Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Sunderland

When Should I Get Help From An Addiction Treatment Centre in Sunderland?

To most, alcohol and drug consumption is innocent. Used for celebratory purposes, social situations or to relax after a hard day’s work. However, for others, getting through certain life events, or even day to day without their chosen substance is a challenge.

Any form of substance abuse can have a significant effect on an individual’s health, both physical and mental. Low irregular consumption can turn into consistent high use easily, causing many side effects. Chronic addictions can deteriorate your health by causing issues such as cardiovascular problems, liver and brain damage. This is why at Ocean Recovery we recommend getting professional help as soon as possible, to limit any long-term or permanent damage. Addiction is a dangerous and common killer in the United Kingdom.

Are you based in Sunderland or the surrounding area, suffering from an addiction, but hoping to overcome it? Whether you’ve previously attempted through rehab clinics in Sunderland, or not, taking the first step now is important for your future.

You may feel that overcoming your addiction will be impossible. However, with the right help, you can work through this difficult time. Here at Ocean Recovery Centre, we offer residential addiction treatment in Sunderland, moving you away from your influences to help you tackle your dependency. Take the first step to a drug or alcohol-free future today with our expert team.

 

The First Steps Towards Recovery – Detoxification

The first step to take when considering recovery is to work on the physical connection individuals have. This is where a detox programme will be completed to slowly wean off your alcohol consumption. This is controlled by our medical experts to ensure that your health is being protected.

This is one of the most difficult episodes throughout the whole rehab process. Withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, hallucinations and anxiety will set in as your intake decreases. However, this step is necessary for successful long-term recovery. We will work with you through this time to show how working through this difficult part will produce positive results, by slowly diminishing your addiction.

 

Treatments And Therapies Available In Rehab

Once you’ve completed your detox, the next step of the rehabilitation process will be to work on the psychological link. This step will begin by understanding your underlying connection with drugs or alcohol. From here, our expert team will be able to recommend the most appropriate addiction treatments.

Treatments will usually include support groups, cognitive behavioural therapy and one-to-one sessions to help change your outlook on drug and alcohol consumption. You may currently experience negative thoughts and mental health issues. This treatment will help change your mindset, helping you envision a future without the drug.

Once you have completed your individual treatment plan, both psychological and physical connections you have with the substance will be depleted. Every individual is different so a bespoke treatment plan will be created for every client that enters our facility. However, be assured that you will receive residential support up until you feel ready to return home to Sunderland, and beyond through aftercare.

 

Relapse Prevention For When You Leave Addiction Treatment

Alongside your addiction treatment, our specialised team will provide relapse prevention sessions to help you prevent and prepare for any future relapses. Relapses can happen – we do not sugar-coat rehabilitation here at Ocean Recovery Centre. Every individual reacts differently to addiction treatment therefore, we cannot promise that cravings won’t creep in. With that said, we ensure that every client is provided with the tools and life-saving skills to overcome any future episodes. Throughout your treatment you will also learn natural, healthy coping mechanism tools, helping you avoid drugs and alcohol in times of need.

We will also prepare your family for any future episodes. They will be kept in the loop throughout your residential addiction treatment, to support you through this time of transformation. They will also gain an understanding of your personal ways of coping to ensure you are maintaining a positive routine when returning home to Sunderland.

To help you post-rehab, we provide aftercare support to all of our clients. We can offer guidance, a listening ear or recommend further treatment if you are struggling once positioned back in your old environment.

 

Why Residential Rehab Treatment Further Afield Is Beneficial

We understand that moving away from your loved ones through this difficult time may seem distressing. However, research has found that relocating to a residential rehab centre promotes greater recovery. Overcoming an addiction can be difficult when you are surrounded by your day to day influences.

With support being a key driving force for long-term recovery, we will ensure that you receive a strong support network while away from your loved ones. Our team are experts in the field of addiction, understanding how to support you through each stage of rehab.

Comfort is also a necessity to positively progress through treatment. We will provide a safe haven for you to unwind, relax and focus on your new alcohol-free future. We will take your requirements into consideration to ensure you have the best opportunity to transform your outlook on alcohol, leaving our centre with a new lease of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing the right rehab treatment provider can be a life-changing decision; here are some of the most common questions we are asked pre-admission.

How do I help a family member enter treatment?

Entering treatment is a personal commitment, meaning that your family member will need to accept and complete rehab independently. However, you can influence and encourage this step by activating a family and friends’ referral, and potentially a family intervention. Both will showcase your concern, along with the encouragement of rehab, which we can help you with here at Ocean Recovery.

How long do rehab programmes last?

Every rehab programme will be different through rehab, following personal needs and circumstances. However, typically, an inpatient programme will last 28 days, followed by ongoing access to aftercare services.

What happens during a medical detox?

Offering medical assurance and safety, a medical detox promotes the elimination of toxins, such as drugs and alcohol, through a withdrawal process. Providing a safe structure to follow, withdrawal symptoms can be reduced through a comfortable and manageable process.
