What are the benefits of residential treatment when considering addiction treatment Norfolk?
Detox on it's on will not prevent a relapse. If you don't understand why you were using in the first place, you will go back to the one thing you know stiffles the emotional pain you experience: drugs and alcohol.
Therapy lifts the lid on those difficult thoughts, emotions and memories you have been suppressing with drugs and alcohol. These are the reasons you drink and take drugs.
It can help you deal with your underlying anxiety, low mood and address other unresolved issues. You don't need to believe in God or follow any religion to go into group therapy.
Every centre, the world over, uses a group therapy model, whether it is a 12 step one or not.
If you think you are not the kind of person who can open up in a group or that group therapy won't work for you then you are precisely the kind of person who will benefit from it.
Nearly every centre provides a weekly session of individual therapy in addition to group therapy.
Relapse prevention gives you the emotional resillience to be able to work through stressful situations you will face when yo go home.
People relapse: Fact. If you accept that addiction is a chronic illness just like diabetes and asthma you will appreciate that relapse is part of the disease process.
Relapse is an opportunity to test your skills.
Aftercare means regular telephone check in with your rehab centre team, a weekly support group (in person or online) and a dedicated number to call if you need urgent support.
Can I have a home detox when considering addiction treatment Norfolk?
Possibly.
Home detox is available for a limited range of conditions, mainly uncomplicated/low threshold alcohol dependency, intermittent cocaine use and mild cannabis dependency.
There are very strict national clinicial guidelines on home treatment and there is seldom any wriggle room.
Certain health conditions, prescribed medication and history of previous treatment may automatically exclude someone from home treatment.
Never use a home detox company that sends medication in the post. Most are trading illegally.
A home detox is just that and without the other elements that rehab provides:therapy, relapse prevention and aftercare, a relapse is very likely.
Often it is more cost effective to have a short residential treatment admission.
If home treatment is suitable for you and something you want to arrange, we can assist you.
Why do people need a detox when researching addiction treatment Norfolk?
When you use alcohol and drugs on a regular basis your brain becomes used to it. It will change the way it works to accomodate it.
After a time you reach a stage known as physiological tolerance. This means you need more and more to have the same effect as the amount you started with.
If you stop using suddenly, or reduce too quickly, your brain can not cope. While it scrabbles to readjust it will fire off incorrrect chemical messaging. It is this that causes symptoms known as withdrawal.
Without the correct medical intervention you can experience a very acute medical emergency or fatality.
Never try and treat this yourself at home.
