Drug and Alcohol Rehab Castleford

We are currently in a time where a lot more attention is being placed on mental health awareness. Within this, it’s worrying to learn that the British population is suffering from record numbers of both alcohol and drug related casualties. Overall, we are beginning to learn the dangers of mental health problems more and more, however, we are still behind when it comes to the dangers of drug and alcohol addictions.

Many people who are suffering from drug and alcohol addictions struggle with taking the first step towards recovery. This first step involves reaching out for help. If you are currently here reading this, then you should be proud of the fact that you are already in the process of taking that first step towards your full recovery.

Living in Denial

One of the biggest challenges that addicts face is denial. This denial is what can prevent the process of beginning your recovery. Taking the first step is everything if you want to make a full recovery form addiction.

Addictions to drugs or alcohol quite often go hand in hand with mental health problems. Even if that’s not the case, those suffering with drug or alcohol addictions often struggle with making logical decisions and life choices. Addictive substances can affect the chemicals in the brain and this is often the cause of why addicts struggle with making logical decisions. Although many addicts are aware of the harm that these addictive substances can cause, they just can’t say no and turn away.

When an addict lives in denial, they will often hide from the truth and instead turn to lies. One of the most common beliefs among addicts is that no matter how addicted they become to a substance, they believe that they ae still in control. However, this is simply not the case.

When an addict finally realises that their addiction is a problem, they will know that in order to recover, certain behaviours will have to change. Coming clean from addiction means that you need to detox from the substance that you’re addicted to. Detoxing can lead to some uncomfortable side effects.

Addicts who are in denial will not be aware of the effects and harm that they are causing to their friends and family. They will point the blame onto everyone but themselves. Addictions to drugs or alcohol is a serious mental illness which is often overlooked. That’s why it’s important that anyone who is living in denial needs to come forward and seek out the help they need in order to make a full recovery from their alcohol or drug addictions.

What to Expect from a Drug or Alcohol Rehab

As soon as you enter a drug or alcohol rehab centre, you will feel the benefit of being cared for and treated like a human being. The first point of contact when you enter the facility is crucial. You may feel a lot of self hate and have very low self esteem when you first attend the facility. Luckily, within a rehab centre there are trained staff who can specialise in helping you turn those feelings around.

Many addicts will feel nervous about the prospect of entering a rehab centre for treatment. However, there is no need to be anxious. You will be surrounded by people whose primary goal is to help you feel comfortable and at ease during the entire process of your recovery.

When you first arrive at the treatment centre, you will undergo a few tests. A doctor will need to examine your physical and mental health so that they can be sure that you’re ready to take on your particular recovery program. They will also discuss the stages of your recovery program with you so that you know exactly what to expect from the treatment.

During your recovery program, you will undergo a variety of different treatments including cognitive behavioural therapy, one to one therapy sessions, group therapy sessions, and many more things that are designed to help you personally on your unique road to recovery. Every addict is different, and so the treatment program that you receive will be designed specifically for your needs.
