Rehab 4 Addiction

At Rehab 4 Addiction, we have partnered with a range of rehab clinics in close proximity to St Helen’s.

The clinic in this area is an acute drug and alcohol rehab facility.

The rehab clinic has an excellent reputation for its range of services and standards of psychiatric and psychological care in the areas of addictions, general psychiatry and eating disorders.

The goal of treatment on our addictions treatment programme is to facilitate long-term recovery through abstinence, restoring psychological and physical wellbeing as quickly as possible, thus helping patients to regain control of their lives.

All patients are admitted under the care of a consultant psychiatrist and have a named primary nurse who co-ordinates their programme.

What Causes People to Turn to Drugs?

Professor Alison Goate has researched how our genetics make us more or likely to develop an addiction.

This research found that people who have a protein coding gene known as CHRM2 – (muscarinic cholinergic receptor 2) were more likely to use drugs and alcohol.

Eric J. Nestler has also studied these physical factors, focusing on chromatin regulation.

His study discovered that molecules which cause dysregulation within the brain may make us more likely to develop a chronic psychiatric illnesses or addiction.
