Addiction to drugs or alcohol is often more common than you would think. It is not something to be ashamed of or something to try and hide. Instead, it is a complex medical issue that requires specialised treatment in order to overcome.
At Nova Recovery, we offer you private rehabilitation centres with treatment plans designed specifically for you and your needs.
To put it simply, addiction is formed when your brain becomes reliant on a stimulant. This doesn’t necessarily have to be chemical like drugs or alcohol. It could also be a behavioural addiction such as gambling or video games.
But in either case, dopamine is being produced due to stimulants like substance abuse. This rush of the domain is what makes your brain feel pleasure. The danger is that soon you will need more drugs or alcohol to produce the same effect, and your body will crave that rush.
Eventually, your brain will believe that it needs drugs or alcohol to produce any dopamine at all, and so the addiction is born.
Many people can miss the early warning signs of addiction, especially a drinking problem, due to the build-up tolerance. As the UK has such a big drinking culture, many would not notice if a family member or a friend is drinking too much so long as they do it socially and have a high tolerance.
The danger with chemical addictions such as alcohol or drugs like heroin is that you can’t just quit on your own.
You will experience withdrawals if you go too long without your substance of choice, and these can be very dangerous if experienced outside of a controlled medical facility.
If you are ready to begin the path away from drug and alcohol addiction, then you are in the right place.

As every person is unique and no two people will have an addiction for the same reason, every treatment plan is different.
In most cases, the treatment plan will contain a few standard steps, which will be detox, therapy and relapse prevention.
These various stages are designed to address the chemical addiction, the mental addiction and to prevent you from returning to drugs or alcohol abuse when you have left the drug and alcohol rehab centre.
You will also work closely with a support worker who will see that you have all the tools you need to progress safely in the rehab environment.
The main purpose of the rehabilitation centre is to keep from doing drugs and consuming alcohol long enough for you to learn the necessary skills so that you don’t need others to keep you away from temptation.
It is about enabling you to take control of your life so that you can develop healthy coping mechanisms to replace drugs and alcohol.
While it is recommended that you complete the detoxification process, therapy and aftercare services, the treatment options are available individually to accommodate any budget or lifestyle.
You also have the option of outpatient or inpatient treatment plans in order to cater for your specific needs.
The detoxification process is a very important part of your stay at the rehabilitation centre. It is a key part of any addiction treatment as it allows you to safely work through the withdrawal symptoms.
The detoxification process tends to take around ten days. It can be done remotely in the comfort of your own home with supervision from a support worker. However, most prefer to take the residential option as it allows them more access to the rehabilitation centre’s resources.
During the process, you will be monitored day and night by fully qualified medical staff who can make sure the withdrawal symptoms don’t prove too much for your body to handle and can provide medication to prevent that from happening.
A detox is not needed for all kinds of addictions.
It is needed for chemical addictions such as alcohol addiction or drugs such as heroin as these substances change your brain’s chemistry.
However, for an addiction that is mostly due to mental effects such as weed, then detox is not needed. Instead, therapy and avoidance can be enough to overcome your addiction.
There are many different reasons a person may turn to substance abuse. Still, the most common are undiagnosed mental illness conditions.
Many use their treatment plan as a way to receive a dual diagnosis in order to carry on their treatments and therapy addressing their mental illness after they leave the rehabilitation centre.
Relapse prevention is very important in your journey to long term recovery. Once you have finished your treatment plan, you will be able to access aftercare services.
These can include a referral for follow up therapy sessions or to a local support groups such as alcoholics anonymous or narcotics anonymous.
Very importantly, you will be given a personalised relapse prevention plan which will include tools and strategies for you to incorporate into your everyday life to avoid temptation and ignore your cravings.
Nova Recovery can offer you everything you need for a successful recovery. We provide top quality service in a safe and clean environment. We allow you to focus on yourself and provide you with qualified support workers to take care of your every need.
Detoxing is the safest way for you to rid your body of addictive substances. When you detox from drugs or alcohol, you will experience a range of negative side effects from withdrawal. During your detox in rehab, you will be monitored around the clock and will have access to medical assistance if your withdrawal symptoms are quite severe. Detoxing aims to rid your system of all substances.
Dual diagnosis is a term used to describe a condition where a mental health problem exists at the same time as the addiction. These two illnesses will usually have a complex relationship, each affecting the other one to different extents. It is usually possible to treat both of these at the same time with a dual diagnosis treatment programme.
Residential rehab is great because it gives you a place to stay outside of your normal triggers. This means that you have a safe and comfortable environment for your recovery, making the chances of a full recovery much higher. You also get full-time support and medical supervision during your stay at rehab.
In recent years, ketamine, an anaesthetic and pain relief medication, has gained attention as a potential breakthrough for treatment-resistant depression. Depression is a complex and often debilitating condition affecting millions of people worldwide. Traditional treatments like antidepressants and therapy help many people, but we also have cases known as treatment-resistant…
