Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Ormskirk

In fact, recent studies carried out by Lancashire Council have found that there are currently approximately 9 opiates and cocaine users per 1,000 people living in Lancashire aged between 15 and 64 years old [1].

This is very much in line with the national average, which is currently set at 8.9 [1].

When it comes to areas across Lancashire with the highest levels of alcohol and drug abuse, Blackburn, Darwen and Blackpool have the highest rates of cocaine and crack abuse [1].

Studies looking into drug treatment across Ormskirk and Lancashire show that only 5.7% of all opiate users living in the area completed a treatment programme in 2020 [1.

However, numerous studies have now found that these statistics are decreasing and are set to get worse in the coming years [1].

Unfortunately, a number of people die from drug and alcohol abuse in Ormskirk and the rest of Lancashire each year.

In fact, rates of deaths caused by alcohol abuse in Lancashire are in line with the national average.

However, Blackburn, Darwen and Blackpool had significantly higher rates of drug-related deaths than anywhere else in Lancashire, including Ormskirk [1].

Hospital admissions for drug and alcohol-related issues across Lancashire are also high. Across 2017, 2018 and 2020, approximately 365 people were admitted to the hospital with a drug or alcohol-related issue (aged between 15 and 24 years old.)

This is currently in line with the national average.

However, once again, areas such as Blackpool, Blackburn and Darwen have significantly higher stand-alone rates than the rest of the country [1].

When it comes to children and drug and alcohol abuse living in Ormskirk and the rest of Lancashire, 1.1% of all 15-year-olds who were included in a study admitted to having taken a drug at some point during the past 30 days [1].

This figure was consistent throughout most of Lancashire but increased to 1.5% in Blackpool [1].

Further studies carried out by the National Drug Treatment Monitoring System found that between 2021 and 2022, approximately 211 children (aged under 18) were admitted into treatment for a drug addiction, which does not include alcohol [2].

As you can see, these statistics are shocking and increasingly worrying. Clearly, if you are someone who is suffering from an addiction issue in the Ormskirk or Lancashire area, then you are not the only one.

There are lots of different treatment options available to you in the Ormskirk and Lancashire areas, including the chance to attend inpatient and outpatient rehab treatment.

How severe is your drug and alcohol addiction?

Unfortunately, it’s difficult to detect whether or not someone is suffering from an addiction issue.

Likewise, it is difficult for those suffering from a drug or alcohol addiction issue to admit that they are suffering from an addiction and will need help.

There are a few different symptoms that are noticeable when someone suffers from a drug or alcohol addiction.

These signs and symptoms are listed below and can be used to assess whether or not you think someone close to you is suffering from a drug and alcohol addiction [3]:

• Struggling to stop consuming the addictive substance, even if they seem like they want to stop at times
• A significantly increased tolerance to the addictive substance in question
• Withdrawal symptoms when they stop consuming the addictive substance
• Bloodshot eyes
• Struggling to keep up with basic hygiene
• Arguing with loved ones on a regular basis
• Taking part in risky behaviour, such as unsafe sex or using dirty needles to inject the drugs into your body
• Experiencing mental health issues, such as depression as a result of your drug use
• Stealing in order to afford to abuse drugs or alcohol
• Abusing the substance on your own
• Getting fired at work as a result of their alcohol or drug use
• Experiencing mood swings or a personality shift
• Struggling to maintain and keep up on your commitments, such as attending work or looking after children

There are three different severity levels when it comes to addiction, which will be based on your symptoms.

If you suffer from a number of different symptoms and have been suffering from an addiction for many years, then you might be categorised as struggling with a severe addiction.

Likewise, if you suffer from a physically addictive drug and are physically dependent on the substance, then you will be deemed as suffering from a severe addiction issue.

If you suffer from an addiction which has started to take control of your life and has started impacting your work, relationships and day-to-day life then it will be deemed as a moderate addiction.

Others simply suffer from a mild addiction. This could occur at the very start of your excessive use, or if you only have one or two symptoms.

Likewise, those who are not physically addicted to a substance might be deemed to have a mild substance use disorder.

Regardless of how severe your drug and alcohol addiction is, it is never too late to seek help for your addiction issues. Whether you are suffering from a severe, mild or moderate addiction, there will always be treatment plans available to you.

If you suffer from a severe addiction, then it will be recommended that you attend an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Ormskirk or throughout the rest of the UK.

If you suffer from a mild addiction to drugs or alcohol, then it might be suggested that you attend outpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Ormskirk or attend a home detox.

If you recognise any of the above signs and symptoms in someone you know or love, or even in yourself, then it is time to get help. You can talk to our team for free by calling us at Rehab Recovery.

How does drug and alcohol rehab in Ormskirk work?

Drug and alcohol rehab is a tried and tested way of recovering from a drug or alcohol addiction. There are numerous centres for drug and alcohol rehab in Ormskirk, which are able to offer a range of treatment options to treat numerous types of addictions.

Drug and alcohol rehab in Ormskirk works by offering individuals a range of different treatment options, including a detox and therapy.

Rehab is also a safe place for people to go to if they need someone calm and monitored to detox and relax. Unfortunately, it is incredibly difficult for people to recover at home, surrounded by family, friends and any external pressures or influences.

The detox is the most important part of your recovery process, as you are unable to recover fully without being fully independent and not reliant at all on the addictive substance. This means that you will need to withdraw from taking the substance so that your body gets the chance to overcome its physical need for the substance.

Once your body is no longer addicted to the substances you are addicted to, time will then be spent focusing on the mental and psychological side of your addiction.

This means that you will need to undergo therapy, which is another crucial part of your recovery journey.

Most people who suffer from addictions started abusing drugs or alcohol in the first place due to some form of trauma or mental health crisis. This could have happened to you as an adult or as a child.

The therapy that you receive within drug and alcohol rehab in Ormskirk will aim to overcome these psychological issues. It will also try to provide you with the skills and techniques on how to avoid mental health issues in the future.

Likewise, drug and alcohol rehab in Ormskirk works so well by providing people with aftercare and relapse prevention plans.

Unfortunately, a high proportion of people who attend and leave drug and alcohol rehab in Ormskirk go on to relapse within just weeks or months of leaving the rehab centre.

That is why every centre for drug and alcohol rehab in Ormskirk and throughout the rest of the UK offers a personalised relapse prevention plan.

This plan will be crucial to your long-term recovery and should be used on a regular basis to aid your treatment and your recovery.
