When people talk about strength, they often bring up great feats others have done.
They will talk about Olympians breaking work records while surrounded by the greatest athletes in the world.
They will talk about firefighters risking their lives by storming into a burning building to carry someone out.
It is easy to recognise the strength in people like this. You can see how when they were tested, they were able to rise up and push through the barrier that tried to hold them back.
Strength always has been associated with survivors and heroes, but they are not the only ones with it.
There is more to a person’s strength than their physical abilities. It also has to do with their inner strength and resolve to carry on even when things are hard and seem impossible.
Anyone can have inner strength, and it can help you achieve incredible things you may never have thought possible.
It will be able to help you achieve long-term recovery so that you can live drug and alcohol-free.
So many people living with a drug or alcohol dependency make the mistake of thinking just because they abuse substances, they are weak. That they gave in to their weakness, and that is how they ended up in their current situation.
Struggling with a drug or alcohol dependency doesn’t make you weak. It just means that you need help too.
Look at those listed as being strong. They each represent a different area of inner strength that you can achieve through a drug and alcohol rehab in Stepney. So you will be able to see that strength isn’t just something you have, or you don’t.
Instead, it is something you build and work for with the help of others who want to support you.
At Rehab 4 Addiction, we want you to be able to tap into the inner strength we know you have and use it to do something incredibly difficult and incredibly brave.
We want you to put your trust in us and allow us to help you along the way on your journey to long-term recovery.
This isn’t something you have to do alone, so please call us at 0800 140 4690 and let us enable you to live a happier and healthier life that is drug and alcohol-free.
When people see Olympians competing and doing amazing things, it is easy to forget that what they are doing would be impossible without a team of people behind them and supporting them at every stage.
Their strength comes from people supporting them as they build up their resilience and work to push past difficult obstacles.
The staff in a drug and alcohol rehab in Stepney can do the same for you.
They are there to help you work towards a life free of all drugs and alcohol so that you can be happier and healthier. You need to be able to trust that they know what they are doing, and by listening to them, you can achieve long-term recovery safely.
But we understand that you may be tempted to try and achieve long-term recovery alone.
After all, it seems simple enough. All you have to do is not abuse any drugs or alcohol, and you will be fine, right?
Wrong.
In a perfect world, getting over a drug or alcohol dependency would be as simple as just stopping all your substance abuse. But unfortunately, in the real world, it is a much more complicated process that needs to be done under specific conditions in order to be done safely.
If you were to try and quit cold turkey, you would quickly find yourself experiencing something known as withdrawal symptoms.
Withdrawal symptoms occur because when you first start abusing substances, your brain experiences a dopamine rush. As dopamine is the body’s feel-good chemical that allows you to experience pleasure, your brain begins to crave more.
However, the danger is that over time your brain will get used to the elevated dopamine levels, and you will need more and more drugs or alcohol to achieve the same kind of rush.
At this point, your brain will also begin to believe that it needs a drug or alcohol to produce any dopamine, which will make your cravings get worse and worse.
If these cravings are ignored, your brain begins to panic, and this results in withdrawal symptoms.
The withdrawal symptoms can be very dangerous. Therefore, if you begin to experience any of the following symptoms, please make your way to a medical facility as soon as you can.
The withdrawal symptoms are:
When experienced alone, these symptoms can be very dangerous. That is why as part of your treatments at a drug and alcohol rehab in Stepney, you will only experience these as part of the perfectly safe detox.
The staff in a drug and alcohol rehab centre are there to support you and make your recovery journey possible.
You just need to be willing to trust in them and their expertise.

When a firefighter runs into a burning building, it won’t be done without the proper equipment and training.
They needed to know how to do it safely, so they were able to get back out injury-free.
In a drug and alcohol rehab in Stepney, you are just as much there to learn how to avoid future relapses as you are there to keep yourself away from drugs or alcohol.
During your stay at a drug or alcohol rehab in Stepney, you will be expected to attend regular therapy sessions where you and a fully licenced therapist will work on unpacking why you abuse substances in the first place.
The most common reason behind substance abuse is mental health issues, most commonly either trauma or an undiagnosed mental illness.
When a person experiences trauma, it changes how their brain is able to respond to stress. However, it reacts the same whether the stress is caused by actual danger or a mild inconvenience. This is known as hypervigilance and basically means your fight or flight response is always on.
Many people who are living with trauma turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to dull their fight-or-flight response and to live a normal life.
Similarly, with an undiagnosed mental illness such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder or even psychosis. In addition, people often use various drugs or alcohol as a way to regulate their moods in the form of self-medication.
Unfortunately, while there may be some benefit to this in the short run, eventually, this will only make your mental health worse.
The only way to improve your mental health is through hard work and the help of a therapist.
In a drug and alcohol rehab centre therapy session, you will learn how to identify the triggers for your cravings and how to replace your substance abuse with healthier coping mechanisms.
When a person is struggling to escape a dangerous situation, they won’t turn down help because they want to do it on their own.
They would take the offered hand and not have to struggle so much.
