Quite shockingly, Scotland has more drug deaths per capita than any other European country according to a 2019 BBC report. Official statistics show the number of drug-related deaths in Scotland soar to 1,187 in 2018 which is a 27% increase from the previous year; this is in addition to the 1,136 alcohol specific deaths in Scotland in 2018.

The country’s drug death rate is now nearly three times that of the UK as a whole and higher than any other country in Europe. Sadly, out of these drug related deaths, 72% were male says the National Records of Scotland, and mostly aged 35-44.

Clearly, as the number of drug and alcohol addictions increase, there is more demand for drug and alcohol rehabilitation hospitals like ours. The good news is that we can help you overcome your addiction, no matter how severe your condition is or how long you’ve been living with it.

 

What can you do if you have an addiction to alcohol or drugs?

Admitting that you need professional help can seem like a daunting task, particularly if you haven’t really accepted your condition yourself yet.

Many people live in denial about their addiction, making it even more difficult to receive treatment. Once you’ve taken the brave step of reaching out to our drug and alcohol rehab in Kirkcudbrightshire, you can begin your transformation journey to a life free from alcohol or drugs.

Initially, we can carry out an assessment with you over the phone to gain a better understanding of your addiction and design a suitable treatment programme which is unique to your condition.

We can’t stress enough how important it is to open up to someone about what you’re going through, whether that’s a friend or family member, an anonymous helpline, or us, we’re all here to listen and help you through this challenging time in your life.

Beginning your residential addiction treatment can feel like a whirlwind of emotions.

Our fantastic team of recovery workers will welcome you into our warm and relaxed environment, ensuring you’re familiarised with your surroundings and comfortable in your private room before beginning treatment.

Typically, your first treatment will be a drug and alcohol detoxification which effectively removes the remaining toxins from your system, allowing your body and mind to cleanse.

Whilst this is a highly successful treatment method, it isn’t without its risks as withdrawal symptoms are fairly common.

These can range from mild nausea, dizziness, and headaches, to more severe symptoms such as seizures, insomnia, or delirium tremens (DT’s), all of which require urgent medical attention.

Due to the seriousness of this treatment, it’s essential that you undergo a drug and alcohol detoxification with the supervision of a medical team to ensure your safety throughout the process. Otherwise, you could be leaving yourself at risk of developing a life-threatening illness or disease.

Once you’ve completed your drug and alcohol detoxification, our team will continue to work with you as you begin your psychological and well-being therapies. Our evidence-based therapies are industry-leading and have a fantastic rate of success in addiction recoveries.

Whilst we personalise each of our client’s treatment programmes, we regularly feature some of the most useful therapies which will bring you even closer to achieving long-term recovery.

These include cognitive behavioural therapy, stress management, drug and alcohol relapse prevention, individual, group or family counselling, mindfulness, yoga, relaxation and sleep management, low-level laser therapy, art therapy, music therapy, and nutritional support.
