• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms
• Binge drinking

• Hiding substance abuse from people you can trust

What Happens at Rehab in Germany

In alcohol and drug rehab in Germany, you will very simply be given treatments that are designed to deal with your addiction. One key treatment is therapy, which is designed to help you understand your mental health and your needs so that you are mentally able when it comes to learning how to manage your addiction in the long term.

So, how does therapy help you understand your needs? Well, therapy is made to help you learn how to communicate with yourself and your therapist through a variety of methods so that you can find out what works best for you. One common example is the use of holistic therapy.

Holistic therapy known as art therapy is very useful for people struggling to communicate their inner thoughts and feelings. So during your therapy sessions, you may be asked to draw a picture.

This could be an alternative method for you to express yourself or give you a mindful activity that will make it easier for you to relax and open up. Once you and your therapist understand the reason behind your substance abuse and addiction, you can start working on ways to manage your addiction.

Unfortunately, addiction cannot be cured and, instead, must be something you live with. So therapy teaches you how to live with it. This is done through tools and strategies that you can adapt to your everyday life.

Once you understand the triggers for your cravings, you can try to avoid them and even find strategies to safely deal with them without resorting to substance abuse. This allows you to face your challenges head-on without relapsing.
