Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centres in Runcorn

Just as in other large towns and cities, drug addiction and alcoholism are problems in Runcorn, but contrary to popular belief, these illnesses touch more than just the affected individual. In fact, addiction is known as a family illness because of the devastating effect it can have on those closest to the person abusing drugs or alcohol. Children are often negatively affected by parental addiction while many will go on to struggle with substance abuse and addiction themselves in later life. To minimise the effects of substance abuse, it is important that those affected can easily and quickly access drug and alcohol rehab in Runcorn as well as in other parts of the UK.

Over and above individuals and their loved ones, addiction can have negative consequences for the wider community as well. Alcohol and drugs are often involved in violent crimes, and the National Health Service is overwhelmed by substance-related hospital admissions every single year. Unless there are more options regarding alcohol and drug rehab in Runcorn and other parts of the country, the situation will simply get worse. That is why Recovery.org.uk exists. We want to make sure that those who need addiction services can easily access them no matter what their circumstances.

Do You Need Alcohol or Drug Rehab in Runcorn?

Addiction is an illness affecting countless individuals across the UK, but many of those affected fail to see that their problems are the result of their substance abuse. Many believe that drugs and alcohol are the only good things in their lives and are unable to consider the prospect of giving them up.

In the case of those who abuse alcohol, it can be difficult to see themselves as alcoholics; this is often because they have their own idea of what an alcoholic is. They believe that those affected by this illness drink every day as soon as they wake up. They may even think that to be an alcoholic you need to be constantly drunk, incapable of holding down a job, and estranged from your family.

This is not the case; some alcoholics do not even drink every day. However, when they do drink, they lose control of their ability to stop. Does this sound familiar to you? If so, we urge you to consider the possibility that you may need alcohol rehab in Runcorn.

Perhaps you do not have a problem with alcohol; maybe you have found yourself dependent on prescription medication that your doctor gave you for a genuine medical condition. If so, you could still benefit from drug rehab in Runcorn. It may be hard for you to accept a diagnosis of addict if you have never abused alcohol or illegal drugs.  However, you are more than capable of becoming addicted to prescription medication if you are taking more than your doctor advised or if you are taking them at increasingly frequent intervals – this is classed as prescription drug abuse.

Is Detox Necessary Before Rehab?

If you have developed a dependency on alcohol or drugs, then it is highly likely that you will experience withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking them. These symptoms will range in intensity from mild to severe, but because it is impossible to predict which symptoms you will get, it is advisable to detox in a supervised facility.

Those who have been abusing chemical substances for a long time are likely to experience a range of withdrawal symptoms. The most common of these symptoms are shaking, sweating, nausea and headaches. Nevertheless, some individuals will suffer from hallucinations, delusions and even convulsions. Detoxing with medical supervision can mean the process is safer and more comfortable, and it is often possible for the most severe symptoms to be prevented with medication or nutritional supplements.

Most clinics will require you to complete a programme of detoxification before you can begin your rehab. It is essential that your mind and body is free from chemicals, and because most clinics use an abstinence-based approach, you must be clean before you can enter.

Do You Need Drug or Alcohol Rehab in Runcorn After Detox?

It can be difficult for some people to understand the need for both detox and rehab. While it is imperative to get clean and quit alcohol or drugs, it is not the only part of the process. It is essential that you deal with both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, but detox only deals with the physical; it is not the same as treatment.

To fully overcome your addiction, you will need to get clean and then complete a programme of rehabilitation where the underlying cause of your addiction will be dealt with as well as the issue of relapse prevention.

During rehab, you can expect to spend much of your time in therapy or counselling sessions, but you will also have life skills workshops and seminars. Rehab is not just about quitting chemical substances and dealing with the immediate issues. It is also about learning how to move forward with a drug- or alcohol-free life.

    What Happens after Rehab?

    It is common to wonder what will happen once rehab programme finishes. We completely understand your concerns and want to put your mind at rest in that you will never be left to fend for yourself.

    You will not be left alone without support after your programme has ended. You will continue to have contact with your counsellor or therapist when appropriate, and you can also join a local support group where you can meet up regularly with other recovering addicts.

    Aftercare may also be available in the form of sober living accommodation. Some people are not ready to return home after their rehab programme has finished and would find it easier to enter a sober living house with other recovering addicts. Many find that this helps with the transition to independent sober living.
