Whether you need a detox at a drug and alcohol rehab in Berkshire will depend on the substance(s) you are addicted to and the level of physical dependence your body has.
When we have been using addictive substances for an extended period, our minds and bodies not only continually want more but we can also begin to physically need the substance in order to function – this is called dependence.
As the body adapts to having a substance in the system it then begins to rebel if the substance is no longer present – this is when a person can experience withdrawal symptoms at a drug and alcohol rehab in Berkshire.
Different substances can cause different withdrawal symptoms and this will determine whether you require a detox at a drug and alcohol rehab in Berkshire.
A detox is a process by which a person is given medication at drug and alcohol rehab in Berkshire to help the body cope with withdrawal from the substance.
Different medication is used for different substances and the particular details can be discussed with us.
Withdrawal from alcohol dependence is the most dangerous and can be fatal due to the risk of seizures.
In an alcohol rehab in Berkshire, a medication called Librium is normally used over the course of 10 days to allow for safe withdrawal from alcohol.
Some people go to drug and alcohol rehab in Berkshire only for this 10-day detox period.
Others also stay for a further three weeks in order to take time to deal with other emotional and psychological factors involved in the addictive behaviour, as well as learn methods for relapse prevention.
Make sure your detox is done safely and effectively at a drug and alcohol rehab in Berkshire by calling us today on 0800 140 4690
An alternative to undergoing a detox in a rehab in Berkshire is to have the detox in your own home.
It is important that this is not confused with what is termed “self-detox” which refers to stopping using a substance without any medical help.
Home detox is permitted after assessment by a psychiatrist and only if the individual is drinking less than 30 units of alcohol a day.
If the assessor is happy that the detox is safe, then the medication (often Librium) is posted to the client each day and continued monitoring is carried out via a daily phone call.
This process of outpatient treatment is cheaper than going to a residential rehab in Berkshire or near Berkshire, but it is not as safe as trained supervision is not always at hand.
To find out if a home detox is the right choice for you, or if attending a drug and alcohol rehab in Berkshire would be more appropriate, talk to our team today on 0800 140 4690
When you attend a drug and alcohol rehab in Berkshire or near Berkshire, you will be helped to stop drinking or taking drugs for good.
Drug and alcohol rehab in Berkshire will not help you drink alcohol or use drugs to a lesser extent.
The benefit of abstinence is that it removes the risk of addictive patterns re-developing; and in someone who has already been addicted, the likelihood of this happening is very high.
Because of the nature of the disease, trying to recover from drug or alcohol addiction is full of serious challenges.
By the time many people decide they need to seek help, the brain of someone with a substance use disorder has been significantly impacted by the chemical surges involved.
This means that trying to establish new patterns of behaviour and decision making will be far from a matter of willpower; the brain’s ability to make the right choices will be seriously impaired.
Reaching the point of wanting to stop a drug or alcohol addiction at drug alcohol rehab clinics difficult enough when the brain believes the substance to be more important than anything else.
Maintaining this decision, as well as dealing with everything that comes with regaining sobriety, is an enormous challenge.
Rehabs in Berkshire and near Berkshire provide environments that are built entirely around assisting with the making of good, healthy decisions.
Whilst at a rehab clinic in Berkshire, you go into a safe situation where old triggers are no longer present, and where professional help is on hand to deal with anything and everything that might come up.

Cocaine is not actually physically addictive which means that the body will not undergo withdrawal symptoms: therefore no detox is required.
Addiction to cocaine is still very real however and is based on a person’s psychology.
Going to drug and alcohol rehab in Berkshire for cocaine addiction requires time concentrating on personal therapy, cocaine detox, as well as learning methods to identify and avoid triggers as well as how to prevent relapse.
Some people who are fighting cocaine addiction benefit particularly from having time away from work responsibilities; family difficulties; or people who are influencing their cocaine use.
Time in rehab provides the opportunity to have a period away from negative behaviours and influence and refocus on happier and healthier ways of living.

Heroin is one of the most addictive substances and it is easy to become physically dependent.
When you go to rehab in Berkshire for heroin addiction you will first be taken through a medical detox process using, for example, buprenorphine, to help with the physical symptoms (heroin withdrawal).
Coming off heroin has been likened to the feeling of having the bad flu; staff at the rehab in Berkshire will closely monitor you during the detox period to check how your body is reacting to the withdrawal process.
Heroin detox is not comfortable (no detox is) but it is very possible and quickly gets easier.
The other services that form part of the rehab process in Berkshire, e.g. individual and group therapy, and relapse prevention, will all be very necessary tools to help deal with other underlying issues as well as maintain long-term recovery from heroin addiction.
You will also receive treatment or further advice for any other effects of heroin, such as hepatitis.
Beat your addiction to heroin with the help of a drug and alcohol rehab in Berkshire – call our team today on 0800 140 4690
Going to rehab for cannabis addiction will not require detox as cannabis (marijuana) is not physically addictive.
However, cannabis is psychologically addictive and treating this will require the use of therapies and relapse prevention tools to help learn new behaviours and coping mechanisms.
One of the areas that are looked at in drug and alcohol rehab in Berkshire is how to cope with urges and also with the stress and anxiety that life can cause us.
Learning healthy coping mechanisms is an important way of safeguarding against falling back into cannabis use as well as how to avoid the triggers that might cause the threat of relapse.

Whether it be relationship challenges, stress caused by work responsibilities, or people close to you who encourage you to drink or use drugs, the staff in the rehab will help you look realistically and practically at what changes will need to be made to help you stay well.

Our rehabilitation centres in Berkshire typically admit patients of a ‘residential’ nature.
This means patients move into the centre for the length of their treatment. En-suite ‘sober living’ accommodation is provided.
Patients are typically not expected to share sleeping quarters with other patients, although this may vary depending upon the centre you select.
Once you enter the centre a short assessment takes place. Following assessment, a programme of detoxification begins in earnest.
During detoxification, all traces of drugs and/or alcohol are flushed from patients’ systems at the rehabilitation centre.
Withdrawal symptoms are monitored by the medical team. Symptoms vary in severity depending upon the addictive substance in question. Rapid detoxification is offered for certain substance addictions.
Once detoxification is complete, patients attend therapy sessions in order to treat the psychological aspects of addiction.
Therapy is conducted either in small groups with other patients or on a one-to-one basis with a counsellor or therapist.
