Brace yourself for warts and all answers, to the toughest questions about overcoming addiction near Llanishen.

Let's dive in.

Will Rehab Do Any Good?

Residential rehab treatment clinics for alcoholism and drug addiction can and do help, *if* you take an active part, and don't remain passive, or expect everything to be done for you.

For those suffering from addiction, detox followed by a well-managed stay in a rehab centre is the way forward in to recovery. Although, you will need to actively apply yourself to the rehab process.

 

Reclaiming responsibility for yourself is necessary to recovery, as it is likely that lack of this is what forms the basis of addiction in the first place.

Rehab near Llanishen should not be considered a permanent "cure" that can fix all drug problems in your life immediately.

The addictive process takes many years to establish itself, so it will likely take a long time, and patience, to resolve it.

All this requires patience, persistence, and constructive engagement.

The first step on this path is residential rehab.

 

What Should I Expect, From Inpatient Rehab Llanishen?

Usually, private rehab is a 3-stage overall phase of initial detox, clinical assistance for underlying psychological addiction disorders, followed by aftercare, which includes future help and services.

This is what you should find in the first 7 days of alcohol/drug rehab ...

KEY TAKEAWAY

Usually the first seven days are spent finishing physical detox, sleeping more than usual, and following prescribed drug advice.

Factors which will dictate the length of the initial detox phase will include the degree and length of dependency as well as the individual’s history of addiction.

 

After the first seven days in rehab you should expect the following…

After initial drug detox or alcohol detox is complete, the clinical team will invite you to begin taking part in therapeutic sessions. You may find yourself in individual counselling sessions or in group Behavioural Therapy, which seeks to help you understand the reasons for your addiction.

Usually, residential programmes near Llanishen and the surrounding Cardiff area are multi-faceted, and you’ll be sharing your experiences with the other clients, participating in physical routines and in complementary therapy sessions and mutual aid, and a gradual return to the kind of ordered life that may be regarded as normal for most people.

Rehab Llanishen clinics, in general, will inform their clients of the following day’s activities on the preceding night.

 

In the final seven days in residential addiction treatment, you should expect the following…

In the last 7 days, if not earlier, if your provider includes it, you should be planning out measures for relapse prevention, and aftercare supports.

You’ll be helped, in this way, back towards your life outside residential care and give an opportunity for you to plan supports in advance, for addictive triggers you've identified during treatment.

 

Who Is Likely To Benefit From Rehab?

People who are serious about their long term recovery will benefit from inpatient clinic treatment.

They’ve run the gamut of various ways to quite their addiction but have failed each time, but know that they can quit if only they had the help and support.

Rehab centres are for those ready to do the work involved, but need the help to physically feel better, detox, and get the therapy insights needed to move forward productively.

Inpatient drug or alcohol rehab is for those who are ready to accept responsibility again for their own life, and reap the gains accordingly.

 

What Aspects Of Addiction Treatment Are Now Outdated, That I Should Watch Out For?

- Attempting to detox yourself and stop your addictive patterns of behaviour, even though the appropriate help and support is at hand when you need it most.

- Treatment programmes skewed to the extreme, in favour strictly of only one form of spiritual approach or outlook on recovery. A wider approach to the problem of addiction is now in favour across most rehab clinics, and a big difference is the lack of a strict adherence to religious dogma at the heart of recovery.

- An approach which is doomed to failure at worst will be one which depersonalises individuals as unique.

The essence of alcoholism and drug addiction recovery is in mutual aid, community, and respect for each other as individuals.

What Do I Need To Do To Make Alcohol & Drug Rehabilitation A Success, For Me?

  • Come to terms with the reality that everything you’ve tried up till now has failed to work and that, consequently, you need to find professional help.
  • Realise that you cannot do this by yourself, because you don’t know how to.
  • Accept that by learning from those who have already made the journey through addiction recovery, you will succeed, just as they have.
  • Communicate as effectively as you can with the professional who help you through detox and in the subsequent care planning and therapy.

 

What Are The Things You Should Plan For, In Llanishen Rehab?

Reputable addiction clinics will give you a booking confirmation, including a list of what items to bring to rehab when admitting.

Any good rehab clinic will send you details of everything you’ll need before starting your rehab residency.

 

 

In What 3 Areas Of My Life Should I See Noticeable Change, Following Treatment?

If the underlying work is done, substantial changes could be achieved:

- As long as you’ve accepted what the substance is doing for you, you’ll find that it’s easier to fulfil your need for this in healthier ways, and you should plan for this accordingly.

- By dealing with all of these things, in turn, you should find that you emotional life, the way that you behave and interact with other people will be brighter and more positive, and without the need for your addictive behaviour.

- You’ll find that once the addictive substance is removed, you’ll be letting all the other things in your life, such as work, family and relationships, expand, to fill the void previously occupied by the addictive substance.

For Those Entering Addiction Treatment For The First Time, What Mistakes Do You See Most Often Occurring?

(i) Initial nerves at the thought of withdrawal/detox, ceasing usage, and this fear being so strong that the client will stop treatment before any has even begun.

(ii) The belief that a little success experienced during the early stages of addiction recovery means that we're “cured”.

(iii) The risk of relapsing due to improper preparation for, or misreading of, trigger events which present themselves after rehab treatment has been completed.

What Are The Chances Of Llanishen Residential Rehab Failing?

In the event of a relapse post-treatment, there are several possible causes:

(i) You didn't follow through actively, on your relapse prevention plan, compiled during treatment.

(ii) You underestimated the power of usage triggers to push you back into addiction; this just didn’t sink in during your treatment.

 

quotation mark

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Make yourself less vulnerable to these events by:

(i) Whilst still in treatment, actively engaging in aftercare planning, and actively following through on the supports given, to make sure you stay on track in sobriety.

(ii) Ensuring you prioritise therapy in aftercare, which will provide real support when you need it most. 

We find that people who tend to relapse will have unfortunately neglected these aspects of aftercare.

Do People Without Any Support Network Fail In Long-Term Recovery?

You are among the millions of people in recovery across the world right now, each one with a different quality and history of support.

The facts show that even people lacking in a strong support network find drug/alcohol recovery possible, and so can you.

  • In such cases you'll need to find other means of support which replicate the help that people with supportive family members have.
  • It means that you need to work out the parts of the family support which you don’t have, and reproduce these in alternative ways; it is certainly possible as millions manage it.
  • You need to understand what works for you personally.

 

Is Rehab Different From Alcoholics Anonymous, If So, How?

Even if you've already tried AA, here's how rehab is different...

AA is a great resource to have, but AA and rehab are not the same thing.

Many have used only AA Llanishen in their recovery over the years, and achieved very long-term success.

Some people have said that certain parts of their recovery were missing, having only attended AA over the years.

In hindsight, it may be that the AA meetings, which lack the one-to-one aspect of rehab, failed to fully address the psychological triggers of alcohol addiction.

 

Rehab .v. Mutual Aid
Rehab Clinic
  • Includes supervised detox
  • Individual care planning & therapy input
  • Residential treatment
  • Financial outlay required
Mutual Aid
  • Free/donation based
  • Ongoing help
  • Non-residential
  • No professional supervision or detox
Key Takeaway:

*Both* rehab and mutual aid, such as AA, or SMART recovery, are beneficial, especially when used at different times or for different purposes, in any one person's recovery pathway.

 

People quite often choose to attend the AA group meetings in addition to having completed the residential rehab.

Full and long-term recoveries have been recorded by people who have used both resources, either individually or in conjunction with each other.

Can’t I Just Stick With Alcoholics Anonymous, Or Other Mutual Aid Groups, To Recover?

AA is a great help for anyone in recovery and is often seen as the light at the end of the tunnel.

However, AA cannot provide a structured therapeutic framework in which to address the underlying issues which cause addiction, nor do they offer any clinical support.

 

For this, turn first to a structured residential rehab programme, then later, enjoy the benefits of Alcoholics Anonymous or your chosen mutual aid programme, in Llanishen in the longer term.

Is Ceasing My Addictive Behaviour Without Assistance Useful...Or Dangerous?

Going it alone is rarely the answer, and often, is very dangerous.

Going "cold turkey" is something which we do not recommend on serious medical grounds.

There are the dangers of having seizures and blood pressure issues, with serious risk of heart issues.

**You should NEVER consider putting yourself through detox or cold-turkey alone**.

 

What If I Can't Afford It?

Another option can be available to you if the full alcohol/substance misuse rehab programme isn’t realistic right now.

Several clinics now provide an option which is detox only, though this isn’t usually publicised.

However, the success rates for these shorter courses can be lower than with the longer more established programmes.

 

Standard residential rehab usually takes 28 days in full. But here is what to consider if money is short at the moment.

 

Ask about short term detox plans, **but only** if you already have additional emotional supports setup for once detox completes.

...such as a well-organised support plan with a sponsor for your long term recovery.

Experience has shown that there is a risk of not being able to enjoy a full recovery if you don’t make plans for the support required after the short-term detox has completed.

Do Rehab Clinics Provide A Refund Policy?

Each clinic will operate their own refund policies, so ask before your course begins.

Any refunds given are not provided on the basis of a client relapsing, as long term success is a matter of individual responsibility.

How Do I Get Started In Treatment?

  • You need to speak to the clinic you have decided on to begin your therapy and undergo a simple phone assessment; then when your deposit has been paid your stay should begin no more than 48 hours later, in most cases.
