Welcome to Substance Rehabilitation

Addiction is often described as an illness, whereby an individual continues to drink, take drugs or act out addictive behaviours despite negative consequences. These negative consequences can be in the form of health, relationships or finances. An individual suffering with addiction has lost control over their behaviour, and through fear will often hide or become dishonest about their problem. This cycle of fear, stigma and misunderstanding can often trap people for years, and it doesn’t have to be this way. With the right understanding and levels of support, addiction is a highly treatable condition. Learn more about the signs of addiction.

A detox is the process of removing substances from the body, which typically induce withdrawal symptoms as the body returns to a normal state of function. The detox process will differ depending on the substance, its length of use and the individual’s tolerance. Detox can also be relevant for behavioural addictions such as Gambling use disorder. When an individual makes the decision to stop gambling, psychological withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety or depression can be witnessed. Detoxing from certain substances such as alcohol, benzodiazepines or opiates can be very difficult, and may require medical attention, so do give us a call if you have any concerns. Learn more about detox.

Rehab, which is short for rehabilitation, helps people get free from a drug or alcohol addiction by teaching them about their addiction and helping them find ways to stop its negative effects on their life. Rehab is typically facilitated within a medical centre (rehab facility) that specialises in the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction, as well as behavioural addictions such as gambling addiction. Rehab offers a safe, comfortable and friendly environment where people can get help and learn to overcome their addictions with the help of therapy. Lean more about rehab.
