Drug and Alcohol Rehab Edmonton
Every aspect of your recovery will be taken care of during the treatment programme. You will then go into the detoxing process where you will be assisted to rid the toxins from your body ready for the next stages. Once you have detoxed, you will go into different kinds of therapy that will help you work towards the prevention of relapsing. Some of the therapies will be in a one-to-one setting, while others will be in a group setting.
Some therapies may even include family and friends. You will work through many therapies before leaving. When your time is over at a drug rehab you will be assisted by an aftercare team who will work with you to support you with your life outside of rehab.
The amount of time an individual stays in rehab varies from case to case. This usually depends on the severity of the addiction. For instance, some people may only stay in rehab for a couple of weeks. However, if they have a more severe addiction some people may be in rehab for a few months. It completely depends on the individual.
Addiction Treatments and Addiction Therapies in Edmonton
There are a wide variety of treatments and therapies available to you in drug and alcohol rehab. Detoxing is the first treatment you will receive during your stay. You will then go onto behavioural therapies to get to the root of the problem. Therapies are the best way to prevent relapse in the future.
Therapies can be in group settings, on a one-to-one basis or even with your family. In group therapy, you may find that you can discuss and speak freely about your addiction and experiences and receive positive feedback. In group therapy, you will feel a sense of togetherness and empowerment. You may even make new friends with the people who understand you the most.
There are also, of course, one-to-one therapies. These include various talk therapies to really understand your addiction and how you came to where you are today. This will be your go-to for support and where you will learn the most important coping strategies.
Many addicts will go through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to determine to cause of their addiction and to figure out the best relapse prevention techniques.

What is a Medically Assisted Drug or Alcohol Detox?
Detoxing is one of the first stages of recovery. This is when you rid your body of all the drugs and alcohol, ready for the next step in your treatment programme. A medically assisted drug or alcohol detox is where the person suffering from addiction is assisted by a medical professional and sometimes given medication to help keep them comfortable and prevent any severe withdrawal symptoms. Detoxing alone or at home is not recommended as it can be very dangerous and, in extreme cases of very severe addiction, it can even be fatal.
It is important to be monitored closely by a medical professional to ensure you have the safest detox possible. Rehab is the best place to receive assistance with the detoxing process. Here, every aspect of your recovery will be taken care of.

What Do I Need to Do Before Going to Rehab?
Before entering rehab it’s a good idea to get things at home ready for when you come back. For instance, if you have a job, you will want to tell your boss about your situation. If they are a good employer they will understand and want you to get better. It is also a good idea to make sure your bills are being paid so you don’t come home to debts. Speak to family or friends and find someone to help you with that. If you have any children or pets, you need to find them care so you can relax when you get to rehab.
What Happens During Aftercare When I Leave Rehab?
When you leave rehab, you will not be alone to fend for yourself. Upon leaving you will be taken care of by an aftercare team. The aftercare team will ensure that you receive help with anything you may need and you will remain supported in your life after rehab. If you need assistance with finding accommodation, finding a job or finding local groups for a hobby you enjoy, the aftercare team are there to help you in every way possible.
You may find that you want help with finding a local support group or someone to attend with you – this is also something that the aftercare team can help you with. The aftercare team will help you if you feel you are struggling and ensure you don’t feel alone in your next chapter. Get Rehab help in London today.
Talking therapies aim to change your behaviour towards drugs and alcohol and help you build new coping strategies. Talking therapies you will find in rehab include counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and more. These therapies have been proven to be the most successful at preventing relapse in the future.
You can help a friend get help by giving them information on rehab and going with them to appointments or making phone calls on their behalf. The friend you help must want to get better in order for them to receive treatment.
Yes, you can visit someone in rehab. Sometimes if the person you want to visit is tired or having a bad day, the staff may decide to delay the visit. Often, family and friends are asked to go into rehab to attend therapies with the person suffering with addiction. Here you will work on rebuilding your relationship and reconnecting. This is part of the addiction recovery process.
