Drug rehab

Tens of thousands of lives have been reclaimed from the grasp of drug issues in just one year and even though we don’t celebrate the initial admission number, we do celebrate the successful exit numbers. This is why Banbury Lodge is committed to providing the very best drug rehabilitation services in our bespoke, residential facility. It’s time to get reacquainted with yourself again.

What is drug rehab?

Drug rehabilitation is a process designed to help individuals overcome problematic drug use. This is achieved through various interventions, including counselling, behavioural therapy, detox and aftercare support. The goal of rehabilitation treatment is to equip individuals with the tools and strategies they need to achieve and maintain sobriety and to address the underlying causes of problematic drug use. It is a process that requires a great deal of courage and dedication and our team of compassionate professionals is here to support you every step of the way.

When is it time to consider drug rehab?

Deciding whether to seek help for drug issues can be a difficult and deeply personal decision. However, if you are experiencing negative consequences as a result of your drug use, it may be time to consider drug rehabilitation. Here are some examples of situations where drug rehab may be appropriate:

  • You are using drugs to cope with stress or negative emotions
  • You are experiencing legal troubles or have been arrested due to your substance use
  • You are facing problems in your relationships as a result of your drug use
  • Your physical or mental health is suffering due to your substance use
  • You are struggling to maintain obligations such as work or school due to your drug use
  • You have tried to stop using drugs on your own but have been unsuccessful
  • You find yourself using more drugs than you originally intended or feel unable to stop using despite negative consequences

If you are experiencing any of these situations or are concerned about your drug or alcohol use, drug rehabilitation may be a helpful option for you to consider.

How can I avoid relapsing after I finish drug rehab?

Unfortunately, relapse is a common occurrence in recovery but it does not mean you have failed or the treatment has failed. Of course, no one ever wants you to relapse but if it does happen, see it as an opportunity to reassess and modify your own recovery plan. Remember, setbacks can be a part of the journey but it’s important to stay focused on your goals and keep moving forward.

Below we have created advice on how to try your best to avoid relapse:

  • Create a support network: It is important to build and maintain strong relationships with family members, friends and sober peers who understand your journey and can provide encouragement. It might be worth staying in contact with the people you finished drug rehab with in order to share tips and advice on how to stay sober.
  • Attend therapy sessions: It’s important to keep attending sessions therapy or counselling sessions after you finish rehab. Talking with others in the same situation as you, or even venting your emotions to someone who isn’t close to you (such as a counsellor), can do the world of good. You never know; sharing your experiences and triumphs after rehab could be a source of inspiration to others that are listening to you.
  • Exercise regularly: Exercise can be an effective way to reduce stress and anxiety, which are common triggers for relapse. Regular physical activity can improve mood, boost self-esteem and help you stay focused on your goals.
  • Practise the healthy coping mechanisms you learned in rehab: Life will always have difficult moments and it’s how you deal with these moments that could define you as a “user” or a “non-user”. It is important to remember and actively practise the methods that were taught to you during your rehab programme to help you deal with any stressors that may lead to relapse.
  • Get involved in activities: Finding a purpose and meaning in life can be key to maintaining sobriety after rehab. Joining a community group, volunteering, or pursuing a passion can help reinforce positive behaviours and provide a sense of fulfilment.
