Signs To Show You Are In Need Of Drug Rehab
  • Fixation
  • One of the most obvious signs which may only be
    obvious to you at the start of your addiction is
    that you spend all your time thinking about your
    next fix. This is a classic sign that you are
    addicted and can often lead to feelings of
    paranoia or anxiety when you start to think about
    not getting your next hit.
  • Failure To Quit
  • If you have realized that you may have a problem
    and have tried, unsuccessfully, to quit then you
    need drug rehab. It is very difficult to beat a
    drug addiction by yourself. It involves more than
    just stopping your intake of the drug there are
    many environmental factors which will influence
    your success or failure.
  • Hygiene Issues
  • The more you become fixated on the drug the less
    you will think about other things. This includes
    the basic washing and even changing your clothes.
    You may not notice that your hygiene is suffering
    but your family and loved ones certainly will and
    will probably tell you often.

(cont.)
  • Problems At Work
  • Just as your hygiene will start to suffer so will
    your performance at work. Even the best boss in
    the world will get tired of your excuses and the
    way n which you lose focus. This is because you
    are starting to live in your own world, one which
    revolves round the drug and nothing else.
  • At this stage you are reaching the end of your
    opportunity to put yourself into drug rehab the
    deeper you get into your drug addiction the less
    you will be able or willing to see or admit the
    problem exists. Many drug addicts end up losing
    good jobs.
  • Lying About The Issue
  • It is very common for people to lie when asked
    directly about whether they have a drug problem.
    This is because you still know that it is an
    issue which is causing you problems but you dont
    want to admit it.
  • If you find that you have lied about your drug
    taking at any point then you almost certainly
    have an issue and need a drug rehab clinic.

5 Step Process Used By Drug Rehab Clinics
  • Intake
  • The first step involves visiting a drug rehab
    clinic to find out if it is the right one for
    your needs. You must feel comfortable with the
    staff at the facility and the procedures it uses.
  • It is essential to understand that addiction
    affects your brain as well as your behavior and
    the earlier you treat it the more likely it is to
    be successful. But, for it to be effective you
    must want to enter drug rehab and for it to
    succeed.
  • Detox
  • Once you have been admitted you will go through
    the detox phase. This is administered within the
    clinic and involves complete withdrawal from the
    addictive drug. Many facilities will provide you
    with an alternative to help reduce the pain and
    side effects associated with withdrawal.
  • During this stage you are likely to experience
    fatigue, depression, sweating, diarrhea and
    headaches. The staff will be on hand to help you
    through each part of the process.

  • Individual Therapy
  • Once you are clean and do not have any of the
    drug in your system you will start individual
    therapy sessions. This is an opportunity for the
    counselor to find out what has led you down the
    path to drug addiction and how you can avoid
    repeating the same mistakes in the future.
  • Your individual therapy sessions will centre on
    you and how you can use your time. The busier you
    are the less time you will have to think about
    drugs.
  • Group Therapy
  • Group therapy is usually completed alongside the
    individual therapy. This is the time when you can
    hear about other peoples experience. The idea is
    to make sure that you know you are not alone.
    These people can beat their addiction and with
    their support you can too!
  • Aftercare
  • Perhaps the most important stage of the treatment
    is actually the aftercare. This is the time when
    you return to your old life and all the
    temptations will resurface. During this stage you
    will need the support of your family and the
    staff at your drug rehab clinic.

How To Choose The Right Drug Rehab Clinic
  • Location
  • It is generally advisable to select a clinic near
    your home, or the home of your family. This will
    make it much easier for them to offer the support
    you need.
  • Fees
  • You must be sure to verify what is included in
    the charge and what extras cost the one that
    looks the cheapest might not actually be when all
    costs are added in.
  • Reputation
  • It is important to look at the reputation of a
    drug rehab clinic. This means speaking to people
    who have been there regarding their experience.
  • Success Rate
  • The higher the success rate the better. But, you
    must also look at the relapse rate if this is
    high then the initial success rate is not as
    impressive as it might look.
  • Staff
  • It is important to feel comfortable with them and
    able to chat to them freely and honestly. If you
    cant do this then the clinic may struggle to
    provide you with effective treatment.
