Signs To Show You Are In Need Of Drug Rehab

• Fixation
• One of the most obvious signs which may only be
  obvious to you at the start of your addiction is
  that you spend all your time thinking about your
  next fix. This is a classic sign that you are
  addicted and can often lead to feelings of
  paranoia or anxiety when you start to think about
  not getting your next hit.
• Failure To Quit
• If you have realized that you may have a problem
  and have tried, unsuccessfully, to quit then you
  need drug rehab. It is very difficult to beat a
  drug addiction by yourself. It involves more than
  just stopping your intake of the drug there are
  many environmental factors which will influence
  your success or failure.
• Hygiene Issues
• The more you become fixated on the drug the less
  you will think about other things. This includes
  the basic washing and even changing your clothes.
  You may not notice that your hygiene is suffering
  but your family and loved ones certainly will and
  will probably tell you often.

• Problems At Work
• Just as your hygiene will start to suffer so will
  your performance at work. Even the best boss in
  the world will get tired of your excuses and the
  way n which you lose focus. This is because you
  are starting to live in your own world, one which
  revolves round the drug and nothing else.
• At this stage you are reaching the end of your
  opportunity to put yourself into drug rehab the
  deeper you get into your drug addiction the less
  you will be able or willing to see or admit the
  problem exists. Many drug addicts end up losing
  good jobs.
• Lying About The Issue
• It is very common for people to lie when asked
  directly about whether they have a drug problem.
  This is because you still know that it is an
  issue which is causing you problems but you dont
  want to admit it.
• If you find that you have lied about your drug
  taking at any point then you almost certainly
  have an issue and need a drug rehab clinic.

5 Step Process Used By Drug Rehab Clinics

• Intake
• The first step involves visiting a drug rehab
  clinic to find out if it is the right one for
  your needs. You must feel comfortable with the
  staff at the facility and the procedures it uses.
• It is essential to understand that addiction
  affects your brain as well as your behavior and
  the earlier you treat it the more likely it is to
  be successful. But, for it to be effective you
  must want to enter drug rehab and for it to
  succeed.
• Detox
• Once you have been admitted you will go through
  the detox phase. This is administered within the
  clinic and involves complete withdrawal from the
  addictive drug. Many facilities will provide you
  with an alternative to help reduce the pain and
  side effects associated with withdrawal.
• During this stage you are likely to experience
  fatigue, depression, sweating, diarrhea and
  headaches. The staff will be on hand to help you
  through each part of the process.

• Individual Therapy
• Once you are clean and do not have any of the
  drug in your system you will start individual
  therapy sessions. This is an opportunity for the
  counselor to find out what has led you down the
  path to drug addiction and how you can avoid
  repeating the same mistakes in the future.
• Your individual therapy sessions will centre on
  you and how you can use your time. The busier you
  are the less time you will have to think about
  drugs.
• Group Therapy
• Group therapy is usually completed alongside the
  individual therapy. This is the time when you can
  hear about other peoples experience. The idea is
  to make sure that you know you are not alone.
  These people can beat their addiction and with
  their support you can too!
• Aftercare
• Perhaps the most important stage of the treatment
  is actually the aftercare. This is the time when
  you return to your old life and all the
  temptations will resurface. During this stage you
  will need the support of your family and the
  staff at your drug rehab clinic.

How To Choose The Right Drug Rehab Clinic

• Location
• It is generally advisable to select a clinic near
  your home, or the home of your family. This will
  make it much easier for them to offer the support
  you need.
• Fees
• You must be sure to verify what is included in
  the charge and what extras cost the one that
  looks the cheapest might not actually be when all
  costs are added in.
• Reputation
• It is important to look at the reputation of a
  drug rehab clinic. This means speaking to people
  who have been there regarding their experience.
• Success Rate
• The higher the success rate the better. But, you
  must also look at the relapse rate if this is
  high then the initial success rate is not as
  impressive as it might look.
• Staff
• It is important to feel comfortable with them and
  able to chat to them freely and honestly. If you
  cant do this then the clinic may struggle to
  provide you with effective treatment.
