There are many different signs and symptoms of addiction, which can vary depending on the individual and the substance involved. Some common symptoms of drug or alcohol addiction include:
You may also be worried about a loved one who you believe is in the grip of an addiction. Some signs to watch out for could include:
Neither of these are comprehensive lists but if any of the signs and symptoms apply, you should treat them as a red flag. If you are worried about a partner, family member, friend or other loved one, we can offer family intervention as well as confidential advice and friend and family referrals.
Once you have decided that you need help you will need to decide what kind of treatment option to go for. With inpatient rehab based at a private drug and alcohol rehab you will stay onsite, which takes you away from all the usual stresses and situations that might be associated with your addiction and drinking or drug use.
You will have access to round the clock care when needed and will be in the best possible hands. With outpatient rehab, on the other hand, you will be in your usual location and will have to attend treatment sessions and go through detox with minimal assistance and supervision.
This type of programme can be good for some people but residential treatment is still the better option for most serious addiction problems.
The exact structure of a rehab programme will vary because each is tailored to your own individual circumstances, but they generally include:
One of the big first steps of most stays in rehab is the process known as the alcohol or drug detox. This is when your body metabolises the drugs or alcohol from your system and is usually accompanied by intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
The symptoms can vary widely depending on whether you are recovering from a cannabis addiction, a cocaine addiction, another type of drug addiction or an alcohol addiction. They can be severe for any type of addiction though, and it is always safer and easier to undergo a medically assisted detox at an alcohol and drug rehab.
A holistic addiction treatment programme will also include a range of therapies and other treatments. These will generally include techniques such as cognitive behaviour therapy, counselling and group therapy sessions.
The aim is to explore the root causes of your addiction and change your patterns of thought and behaviour, equipping you with everything you need to stay clean and sober moving forward. Some rehabs will also address mental health issues.
Leaving an addiction unchecked and untreated is never a good idea. It can have a big impact on your health, relationships and other aspects of your life, with the risks growing each day.

Dual diagnosis is a technical term for when a mental health condition and an addiction problem exist in the same person at the same time. These two elements will often have a complex relationship, each affecting the other to different extents. It is often possible to treat both parts at the same time with dual diagnosis treatment.
