The Effects of Addictions

Some people may use drugs or alcohol as a way of socialising with friends. However, other people use drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism or to escape feelings of stress or anxiety. This may be things like trauma, grief, or a mental health issue such as bipolar disorder, depression, or OCD.

The high that you get when you consume drugs or alcohol can make you feel quite happy in that moment. However, when the substances start to leave your system, the coming down can be very difficult. These effects may even make you consume more drugs or alcohol to stay happy and avoid these negative feelings. This is how people can become addicts without even realising it.

Below is a list of some of the most common signs and symptoms of addictions.

• Bad temper
• Mood swings
• Lying to family and friends about how much alcohol or drugs you’re consuming
• Low self-esteem
• Irritability
• Feeling unable to relax without drugs or alcohol

A Breakdown of Your Time In Rehab

There are three main goals when you go to rehab. These are the following:

• To get rid of the substance intake
• To increase your overall quality of life
• To avoid relapses in the future

All the above steps can be achieved with the three main steps of rehab. The three main steps of rehab include the following:

• Detoxing
• Rehabilitation
• Aftercare

Detoxing

The very first stage of rehab involves the initial alcohol and drug detox. This is where you will stop taking drugs or alcohol so that you can become clean of substances. The drug and alcohol detox process can result in some very negative withdrawal symptoms such as:

• Tremors
• Paranoia
• Vomiting
• Hallucinations
• Restlessness
• Fever

Due to these very negative withdrawal effects, it’s essential that you go through your detox in a rehab setting where you are constantly monitored by medical staff.

Our staff will ensure that you remain as safe and comfortable as possible throughout the process. If your withdrawal symptoms are quite severe, you may be given some prescription medication to help ease the symptoms. The detox programme will usually last for around ten days.

Rehabilitation

Once you have completed the detox, you will then start an assortment of therapy sessions whose aim is to deal with the psychological side of your addiction.

During your therapy sessions, you will work with a professional who will help you learn more about why your addiction started in the first place. Your therapist will teach you new ways of thinking and new behaviours.

The hope with newly taught, learned, and practiced thoughts is that you can make positive decisions in the future. This is done through a range of therapies including:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
• Group Therapy
• Addiction Counselling
• Drama Therapy
• Psychoeducation

We encourage group therapy as you will meet other recovering addicts. You are able to share your stories, struggles, and successes while in rehab and perhaps you will remain connected once your time in the rehab facility has ended.

Aftercare

Once you have completed your time in rehab, you will return home. This can be a challenging time as you will go back to being surrounded by your usual triggers and stresses

Relapsing is very common in the first twelve months after rehab consequently, we offer 12 months of free aftercare when you leave rehab. You will continue with some of your therapies and attend group meetings to help with your motivation. These can help you keep up your positive life choices moving forward.

When you return home, it’s very important that your recovery continues so that you can continue to live a sober life. The aftercare programme is great for helping you avoid any chances of relapsing. Contact us today to start your journey to a rewarding life.
