There are few things in life as devastating as drug or alcohol addiction. It can ruin relationships, destroy careers, and tear families apart. If you suffer from either of these problems or have a loved one that does, then finding the best rehab clinic is crucial.

Attending rehab will benefit you in so many ways. For starters, it’s a tried and tested method of getting rid of addictions and restoring your purpose in life. You will be treated by an expert team of medical and psychiatric professionals who help figure out what causes your addictive tendencies and how to stop them. You don’t just learn how to give up drugs or alcohol, you also learn how to kick the habit for good.

Consultation

By going to rehab, you get continuous support that ensures you don’t have any relapses along the way. It’s simply the best way of ensuring an addiction is kicked to the curb, and your life can change forever. Plus, there are lots of drug rehab clinics in Preston that are funded by the NHS as well. So, you don’t even have to pay for the treatment, which is a very welcome bonus.

 

What are the symptoms of alcohol addiction?

Alcohol addiction is often referred to as alcoholism, and it’s when you become dependent on alcoholic beverages. Some people develop a physical dependency in that they must drink a certain amount to stop themselves from getting withdrawal symptoms. Others develop a mental dependence where they need alcohol to cope with particular events.

It’s a widespread problem, and there are different levels to which you can be addicted. Many people may have an alcohol problem without even being aware of it. Typically, these are the main symptoms of alcohol addiction:

  • Feeling like you need a drink to mask physical pain
  • Relying on alcohol to help you in tough situations
  • Getting panicked or worried when you’re not sure when your next drink will be
  • Drinking in the morning
  • Struggling to stop drinking once you’ve started
  • Getting withdrawal symptoms like sweating, shakes, or nausea when you stop drinking

If you notice these symptoms in yourself or someone you care about, then it’s well worth looking for treatment. The early you spot addictive behaviour, the easier it is to treat.

 

What are the symptoms of drug addiction?

Drug addiction can be much different to alcohol addiction, depending on the drugs you’re addicted to. Numerous recreational drugs are highly addictive, including cannabis, cocaine, and heroin. But, it’s also extremely common to become addicted to prescription drugs like paracetamol, ibuprofen, or various medications for depression/anxiety.

Here are some of the telltale signs of drug addiction:

Bloodshot eyes and a lack of sleep

  • No appetite
  • Personality changes and mood swings
  • Increased blood pressure
  • Mental health issues like depression or anxiety
  • A compulsive need to take drugs as a coping mechanism

Much like alcohol addiction, drug addiction can be treated. Once any of these signs are identified, you should find a rehab clinic in Preston that can help you out. The experts at these clinics will give you the best treatment possible to help kick your addiction for good.

 

How does a detox work?

One of the most common ways of treating addiction is with a detox. This is short for detoxification, and it’s one of the early stages in the treatment process. When you go to a rehab clinic, you’ll be put on a detox that aims to make you sober. It works by gradually flushing out all the bad things in your body. You see, when you regularly drink or take drugs, your body becomes full of these substances. Not only that, but it becomes used to them, which is why you’re often compelled to keep taking drugs or drinking alcohol.

With a detox, you will stop filling your system with these bad things until all the toxins are flushed out. Usually, the best way to do this is by utilising medication. This is because you will experience severe side effects from the detox, mainly in the form of withdrawal symptoms. The number one reason for relapses is that people can’t cope with their withdrawal symptoms and go back to drugs or alcohol to soothe the pain.

By giving your medication, the withdrawal symptoms are easier to manage, and you will gradually wean yourself off the drugs/alcohol. After the whole detox process, you’ll be in a much better place to continue with other forms of treatment – like counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy.

 

How much does rehab cost?

Understandably, one of your main concerns is how much rehab will cost you. In fact, this is one of the main reasons people choose to forego treatment. The assumption is that it costs a lot of money, which many people don’t have. On the contrary, rehabilitation can be entirely free as some clinics are funded by the NHS. However, you will have to go through various checks and assessments to ensure you are entitled to the treatment. It often results in long waiting times, but it’s worth it if you want to get the treatment without needing to pay.

On the other hand, there are private clinics where you can pay for your treatment. The cost of your treatment will vary depending on a few factors. Firstly, the length of your rehab treatment comes into play. If it takes you a long time to be cured, then you naturally have to pay more. Also, different clinics have different facilities, which influence the price. Don’t worry, we can help you find a private rehab clinic in Preston that fits your budget and gives you everything you need.
