Depression Treatment Scotland

It is completely normal and natural to feel sadness or have negative thoughts from time to time, especially if there has been a disruption or negativity in your life. But if this sadness is persistent and now affecting your day-to-day life, you may be suffering from one of the many forms of depression.

Although mental illness is common and millions of people experience it, many people do not seek out the necessary treatment options. There are many reasons why people with depression do not reach out for help.

They may be unaware that the thoughts and feelings they are experiencing are caused by depression, because you may not have an open dialogue with another person, leading you to believe everyone feels that sense of hopelessness.

This feeling of hopelessness may also stop someone from accessing help as they may feel they do not deserve help. This is entirely untrue; at Nova Recovery we believe any and every person deserves help with depression and treatment, and we offer dual diagnosis treatment for people who suffer from depression and drug or alcohol addiction.

Treatment Options at Nova Recovery Scotland

Nova Recovery is registered with Health Improvement Scotland (NHS Registered Body) meaning we are led by a Psychiatrist, a Nurse Manager (RMN) a Specialist Nurse Practitioner (RMN, Therapist), Nursing staff (Mental Health Nurse Therapists) and Support Therapists, throughout all our treatment options.

All our high-quality treatment options have been specially designed by our expert staff to be the most beneficial for our clients to achieve long-term management or recovery.

We offer one on one therapy sessions where you will discuss your thoughts and feelings with a trained member of staff. During these sessions, you will also undergo a psychiatric assessment and if antidepressant medications are required, the correct type of antidepressant can be prescribed.

Nova Recovery is also a passionate advocate for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, also known as CBT. CBT is a third-wave mindfulness treatment that is widely recognised to help those suffering from a variety of psychological disorders or addictions. Our team has found it to work very well with other talking therapies.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) aims to help you deal with overwhelming problems in a more positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts. We have seen lots of evidence that CBT is beneficial in helping people recover from depression and addictions, especially when used alongside 12-step models of recovery.

We also have an extensive range of addiction treatments at our rehab in Scotland if you require help with any unhealthy coping mechanisms you may have developed through your struggles with depression. Dual diagnosis treatment can help you overcome both your depression and addiction, just phone today to learn more on 01475 303998.

What Are the Facilities Like at Nova Recovery Rehab in Scotland?

Nova Recovery is located on the beautiful west coast of Scotland, just a short walk from country walks and beaches overlooking the Isle of Arran.

We have found connecting with nature to be very beneficial for addiction and mental health recovery, so we recommend bringing outdoor clothing and sturdy shoes. There are also opportunities for group activities, visiting the local swimming pool for example.

All bed linen and towels are washed and dried by a laundry service and there is an on-site laundry for all personal washing. You will be asked about any disability needs before you arrive and will be allocated an appropriate room.

All food is locally sourced and freshly prepared. With all diets and religious dietary needs accounted for, again all these needs will be discussed and accounted for before you arrive.

There is also a smoking shelter at the rear of the building. And transport from airports and train stations can be provided.
