Addiction Detoxification Advice & Services

Detoxing from alcohol or drugs should only be carried out under medical supervision.

Not only will it be unnecessarily uncomfortable if you try it without medical advice, but you are also at risk of serious life-threatening side effects such as seizures or delirium tremens.

Rehab Guide can organise detoxification programs in treatment centres or at your own home.

Drug & Alcohol Detoxes in Dundee

A medically supervised detoxification is carried out by a doctor who will assess your health and prescribe a controlled prescription designed to help with the following:

  • Designed to ease withdrawal symptoms
  • Helps with physical recovery through sleep, relaxation and digestion medication
  • Ensures alcohol or drug withdrawal seizures do not occur

Alcohol withdrawal medication is prescribed to patients by a doctor. The alcohol or drug withdrawal prescription will consist of:

  • a sedative that eases the distress of withdrawal.
  • A muscle relaxant and a ‘hypnotic’, which means it induces sleep which makes the alcohol withdrawal much more comfortable.
  • An anxiolytic, which means it helps with anxiety.
  • An anti-convulsant, an anti-seizure drug.

Dealing with a drug or alcohol addiction is an individual experience, and you or a loved one might prefer a drug or alcohol rehab treatment centre near Dundee. This will ensure your family and support network are close by.

Choosing the right treatment options and facilities is very important to the addiction recovery process.

Why you should seek alcohol rehab Dundee.

The drug and alcohol rehabs in Dundee and around Scotland which we recommend offer an array of different treatments to help you battle addiction. Here is a list of what’s involved in a holistic approach to rehab:

  • CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy)
  • Diagnosis of addiction issues
  • Holistic treatments
  • One-to-one counselling
  • Aftercare support

At the heart of rehab is the treatment you will receive. Detox is a way to open the door but in order to walk through and stay in long-term recovery, therapy is necessary.

Recent findings in the Journal of Addictive Diseases have suggested that one of the most prominent factors in recovering from drug and alcohol addiction long term is psychological therapy and counselling.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

CBT therapy is a psychosocial therapy aiming to improve mental health.

The main aim of CBT is to challenge unhelpful thoughts that lead you to drink alcohol or use drugs.

“CBT is a “problem-focused” and “action-orientated” therapy with a high success rate.”

This type of addiction treatment will help identify and manage thoughts, beliefs and attitudes.

DBT (Dialectic Behaviour Therapy)

An approach that takes some of the ideas of CBT but also considers mental health concerns that may be contributing to an addiction.

Where CBT addresses what you do as an addicted person and how to change behaviour patterns, DBT looks at trauma and undiagnosed mental health conditions that may be motivating this behaviour.

Family Therapy

Drug and alcohol addiction can have a profound effect on those around you, family and friends.

Stress and instability caused by substance abuse can strain even the most loving family. This works in both directions too, family members often contribute to addiction by enabling and covering it up. It is well worth addressing these issues as studies show that children of addicted people are 8 times more likely to develop an addiction themselves.

Group Therapy

Rehab offers your first experience of group rehab therapy which I one of the most utilised and proven methods of sustained recovery.

Working together with others in a similar position gives you a safe space to try out what you have learned in CBT and family therapy. It also gives you a boost of positivity in helping others which have been shown to improve serotonin levels and our self-worth.
