What are the main causes of addiction?
The reasons why people become addicted to alcohol or drugs are incredibly varied. However, there are some fairly common causes which have led to a life of addiction. Some of these are:
- Unfortunately, if you’ve grown up in an environment where people around you are frequently abusing alcohol or drugs, then you’re much more likely to develop similar habits.
- Those who suffer with mental health issues can become addicted to their prescribed medication as they continue to increase their dosage in order to gain the same effects.
- Some of us are just more genetically inclined to become addicted to alcohol or drugs. Everyone handles situations differently and all of us have unique triggers.
- When people are recreationally using drugs, they’re likely to try out more serious drugs as part of their lifestyle. When the drugs become increasingly addictive like heroin, they’re extremely hard to stop taking which highlights the importance of professional addiction treatment.
What’s our drug and alcohol treatment centre in Gillingham like?
Firstly, we want to remove any wrong perceptions that people may have of private rehab centres or just rehab centres in general. Many people think that they will be looked down on for attending rehab, whereas in actual fact, people will be proud of you for taking the correct steps to achieving recovery. Drug and alcohol treatment centres aren’t cold or hospital like as you may think, our rehab in Gillingham is a very comfortable facility with a relaxing, positive environment to encourage change.
Our highly trained team are experts in addiction treatment, many of them have previously gone through drug and alcohol rehabilitation themselves. This gives them an added advantage of being able to empathise and fully understand what our clients are going through as they support them. We have counsellors, therapists, doctors, nurses, and support workers all part of our fantastic team at our rehab in Gillingham.
Not only do we ensure your safe and secure during your time with us, we also take care of any additional needs such housekeeping, laundry and making sure that you have nutritious daily meals. All of this helps towards you making an effective recovery as it becomes your sole focus throughout your treatment programme.
What are the treatment options like at our rehab centre?
All of our treatment programmes are unique to each individuals’ needs, however it’s likely that we’ll recommend you begin with a visit to our detox clinic. This is an essential starting point for most as if the harmful toxins remain in your system, it’s difficult for the rest of your treatment programme to have a real effect. Detoxification is an uncomfortable process, but we wouldn’t suggest it unless we thought it would make a significant difference to your results. Attempting to detox at home alone can be extremely dangerous. Withdrawal symptoms are likely to arise, some of which can be very challenging to deal with. This is why it’s vital that you’re surrounded by a team of medical professionals who can monitor you 24/7 and offer prescribed medication to ease the symptoms if necessary.
Our combination of talking therapies both one-to-one and group, and our more holistic therapies is very important in aiding your recovery. The amount of therapies and the intensity of each one will vary depending on your personal programme, we’ll talk you through all of these during your pre-admission assessment. We also arrange social activities for you to enjoy in your down time, these include daily group walks or runs, leisure and group outings, quiz or film nights, and family visits if you wish to.
We appreciate that transitioning from our residential treatment centre back into home life can be quite challenging. You must allow yourself some time to readjust and not be too hard on yourself, everyone who has completed a treatment programme is feeling the same way. The first year after completing your treatment can be the most crucial. This is when it’s easiest to fall back into old habits particularly when you’re back at home. We offer a free 12-month aftercare programme which addresses all of these problems. It’s there primarily to help you maintain motivation and to avoid potential relapses. We’ll offer you support with establishing a healthy routine, coordinating network sessions with other people going through addiction and also just be there for you to offer additional advice.
