However, a staggering number of people in the U.S. struggle with the same condition.

• As  per the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 19.7 million  adults in  the U.S. battled SUD in 2017 (individuals who are aged 12 and  older).
• About 74% of those adults struggled with an alcohol use disorder (AUD) in 2017.
• About 38% of adults battled an illegal drug use disease in 2017.
• One out of every eight adults had both SUD and AUD in the same year.
• 5 million adults in the U.S. had both SUD and mental health disorders or co-occurring disorders in 2019.
• Drug addiction causes the U.S. a $740 billion annual loss.

When you arrive at our alcohol rehab centre you will be assessed by our medical professionals. Your safety is our top priority and we want you to feel as comfortable as possible during your early days at our centre. We will look to review any medication you are currently taking, alongside any other substances you may be struggling with.

With opiates and benzodiazepines, you become dependent on having the substance in your body to function normally. This is called physical dependence. Most drugs cause uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms when you stop, but with these drugs, you’d be at risk during the detoxification process if you weren’t medically supervised. Medication helps to ease the worst of your symptoms, and we gradually ease you off the medication as your body gets used to not having the substance.

Psychotherapy

You’ll  take part in a mixture of group and individual therapies. These therapy  sessions are chosen based on your specific requirements. They will help  you to calm down and relax without the need for drugs.

CBT is a talking therapy that has proven to be very useful in helping to  address the emotional and mental aspects of compulsive behaviour and  certain mental illnesses. You work together with the therapist to  achieve a set of predetermined goals that help you to think clearer and   in a way that allows you to take control of your behaviour.

DBT is a highly specialized form of therapy that we offer to some patients. It was originally devised to treat borderline personality disorder, which is characterized by strongly entrenched negative self-beliefs. DBT proved to be most helpful in preventing recurring suicidal thoughts that are often present in that illness. Recent practice has shown this  method can be extremely helpful if you’ve  suffered from repeated relapses and are struggling to find a suitable treatment.
