Both physical and psychological dependence on alcohol are signs of an alcohol addiction.
People who are addicted to alcohol may find that they struggle to live their lives without drinking daily, or use alcohol excessively during short periods of time – (this is often referred to as a binge).
Alcohol use becomes a problem when it starts to dictate how you live your life.
You may find that drinking alcohol becomes a priority – more so than family, friends, work, and other relationships – and it may become difficult to stop drinking because it helps you cope with stress, anxiety, or depression.
The NHS recommends that people do not regularly consume more than 14 units of alcohol per week.
Consuming more than this is dangerous and risky to health in the long-term.
If a person is addicted to alcohol and decides to stop drinking, they may experience withdrawal symptoms – if they have been addicted to alcohol for a while, these can be quite severe and even dangerous.
For this reason, if a person finds that they are struggling to control their alcohol consumption, or that their alcohol consumption is affecting their life, relationships and overall wellbeing, rehabilitation is an option that should be considered.

Sometimes it can be helpful to ‘intervene’ with someone who is using drugs or alcohol to excess with the aim of motivating them to cut back on the use of the substance or even to stop altogether.
Interventions can be beneficial because they let the person struggling with addiction understand how much they are valued by their loved one, as well as to see the extent of their addiction and how it has come to affect others.
A person may feel more motivated to pursue recovery if they understand their importance to others around them, and that their behaviour is causing their friends or family distress.
Addiction often affects more people than just the person who uses the substance, and the support of loved ones can become a motivating factor in helping to break the addiction.
Sometimes interventions by family and friends can be unsuccessful or distressing for both parties – in which cases, it may be more effective to use the services of a trained interventionist.
Alternatively, a commonly used technique for intervention known as CRAFT, or Community Reinforcement And Family Training, is also an option, which entails praising or encouraging someone who is battling with addiction in the moments when they demonstrate restraint.

Any kind of rehabilitation requires medical support, treatment, and if necessary, a period of detoxing.
Although detoxing may be done at home, it is usually included as a part of a treatment programme in a rehabilitation centre.
Patients at a rehabilitation facility must abstain from alcohol and drugs during their stay and will also receive treatment in the form of therapy and addiction counselling while there.
In addition to receiving a diagnosis of any co-occurring mental health disorders (dual diagnosis), inpatients in a facility in Vauxhall will also learn coping mechanisms to manage stress and prevent relapse.

Dual diagnosis is a type of mental health diagnosis that typically takes place while in the rehabilitation process.
It involves the diagnosis of any underlying mental health conditions that may have increased the chance of developing an alcohol or drug addiction.
Substance use disorders are concurrent with, or can result from, undiagnosed mental health conditions such as:
After diagnosis of these conditions, individuals in recovery can receive support and treatment for them, which should hopefully make addiction recovery easier.
Often, for those with undiagnosed, underlying mental health conditions, substance use disorders arise from trying to manage the symptoms of these conditions – this is why dual diagnosis is so important.
Without symptoms, or with reduced symptoms, people may find that they can manage life better and find recovery less challenging.

Treatment for addiction is a very personal and individual experience, and each person’s need for treatment may have a very different time frame.
The typical length of stay at a Vauxhall residential facility is 28 days, however actual treatment times may be significantly longer or shorter than this.
Alcohol rehab in Vauxhall can last as little as 7 days, but lengthier programmes are advised as they have a better possibility of long-term success.
A time frame of about 28 days gives ample chance to start reshaping mindsets and ways of thinking that were connected to the addiction, while also giving enough time to detox from narcotics or alcohol (if necessary).

Alcohol usage, particularly the use of alcohol over a long period of time can lead to what is described as a physical addiction to alcohol, rather than just psychological dependence.
Abruptly quitting alcohol usage after long periods of use might result in withdrawal symptoms, some of which can be dangerous.
Generally, symptoms are most intense within the 1–3-day period after drinking is stopped, but symptoms can last for up to several weeks depending on the individual
These symptoms include, but are not limited to:
Fortunately, symptoms are quite easily managed and much safer if detox is done properly under professional medical supervision.
Detox can be done at home with the supervision of medical professionals, in hospital, or in residential treatment facilities in Vauxhall.
Without proper supervision or the administration of drugs to reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms, you might be at risk of dangerous withdrawal symptoms like seizures.
For alcohol detox, Librium (Chlordiazepoxide) is commonly used – it is a sedative used to calm the central nervous system – this is so that the body slows down its processes and doesn’t have as great of an overreaction to alcohol withdrawal.
Librium is typically given over a 10-14 day period, but this can vary based on the length of time the individual has used alcohol, and the severity and duration of withdrawal symptoms.
After detox is complete, symptoms have stopped, and the medications to stop withdrawal are no longer being administered, intensive therapy and counselling will be undertaken to help aid in long-term recovery.
During this period of rehabilitation, the patient will learn techniques for managing stress, difficult emotional issues, and other situations that might trigger the feeling that they need to drink.
Situational triggers as well as other triggers will be identified with a therapist – identifying and knowing the triggers for alcohol use can help people to avoid alcohol in future and prevent the possibility of relapse.

When it comes to cocaine addictions, a detoxing period is not required.
This is due to the fact that cocaine, while it can be psychologically addictive, is not addictive to the body – meaning it will not overreact when use is stopped and produce any physical withdrawal symptoms.
Rather than undergoing a detox period, rehab for cocaine or crack cocaine will be primarily based in therapies and counselling that will be undergone in the treatment centre.
Therapy with a trained therapist will help in overcoming addiction by providing the tools required to function with lower stress and anxiety, diagnosis of any underlying health conditions, identification of any triggers for use and the discussion of any past events that might have led to cocaine use.

Cannabis is also not a chemically addictive drug, meaning that when someone stops taking it, they won’t experience any physical withdrawal symptoms.
Cannabis is often used for its ability to induce a feeling of calm – this can lead some people to feel that they have to use it to reduce or fight stress or anxiety that might be caused by daily life or by underlying mental health conditions such as an anxiety disorder.
If you feel dependent on cannabis and feel that you would not be able to stop using it, this can be a sign of psychological dependence or addiction.
Excessive cannabis use may also have an impact on relationships and employment – if this is the case, rehabilitation may be worth considering.
Because cannabis use does not lead to withdrawal symptoms when it is stopped suddenly, cannabis rehabilitation will primarily involve talking therapy with a professional therapist where the causes of the cannabis dependency will be considered.
Alongside dual diagnosis, cannabis addiction can be more easily overcome – especially if it shares its origins in ‘self-medicating’ for conditions like anxiety disorders, or simply stress.

In contrast to cocaine or cannabis, heroin addictions can result in chemical addiction, resulting in the body reacting withwithdrawal symptoms when the use is stopped.
The most common symptoms of withdrawal once heroin use is stopped include:
Because withdrawal symptoms can get more severe if addiction has been a problem for many years or months, or heroin has been used excessively, detoxing will be undertaken first.
During the detox process, drugs like Clonidine – which lower blood pressure – will be administered to patients which will reduce symptom severity and make withdrawal a safer process.
If it is deemed necessary, a process called ‘maintenance therapy’ may be suggested instead.
During maintenance therapy medications like Methadone might be used as a heroin substitute and gradually reduced over several days or weeks.
As with other addictions, post-detox therapy will be undertaken with a trained professional who will help identify the origins of the heroin addiction, which might involve the diagnosis of underlying mental health conditions or past events such as trauma.
Therapy will aim to teach the techniques needed to stay off heroin and live life comfortably without it.
