Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Accrington

Whilst there are a lack of statistics examining drug and alcohol addiction levels in Accrington, there are a lot of statistics examining drug and alcohol abuse across Lancashire.

It’s incredibly important to examine these statistics, so that more preventive work is done and so that individuals suffering from drug and alcohol addictions in the area know that they are not alone.

Unfortunately there are a number of drug addiction sufferers living in Lancashire, and approximately 9 people in every 1,000 living in Lancashire suffer from an opiate addiction.

In Blackburn, Darwen and Blackpool, these statistics are significantly higher. For example, in Blackburn and Darwen, there are approximately 19 people addicted to drugs or every 1,000 people and in Blackpool, this statistic rises to approximately 24 people for every 1,000.

It is also worth looking into statistics surrounding treatment for addiction issues in Accrington.

For example, just over 5% of all opiate users in Lancashire successfully completed their drug and alcohol rehab and did not have to re-attend rehab within 6 months of leaving due to a relapse.

This percentage is much higher than the national average.

Unfortunately, numerous people in Lancashire and Accrington die each year as a result of their alcohol and drug addiction.

The rates are particularly high in areas such as Blackburn, Darwen and Blackpool. In fact, Blackpool has the highest drug and alcohol-related death rates than anywhere else in the UK.

This shows in the number of drug and alcohol-related hospital admissions across Blackpool and the rest of Lancashire.

In fact, Lancashire recorded 365 substance-related hospital admissions across the county, with Blackburn having the highest recorded hospital admissions due to a drug-related issue.

Studies have also been carried out looking into children and drugs and alcohol statistics in the Lancashire area.

In fact, just over 1% of all children living in Lancashire under the age of 15 years old admitted to having taken a drug (that is not cannabis) in the last 30 days.

This figure was slightly higher in Blackpool, but overall averages out to levels in line with the national average.

As you can see, there is still a lot of work to do when it comes to addiction and rehab in Accrington.

If you are someone who’s suffering from a drug and alcohol addiction in Accrington but are too scared to seek help, then rest assured that you are not the only one.

Addiction Can Happen to Anyone

It is incredibly important to understand that addiction can happen to anyone. Naturally, there are certain risk factors that might put someone at more risk of becoming addicted to certain drugs or alcohol.

For example, suffering from a mental health issue or being exposed to certain drugs or substances as a child might put you at more risk of developing an addiction issue.

Unfortunately, once someone starts to experiment with drugs and alcohol it can be incredibly difficult to stop.

Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of people suffer from drug and alcohol addictions each year, so if you are one of them then you are certainly not alone.

It is easy for anyone who abuses drugs and alcohol to become addicted because many of these substances are highly addictive, both physically and mentally.

When you abuse a physically addictive drug, your body will become dependent on the substance very quickly.

Once your body is physically dependent and reliant on a certain substance, your body’s tolerance for the substance will increase.

This means that you will need to consume more of the addictive substance in the future, in order to feel the same effects.

Unfortunately, life doesn’t always work out the way you want it to. Even with a good upbringing and childhood, people can experience mental health issues and trauma at any point during their life.

This could include things like arguments with loved ones, psychological abuse, sexual abuse, peer pressure or becoming severely ill.

Lots of people who go through things like this go on to use drugs and alcohol as a crutch as a way of trying to cope with their traumas.

If you are someone who is struggling from an addiction issue in Accrington, then you should not be ashamed.

You should remember that everyone who suffers from addiction issues usually suffers from them because something bad and unfortunate has happened to them at some point during their life.

What Happens during Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Accrington?

If you are suffering from an addiction and need to attend drug and alcohol rehab in Accrington, then you might be feeling anxious about what rehab is really like.

The first thing that happens when you attend drug and alcohol rehab in Accrington is that you are assessed by the admissions team. This usually involves a whole host of questions so that the doctors and specialist are able to determine how severe your addiction is.

Once the severity of your addiction has been assessed, you will then be placed on a medical detox treatment plan.

This will only happen if your addiction is physical, meaning that you are fully dependent and reliant on the substance.

This detox usually lasts a minimum of 10 days and is the most important part of your recovery.

Recovering from a physical addiction is almost impossible without detoxing, as your body needs to overcome its physical dependence on the substance in order to enter recovery.

During your medical detox, you will experience withdrawal symptoms which will make your withdrawal a lot harder.

This usually lasts at least 10 days, and will range in severity.

Once you have completed your medical detox, you will then enter your treatment plan. This could last a number of weeks and will help you to overcome any mental cravings and other issues you might have that contribute to your addiction.

You will then enter the recovery stage of your treatment, where your doctors and specialist will spend time to go over your aftercare and relapse prevention plan.

This will consist of a range of tips and tricks on how to avoid relapsing from your addiction after you leave the drug and alcohol rehab centre in Accrington.

As you can see, there are four main stages of drug and alcohol rehab in Accrington, including admissions, detox, therapy and aftercare.

If you would like more information on any of the stages of rehab, give our team a call on 0800 088 66 86

What is a Medical Detox and Why is it Necessary to Recover?

As discussed above, the detox stage of your recovery is imperative and should not be overlooked.

Many people believe that in order to recover from your drug or alcohol addiction, then you only have to receive therapy. This is far from the truth.

In order to recover you must first undergo your detox. The rest of your treatment and recovery is only going to be possible if you undergo a detox first.

You must rid your body of any addictive substances, and get back to a healthy state.

During your detox, you will undergo a number of withdrawal symptoms, some of which are listed below:

• Bloodshot eyes
• Feeling like you have the flu
• Stomach aches
• Muscle aches
• Being and feeling physically sick
• The shakes
• Excessive sweating
• Nightmares
• Struggling to sleep
• Hot flushes
• Fever
• Suffering from mental health issues such as depression or anxiety

The likelihood is that if your addiction is severe, then your withdrawal symptoms are most likely going to be severe too.

It takes some people a number of days before they experience these withdrawal symptoms, and for others they can occur within just a few hours into their withdrawal.

Therapy Drug and Alcohol Addiction

As discussed above, therapy is a crucial part of your recovery.

If you are serious about recovering from your drug and alcohol addiction, then you will need to take your therapy seriously as well.

Your therapy sessions will aim to get to the bottom of your addiction issues, including any mental health issues or traumas.

There are many ways to work on these issues, and there are now many different therapy techniques available throughout most drug and alcohol rehab centres in Accrington.

Just some of these therapy techniques are listed below:

• One-to-one therapy
• Family therapy
• Group therapy
• Cognitive behavioural therapy
• Motivational interviewing
• Dialectical behavioural therapy
• Mindfulness
• Holistic therapy (Art therapy, music therapy, acupuncture, mindfulness, etc.)
• Nutritional education
• Acceptance and commitment therapy
• Contingency management

Therapy is also a great way to overcome a dual diagnosis, when a mental health condition exists alongside addiction.

You can get free mental health support from organisations like Mind UK, Young Minds, Rethink Mental Illness, Samaritans and Papyrus.

Aftercare Following Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Accrington

Not only is the time spent in rehab important, but it is also important that people are supported even when they have more autonomy after rehab.

In addition to the various forms of therapy, counselling, and relapse prevention planning which patients will undergo at their drug and alcohol rehab in Accrington, patients will undergo an aftercare programme in order to keep supporting them following their stay at rehab.

Former patients who continue to undergo a long-term recovery plan after leaving rehab are far more likely to maintain their recovery than someone who does not have a long-term plan in place.

Typically, aftercare services personalise their programmes in order to maximise the benefits for former patients. Some of the benefits of an aftercare plan include financial and career guidance, counselling, and more.

Some of the popular support groups which are associated with aftercare programmes are Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous and SMART Recovery,

Attending these support groups will allow patients to share their experiences with others and also gain insight into other people’s experiences through support sessions. Support groups will provide an effective support network and community for former patients.

What is the cost of drug and alcohol rehab in Accrington?

The cost of drug and alcohol addiction treatment differs depending on where you are in the country and how severe your addiction is.

Most people spend at least 28 days in rehab which costs most people around £6,000 if they choose to stay in a private room.

Staying in a shared room might cost you a little less.

Unfortunately, a number of people have to stay in drug and alcohol rehab in Accrington for longer than 28 days. Whilst this is only the case for those with a severe addiction to alcohol, your stay could last up to 90 days.

Naturally, this costs more money and means that some people pay up to £12,000 for treatment.
