is a strategy that is in place for as long as you need after you leave us. This may mean catching up with your counsellors or continuing certain elements of your treatment.

There are many types of addiction. This may be prescription drug addiction, or perhaps you are addicted to illegal substances. There is no need to feel isolated during addiction. You can easily and effectively remove addiction from your life with private rehab. Private rehab encapsulates all elements of addiction and tackles each one individually. You will find that it does not just help you recover from addiction but it also allows you to.

Detox Treatments and Therapies

Detox treatments and therapies are proven methods and techniques that successfully remove addictive substances and toxins from the body. The liver is the main organ that will process these types of substances. Secondly, the blood is affected, and the psychological effects are then the knock-on effects. Addictive substances affect the brain in many ways. This includes moods, depression, anxiety and the need to crave more and more of the substance. Detox is the way to slowly wean off the substance safely. You will gradually take less and less of the substance until you are finally free.

The effects of the drugs will finally disappear from your system. Whilst you may have some mild withdrawal symptoms, these will be easily managed.  You may be given mild pain relief or medication to help you if it is severe. The severity of your withdrawal phase will be determined by the type of drug and the frequency of use. A drug and alcohol detox is completed in a medical environment with a full medical team. It is usually a 7-day process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does rehab last?
Unfortunately, there is no straightforward answer to that. The average stay at rehab lasts around 28 days, but ultimately it will depend on the nature and severity of your addiction. Some patients are good to go after the detox clinic, around 10 days, whereas some patients need much longer, up to 12 weeks.
When should I seek treatment for addiction?
It can be difficult to know when you have developed a problem, but there are some warning signs to look out for. If you find yourself trying to hide your drinking or you are drinking in secret or if your friends and family are beginning to comment on your drinking or drug use, it could be a sign that you need help. The surest and most worrying sign that you have developed an addiction is if you find yourself constantly looking forwards to your next drink or hit, or if you feel unusual or ill when you have gone without for a little while.
Can family members visit me during rehab?
A family intervention is often the first step in a person’s recovery, as the addict themselves will often be in denial about the existence or extent of their problem. Once they are in rehab though, they are already committed to their own recovery. The presence of family members can be beneficial and some sort of family therapy can be useful, but this will depend from one case to the next and visits will generally need to be approved first by therapists and other addiction recovery specialists at the rehab centre.
