If you’re on this page, we presume you’ve already done the work to identify symptoms of addiction and accept that you may need help to withdraw from drugs or alcohol.
We know how draining this can be, so we want to make the next stages as seamless as possible.
By accessing help via Rehab4Addiction, you will be able to sit back and relax while we arrange local support for you.
Once you have told us exactly what you want out of addiction treatment, we will get to work planning your recovery.
We are on this journey together so we will keep you updated with any changes and ensure you are always happy with the decisions we will make for your health.
Nothing can fully prepare you for addiction treatment as it will be one of the most challenging things you can do.
However, there are a few things you should consider before seeking treatment that will hopefully equip you with the mental energy you need to get sober:
It’s important that you look at the common signs and symptoms of addiction and decide whether you identify with them or not. If you are dealing with a drug or alcohol addiction, you will be suffering both physically and psychologically. What’s more, you will see the impact of addiction on your behaviour. However, if you are only experiencing physical symptoms, you may be suffering from a substance abuse problem. Both of these issues can be treated at a centre, but they require different approaches.
As there is so much stigma surrounding drug and alcohol addiction, it can be tricky to admit the extent of your struggles. However, it’s extremely important that you acknowledge how severe your addiction is before you start working to overcome it. If you remain in denial, you will be less inclined to approach the detox and therapy with an open mind.
There are many forms of addiction treatment, so reading one article or speaking to one person will not tell you everything you need to know. Try looking at a range of sources to get an accurate picture of what it’s like to recover in a healthcare setting. You can even ask us questions over the phone as our advisors are experts in Linwood-based addiction treatment.
It may seem counterproductive to take a step back and allow us to do all the hard work of finding a treatment centre. However, there is no one better than our team of experts to help you access treatment in Linwood. It goes without saying that you can be as involved in the process as you want to be. However, if you feel overwhelmed, you are welcome to withdraw for a while until we contact you with your referral.
No, drug and alcohol rehab (inpatient treatment) is not the only way to recover from a drug and alcohol addiction.
If you are in Linwood and you would like to explore other options, we urge you to contact us and explain your situation.
Aside from inpatient treatment, there are two main types of recovery services you can access in Linwood. The first is outpatient treatment.
This involves attending an outpatient clinic for detox and therapy and returning to your home at the end of each day.
The second is home detoxing – this type of recovery is purely physical and it involves withdrawing from drugs and alcohol in your home under the care of medical professionals.
There is a reason for the misconception that rehab is the only recovery option – it’s the most successful by far. Rehab is the ideal environment to let go of past trauma, be free from distractions, and learn how to get sober with the support of a wider community.
This can intimidate many people as they feel as though they will be under a great amount of pressure to stay sober. The truth is that rehab staff will strongly encourage you to get sober, but they are also aware that relapse is possible.
All they ask is that you enter rehab with the mindset that you are capable of recovery and that you are willing to pursue it.
Once you’ve done the mental preparation for addiction treatment, you’re ready to accept help.
It’s normal to feel as though you need to wait for a significant moment, but there is no perfect moment to contact us. Simply call us on 0800 140 4690 when you are ready to look at your options in Linwood.
Your first phone call with us is free of charge as we want our services to be accessible to everyone.
When you call up, we will ask you about your addiction journey and try to gauge what your current situation is like.
It’s important that you are honest with us during this discussion as it will make it easier for us to get you the right kind of help.
