Defeating addiction isn’t easy. In fact, most people won’t win their battle against addiction.
Those who do manage to enter recovery are often forced to live with the long-term health consequences of their former addiction, and this includes both physical and mental health consequences.
It’s also likely that those who manage a period of abstinence often see their hard work rolled back by relapse. At Rehab 4 Addiction, we know the pain that’s caused by relapse.
For this reason, we only advocate drug and alcohol rehab in Hastings that includes an intensive aftercare element.
To ensure you are not included in this vast group of people who do not seek out addiction treatment in Hastings, contact Rehab 4 Addiction to discover which particular rehabs in Hastings are ideally suited to your needs.

Getting the right sort of help to overcome your addiction is key, and this is where Rehab 4 Addiction may help.
Whilst there exists no ‘cure’ for addiction, you can arrest both drug and alcohol addiction with the correct treatment. This treatment involves spending around 28-days in a drug and alcohol rehab clinic in Lincoln.
During these 28-days, you will be clinically detoxed, and following this, you will benefit from a variety of therapy sessions that aim to determine the root causes of your addiction.
When you suffer from addiction, your issues go much deeper than an uncontrollable urge to drink alcohol or use drugs. Co-occurring issues often include anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Specialist drug and alcohol rehabs exist in Hastings to help you treat these issues. Without treating these underlying issues, it’s highly likely your drug and alcohol use will continue once you have left treatment.
Drug and alcohol rehabs offer a range of therapies to tackle the emotional causes of addiction. The specific therapies you will tackle will be determined during the admission stages of rehab. These therapies include traditional talking therapies and a number of complementary and holistic therapies.
The fact that Hastings is home to some of the UK’s finest drug and alcohol rehab clinics is excellent news for people suffering from addiction in the local area.

Detoxification refers to the process of a substance leaving your system, and the subsequent adjustment of your body to dealing without it.
Detoxing is usually the first step of drug and alcohol rehab in Hastings as it addresses the physical impact of addiction.
Detox is only required when you are seeking treatment for a drug that is physically addictive.
Some drugs are solely psychologically addictive, meaning you do not need to detox from them as your body will not need to adjust to their absence.
Drugs such as cocaine and cannabis do not require a detox phase.
Two of the most common physically addictive drugs are alcohol and heroin.
During a detox, you are likely to experience some unpleasant side effects. These are known as withdrawal symptoms.
These symptoms are managed by safe, controlled and legal medications that are clinically effective in reducing dangerous withdrawal symptoms.
Using medications during detox is known as a medically assisted detox or a pharmacological intervention. [5]

Making the decision between residential and community treatment is key to deciding what type of drug and alcohol service is right for you.
Residential or inpatient treatment is when you temporarily move into a treatment centre whilst you access your care.
During this time, you will have a schedule of therapy sessions, recreational and leisure activities and appointments with various professionals.
The Benefits of Residential Addiction Treatment:
Outpatient or community treatment is when you stay in your usual living environment and access your care through a series of appointments.
During this time, you will have prearranged meetings and therapy sessions. You may need to attend an inpatient rehab facility to access these meetings, but you will not be required to stay overnight.
Drug and alcohol rehab in Hastings is able to offer both forms of treatment.
The Benefits of Outpatient Addiction Treatment:
Making the decision between NHS and Private treatment is key to deciding what type of drug and alcohol rehab in Hastings is right for you.

Rehab 4 Addiction understands that addiction does not discriminate.
Regardless of your age, gender, sexuality, and race, it is possible to develop an addiction.
However, there are some groups of people who are more likely to develop an addiction.
A report published by East Sussex Council found that 59% of adults admitted to hospital for alcohol-related reasons between 2014 and 2019 had a diagnosis of a mental health condition. [10]
When you have a diagnosis or one or more mental health conditions, this is known as a dual diagnosis.
Dual diagnosis is quite a common experience in those struggling with addiction.
Frequent dual diagnoses include:
If you have a dual diagnosis of a mental health condition of any kind, your treatment at drug and alcohol rehab in Hastings can be personalised to reflect this.

The simple answer is that overcoming drug and alcohol addiction is never easy. In fact, due to withdrawal symptoms, detoxing yourself without proper medical assistance in place is reckless.
Thousands of people suffer fatal or near-fatal withdrawal symptoms because they are pressured into detoxing by loved ones. However, their loved ones are rarely aware that their pressure tactics could unwittingly harm rather than heal.
Undergoing a detox from a drug and alcohol rehab clinic in Hastings eliminates the risk of withdrawal symptoms because you will be given medication that’s engineered to reduce withdrawal symptoms. You will also be surrounded by medical professionals throughout your treatment programme.
Once you are admitted to a drug and alcohol rehab, you will not return home for around four weeks. Some rehabs offer a shorter programme, but the standard programme length is around four weeks.
Because you will not return home, you will be shielded from distractions and temptations that could otherwise cause you to return to drug and alcohol abuse.
The benefits of a supportive and stable environment in which to undergo drug and alcohol treatment must never be underestimated.

All rehab clinics we recommend allow you to return to their clinic for weekly aftercare sessions.
Merely because you have completed a four-week rehab programme does not mean you are 100% ready for life in recovery.
You will still require care and encouragement. Aftercare sessions are designed to offer this level of care and encouragement so that your recovery is sustained up to a period where relapse is less likely to occur.
