Frequently Asked Questions
What is life like after rehab?
The truth is that life after rehab can be hard—especially the first year. Many relapses that occur happen within the first year out of drug and alcohol treatment, as some people think they can deal with returning to old environments and confronting addiction triggers regularly. Because of this, we offer a free 12-month aftercare package to help those just out of rehab. Life after rehab can be fulfilling and clearer without the constant worry of relapse hanging over. That worry might always be there, but with our help and others around, former addicts can learn to deal with the struggle and revitalise their life.
What happens during Detoxification?
Detoxification at Nova Recovery happens in stages. You will be evaluated to decide the severity of your addiction and your mental and physical state. With this information, a detox plan will be devised. Stabilisation is next when the harmful toxins are removed from the body. Medication is administered to help you through the withdrawal, helping your body and mind stabilise. After that you can move on to additional addiction treatments, focusing on psychological intervention.
Can you recover without rehab?
Yes, you can but doing it successfully and maintaining sobriety is a very rare feat to accomplish without professional help. Coming off drugs or alcohol alone can be very dangerous as your body may have become dependent on the substances – some people experience serious medical difficulties if they go it alone. Also attending a drug and alcohol rehab will help you confront the emotional issues that led to addiction and provide you with coping techniques. It takes a rare kind of strength to recover without rehab and it is best to seek professional help in any kind of capacity.
