Do I Need to Go to Rehab?

Many people are put off by the idea of rehab. So instead, when they decide to seek help for their addiction, they use the services of local support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.

Groups such as these can certainly be very helpful for reducing your drug or alcohol use. Still, they can’t provide the treatments you need to overcome your addiction and achieve long-term recovery.

Addiction is much more complicated than just being unable to stop using drugs and alcohol. For one thing, you can be addicted to anything that causes your brain to produce dopamine, and your brain becomes reliant on it to continue to produce the pleasure chemical.

Most commonly, people are addicted to drugs such as cannabis, heroin, prescription pain killers and cocaine. They are also commonly addicted to alcohol and gambling.

You should consider going to a drug or alcohol rehab as it is a safe place to offer you the specialised treatment you need.

In theory, you could overcome your addiction alone. But it would be much more difficult and take you much longer to do. You will also likely relapse further down the line as you haven’t tackled the reason behind your addiction.

If you wouldn’t consider dealing with a dental issue at home on your own, then you shouldn’t want to try and do the same for a drug or alcohol addiction.

You have help available to you. There are plenty of rehab centres to pick from in the Cleethorpes area that can provide you with the support you need to change your life for the better.

At Addiction Advocates, we understand that this can be scary. That it feels easier to shoulder this burden alone so that you don’t have to be open and vulnerable with others. But we also know that with the help of a rehab centre, you will be able to achieve long-term recovery.

You just have to be willing to take the first step and book in with a rehab centre in the Cleethorpes area. Call us on 0800 012 6088 for support.

Medical Detox in Cleethorpes

A medical detox is an important step in your journey to long-term recovery.

It is, in many cases, the treatment that starts off your time at the rehab centre.

The medical detox is important as it allows your body to safely work through the withdrawal symptoms and clear your system of all drugs and alcohol.

A detox would never be attempted outside of a medically supervised setting, ideally a rehab facility. This is because, under the right circumstances, withdrawal symptoms can be very dangerous and even life-threatening.

If you begin to experience any of the following symptoms alone after not having any drugs or alcohol for an extended time period, please make your way to the closest medical facility you can.

The withdrawal symptoms can include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Migraine
• Delirium
• Fever
• Chills
• Hot flashes
• Hives
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Insomnia
• Light sensitivity
• Hallucinations
• Seizure

During your medical detox, you will likely experience some of these symptoms as your body works to filter out all the toxins that include drugs and alcohol.

However, it is important that you remember that you are perfectly safe in an alcohol or drug rehab centre.

Throughout the medical alcohol and drug detox process, you will be monitored night and day by a team of fully qualified medical professionals that have experience helping people get through their detox. They will be there to keep you as safe and as comfortable as possible.

Most importantly, they will be able to monitor your progress and provide you with medication to relive the worst of the withdrawal symptoms before they get too far.

The detox is famously the hard part of rehab. Still, it also gives you a fresh start and an opportunity to focus on the rest of your treatments without the distraction of withdrawal symptoms or cravings.

Therapy Treatments for Addiction

Addiction isn’t something that just happens.

In most cases, substance abuse to the point of addiction is a sign that there is something from with your mental health. And that it needs to be addressed for you to make progress towards your recovery.

Therapy in rehab is centred around helping you to understand why you started your substance abuse and what triggers your cravings. You will also learn coping mechanisms to replace your substance abuse.

The different types of therapy available at rehab are:

• Holistic therapy
• Group therapy
• Motivational interviewing
• Individual therapy
• Cognitive behavioural therapy

The exact type of therapy you will be referred for will be decided by your therapist. It is simply that some types help different people in different ways.

For example, holistic therapy, also known as art therapy, is very useful for someone that has experienced a large amount of trauma and struggles to communicate. It is a low-stakes and relaxing environment that offers alternative communication methods and coping mechanisms.

Aftercare

Your journey doesn’t end with your stay at rehab.

If anything, it is only just beginning.

In order to help you to continue towards long-term recovery, you will have access to aftercare services.

These can include a referral for further therapy sessions or to a local support group in the Cleethorpes area.

You will also be given a relapse prevention plan which has been designed specifically for you. It includes the strategies you learnt during therapy to help you to avoid triggers for your cravings and how to avoid giving in to temptation.
