Local Residential Alcohol And Drug Rehab In/around Gloucestershire
There are millions of people around the world today battling addictions to drugs and alcohol. Some are unaware of the long-term effects of addiction, while others are unable to quit on their own. Alcohol and drugs increase the levels of dopamine in your brain, eliciting a feeling of pleasure and euphoria that is usually only short lived.
The long-term effects of addiction include hallucinations, insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, psychosis, liver failure, kidney failure, lung damage, heart attack, brain damage, accelerated ageing and other side effects.

We offer detox, withdrawal medication, therapy, education, skills classes, nutrition therapy, relapse prevention planning, as well as coping skills to maintain recovery after you’re discharged.

How to Choose a Recovery Programme
Specialised treatment: Rehab centres are not designed to treat all addictions. So, look for one that is a good fit for your unique needs. For instance, some facilities cater to the needs of older people (aged 66 years and above), while others target the middle-aged and young people. The right rehab facility improves the effectiveness and outcome of treatment.
Holistic treatment: A holistic approach means that your treatment plan caters to every part of your being, including your mind, body, soul and spirit. Drug counsellors and therapists should incorporate this when designing your treatment plan.
Location: Do you have friends or family members who trigger your addiction? Do you live in an area where drug/alcohol use is normal? If so, going out of town for treatment helps to remove distractions and allows you to fully focus on recovery. If you have a good support system, you’ll benefit more from staying close to home.
Aftercare support: There is more to drug rehabilitation than rehab itself. Aftercare involves all the support services that help you maintain abstinence and continue recovery efforts after rehab. It is hailed by many experts as the most important part of your recovery journey.
