Try drug and alcohol rehab in Shrewsbury for your best chance at recovering fully from your addiction.

 

What causes substance abuse and addiction?

There’s never a simple answer to this question because it will vary from person to person. However, the one constant that all addicts have is a key reason for why they became addicted in the first place.

The reasons can range from having an unstable childhood, mental health conditions, job stress, family or relationship issues, grief, tragedy or a mixture of any of these. In most cases, you turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to cope with problems or stress. Therefore, it’s only half the battle to remove the drugs and alcohol. You’ll still struggle with the addiction unless we help you with the rest of the problem too.

Having access to professional addiction counsellors is the best way to identify and understand the root cause of your addiction – something we discuss and work through in a safe environment.

 

What does rehab look like and how does it work?

Forget your previous notions about alcohol and drug rehab. It isn’t like how it looks in the movies. There are no prison guards, white walls or bleak hospital rooms.

Instead, you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you walk through Ocean Recovery’s doors. You’ll be met with homely accommodation, spa treatment, private rooms, gardens and a beautiful sea view in our rehab treatment centre. This gives you a space to relax and really heal in.

The recovery programme itself will be hard work, but we’re here to make sure you feel comfortable.

The first stage of rehab treatment is to go through medical detox. It’s an unpleasant but vital stage in the recovery process. Detox gets rid of all the toxic substances in your body, which we need so we can start the real treatment. You will experience withdrawal symptoms but we will help ease them wherever possible.

After detox, it’s time to begin the real work – keeping you sober in the long term. Our addiction counsellors will work closely with you to try and identify your reasons for addiction as well as your triggers.

We will give you strategies for coping with your problems as well as advice on how to avoid or deal with potential triggers. You will also get to attend support groups within the rehab centre so you can talk your addiction through with others who understand what you’re going through.

This will help prepare you for life outside of the rehab centre so you can maintain your hard-won sobriety.

 

How do you tell you’re ready for rehab?

Hearing all about our rehab centres is one thing, but the question lurking at the back of your mind, no doubt is, are you really ready for rehab?

Perhaps you’re still not fully convinced, or you’re reading this on behalf of someone else you want to get the help they need. How do you convince them or yourself that you finally need help?

It’s not easy, but there are some clear signs that it’s finally time to get help.

Health issues – Taking in toxic substances can take a significant toll on the body, leading to health problems both long and short term. This could mean a weakened immune system or organ damage and eventually failure if things get too bad.

Mental effects – When trying to self medicate due to mental health problems such as depression, substances like alcohol can make matters much worse. Alcohol works as a depressant and drugs can have unpredictable effects on the brain and pre-existing mental health conditions.

Relationship issues – Becoming an addict can break up relationships, friendships and put a strain on relationships with family members (even when they fully support you). This leads to instability and poor mental health – which usually leads to further substance abuse.

Professional life – Addiction’s side effects can impact your ability to do your job, even leading to job loss or damage to your career overall. This makes it hard to maintain stability in your life or get back to how things used to be, but remember, there is always a way back.

Making sacrifices for your substance abuse – If you find yourself giving up things you ordinarily enjoyed in order to drink or take drugs, this is a clear sign that it’s taking over your life and sapping the joy from it. Everything now revolves around substance.

Financial difficulties – Maintaining an addiction is expensive. Whether it’s alcohol, drugs or gambling, the more the addiction grows, the more you’ll struggle to fund it. That’s why so many people end up turning to a life of crime in order to fund the habit.

If any of these apply to you, then it’s time to start thinking about rehab treatment. Even if these are only small factors in your life, if you find yourself unable to step away from substance abuse, the issues will simply grow and grow.

One small disruption in your day to day life can impact everything else, which can lead to you struggling even more and therefore increasing your substance abuse to cope.
