For any individual who has developed an addiction, a supervised inpatient treatment programme will, in most cases, entirely eliminate distressing withdrawal symptoms. Depending on the combination of drugs consumed, these drug detox symptoms can include vomiting, profuse sweating, insomnia, and in the most severe cases, seizures and death. This is why treatment, in a safe clinic, is so important. It affords the individual the best chance of sustained recovery from drug addiction, as we monitor and treat each individual’s physical cravings for drugs and / or alcohol, overseen at all times by our medical team. Our team also provide expert psychological care for all clients to ensure there is full emotional and psychological treatment for each individual during their stay at our clinics. Our primary objective for all our clients is to ensure that they remain stable throughout their detox programme. We evaluate each client’s detox symptoms and side effects on a daily basis.
What information will I need to provide about my drug abuse?
All we ask from our clients is that they are totally honest with us about their drug abuse, so that we can provide the most appropriate and effective care. We are not here to judge anyone – we just need to know the facts. In order to devise the most appropriate programme and ongoing care for each individual, we will require information about what combination of drugs and / or alcohol have been used, over what period of time, and if there are any significant changes in the amounts that have been taken. We also seek to understand the psychological reasons for drug abuse, so that we can address these in group work and where required 1-2-1 treatment sessions, providing choices to each client about how they live their life going forward and onto a drug free life post treatment.
Do I need a drug detox clinic?
Most people who abuse drugs will know that they do, if they are able to be totally honest with themselves. Asking for help can be one of hardest things to do but it is the absolutely necessary first step in finding a new way of life. Our inpatient detox clinics provide the level of support required for individuals to understand how they can maintain a drug-free life, from the drug detox right through to the treatment programme. For those who are in doubt, drug abuse can be determined by a number of factors, most commonly by the fact that the individual experiences one or more unpleasant side effects when they attempt to stop using drugs and / or alcohol by themselves. There are also a number of behavioural indicators which point towards drug dependence. If you are in doubt we offer a FREE ASSESSMENT and a tour of any one of our UK detox clinics.
