Every person who gets caught up in addiction has a difference experience. While there are some common experiences, which are borne out in the group therapy process, no two people, in active addiction, are the same.

What are the most dangerous drugs to be addicted to?  

ALL substances pose their own risks and none are safe. Some pose more challenges than others when it comes to treatment and sustained abstinence. During the “detox” phase of treatment specialist medical input may be needed depending on the type of substance the client is dependent on. Clinically, clients dependent on GHB/GBL, benzodiazepines, alcohol and Ketamine are those who require the closet of monitoring. However, that is not to say that those dependent on other substances do not require close monitoring. Clients dependent on cocaine, for example, rarely require medical input but often require very intense psychosocial support.  

In short, while there is a hierarchy of those substances which require the most intensive medical monitoring when a person enters treatment and certain substances that do not, necessarily, require a “detox” every case is different. If you, a loved one, friend, spouse or employee need a rehab referral service UK call and get 24-hour addiction help to find me a rehab.  

Can I not just stop taking the addictive substance and get help at home?  

This may be possible, but such situations are limited and, in any event, without the appropriate psychosocial support and recovery relapse is almost inevitable. For some substances, this approach could be extremely dangerous and even life threatening.  

Are different dependencies treated in different ways?  

In short, when it comes to therapy? YES! Whatever led a client to enter treatment, the process is the same. As soon as a person, who goes into residential treatment, is physically able to attend therapy, their treatment begins. The medical monitoring and medication may be different amongst clients, depending on their dependency, but the medical element, while essential, is only one element of the process.
