Find Treatment Centres for Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Sittingbourne

Sittingbourne Drug and Alcohol Rehab Treatment Centres

The number of people in the UK suffering with addictions is at a record high. The best way that you can eradicate an addiction to drugs or alcohol is by attending a residential rehab centre.

Whether your addiction is long term or it is relatively new, you need to seek addiction treatment as soon as possible. Too many addicts leave their addictions untreated and this can lead to devastating effects.

Many addicts will put off recovery even if they know there is a serious problem present. Don’t let that be you! If you find yourself falling deeper and deeper into the traps and darkness of an addiction cycle, the best thing you can possibly do is reach out today and get the professional help that you need to make a full recovery.

If you are looking for a drug or alcohol rehab centre in Sittingbourne, get in touch with us today to find out how we can help you find the best treatment centre to suit your specific needs.

What Are Withdrawal Symptoms?

The first step in your recovery from a drug or alcohol addiction will always include a detox. This is where you completely stop taking the substance that you’re addicted to and allow your body time to completely remove the substance from your system so that you’re ready to move on with the next stages of your long-term recovery.

This can be a very difficult stage and you can expect to experience a lot of negative withdrawal symptoms. These withdrawal symptoms are what makes recovery so hard if you attempt to do it alone. When you attend a rehab centre, the staff are experienced in helping you deal with these withdrawals and they can even offer you prescription medication if they feel that it is needed to make you feel more comfortable.

Below are some of the withdrawal symptoms that you can expect when detoxing from drugs or alcohol:

• Insomnia
• Nausea
• Tremors
• Fluctuating body temperature
• Sweating
• Fatigue
• Digestive discomfort
• Shaking
• Clammy hands

As you can see, these are very negative experiences that can make the detoxing process very uncomfortable. For your best chances of successfully detoxing from the drugs or alcohol that you’re addicted to, you should seek out a residential rehab.

Rehab offers you the best chances of successfully making a full recovery and returning to a happy, healthy life that is completely free from drugs or alcohol.

Aftercare When You Leave the Rehab Setting

An essential part of rehab treatment is the aftercare program that you receive. Although you may feel like you’ve made a full recovery in rehab, you may struggle to get back to your everyday life after leaving the treatment centre as you’ll be surrounded by all of your old triggers and influences.

It can be especially hard to go back to your normal life if your social group on the outside contains people who also use drugs or alcohol regularly. Rehab will offer you an aftercare program to ensure that you stay on top of your goals and to keep you from relapsing when you return to your home environment.

Returning back to sober lifestyle can be very difficult, especially shortly after you leave the rehab centre. There will always be temptations and triggers that can make you want to start abusing substances again. This is why many people who attend a rehab centre decide to make big changes in their life after leaving.

There are many positive changes that you can make after leaving rehab to ensure that you stay on top of your goals and to limit your chances of relapsing. Things such as moving to a less stressful job, moving to a new area, or surrounding yourself with a different social group are just a few examples of things that can help you stay on the right path after rehab.

There are many services available that can also help with your aftercare program. Things such as attending group meetings with other recovering addicts or attending cognitive behavioural therapy sessions can help to keep you on the right track. You must stay motivated to your recovery to ensure that you don’t end up relapsing after your treatment.

How Do I Know If an Addiction is Present?

There are a lot of negative stereotypes associated with drug and alcohol addictions that simply aren’t true.

For example, many people will believe that as an addict you will be homeless, bankrupt, and have no friends. This stereotype couldn’t be further from the truth.

While there are some cases where these things come hand in hand with an addiction, most of the time addictions can happen to absolutely anyone, no matter their walk of life. Addiction can happen to anyone at any time, and many people don’t seem to recognise this.

Many people become addicts because they are covering up problems or using substances to cope with the stress of their work or family life. It’s important to remember that addictions are an illness and without getting professional help, your chances of making a full long term recovery are very slim.

Since addictions are an illness, there is no way that you can control it, so without seeking the help that you need, the cycle will just continue to go on and on.

When you rely on substances to make you feel some kind of high, this is usually the sign of an addiction-forming. Addictive substances contain chemicals which alter the chemicals in your brain and emphasise the addictive behaviour, trapping you in a cycle of addiction. You’ll want to keep abusing substances to keep feeling that high that you crave.

If you want to completely overcome an addiction, rehab is your best option.
