The Disease Model of Addiction

The disease model of addiction refers to addiction as a chronic disease.

It suggests that addiction is caused by biological, genetic, environmental, and neurological factors.

This model also suggests that those with addiction cannot overcome their issues until they receive professional treatment through a residential or outpatient programme.

Referring to addiction as a disease helps to remove the stigma from those with substance use disorders as it relates to scientific causes of addiction beyond an individual’s control.

This further exemplifies that addiction is not a choice.

Whilst the disease model of addiction is widely followed, there are criticisms.

Many addiction specialists disagree with the label of addict and believe it adds to the stigma surrounding addiction.

The label of addict merely reduces someone with substance issues down to factors often beyond their control.

What Is A Dual Diagnosis?

Dual diagnosis is the official term given to patients who display signs of both a mental illness and substance use disorder.

These conditions occur together very often, meaning they can worsen each other if professional help is not sought.

You will have a psychiatric assessment by a psychiatrist to determine whether you need psychiatric treatment.

Mental illnesses can include:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Schizophrenia
• Bipolar Disorder
• Borderline personality disorder
• Eating disorders
• Obsessive compulsive disorder
• Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

One of the many benefits of private rehab is that dual diagnosis treatment is provided.

Sadly, the NHS very rarely provides support for both mental health and addiction, meaning many people find it incredibly difficult to become or stay sober.

Dual diagnosis treatment is individualised to each client, ensuring they receive bespoke care at all times.

The Abstinence Approach To Drug Alcohol Rehab Eastbourne

Experts have agreed that abstinence is far more effective than harm reduction or moderation management – as a result, that’s what rehabs focus on.

Abstinence means not engaging in or consuming any substances.

This approach is widely adopted by rehab clinics across the UK as it encourages recovery and sobriety to be maintained.

The abstinence approach (as well as believing in a higher power) was founded by Alcoholics Anonymous, and therefore has been associated with addiction recovery for a very long time.

Some addiction specialists use motivational interviewing to encourage moderation of consumption, this is largely used for alcohol.

Addiction to illicit substances can cause individuals to face major legal issues and relapses, therefore total abstinence is encouraged in these instances.

At residential facilities, abstinence is largely encouraged after a detox period as it can ensure clients don’t partake in substance abuse again.

With the addition of milestone achievements, abstinence approaches can provide encouragement and motivation every step of the way.

Private Rehab VS Council-Funded Rehab Treatment In Eastbourne or Near Eastbourne

Whilst there are many great benefits to private rehab, you may be wondering about the benefits of free treatment, like that provided by the NHS.

NHS treatment is free of charge which makes it is the first choice for many patients. However, as mentioned previously, NHS programmes often lack support.

For example, mental health treatment programmes cannot commence until patients are completely sober.

For those with a dual diagnosis, this can be very difficult.

The admissions process is also very lengthy, meaning individuals who require immediate support are left on waiting lists for sometimes years.

For those with serious substance use disorders, waitlists can be fatal.

It is for these reasons and more that we advocate for private residential treatment to be sought by our clients.

Though the downside with this form of treatment is usually the cost, many clinics offer payment plans and accept medical insurance to help make recovery as accessible as possible.

What Is The DSM-5?

The DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition) is a manual assessment for the diagnosis of mental disorders, including substance use disorder.

It is widely used by psychiatrists in the addiction field.

The DSM-5 contains 11 criteria with which patients must partly or fully identify in order to receive a diagnosis.

The criteria are as follows:

1. Taking the substance in larger amounts or for longer than you’re meant to.
2. Wanting to cut down or stop using the substance but not managing to.
3. Spending a lot of time getting, using, or recovering from use of the substance.
4. Cravings and urges to use the substance.
5. Not managing to do what you should at work home, or school because of substance use.
6. Continuing to use, even when it causes problems in relationships.
7. Giving up important social, occupational or recreational activities because of substance use.
8. Using substances again and again, even when it puts you in danger.
9. Continuing to use, even when you know you have a physical or psychological problem that could have been caused or made worse by the substance.
10. Needing more of the substance to get the effect you want (a high tolerance).
11. Development of withdrawal symptoms, which can be relieved by taking more of the substance.

To effectively diagnose patients, the DSM-5 refers to 3 levels of severity.

Those who identify with 2 to 3 of the above criteria show signs of a mild substance use disorder (SUD), those who identify with 4 to 5 of the criteria show signs of a moderate SUD and those who identify with 6 or more of the criteria show signs of a severe SUD/addiction.

What Are My Other Options For Alcohol Or Drug Addiction Treatment In Rehab?

• Outpatient treatment and home detoxes: These are also offered through a rehab clinic of your choice and mean that you can live at home during treatment. These programmes can be very beneficial to those with work or family commitments.

Dimension 1: Acute Intoxication and Withdrawal Potential

The first dimension explores the client’s past and their experiences with substance use. It also includes experiences with withdrawal.

The sixth, and final, dimension explores the client’s recovery and living situation.

AUDIT

The AUDIT is used to diagnose those with alcohol use disorders.

It is made up of 10 questions with each question scored from 0-4.

The higher the score of the AUDIT, the more severe the alcohol use consumption.

The 10 questions of the AUDIT are:

1. How often do you have a drink containing alcohol?
2. How many units of alcohol do you drink on a typical day when you are drinking?
3. How often have you had 6 or more units if female or 8 or more if male on a single occasion in the last year?

5. How often during the last year have you failed to do what was normally expected from you because of your drinking?
6. How often during the last year have you needed an alcoholic drink in the morning to get yourself going after a heavy drinking session?
7. How often during the last year have you had a feeling of guilt or remorse after drinking?
8. How often during the last year have you been unable to remember what happened the night before because you had been drinking?
9. Have you or somebody else been injured as a result of your drinking?
10. Has a relative, friend, doctor or other health worker been concerned about your drinking or suggested that you cut down?

Holding A Professional Intervention In Eastbourne

An intervention is a planned conversation that aims to help a loved one understand the extent of their substance consumption and help them into treatment.

Professional interventions aim to motivate individuals to seek help for their alcohol or drug misuse.

By hiring a professional interventionist, families can work together and help their loved one accept support.

Helping someone you love through addiction can be very tough.

A professional interventionist can help to provide support to you during this challenging time.

Interventionists will speak with you and your family to see if a classic intervention will be worthwhile.

If they deem it not likely to be effective, they will talk through other approaches with you such as the CRAFT method.

What Is A Detox?

When someone is addicted to alcohol or particular drugs, they will need to complete a detox programme to remove all toxins from the body.

A detox programme is often the first step in many clients’ recovery journey.

At a residential clinic, this process is medically overseen meaning staff are on hand to monitor your progress at all times.

Whilst an alcohol or drug detox can be challenging, it is important to remember it is temporary and can help to pave the way for your newfound sobriety.

The purpose of a detox is to remove all traces of substances from the body.

From here, therapy can begin to tackle the emotional impacts of addiction.

If, for example, alcohol addiction is not treated, you may begin to experience alcohol withdrawal symptoms, which can be fatal.

Alcohol addiction needs a medically-assisted detox using Chlordiazepoxide (brand name Librium) in order to ease alcohol withdrawal symptoms or alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

Without rehab, alcohol addiction can result in delirium tremens, seizures or Wernicke encephalopathy.

Residential facilities can provide excellent support for individuals facing this and avoid any further complications.

Self-Detox in or near Eastbourne

At Rehab Recovery we do not advise individuals to complete self-detoxes.

Self-detoxes, whilst they might seem ideal, but can be very detrimental to your health.

They involve individuals attempting to cut all consumption at home without any medical advice.

Self-detoxes can cause irreversible damage to your health and even death.

Whether or not you need to complete a detox programme will depend on the substance you are addicted to.

Substances such as heroin and alcohol will require a detox, but cocaine and cannabis usually do not as they are only psychologically addictive.

To make sure that your drug or alcohol detox is carried out in a powerful and effective manner, give our team a call today on 0800 088 66 86

How Long Does Drug And Alcohol Rehab In Eastbourne Last?

Most clients opt for a 28 to 30-day stay in rehab, as this allows them to make significant changes without having to make major lifestyle shifts such as moving home or leaving a job.

Month-long stays are often encouraged for those with mild to moderate addictions.

They provide enough time to end physical dependencies through detox programmes and to begin therapy.

Those with severe addictions often invest in long term stays, which can range anywhere from 6 to 12 months if necessary.

Single detox programmes usually last between 7-10 days, or longer if staff deem it necessary.

The total length of your programme will depend on your individual circumstances.

At Rehab Recovery, we provide assistance for anyone invested in recovery, no matter the situation they are facing.
