Is Rehab Right for Me?

Rehab is perfect for anyone that is suffering from a drug or alcohol addiction. It’s very helpful for those with severe substance use disorders because they will require more attention, care, and supervision.

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts due to your addiction or have any mental health problems that may get worse because of your addiction, it’s important to seek help from rehab as soon as possible.

Rehab is right for you if you feel like your mental health problems may interfere with your recovery progress for example, if you were trying to withdraw from substances at home.

If you have experienced a lot of attempted recoveries in the past but haven’t succeeded, then rehab is the right option for you. If you are the type of person who becomes violent to people around you or your loved ones when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, rehab is the best choice for you.

In rehab, you can comfortably and safely go through an alcohol and drug detox without causing further damage and endangering your family or friends. Rehab is a place where you can commit to your recovery and yourself. After rehabilitation, you can move forward into more positive things and continue your life without relying on drugs or alcohol.

What Causes an Addiction to Drugs or Alcohol?

There is no one cause of an addiction to drugs or alcohol. For certain people, addictions may be a learned behaviour, particularly if there is a family history of substance abuse. Studies prove a link between addictions and genetics[1], although other determining factors exist.

Another common cause of addiction is when a person tries drugs or alcohol at a young age. Children or teenagers who consume drugs or alcohol at a young age are more likely to continue these habits and develop an addiction that goes on into their adult life.

Stress and other mental health problems can be linked to addictions. A person under constant stress can drive a person to consume substances as a coping mechanism, which can quickly lead to a cycle of addiction.

Whether you are consuming alcohol or drugs, escaping reality in the short term means many people will chase this again and again until it becomes an addiction.

No matter what the cause of your addiction is, it’s important that you realise that there is a way out. The best way to overcome your addiction is to enter a rehab setting and get the professional treatment you need.

 

What Can I Expect from Rehab?

When you attend a private drug and alcohol rehab, sometimes referred to as inpatient rehab, you can expect high levels of care and support.

Below is a list of the treatments and benefits that you can expect from attending a drug or alcohol rehab centre in Colinton:

  • A complete detox from drugs and alcohol
  • Psychotherapy with accredited and highly experienced therapists
  • Fitness classes
  • Complementary therapies
  • Accommodation
  • Home cooked meals
  • Free aftercare when you leave the rehab setting

 

Detoxing and Withdrawing from Drugs or Alcohol

The first step in any rehab treatment programme is to detox. Most rehab centres will provide a medically assisted drug and alcohol detox. This is where you will work with a medical professional to ensure your detox experience is as safe and comfortable as possible.

Detoxing is when all traces of drugs and alcohol in your body will be removed entirely. A large portion of the detox process is getting through the withdrawal symptoms, which is why we recommended rehab.

Some of the most common types of withdrawal symptoms include the following:

  • Cold sweats
  • Insomnia
  • Feeling lightheaded
  • Feeling agitated
  • Depression
  • Aches and pains

The withdrawal symptoms can start within a couple of hours but may not start for some people after a few days. The entire detoxing process usually lasts for around 7 – 14 days. The experience is different for everyone.

Detoxing is essential to your recovery process because it would be impossible for you to tackle the psychological aspects of your addiction if the substances you’re addicted to are clouding your mind.

Once you have a clear mind and are no longer physically dependent, you can then move forward with your psychological treatments and therapies. This is how you’ll get the best results from further treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will sober living increase my overall health?

Living a life of sobriety will have countless benefits to your overall health. When you are not taking drugs and/or consuming alcohol then there is a plethora of benefits to your mental health and your physical health — these benefits may include the likes of avoiding illnesses such as many types of cancers, heart disorders, depression-related illnesses, and much more. You will also find that, thanks to not having to worry about the financial instability of having to supplement your addiction, you will experience a more fulfilling day-to-day life.

How do I achieve sobriety?

While there is no one single answer to this question, there are a multitude of things that you can do to help become sober. Firstly, you should be committed to the idea of recovery, as if you are not 100% committed then you will simply fall down at the first hurdle. You should also be prepared to make significant changes to your day-to-day life, as change is a massive part of the recovery process. Finally, you should reach out for the assistance of a professional treatment centre — becoming sober along can be nearly impossible, and there is no shame in asking for help when you need it.
