If you know someone in Edinburgh who is refusing to seek rehab help for themselves or is in denial over the existence of their drug or alcohol addiction, you may be considering how you can help them get the treatment program in Edinburgh that they need.
The answer to this is through an intervention.
An intervention is a process of friends or family members taking charge and letting the person know how their substance or alcohol abuse problem has impacted them and showing them a way forwards through alcohol rehab treatment.
It also allows them to hear what will happen if they choose to continue, and what could happen if they choose a better route.
Through a professional intervention service in Edinburgh, your loved one can begin to be guided towards formal alcohol rehab treatment and a successful addiction recovery, no matter what it takes.
An interventionist will work with you and your family to create boundaries, write letters to your loved ones and work on tactics that will coach them towards accessing the alcohol rehab care they need and deserve.
You can also opt for a CRAFT approach to help your loved one access alcohol rehab treatment.
Community Reinforcement And Family Training (CRAFT) [2] is an approach to intervention that helps families learn new methods of communication and support.
This is so that they can more effectively guide their loved one towards appropriate rehab treatment.
To learn how to successfully hold an intervention to convince a loved one to attend drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Edinburgh, call us today on 0800 140 4690

If you are attempting to recover from an addiction to alcohol, your first step whilst at alcohol rehab in Edinburgh will be a detox.
An alcohol detox programme in alcohol rehab, though it can be daunting, is a very important and hugely necessary step in your recovery journey.
A detoxification must take place before any other alcoholism treatment efforts at rehab – such as rehab therapy and addiction counselling – can begin.
This detoxification programme will be a form of medically-assisted detox, which means the medication is carefully employed at rehab to manage your alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
A medical detox treatment process is much safer than simply quitting alcohol cold turkey and is one of the most widely accessed alcohol detox options in Edinburgh.
Common signs of alcohol withdrawal syndrome include:
You will require around 10 days minimum at rehab in Edinburgh for a Chlordiazepoxide detox programme – a benzodiazepine better known as Librium – to work safely and effectively.
You will then require further time at drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Edinburgh for treatment of the psychological addiction that you will still be facing, breaking down the root cause of your alcohol use disorder through personalised therapy and counselling.
Call us on 0800 140 4690 to find out what your time at an alcohol rehab in Edinburgh could be like
There is does exist the option to wean yourself off alcohol in the safety and comfort of your own home instead of at alcohol rehab through an alcohol home detox.
This type of detoxification, though sometimes confused with a self-detox (a detox with no rehab or professional help), is a detox you can do at home with the guidance and support of medical professionals.
As long as you are deemed safe to perform a home detox by an addiction specialist, you will have the appropriate medication posted to you and you can begin your detoxification when you are ready.
You will be monitored daily via phone calls to ensure you are on the right track and do not require any further help or need to be admitted to rehab.
This type of detoxification works better for some than detox at rehab or dedicated detox clinics, not only because it is cheaper than an inpatient alcohol detox but because it also offers more freedom and control over addiction treatment, which many clients excel with.
To find out if a home alcohol detoxification would work for you, or if treatment at a drug and alcohol rehab in Edinburgh would be more suitable, call our expert team on 0800 140 4690
Cocaine remains one of the most used stimulants in the UK year after year, and the substance has caused an increasing number of deaths over the past decade.
Cocaine and crack cocaine can come in many different forms and can be injected, smoked, snorted or sniffed, which only makes it easier to consume and harder to treat at rehab.
Dealers of cocaine also often ‘cut’ the substance with others such as heroin or certain amphetamines, making it even more dangerous than it already is.
Common side effects of cocaine dependence can be irritating – such as sweating, loss of appetite, and insomnia – but some are more life-threatening and require professional cocaine rehab treatment.
Cocaine use can also lead to fatal seizures, respiratory failure and heart attacks amongst many other issues.
Due to these many dangers, cocaine rehab is often successful for a safe and sustainable recovery.
To kickstart your recovery from cocaine addiction at a drug and alcohol rehab in Edinburgh, call us on 0800 140 4690
Heroin is a highly addictive drug created from morphine.
It is illegal in the UK but remains one of the most consumed opioids in the country, and accounts for around 60-80% of all drug-related deaths each year and a huge portion of rehab treatment needs.
Heroin can have many unpleasant side effects – both in the short term and the long term, which can further complicate heroin rehab treatment in Edinburgh.
Some of these include headaches, a heavy feeling of the limbs, vomiting, a dry mouth, insomnia, muscle pain, and severe itching.
If you wish to withdraw from heroin or any other opioid use disorder, you will need to do so in the care of a suitable heroin rehab in Edinburgh or near Edinburgh.
This is so your heroin withdrawal symptoms can be managed safely and effectively through the careful application of medications like Buprenorphine or a Methadone detox at rehab, ensuring you do not cause any further harm to your body.
This will then be followed up with a comprehensive rehab programme of physical and talking therapies to give you the best chance of maintaining sobriety in the future.

Though oftentimes cannabis is seen as a harmless or non-addictive drug, the truth is quite the opposite.
Cannabis is a thoroughly addictive substance that can need rehab support to overcome.
Smoking cannabis (the most common way of consuming the substance) can cause drowsines, increased appetite, dizziness and paranoia.
It is known to also cause unwanted side effects such as a higher heart rate and a higher blood pressure, and even mental impairment.
If you believe you are suffering from cannabis use disorder, or think that it is impacting your relationships, personal life or work life, then you should begin seeking cannabis rehab today.
We can coach you through the process of withdrawing from cannabis and beginning a new substance-free life with the help of cannabis rehab treatment.

A dual diagnosis is the existence of both a drug or alcohol addiction and a co-occurring mental health disorder.
Those with a dual diagnosis require much more detailed and well-rounded rehab treatment that addresses both issues in equal measures, as one issue can impact or worsen the other.
Those with these or other mental health disorders are twice as likely to experience addiction at least once in their lives when compared to the general population.
If you have a mental health disorder – or are experiencing multiple mental health issues – alongside your substance abuse or alcohol abuse problem, it is important that we know this when you enquire about rehab treatment.
This information will allow us to better understand your particular rehab needs, design a clinically-led rehab recovery model underpinned by a personally tailored approach to treatment, and place you in a suitable drug and alcohol rehab clinic in Edinburgh or near Edinburgh with the support of registered mental health nurses.
This will give you the best chance to fight both issues – engaging with both proper alcohol and drug addiction rehab treatment and mental health treatment – so that you can reach a full and successful recovery.
You can also find general mental health treatment and support outside of a alcohol rehab structure at Rethink Mental Illness, Papyrus, Young Minds, Samaritans and Mind UK.
Whilst at rehab you will also need to consider any physical ailments that have occurred alongside or as a result of addiction, such as alcoholic liver failure, alcoholic hepatitis, alcohol-related brain damage, heart issues or even various cancers.
For more information about how a drug and alcohol rehab in Edinburgh will support your mental health, call our team on 0800 140 4690

However, there are some commonly used addiction therapies that you are likely to encounter during your rehabilitation journey.

Every part of your rehabilitation journey in Edinburgh is important, and your exit from alcohol rehab is no different.
To ensure that you stay on track with your recovery and progress even after you leave the care of your chosen drug and alcohol rehab in Edinburgh, you will take part in relapse prevention planning.
This planning makes sure you do not experience a relapse outside of rehabilitation in Edinburgh but also teaches you what to do in case you do experience one.
This way, you are fully prepared for life back home and will have all the necessary knowledge and information you need to deal with a relapse situation after rehab, as well as to avoid the triggers and environments that could lead you to relapse in the first place.
To create the most effective and beneficial plan, you will work with your rehab team to consider the various temptations you have faced in the past.
You shall also look back on your history with substances and relapses, your home recovery environment and your progress at alcohol and drug rehab Edinburgh thus far.
This information will allow them to put together two plans for you – one that will work to prevent a relapse after rehab and one that will act as your action plan in case you do relapse with drugs or alcohol.
It is important to remember that a relapse does not signify the end of a recovery journey, but rather a simple bump in the road.
Progress and recovery from addiction is not a straight line and setbacks will most likely occur after you leave drug and alcohol rehab in Edinburgh – you just have to make sure you continue through these setbacks and remain focused on your goal of long-term recovery and a substance-free life in Edinburgh.

Each drug and alcohol rehab centre in Edinburgh we refer you to is bound by a strict duty of care.
This means your well-being is given the highest importance, both during your time at rehab and when you immediately leave.
Before you leave the drug and alcohol rehab centre in Edinburgh, you will receive a final assessment.
This assessment determines your mental and physical stability following initial rehab treatment.
If you are not fit to leave your drug and alcohol rehab centre at this point, then you will be recommended to remain within the centre until you are fit to leave, although you will never be forced to stay.
We typically recommend your drug and alcohol rehab treatment last for at least fourteen days at rehab in Edinburgh, although in certain cases a 28-day stay may be better or possibly even longer under a long-term rehab programme.
This ensures you are fully capable of returning to your home following the completion of drug and alcohol rehab treatment in Edinburgh.
A short-term rehab programme designed for five to ten days may mean you are not fully ready to return to your home following the completion of your stay at a drug and alcohol rehab treatment centre.
