Dover Drug and Alcohol Rehab Treatment Centres

Are you struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction in the Dover area? If so, you are not alone. There are people suffering from addictions all over the world and the numbers are rising daily. If you think that you may have an addiction to drugs or alcohol, then you should reach out for help as soon as possible.

The sooner you reach out for help with your addiction, the more chance you have of fully recovering. Addictions can very easily spiral out of control, so you need to reach out for help as soon as possible before it gets any worse.

How Do I Know I Have an Addiction?

When people are suffering from addiction they often tell themselves that they don’t have a problem. They will try to mask it and pretend like nothing is wrong.

This is common as addiction can make your brain believe that you need the substance you are taking and therefore makes excuses up for you to keep using. Sometimes people in addiction are fairly self-aware and know there is an issue, if you’re reading this then the chances are you are one of them.

However, you still may be wondering if you are far enough into an addiction to need help from rehab. Even if your addiction is mild, it still merits help and support and should be done sooner rather than later as addiction is a progressive disease and gets worse the longer you leave it.

There are many symptoms of addiction that you can look out for if some of these sound like you or someone you love; you may want to look into rehab as an option for treatment as soon as possible. Some of the symptoms are:

• Changes in behaviour
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Paranoia
• Fatigue
• Irritability
• Forgetfulness
• Reckless behaviour
• Being dishonest or more secretive
• Dissociation
• Workload suffering
• Losing interest in things you enjoyed prior
• Being unsuccessful at stopping using
• Continuing use despite negative outcomes

What if I’m Worried About Rehab?

There’s a lot of stigma around rehab, a lot of misconceptions mean people feel worried or intimidated by the thought of attending rehab for their recovery journey.

However, rehab is actually a very positive place filled with new friendships and new beginnings. Some of the therapies are extremely relaxing and can even be very fun.

During creative therapies such as music therapy or art therapy, people have found that they have new hobbies or hidden talents they knew nothing about.

During group therapies, you may make new friends and learn about new things as well as more about yourself. There are often fun activities such as quiz nights and movie nights and in wellbeing therapy, you will enjoy some physical activities such as boxing or yoga.

Some people worry about the length of stay in rehab. How long you stay depends on varying factors such as the severity of your addiction. As mentioned earlier if you have a milder addiction you may only need to stay for a few days to a few weeks, if you have a more severe addiction you may need to spend a few months in rehab.

It also depends on your financial situation and what you can afford. There is always a way to help you no matter your situation.

Some people worry if they can see loved ones or if others can visit them. Of course, you can be visited. Obviously, not all the time as you are there for treatment.

However, sometimes your loved ones may need to come in for therapy with them. In rehab your relationships are important and the ones you want to rebuild and reconnect with will be allowed into rehab sessions to work through therapy and allow your relationship to mend and flourish.

Sometimes there may be points where you may need more time alone and away from family and friends so this will also be taken into account.

You will be completely safe in rehab, there are medical professionals and psychologists on site who will attend to your every need.

The detoxing process will be safe in rehab as you will be accompanied by nurses who will monitor you and keep you comfortable. You may even be given medications to make the detoxing process easier and prevent any serious side effects.

What Happens When You Leave Rehab?

One of the biggest worries people have about rehab is leaving after the treatment. Of course, this is daunting as you have spent time learning about yourself and who you are and getting better.

However, rehab staff do not just leave you alone to fend for yourself, there is an aftercare team who will help you with everything you may need when leaving.

Whether you need help with finding accommodation or a new job, whether it’s finding a local support group to help move forward, they will be happy to help and will support you every step of the way.
