Rehabilitation is a general description of any kind of treatment that you might undergo to help you recover from an addiction to alcohol or drugs.
Rehabilitation does not just refer to a stay in a rehabilitation clinic – although this is also a possibility – instead, rehabilitation also refers to treatments like therapy, detoxes, self-help groups and tapering the use of alcohol or drugs.
Undergoing rehabilitation simply means you are trying to eliminate your need to consume drugs or alcohol regularly and eventually remain alcohol and drug-free for life.
Rehabilitation can be scary, difficult and sometimes stressful but the benefits to both yourself and your loved ones are immense.
If you think your use of substances or alcohol has been affecting you and those around you negatively, rehabilitation is a process that can help you gain your independence and confidence back.

It can be hard to watch someone live with addiction – not only can drugs and alcohol cause you to behave in ways that you wouldn’t usually, but excessive use also can be dangerous to yourself and to others around you.
Often those around you will try and help you by holding an intervention or intervening more casually.
It can be difficult to intervene with someone who is struggling with addiction – they may feel as though they are being attacked as their alcohol and drug use is the way they cope.
They may also feel like their access to alcohol or drugs is being threatened and become scared or defensive, as they may be physically dependent as well as psychologically dependent on the drugs or alcohol.
It is always best to implement the CRAFT approach when trying to help someone deal with an alcohol or drug addiction.
The CRAFT approach involves supporting rather than blaming someone with an addiction as well as helping them find and access treatment.
Even though you have the best interests of the person you are trying to intervene with at heart, sometimes interventions do not work and the cycle of substance use continues.
At such a point it may be worth contacting a professional interventionist who can better help you to help your loved one.

Yes, the NHS does offer services to support people who want to recover from drug or alcohol addiction.
Most often treatment will be done as an outpatient, meaning you will not stay in a treatment clinic or facility and instead will remain at home for the duration of your treatment.
Once you’ve spoken to your GP, you will be referred to an addiction counsellor or local drug or alcohol support services who will then determine what treatments you need.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to receive funding for treatment in a private residential facility, however therapy and support groups are often very helpful and can be less stressful than a stay in a residential facility.

Rehabilitation is an intensive process and its length will depend on a variety of factors, including the type of treatment you undergo, whether you require a detox and also whether you respond well to treatment.
The shortest possible duration for a stay in a rehabilitation clinic would be one week, and this is typically for those recovering from alcohol addiction.
More often, 28 days is the recommended minimum time frame for those wanting to recover.
This is because for the first week or so you may be undergoing detox treatment, whilst for the remaining time you will be experiencing intensive therapy and will be learning a range of techniques and coping skills, as well as learning about the facts of addiction.
The 28-day duration provides enough time for you to both gain and apply the knowledge that should help you in the long term to stay abstinent from alcohol or drugs.

Outpatient treatment involves you staying at home and receiving treatment as a patient that is not living in a residential facility.
Inpatient treatment is typical of rehabilitation clinics, where you will live away from home for a designated time frame.
Inpatient treatment in Finsbury Park most often refers to the rehabilitation process that is offered privately.
This process involves a period of detoxing in a residential rehab clinic followed by a programme of intensive therapy that aims to teach you more about your addiction, diagnose you with any underlying mental health conditions and help you to gain the skills to remain abstinent after you leave.
Outpatient treatment in Finsbury Park usually refers to treatment in the form of therapy, counselling, self-help help groups, home detoxing, holistic therapies and prescription medication.
All of these treatments can be undertaken while you remain living at home.

Alcohol rehabilitation can be broken down into two stages:
Because alcohol can become addictive to the body after prolonged or intensive use you will likely need to undergo a detox before starting therapy-based treatments.
Alcohol withdrawal can cause a number of unpleasant and sometimes dangerous symptoms.
This is why it is never advised that you stop drinking ‘cold turkey’ and instead that you undergo a fully medically supervised detox with the help of specialist medication.
This is often Librium a sedative which slows down the brain and the body’s processes, meaning that when alcohol consumption is stopped the body will not panic or overreact.
Detoxing is done in a safe environment where you are monitored and supervised to make sure that you are as comfortable as possible while you are withdrawing.
Detox under the supervision of a professional is the safest way to withdraw from alcohol.
Withdrawal symptoms typically include:
With the correct detox treatment, these side effects can be effectively minimised and detox will be a more comfortable experience.
Make sure that your detox is as a safe as possible with the help of a drug and alcohol rehab in Finsbury Park – call us today on 0800 140 4690
The second stage of rehabilitation, and perhaps the most important, is the component of therapy.
Therapy in residential alcohol addiction treatment clinics is the primary focus once detox is complete.
During therapy the root causes of the addiction can be evaluated, any underlying mental health conditions that you may be suffering from will be diagnosed, and you will be able to learn how to cope and manage the triggers for your alcohol use.
Therapy will make up the majority of your stay(around 3 weeks) and will help you gradually adapt your behaviour and mindset so that it is more compatible with a lifestyle that does not involve alcohol.

Cocaine is not a chemically addictive drug, so while you can become psychologically addicted or dependent on it, stopping the use of cocaine will not cause you to undergo the dangerous symptoms associated with other drug or alcohol withdrawals.
This means that the majority of your time in cocaine rehab will involve undergoing therapy, discussing the situational or emotional triggers for cocaine use and preparing you for life without drug use.
Therapy will be intensive and will involve discussing the reasons or circumstances that led you to use cocaine or crack cocaine.
It will also explore any underlying conditions like OCD, ADHD, schizophrenia, depression etc. that might have gone untreated that might be contributing to your substance use disorder.
Treatment for cocaine addiction ultimately aims to provide you with the tools you need to help you overcome your addiction in the long term and prevent a relapse.

Heroin is highly addictive both psychologically and chemically and stopping use suddenly can cause you to experience unpleasant or dangerous side effects.
This is why you can expect to receive treatment in the form of an initial period of detoxing followed by intensive therapy for the remainder of your stay.
Detox is usually done in the form of maintenance therapy, gradually lowering the concentration of opiates in your body using a heroin substitute.
These could be substances such as buprenorphine or methadone, which are both far less damaging or addictive than
All rehabilitation clinics will require you to stay abstinent from heroin for the duration of your stay.
Heroin withdrawal symptoms can include:
With the right treatment, the likelihood of experiencing these symptoms can be effectively reduced with medication.

Cannabis is a drug that is not chemically addictive, and as such will not necessitate a period of detox, but that can be psychologically addictive, particularly as a result of its ability to induce feelings of calmness or relaxation.
Cannabis rehabilitation will involve therapy as a primary component of treatment, but will also involve conversations about drug use triggers and the reasons why you might choose to take cannabis.
At many rehabilitation centres there is the opportunity to enjoy the grounds of the facility when not undergoing a therapy session.
This can help give you the opportunity to relax and separate from stressful circumstances that may be happening in your life and that might have led to your use of cannabis.
During therapy, you will also be assessed by a psychiatrist or therapist to determine whether you have any underlying mental health conditions that may have influenced your use of cannabis.
This is a process called ‘dual diagnosis’ and means that if you are diagnosed with a mental health condition, you can begin the process of receiving the correct treatment for it which may facilitate your recovery from cannabis addiction overall.

Some of the most well-known therapies available in the Finsbury Park area include CBT or Cognitive Behavioural therapy, which aims to help you change your thought patterns.
Equally, talking therapies undertaken with a therapist and you alone or with a member of your family are quite common, as well as group therapy where you attend as part of a group of people seeking to overcome addiction.
DBT or Dialectal Behavioural Therapy is related to CBT but is usually aimed at people who struggle with strong emotions or do not feel they are able to cope well with feelings of distress.
Holistic or Alternative Therapies are also available – they offer the opportunity to find something more personalised to you, like art therapy, mindfulness, equine therapy or many others.
Some people find that these therapies are beneficial as they align with their own interests and help them to relax and disconnect.
For those who struggle to accept their own motivations for overcoming addictions, they may benefit from Motivational Interviewing which is a therapy where you discuss with a therapist the benefits to yourself and others of recovering from addiction.
Brief interventions are a form of therapy that is often used throughout an individual’s recovery journey.
This style of therapy is focused on addressing specific issues, helping the patient to overcome a particular misunderstanding, reluctance or concern that may be preventing their recovery.
Co-dependency treatment helps individuals to break out of any unhealthy relationships that may have influenced their substance use.
Finally, Twelve-step Facilitation Therapy or TSF is a common therapy involving a process of twelve separate steps to be learned gradually over a period of around twelve weeks.
Each stage of the process helps individuals learn the skills they need to overcome and recover from addiction.

Dual diagnosis is an important component of addiction treatment because it helps to identify any underlying mental health conditions.
Common mental health conditions experienced alongside addiction include:
During your period of rehabilitation, you can be assessed for underlying mental health issues and diagnosed as appropriate.
A diagnosis for another mental health condition can mean that you are better able to receive treatment for these conditions, which may lessen your dependency on alcohol or drugs and improve your prospects for long-term abstinence.
Dual diagnosis is incredibly useful and can be a major factor in preventing your long-term use of substances or alcohol.
