If you have realised that you are an addict, then you’ve already taken the first step towards recovery. That is a victory that many people cannot face up to. You should then do some research to assess your treatment options. Taking the time to find the right path for you will mean that the treatment has a better chance of working and decrease the risk of relapsing in the future.

The detoxification process can be painful but the type of physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms experienced can vary widely depending on the substance involved and other factors. Alcohol withdrawal, for example, can lead to physical symptoms such as headaches, muscle pain, shakes, tremors and even seizures. It is always best to undergo detox in a supervised setting such as rehab.

When do I need to go to rehab?

An untreated addiction can cause a lot of damage – not only to your own physical and mental health but to your relationship, career and the well-being of those around you. It is therefore always best to seek help as soon as you acknowledge that you have a problem. Even if you have struggled with an addiction for years though, it is never too late to break the vicious cycle and finally break free from the grip of drugs and alcohol.
