It’s not easy to know how severe your alcohol or drug addiction is, or even if what you are experiencing is, in fact, an addiction.
To help clients determine the seriousness of their alcohol use, and AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) can be taken.
AUDIT helps professionals realise the severity of alcohol disorders and therefore what the next steps in an individual’s addiction recovery journey should be.
If you score high on the test (over 20), then you are likely to be referred to a specialist, or to drug and alcohol rehab Nottingham.
If your score is in the lower range (0-7), then you are deemed low risk for alcohol disorders and will not need such quick action or treatment.
The score you receive is determined by the answers you give to the 10 questions on the test.
The questions range from queries about your alcohol intake to others about the consequences you may have experienced because of your substance use.
You will answer each question on a scale of 0-4, and these numbers will be added up at the end to give you your final score.
Some questions you should expect to be asked during an AUDIT include:

Once you have experienced an AUDIT or a similar substance use identification test, we will need to identify how best we can help you and your specific circumstances before we can decide on treatment.
To do this, we test clients using the six dimensions of the ASAM criteria. (ASAM: American Society of Addiction Medicine)
This allows us to see what your personal needs for treatment and care are through a series of tests that look at different factors of your substance use.
Considering a wide array of aspects surrounding your alcohol or drug addiction, your home environment, your addiction history as a whole, your previous addiction recovery attempts and more, helps us to create a detailed picture of you.
We do this so that we can provide you with a bespoke treatment plan that is just as detailed.
These six dimensions are:
You can also use the DSM-5 Guidelines and the CAGE Questionnaire for further help in deciding whether you have an addiction.
All these tests and more will be used at rehab to help addiction specialists and qualified recovery nurses build a personalised treatment plan suited to your unique needs.

If you are here not for yourself but for a loved one who is refusing help, you are not alone.
Rehab 4 Addiction has excellent professional intervention services for you to take advantage of, which can help guide your friend or family member to the safety of an alcohol and drug rehab clinic in Nottingham.
Though an intervention can sometimes sound scary or too invasive of your loved one’s life, it is a helpful and oftentimes necessary step if a person you love is denying the treatment that they need.
Intervention doesn’t have to be overbearing, and, with the help of our professional interventionists, it can instead be a gratifying experience for you, your loved one, and the rest of your family.
One of our interventionists will help you and your family to better understand your addiction-afflicted loved one, which will, in turn, improve your ability to support them during this vulnerable time.
The interventionist will guide you through the process of setting boundaries, writing letters that will be read to your loved one during the intervention and will set out what will have to happen in each possible scenario.
After the intervention has taken place, your loved one will have a choice to make.
You will be trained for each eventuality. If your loved one accepts the help you are offering, the interventionist will work quickly to escort them to the chosen drug and alcohol rehab in Nottingham.
They shall then begin their treatment; if they instead refuse the help once more, the interventionist will continue working with you and your family until a positive ending is sought.

The prices for rehab programmes differ significantly depending on many factors of your addiction, the time needed in rehab, and the room you wish to have whilst in the rehab facility.
The average prices for the most common plans are:
A 10-day detox
A 28-day rehab programme
An at-home detox
These numbers are just averages at the time of writing. For an up-to-date, personalised estimation of your adurg and alcohol rehabilitation centre cost, call us on 0800 140 4690
The length of time you need to spend in a rehab clinic – much like the cost of rehab – is determined by many different aspects of your situation.
If you are experiencing a more severe addiction or you have experienced complications and side effects during an addiction recovery attempt, you will inevitably need more time in rehab than those dealing with less serious substance use disorders.
The average time needed to complete inpatient addiction treatment programmes (residential treatment) is around 28 days, but there is usually a minimum of 7 days needed to undergo a drug or alcohol detoxification.
The time after your detox is dedicated to treatment for the psychological aspects of your addiction – such as therapy and counselling that can help you stay on track after you leave your rehab clinic – so it is just as important as the first 7 days.
Don’t be anxious if you end up requiring more time in your chosen rehabilitation facility.
This will most likely be due to factors of your condition that are now out of your control, and focusing on the ‘end’ of your journey rather than the journey itself can actually hinder your progress.

As you search for suitable addiction treatment, you will undoubtedly be faced with an overwhelming number of options and the benefits and drawbacks that come with each one.
To find the most appropriate treatment option for you, it is crucial to weigh these advantages and disadvantages against each other to ensure you are covering all factors.
The first choice you are likely to encounter on your search for care is the choice between private rehabilitation or council-funded treatment.
Council-funded rehab treatment can be a great choice for many; it offers treatment free of charge and 100% confidentiality, it is accessible to everyone and is usually close to home.
It can also be perfect for people who are dealing with less severe addictions who just need some support and guidance in order to reach a substance-free life.

You can also find help from organisations such as Al-Anon, Alateen, and We Are With You.
Additionally, you can reach out to the National Association for Children of Alcoholics, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, and a local Nottinghamshire healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
With council-funded treatment, the main benefit is that it is free of charge.
However, there are also many drawbacks to this option.
Opting for free treatment can mean less stress on your finances, but more stress later down the line during your treatment.
You may have to see many different therapists and visit different clinics throughout your recovery journey, the admissions process and waiting lists are usually much longer.
You might not receive the important referrals to rehab you need in order to fully recover. With a private rehab clinic, however, the benefits are seemingly endless.
There is a much quicker admissions process and much shorter queues for treatment, you are likely to stay with the same therapist and at the same facility for the duration of your recovery.
You will be looked after by highly-trained medical professionals, you will detox safely from the substance you use, and you will receive life-saving referrals to a specialist rehab centre if you need it.
The one huge drawback to private rehab that stops many from choosing it is simply the cost.
Though private addiction treatment clinics can be pricey when compared to council-funded routes, this greater drug and alcohol rehab centre cost is highly necessary in order to ensure you receive the best possible care and attention for your addiction.
It ensures you undergo safe procedures, are cared for by the right people with the right knowledge, and it makes sure you have the highest chances of reaching a successful recovery.

The first step in any journey to recovery from physical addiction is a detox, and this is no different for those suffering from an alcohol use disorder.
Alcohol is one of the most dangerous substances to withdraw from, and doing so can lead to many unpleasant and life-threatening side effects.
Alcohol detox should never be done alone or without the proper medical assistance.
Because alcohol is a depressant, over time your continued use of alcoholic drink can impact your central nervous system and slow down brain functions.
Your body slowly adjusts to the substance being present all of the time and becomes accustomed to it.
This means that quitting ‘cold turkey’ sends the body into a state of alert or shock – this is highly dangerous and should never be done.
At an alcohol and drug rehab in Nottingham, you can safely and slowly experience a Librium-based detox at a pace your body is comfortable with.
This process usually takes around 10 days.
You will be under the constant care of the highly-trained team at your chosen rehabilitation centre, and they will be ready and able to manage any withdrawal symptoms you experience.
After this detox phase, you will be prepared to embark on the rest of your recovery journey, and a further 3 weeks in your chosen rehab facility can be arranged for you to work on the emotional aspects of your addiction with the help of therapy.
When you first get to a rehab clinic or other sober living houses, you will undergo a psychiatric assessment in order to be diagnosed and receive appropriate treatment.
This will be done by a psychiatrist, qualified recovery nurses other medical professionals. This will help you on your path to sobriety.
You may also need to have a medically-assisted detox – especially for those going through alcohol or heroin withdrawal, or for those who have a physical dependence on a substance – such as alcohol dependency – as the symptoms can be very dangerous.
Long-term consequences of substance abuse and alcohol abuse can include hepatitis, wernicke encephalopathy, alcohol withdrawal syndrome and more.
After your primary addiction treatment programme is complete, you will plan out an aftercare treatment programme which will help prevent relapse after you leave rehab.

Though it can be tempting, an alcohol detox should never be performed at home without the proper medical guidance or intervention.
Performing a self-detox (different from home detox) is highly dangerous, and, if done incorrectly or too quickly, it can even cause death.
Alcohol detoxification is an incredibly difficult procedure to endure, especially if you are on your own.
It is not an ‘easy fix’ for your addiction, and in some cases it can even worsen your situation, pushing you deeper into alcohol use.
We implore you to not attempt a self-detox if you are experiencing severe alcohol addiction.
We can discuss your options for either a residential detox as part of a wider inpatient rehab plan, or the possibility of a home detox, and can get you on the path to an alcohol-free life in no time.

Heroin, just like most other drugs, causes reactions in the brain and the body that can cause an individual to become addicted to the substance.
A heroin addiction could happen to anyone, and there is no need to be ashamed or embarrassed if you are experiencing one – or if you require help to withdraw.
Continued heroin use can be extremely dangerous, and can lead to permanent physical and psychological changes.
Some studies have shown heavy heroin use can even impact and weaken the part of the brain that is responsible for making decisions, regulating behaviour, and responding to tense situations.
In order to safely detox from this substance, you will be required to undergo a heroin detox at your chosen alcohol and drug rehab centre in Nottingham.
This will not be an easy fix for your condition as a detox from heroin can be physically and psychologically demanding, but with our guidance and help, you will be able to succeed.

Cocaine addiction can develop fairly quickly, sometimes after only a few times of using the substance.
Often referred to as simply ‘coke’, cocaine can cause some extremely harmful short term and long term side effects.
In severe cases, it can even be fatal to use as continued use can lead to heart failure, seizures, strokes, failures in the respiratory system, and gastrointestinal issues.
A professional drug and alcohol rehab clinic will have all the necessary expertise, staff and medications to minimise these issues and keep you safe during recovery.

Cannabis – often referred to as weed, dope, or marijuana – is the most used drug in the country, with the substance being especially popular among younger generations.
Though the lure of cannabis is strong – and the ‘high’ from the drug is seen as harmless – it can still be a risky drug to continue using.
Regular users of cannabis can become addicted, and if they suddenly stop using the substance after heavy use they can experience nasty withdrawal symptoms.
This includes irritability, insomnia, loss of appetite, sweating, shaking, and nausea.
Even though the side effects of continued cannabis use are inevitably much less dangerous than those from other drugs such as opioids, these withdrawal symptoms can still heavily interfere with your life.
Cannabis use can worsen your performance at school or work, get in the way of relationships, and cause financial issues.

Other types of addiction that can be treated at an alcohol & drug rehab centre include:
Therapy is not as simple as it is often shown to be on-screen and online.
Although individual therapy and group therapy are very common, these are not the only forms of therapy that are available to individuals seeking addiction treatments.
Depending on your addiction and your personal treatment needs, you will experience a number of different methods of therapy and counselling.
You will also reap the benefits of all of them to ensure you receive well-rounded and multi-faceted care.
Each person and addiction is different, so expect every treatment plan to be too.
This means you are likely to have a completely different experience of treatment in a rehab clinic compared to other clients, depending on your circumstances.
Every therapy you receive will have been designed based on scientifically proven treatment techniques and previous evidence-based treatments, all developed by addiction specialists with years of experience.
Some forms of therapy that you can expect to participate in include:
Also available at addiction rehab centres are other psychiatric treatment services such as contingency management, coping mechanisms and person-centred care.
You can also access help for brief intervention, if you are worried about a loved one and need help.

Many people struggling to cope with a drug or alcohol addiction are not only dealing with substance use.
A large percentage of those with addictions will also be experiencing a co-occurring mental health disorder – and vice versa.
Those with an existing mental health disorder are twice as likely to experience an addiction when compared to the overall population.
The existence of both of these issues is labelled as a dual diagnosis and requires specialised dual diagnosis treatment.
Clients with a dual diagnosis will need more detailed treatment plans that address both the addiction and the mental health disorder in equal measures.
This is crucial for a recovery to be possible, and treating just one problem or the other would likely lead to relapse due to the two issues being so closely connected.
Some MH disorders that are commonly found in those with drug or alcohol addictions are:
If you believe you are suffering from both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder, we can help.
We will work to find you a suitable drug and alcohol rehab centre in Nottingham that can accommodate your specific needs, providing you with a selection of both mental health and addiction treatment places to choose from, soon setting you on the road to recovery.
You can also find general mental health support at Rethink Mental Illness, Papyrus, Young Minds, Samaritans and Mind UK.

The first few weeks and months after you leave the care of your chosen rehabilitation facility are crucial.
This is the period of time where you will be tested by yourself, your living environment, and by those around you.
To ensure that your adjustment back to the real world is successful, you will take part in relapse prevention planning before your time in a rehab clinic draws to a close.
This planning will ensure you stay on track even after you leave rehab, and teaches you what to do if you do feel a relapse approaching – and what to do if one happens.
You will work with a member of the team to create two plans – one that will be in place to help you avoid a relapse, and one that will teach you the steps to take if you do experience one.
A relapse does not indicate the end of your recovery or your journey to a substance-free life.
If you do experience one, you always have the chance to get back up and continue with what you have learnt in your rehab clinic, and a recovery is still very much possible.

If you feel like a stay at a rehab clinic is not the right treatment for you, there are other ways you can reach your recovery goals of a substance-free life.
If you are deemed able to do so, you always have the option of performing an at-home detox from the safety of your own living environment.
Home detox is guided by medical professionals who check in on you daily via phone call.
This option can provide you with adequate care and treatment for your addiction, appropriate support throughout your withdrawal, and the freedom and independence that many long to hold onto during recovery attempts.
Support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and Cocaine Anonymous (CA) are highly effective and practical techniques in treating substance abuse disorders (SUDs) and alcohol abuse if you need an alternative option to rehab clinics.
In addition, research has shown that regularly attending meetings and staying active in the 12-step treatment programme for one or more years brings greater chances of sustained abstinence. These are based on religion and the concept of a higher power.
There is also SMART Recovery, a worldwide organisation and charity that has already helped millions of people lead lives in recovery.
They offer a wide range of online content to get you started with your journeys, such as online meetings, teaching materials and manuals, and endless training programmes.
They offer as much assistance as you need, and their recovery 4-point treatment programme has already changed so many lives – and yours could be next.
