Rehab 4 Addiction

Are you ready to stop using alcohol or drugs? Have you reached the point where too much of your life has fallen apart? Do you want your health back and want to rebuild relationships?

Wherever you are in the journey of substance use, getting professional help is beneficial.

In the UK, 130,490 adults entered treatment for substance use in 2020/21.

That’s a huge amount of people negatively affected and obviously isn’t the full picture, as many more won’t be in treatment yet.

The best way to address drug and alcohol addiction is through medical treatment and additional therapies.

You can access everything you need at drug and alcohol rehab in Nicosia, which also has the healing benefits of beautiful scenery and space away from your usual triggering haunts.

Alcohol and drug addictions are complex diseases, something that you’re no doubt aware of.

Not only do substances affect how you behave, but they alter how you think and feel, and also change how you interact with others and function in day-to-day life.

You can access the support you need to help you heal.

This is imperative if you are to recover. Addiction isn’t cured without changes and is very hard to overcome without accessing professional help.

In Nicosia, you can enter rehab and receive the highest level of traditional and alternative treatments available in the most beautiful of locations.

Drug and alcohol rehab in Nicosia

Therapy room

There are plenty of drug and alcohol rehab options in Nicosia and across Cyprus.

Over the last ten years, provision has been growing and the reputation for top-quality standards in rehabilitation care has increased.

You can get clinical treatment for the physical aspects of addiction and health as well as psychological treatments.

There are both inpatient and outpatient services available on the island as well.

This means you can be treated as a person who stays at the clinic for a length of time or can stay elsewhere and can go to the clinic as and when you have appointments.

Inpatient care is more intensive and suited to people with moderate to severe addictions.

If you’re coming into Cyprus through an airport, it’s possible to arrange for a member of staff to meet you there so that you go straight to the rehab to be signed in.

What happens at a drug and alcohol rehab in Nicosia?

Group therapy - teens - black and white

On entering rehab, you’ll meet with a member of the admissions team.

They’ll show you around the complex, to your room, and introduce you to staff and other residents.

After this, you’ll meet a doctor who will hold a psychiatric assessment.

The point of this is to see where your mental health is at.

It will include questions about your drug or alcohol consumption, your emotional health, as well as your thoughts and feelings about change and recovery.

From this information and a physical assessment, a recovery plan will be.

It will be tailored especially to suit your specific needs.

1. A day at rehab in Nicosia

During your stay, you’ll likely wake up early, probably around eight-thirty.

Throughout the day you’ll have a series of individual therapies, group therapies or sessions, and holistic therapies. Some are more psychological in approach, some are educational, and others are more relaxed and artistic.

There are regular breaks so that you get relaxed and can enjoy social time. Food and snacks are provided.

Everything you eat and drink is prepared by the in-house chef who works within guidelines to ensure that all your essential vitamins and nutrients are included. This helps you to recover physically. 

At the end of each day you get some downtime to enjoy yourself with other residents in the outstanding surroundings using the recreational facilities.

2. Addiction treatments at drug and alcohol rehab in Nicosia

At a private rehab in Nicosia, you get the benefits of a wide range of treatments including therapies, counselling services, physical support and medication, as well as holistic therapies.

It’s common for people to need professional input for mental health conditions as well.

Anxiety and depression are especially common alongside addiction.

For people who have issues with mental health, their treatment plan will include sessions focused on this too.

Health and wellness massage for sports and fitness

3. Detox treatment

The first part of your rehab stay will include a drug and alcohol detox. This is imperative for many people in treatment.

It’s the point where toxins are removed from the body.

This is through stopping substance use and taking in food and non-alcohol beverages that support detox, cleansing, and healing. Supplements that help to recover damage to organs are also offered.

Some people need a physical detox where medication is prescribed in order to manage physical withdrawal symptoms.

This is what happens when dependence develops, which is common for people who use alcohol, benzodiazepines, and heroin.

A medically-assisted detox lasts around ten to fourteen days. In these cases, Librium is typically prescribedfor alcohol whilst Subutex is often prescribed for heroin.

The medication dose reduces across the detox period until the person is totally substance-free. This approach under the care of a doctor offers the safest way to come off drugs and alcohol.

4. Psychological and alternative therapies at rehab

At drug and alcohol rehab in Nicosia, you’ll participate in various treatments.

All of these have the aim of supporting you to learn the skills and do the emotional work required to stop the consumption of alcohol and drugs for the rest of your life.

Your treatment programme will likely include many of the following:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is known as an evidence-based therapy meaning it’s proven to successfully treat people with addictions. The basis it works from is that if you change your thoughts, you can change your behaviours. Much of addictive habits are automatic, in these sessions, you’ll learn how to intervene your automatic thoughts in order to create healthier behaviours.
  • Dialectical Behavioural Therapy is provided for people who struggle with emotional regulation. A therapist will introduce you to the skills needed to be able to do this and take control of yourself in a positive way.
  • Motivational Interviewing is where you’ll discuss your reservations about recovery and change. This is the therapy where you’ll start to understand your true motivations for creating a new life without substances.
  • Holistic Therapies are also provided. This supports you to connect to the mind and body in new ways as well as learn how to express yourself in new formats. You’re likely to try yoga, art therapy, equine-facilitated therapy, tai chi, acupuncture, mindfulness, music therapy and many more.

5. SMART Recovery

You might have heard of the SMART recovery programme. It’s very commonly featured in recovery environments because of its effectiveness. 

SMART is a global organisation that offers training to recovery professionals who then go on to facilitate SMART groups. At rehab in Nicosia, you’ll take part in some SMART sessions if you’re an inpatient.

Group

6. The 4-Point Programme

This is a group programme run by a trained facilitator at the clinic. It will make up a part of your treatment plan and you’ll likely have around 2 sessions a week. The focus of the sessions is on how to alter behaviours (rather than concentrating on the substance).

It’s a practical approach that offers tools to help you manage your cravings, thoughts, and actions. It is proven to work and supports thousands of people to manage sobriety successfully.

The 4 main parts of the programme are:

  1. How to build and maintain motivation
  2. How to cope with and manage urges and cravings
  3. Managing thoughts, feelings and behaviour effectively
  4. How to lead a balanced life

Group therapy - hands in air

7. 12-Step groups

As you might expect, there are Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and Cocaine Anonymous groups around the island. These are fellowships that operate on a worldwide basis meaning that wherever you go, you can find like-minded people.

This is one of the biggest strengths of the 12 Step approach.

What’s useful to know, though, is that many rehab clinics in and near to Nicosia also offer 12 Step groups as part of treatment. Doing so provides you with the benefits of social connection as a structure that supports recovery. 

It’s also a space where you’ll clearly take hold of the fact that you have an addiction and what that means in relation to how you view yourself and what you need to do going forward to find a space of atonement.

What aftercare will I get?

Female therapist with male

Receiving treatment at the private drug and alcohol rehab in Nicosia means that you’ll automatically become eligible for aftercare support.

For previous residents, there is usually a 12-month aftercare service. This helps you to stay focused on recovery and stay sober.

During your time at rehab, you’ll discuss with staff those things that trigger your substance use.

This information will help to provide a basis for your relapse prevention plan.

You’ll have clear guidance on how to manage cravings, how to practise healthy coping mechanisms at home, and how to build a meaningful sober life. 

As well as this, you’ll also have a set of steps to follow if you should relapse so that you can return to abstinence as quickly as possible.

Keep in mind, though, that relapse is much less likely following inpatient care and guidance.

How long will I stay at a rehab centre in Nicosia?

head to head

The majority of residents will stay at rehab for 28 days.

This is the length of time needed to overcome early withdrawal and to begin building healthy new habits to replace the addictive ones.

For people with mental health disorders or suffering from more severe addiction, a longer stay might be needed.

It’s not uncommon for people to stay at rehab for 3-4 months.

To find out precisely how long your stay at a drug and alcohol rehab in Nicosia is likely to take, call us on +44 345 222 3508

What’s the weather like in Nicosia?

The hottest months filled with sunshine and brilliant blue skies are between June and September.

The coolest month of the year is January where temperatures tend to be between 9-17 degrees.

At this time of the year you’ll want to pack jumpers, though it still obviously isn’t as cold as it is at home in the UK!

Getting to Nicosia and travelling around Cyprus

Walking outside

The easiest way to Nicosia is to catch a flight. There are many cheap options available from various airports in the UK. 

If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed at the thought of all the practicalities, a chat with the Rehab 4 Addiction team can help.

Our advisors support people to get to rehab clinics all the time and can help you to arrange this.

In Cyprus, it takes between 1.5 to 3 hours to drive to the other side of the island depending on where you are at any one time and how fast you drive.

This gives you some idea of how big it is. The majority of people use taxi and bus services to get around, though you can, of course, hire a car. 

It must be remembered, of course, that during your time as an inpatient at rehab you will stay within the grounds unless supervised with a member of staff on an activity elsewhere.
