Your Comprehensive Guide To Overcoming Varied Addictions
People suffering from drug or alcohol addiction are categorised as having a Substance Use Disorder (SUD). This is a neuropsychological and chronic disorder and people undergoing it experience urges to keep using substances like alcohol and drugs excessively. Such individuals become anxious/paranoid more often and depend on substances to the point that it hampers various aspects of their lives. Amongst moderate to severe symptoms of SUD, addiction is considered the most severe. Individuals having this disorder could also have other mental disorders at the same time. Their emotional state becomes an imbalanced one, and the symptoms of withdrawal can have serious effects on their physiological state as well. We, at Calida Multi-location Rehab Centre, understand the value of offering a helping hand to those battling addictions. We have several addiction recovery strategies and an addiction rehabilitation program to support those who need it.
Understanding Addiction:
Addiction clouds the mind of the individual and makes them seek reprieve by using substances like alcohol or drugs excessively, despite the harmful circumstances. It takes a huge toll on a person’s well-being, their health, and their ability to function in social situations. Excessive substance use can cause long-lasting changes in an individual’s brain, like affecting their reactions to stress, and executive function. At a point, consumption of alcohol or drugs would be replaced with a feeling of being rewarded, influencing their mood and self-awareness as well. People battling addictions have an intense urge to consume substances and lack the ability to control these urges. A majorly affected aspect is their work life. For example, unemployment is the cause of stress for many people, making them turn to substances as a coping mechanism, which ends up affecting their ability to work. This cycle seems endless and the person will have a difficult time getting out of this cycle without the right resources or support. If you or your loved one is undergoing addiction, we are here to help you. At Calida Rehab Centre, we have several addiction treatments created to aid you on the path to reclaiming your life and finding freedom from SUD.
Psychotherapy:
Psychotherapy is a comprehensive addiction treatment and is used as an umbrella term for many varied therapies. Identifying what triggers a person and keeping them away from them is key to helping an individual avoid relapsing. These triggers can include thoughts, actions, and situations. Within psychotherapy, an individual is taught how to find healthy coping mechanisms and how to build resistance against harmful urges to abuse substances. Our therapists work with patients to identify early warning signs of a relapse and equip them with the tools and strategies necessary.
Our treatment approach:
At Calida Rehab, detoxification marks the beginning of the addiction treatment process. We carefully manage withdrawal symptoms with personalised medications. A supportive environment is created to ensure a smooth recovery. Motivational Enhancement Therapy is a part of the maintenance stage and nurtures the progress of the individual. It helps reinforce commitment and fortify the mental state, while personalised interventions enrich the overall well-being of the patient.
Additional Support:
We offer continued additional support beyond the primary treatments like post-treatment care, and outpatient services. Our alcohol and drug addiction treatment plan, being comprehensive in nature, consists of various other therapies (like CBT), family involvement, and AA meetings.
Conclusion:
There is no fast or easy way to help someone undergoing addiction. Their mental state is drastically affected and they might face difficulties in reaching out for assistance. While we can be patient with them, and offer support in the ways we know, it is essential to get them the help they need. Rehabilitation is key to ensuring addiction patients are given the resources needed to rediscover a life of control and free from harmful and obsessive urges.
