Rehab treatment can be a very daunting prospect for many individuals suffering from addiction, and so it can often take the words and sentiments of others to get the drug and alcohol rehab process in Oxfordshire started.
The family and friends of an addicted individual can hold an intervention to offer this push, and this often involves them starting a supportive yet structured dialogue about why rehab treatment is so desperately needed.
Family and friends, however, do not need to follow the conventional intervention model in order to help their addicted loved one.
Someone who has an addiction is psychologically and physically dependent on the drug or alcohol, however this can be resolved with help from rehab.
Research such as the study by Terry E Robinson and Kent C Berridge [4] that looked into the ‘Incentive-Sensitisation Theory’ and why people crave drugs.
This means that you should not blame your loved one for their continuing addiction, but you should encourage them to seek help at rehab.

Alcohol is one of the most dangerous substances to become addicted to because of how severely it can affect the body in withdrawal.
This is why detoxing without rehab can be risky.
A study by Robin Room, Thomas Babor and Jürgen Rehm revealed that ‘4% of the global burden of disease is attributable to alcohol’. [5]
This accounts for almost as much death and disability as tobacco and high blood pressure (hypertension) globally.
Rehab can offer an in-depth understanding of alcoholism, and medical supervision.
It is one of several addictive substances that can seriously threaten an individual’s life, and detoxing from alcohol without medical supervision can create many risks as a result.
If you choose not to go to rehab, it’s important to get medical care for your withdrawal from a GP.
Some of the most serious of these symptoms during an alcohol detox that you could risk if you detox out of rehab include: [6]
At rehab, you will be prescribed medications to help with the alcohol detox, such as Librium.
There are other medications to help with getting over your alcohol addiction, like Acamprosate (Campral®), antidepressants such as nefazodone, desipramine, or imipramine, or the opioid antagonist Naltrexone.
A natural alternative to Naltrexone that rehab can offer is PhenQ, made of 5 potent ingredients that are 100% natural.
The ingredients are Chromium Picolinate, Capsimax Powder, Caffeine, Nopal and L-Carnitine Fumarate.

While it is commonly agreed upon within the field of addiction recovery that drug and alcohol rehab is the most effective method of treatment, it is not the only option that individuals have.
For many, leaving their job and family responsibilities behind can be almost impossible, and so the options that allow them to stay at home and more or less continue with their daily schedule can be of great interest.
Within these parameters, there are two main options: home detox and self-detox. It should be distinguished, however, that there are great differences between these two treatment options.

In this kind of treatment, individuals remain at home and detox by themselves with the support of delivered medication.
They stop their substance use and are assisted in withstanding the difficulties of withdrawal by taking benzodiazepines, usually Librium, which dull the impacts of their withdrawal.
If you don’t go to rehab, these can be prescribed by a doctor or other medical professional.
Progress is monitored by regular meetings with a medical professional, and these sessions can also be used to offer advice and guidance as to how to improve the detox process.
The primary benefit of home detox is that it allows individuals to continue with their day-to-day lives while actively tackling their substance abuse.
It is also a much cheaper alternative to full-time drug and alcohol rehab.
Addiction is sometimes used as a means of self-medicating against psychological distress and mental health disorders.
According to the NESARC data [7] 28.6% of people with a current alcohol addiction disorder diagnosis had at least one personality disorder like bipolar disorder.
Mental health disorders are often treated at rehab.
When ‘high’, they can experience an ease in their anxiety, temporary relief from their depression, or a distraction from their ongoing trauma.
The relief experienced by people when they take these substances can encourage them to consume them more regularly in order to self-medicate.
When addiction and another mental health problem are entangled in this way, it is known in rehab as a dual diagnosis, and it is essential that this is identified in order for treatment to be effective.
If the underlying complications that fuel addiction – for example, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder – are not worked through, the problems will remain.
Dual diagnosis must be acknowledged at rehab so that therapy can be employed to disentangle the relationship between an individual’s psychological obstacles and their reliance on substance abuse.

While rehab in Oxfordshire or near Oxfordshire is usually the best and most efficient method of tackling addiction, there are alternatives to full-time rehab.
In Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA) [8] and Cocaine Anonymous, [9] in Oxfordshire, individuals attend meetings where they discuss their alcoholism or drug addiction.
You could go to these alongside rehab, to supplement your treatment.
The purpose of these sessions is to help individuals work through their troubles and learn from the experience and expertise of other attendees.
The structure of these meetings is usually dictated by a group leader who provides prompts for conversation.
Those who are new to the rehabilitation meetings are encouraged to introduce and share, while more experienced members are given the space to share what has worked for them and how they are progressing in their recovery.
Each member of AA and NA has a sponsor, an individual who personally supports and monitors their engagement with the programme.
This and the camaraderie provided by the regular meetings is designed to help individuals maintain their sobriety outside of rehab and feel a sense of belonging.
You can find AA meetings in Oxfordshire and near Oxfordshire here.[10] If you are affected by a loved one’s addiction, then it may also be worth connecting with Al-Anon. [11]
NA is particularly beneficial following the completion of drug addiction treatment.
You can find NA rehabilitation meetings in Oxford at St Giles’ Church Parish (Rooms, 10 Woodstock Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX2 6HT) on Tuesday nights, or Thursdays at New Road Baptist Church (Bonn Square, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX1 1LQ).

The SMART process [12] teaches motivation, handling cravings, coping with challenges, and living substance-free.
These rehabilitation steps are the focus of the programme, but a linear progression through them is not expected. Individuals might learn new coping mechanisms but lose their motivation, and this is okay.
The goal of SMART is to help individuals see that resilience and consistency is the best way to beat addiction.
You can also attend SMART groups while going to rehab.
It could take anywhere between 6 months to 5 years or more to reach abstinence and overcome your addiction completely, [13] but it is worth it for a lifetime in recovery.
Rehab can help speed up this process.
It should not be seen as a sign of weakness if you relapse as recovery takes time. Relapsing is common and occurs between 40% to 60% of people who are trying to recover.

With outpatient programmes, treatment is provided via regular meetings with an addiction specialist while an individual continues to live at home.
The structure of outpatient rehab can be adapted to suit whatever an individual needs.
The session can focus on learning and practising techniques for resisting the urge to use a substance and staying calm.
Outpatient rehab is best utilised for those who have relatively manageable symptoms and require little more than advice and guidance when it comes to their recovery.
In drug and alcohol rehab in Oxfordshire, you will opt for detox, rehab, or both.
Detox means abstaining from the substance. This will help your brain recover from its dependency.
The rehab process in Oxfordshire involves changing your mentality.
This will help you to avoid relapsing into substance abuse.
When the detox is over (in about 7-10 days), the rehab starts. It begins with therapy and counselling.
The goal is to adopt a sober mindset. You do so by adopting healthy coping mechanisms.
You will learn to open up and trust other people at rehab. You will get the skills to avoid taking drugs in the future.
For years, these therapies have helped people in the fight against addiction.
These therapies will be available both during your residential rehab programme and during the aftercare sessions, where the objective is relapse prevention.
At an Oxfordshire rehab centre, you can expect these therapies:
Acceptance and commitment therapy helps patients to deal with stress and bad emotions. It can be a great form of release.
Many rehabs in Oxfordshire offer ACT therapy.
Art therapy allows patients to find modes of expression. Art therapists may vary in their methods. However, the goal is always to get the patient to express their emotions.
Art Therapy is offered by a significant number of rehabs in Oxfordshire and near Oxfordshire.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most popular forms of therapy. During CBT, the therapist teaches you to deal with negative thought patterns and habits.
CBT is a key tool used in Oxfordshire rehabs and other addiction support services.
Counselling is available for patients who need emotional support or advice.
This is an essential part of the rehab process in Oxfordshire.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy combines the mental side of CBT with mindfulness. It helps people to accept their situation, while also working to improve it.
Many drug and alcohol rehabs in Oxfordshire and near Oxfordshire use DBT when necessary.
Experiential therapy has the patient relive intense memories. This is done through acting, role-playing and other media.
This process helps the patient to clarify their emotions in those painful moments. It also helps them to move forward from traumatic experiences.
Some rehabs in Oxfordshire will offer this form of therapy.
Family therapy invites the patient’s family to sit for a discussion.
During family therapy, the patient explains their view of things. They also listen to their loved ones talking about how things have affected them.
Several rehabs in Oxfordshire and near Oxfordshire can accommodate this kind of therapy when needed.
Group therapy brings together several patients who are in a similar place. Together they develop self-belief, openness and trust in others. Group therapy helps people to realise they are not alone.
Anyone attending rehab in Oxfordshire will experience group therapy.
Holistic therapy approaches all aspects of the patient – mind, body and spirit. The objective is to balance these three aspects. This will lead to healthier life choices for the patient.
Many rehabs in Oxfordshire offer some kind of holistic therapy, though this depends on the nature of the rehab, their location in Oxfordshire and their available resources.
This can include music therapy, art therapy, mindfulness, yoga, drama therapy, Acupuncture, Reiki, Tai Chi and even equine therapy.
Fitness therapy works to put those who have suffered from drug and alcohol addiction back in shape. Often, these individuals neglect their physical health during their drug use.
Many rehabs in Oxfordshire are able to provide fitness therapy.
Psychotherapy dives into the patient’s subconscious to discover the roots of their behaviours.
The rehab therapist helps the patient to evolve defences against self-destructive thoughts.
This is a cornerstone of nearly all addiction recovery services found in Oxfordshire.
Other forms of rehabilitation therapy include couples therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, rational emotive behaviour therapy, anger management, stress management and eating disorder treatment.

Most drugs are very addictive. Often your own denial is the key factor stopping you from dealing with this issue. Drugs and alcohol can cause a cycle of dependency.
Once you stop taking drugs at rehab, the withdrawal effects can last between 7 and 21 days.
Common withdrawal symptoms include cravings, paranoia, insomnia and anxiety.
To varying degrees, other withdrawal symptoms at rehab may include:
Your body will undergo changes when you stop taking a substance at rehab.
These are known as withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms can range from mild to extreme.
Medically assisted detox at a drug and alcohol rehab in Oxfordshire can ease the pain of withdrawal symptoms. The doctor on call will know what to prescribe based on your medical test.
These medications are neutral. They will not add to your drug addiction.

People who detox alone without rehab have to deal with dangerous withdrawal symptoms.
They do so without medication or proper care. These symptoms may deter people from starting their detox.
On a medically-assisted detox, you will receive a lot of support from staff and doctors. Compared to detoxing alone, rehab in Oxfordshire reduces relapse rates by a big margin.
Family visits are often limited to family therapy sessions during rehab in Oxfordshire.
However, these sessions have a huge impact on a patient’s recovery in rehab.
If you are considering visiting family or friends in rehab, make sure to call ahead. There are often visiting times at rehab centres.
There can be fear around drug addiction and the workplace. It’s best to be transparent with your place of work. It’s also good to know company policy on drug use before talking to your boss.
The law will secure your job during rehab, but you may still want to arrange finances for the coming weeks. It is equally important to discuss how your duties at work will be covered with colleagues.
