Alcohol and drug addiction are full of complexities that can affect anyone. Addiction is a disease, and it may manifest from childhood traumas, falling into the wrong crowd, or the abuse of prescription medications. If you are struggling with addiction, it is important that you seek help at a rehab centre such as ours at Nova Recovery.

Overcoming substance addiction can feel daunting. You may feel an intense and uncontrollable urge to continue consuming the substance, but long-term abuse will often lead to medical problems, including the risk of accidental overdose.
Addictions are types of compulsive behaviours that must be controlled before the problem spirals out of control. Obtaining treatment does not have to be difficult. At Nova Recovery, you can gain access to controlled treatments, and therapies, as well as long-term support that aids you with self-care.
In order to regain control of your life, you must pinpoint the reason behind your alcohol addiction. This will allow us to navigate these issues, and deal with them individually for optimum success. Some of the common causes of addiction are:
Addiction causes disruption and manipulation of the neurotransmitters in the brain. This means that it can heighten your emotions, and exacerbate pre-existing mental illness.

If you have had a persistent desire to remove addiction from your life, then your first step begins with drug or alcohol rehabilitation. Private rehab offers diverse programmes that vary in length. The beginning phase of any private rehab is detoxing, also known as detoxification. If you find yourself struggling with important obligations at work, school or home, then you may realise that you need some help.
Drug and alcohol detox starts during the first week of your stay at rehab. This occurs within a medical environment, with our medical personnel. This includes doctors and nurses that will alleviate your symptoms. A medically assisted drug detox weans you off the addictive substance using support and guidance. Once this is complete, you will begin a series of therapies.
These may include detailed behavioural therapy, counselling and certain occupational therapy measures, including, creative and art therapies and mindfulness exercises.
You will also address the reasons behind your addiction which hindered you from making good life choices and progressing with life/career goals.
Withdrawal symptoms can vary depending on the type of addiction and its severity. However, all withdrawal symptoms will be managed and mitigated by a dedicated team of medical professionals.
Generally, withdrawal symptoms manifest similarly in every patient. Although, some symptoms may be characterised differently depending on severity. Here is what you are likely to expect:
Private drug rehab safely manages all of the above symptoms with minimal to zero risk to health. However, if you choose the route of ‘cold turkey’ by yourself, there could be serious repercussions. For successful sobriety and good long-term health, you should complete detox in a rehab to avoid serious complications which can arise such as illness or death.
The World Health Organization (WHO), have found that acute symptoms may last between one and four weeks. In private rehab, you will be fully supported, and you may even be given medicines, which have an antispasmodic, calming or anxiolytic effect and are therefore suitable for reducing withdrawal symptoms.
Rehabilitation is an intense approach to tackling your mental health issues in a controlled atmosphere.
In private rehab, you will create this positive change in a luxury environment. Our clinic is within the beautiful Largs, just a short distance from Bonnybridge, where there is fresh air and countryside at your fingertips. Step out into nature any time you desire, and learn to rewire your mind, to focus on stability and success.
The integration of relatives may also be part of your stay with us, which will allow you to heal and rebuild relationships. After successful alcohol rehabilitation, we will create an aftercare plan. We take pride in knowing that all of our patients are adequately supported post-rehab.
We encourage follow-up self-help groups, counselling sessions, and growing your support network for permanent sobriety.
Taking the first initial steps to sobriety doesn’t have to be difficult. In order to sensitively approach the subject, you can speak with confidentiality to one of our staff members, who will be able to guide you appropriately.

As was touched upon before, there are a handful of addiction treatments which are considered mainstays when it comes to recovery programmes. The most common addiction treatments that you may experience during a recovery programme include: one-to-one psychotherapy with a trained therapist, group therapy, and a detoxification treatment. These treatments will often form the backbone of most treatment programmes.
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.
We pride ourselves on making our admissions process simple and straightforward. It starts with an initial enquiry, through which we can answer any questions you have. A pre-admission screening will allow us to create a bespoke recovery programme based on your own individual circumstances. You will be guided through every part of the process and factors like cost and duration of stay will be discussed.
