Overcoming Addiction with Alcohol and Drug Rehab in Warwickshire

While alcohol is a major problem for many, it is not the only substance that is prone to abuse. Most people are aware that illegal drugs are highly addictive, but many do not realise that prescription medications can be equally addictive, especially if they are abused. There is a growing number of individuals who require drug rehab in Warwickshire and other parts of the UK because they have found themselves unable to quit a drug that was prescribed by their doctor.

If you need help for any type of substance abuse or addiction, please call us now. We can provide you with a free assessment that will help to determine whether you need rehab in Warwickshire or wherever else you live. We have already helped many individuals in your area to find a suitable treatment provider, and we want to help you too.

We will look at several factors before matching you with an appropriate rehab clinic. We will want to assess the severity of your illness so will ask questions about your history of substance abuse. We will need to know what substance or substances you are abusing or have abused in the past as well as the frequency with which you use these substances. We also need to know about your general health and whether you have any underlying medication conditions as this can affect the type of treatments you receive.

Detox and Drug Rehab in Warwickshire

For those who are willing to commit to a programme of recovery, the process will usually begin with a medical detox in a supervised facility. Detox helps with the physical aspect of addiction and should always be followed up with a programme of rehabilitation to increase the chance of a successful recovery.

In a supervised detox facility, you will quit the substance you have been addicted to. The body will then begin to heal itself and try to get back to some semblance of normality by expelling any leftover chemicals and toxins. As you might imagine, this can lead to a host of withdrawal symptoms, some of which you may have experienced in the past when you needed a drink or a fix.

Headaches, nausea, vomiting, mood swings, sweating and tremors are some of the milder symptoms that most people will experience. Some will go on to have hallucinations, delusions, and even convulsions, but this will depend on the severity of their addiction as well as other factors, including their age, overall health and the type of substance they were abusing.

When detox has been finished (most of the symptoms will have eased off after ten days), rehabilitation can begin. This will take place in an outpatient or inpatient facility, depending on your preference and your treatment requirements.

With an inpatient treatment programme, you will stay in the facility for up to eight weeks. An outpatient programme is less intensive and lasts for longer – some will run for several months while others can last for a year or more.

If you need any further information about detox or rehab in your area, we would be only too happy to help. Or if you are ready to take the next steps towards recovery, call us today.
