Using The Disease Model of Addiction At Drug & Alcohol Rehab In West Midlands

Addiction is a disease. We follow the Disease Model of Addiction at our drug and alcohol rehab in West Midlands. This means we remove the idea that you have chosen addiction or have failed by using addictive substances.

Instead, we treat your addiction as we would any other health complaint. Without any stigma, shame or blame.

Addiction can be summed up in medical terms as a brain disorder, because it involves functional changes to brain circuits involved in reward, stress, and self-control.‘(1)

Alcohol abuse, drug abuse, gambling addiction and any other form of addiction have been known to alter the very makeup of our brain and how it functions.

In fact, throughout years of addiction, your brain structure, pathways, and chemical makeup will be altered. This creates the cycle of addiction which is what makes addiction so hard to break free from.

Cravings, compulsions, continued substance abuse and being out of control are the four C’s that make up the cycle of addiction.

What Should I Expect From Drug and Alcohol Rehab in West Midlands?

We welcome anyone aged 18 or above to our drug and alcohol rehab in West Midlands. All we need to do to get started is carry out our brief first assessment.

By carrying out this assessment at first contact we can fully understand your addiction, needs and requirements from the offset.

After we have had the time to talk with you and understand your situation we can arrange for you to begin your supervised medical detox.

The medical detox simply means you will detox from drugs or alcohol under the supervision of a medical team, who can prescribe any medication needed to keep you safe.

This process normally takes seven to ten days. After this time, we can expect your body to have detoxed from your substance, meaning it’s no longer present in your system.

After you have successfully detoxed we will move you on to the therapy and counselling portion of your rehab journey.

Call us on 0800 088 66 86 to discuss your needs and arrange your assessment and admittance into our rehab programme in West Midlands.

What to Expect From a Drug or Alcohol Detox in West Midlands?

When you try anything new it’s good to be prepared and fully understand the process ahead of you. We will provide all the details of your rehab when you get in touch with us so you can be fully prepared.

Our rehab in West Midlands is open and running 24 hours a day every day for our rehab patients. It’s staffed by a team of qualified addiction specialists and medics who can support you with medical care and medication to help you deal with any difficult withdrawal symptoms.

We need to carefully manage your detox to ensure your safety throughout. When you have been in a substance addiction for some time your body will be used to functioning with that level of the substance in its system.

When we suddenly remove that substance the body needs to quickly adapt, in the case of alcohol use to now function without the depressant effects of alcohol on the central nervous system.

The sudden change within your body can result in side effects ranging from mild to severe. This is when our medical team can step in to make sure you are safe and as comfortable as possible.

Withdrawal Symptoms During Detox

While withdrawal symptoms are to be expected when withdrawing from a substance addiction you don’t need to suffer unnecessarily. Our team will support you throughout the entirety of the process.

Withdrawing from alcohol will often lead to psychological withdrawal symptoms along with physical withdrawal symptoms. Shaking and sweating are perhaps the most common symptoms but you may also experience:

• Headaches
• Anxiety
• Nausea/vomiting

Some side effects like confusion, fever and fast heart rates can occur and these must be monitored closely. having the immediate support of a medical team is the safest way to withdraw from drugs or alcohol.
