Do I have an addiction?
When people first experiment with drugs and alcohol they never set out with the intent of developing a life-long addiction. No one wants that. It’s a serious and complex illness that’s widely misunderstood and stigmatised.
In truth, for many addictions are unavoidable. Though many people don’t develop them, for those who do they’re incredibly destructive.
People with addictions tend to have experienced traumatic events, mental health issues, other family members with addiction, genetic predispositions, and low self-esteem.
There’s usually a fine line between a person having recreational substance use and problematic. This, along with comparing yourself to others who are “worse”, keeps people in denial of addictive behaviours for many years.
There are signs, though, that makes it clear that drug and alcohol use disorders have developed. These include:
- Craving alcohol or drugs and thinking about them often
- Losing interest in activities other than those that include alcohol and drugs
- Feeling as though you can’t face a day without substances
- Hiding your substance use from others, or lying about it
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you stop using
- Experiencing mental or physical ill health alongside substance use
- Developing a tolerance means you’re increasing how much you’re drinking or taking

What are the benefits of a drug and alcohol rehab in Morley?
A private clinic for drug and alcohol addiction comes with a wide range of benefits.
It’s useful to be aware of these and to make comparisons between clinics to help you choose the right one:
- A supportive environment that is safe and totally substance-free.
- Clinics quite often have specialist areas. Some specialise in 12 Step approaches, some in medical detoxes, others in holistic treatments etc.
- You’ll receive evidence-based treatments that are proven to be effective in treating addiction and the associated thoughts and behaviours. Psychological therapies are essential for developing long-lasting coping mechanisms.
- 24-hour care and an expert team of staff are on-hand to support you when you need it.
- Medically-assisted detoxes for those who have developed physical dependence.
- Aftercare interventions address the risk of relapse and support you to maintain abstinence.
Therapeutic and alternative support at rehab
At rehab, you get a range of effective treatments shown to help people to become sober and to remain so.
Your treatment programme will include some or all of the following:
- Motivational interviewing is where you’ll talk to a therapist about your reservations about quitting alcohol and drugs. It’s also where you’ll say the things you like about substances. It’s from these discussions that you’ll eventually discover why it is that you truly want to quit and recover.
- Dialectical behavioural therapy is for people who struggle to manage their emotions. It’s where you learn to emotionally regulate. This helps minimise cravings when you’re facing difficult circumstances. It’s also useful in helping people who have mental health issues and post-traumatic stress disorders.
- Cognitive behavioural therapy is where you’ll learn how to change your thinking. This is essential in order to change your behaviour. It’s where you’ll develop self-control and useful tools.
- Counselling is where you’ll grow in self-awareness and resilience. The therapist will help you reach a space of deep understanding which will help you to grow positively in the future.
Group sessions and why they’re important in the recovery
Psychosocial interventions are really important in recovery. In them, you learn to adapt yourself and come to a place of deep meaningful change.
As well as the individual therapies above, you’ll take part in group therapies at rehab.
The treatment of alcohol use is notoriously connected with the 12 Steps and drug treatment has long since followed the same route. This is because of how effective group work is at reducing the isolation associated with addiction and how the connection is synonymous with healing.
At rehab, 12 Step and SMART groups take place regularly.
Medical detox at a drug and alcohol rehab in Morley
If you’re heroin or alcohol dependent, then you’ll need to have a medically-assisted detox at rehab. A doctor will assess you and any symptoms you may have.
Withdrawal symptoms include:
- Extreme anxiety
- Insomnia
- Mood swings
- Sickness and diarrhoea
- Shaking and sweating
- Pain in the body and bones (heroin effect)
- Seizures (alcohol effect)
The treatment of alcohol dependence, or heroin addiction requires a seven to fourteen-day detox. Librium is prescribed for alcohol use and Subutex for heroin.
These medications reduce symptoms and keep you safe. The dosage is gradually reduced over fourteen days to the point you’re free of substances.
Rehab aftercare services
On treatment completion at rehab, you’ll move into the aftercare service where relapse prevention is key. You’ll have a plan in place to follow that helps keep you focused on sobriety and guides you on what to do if you’re struggling.
Your relapse prevention plan will include:
- Who to contact if you’re struggling
- What to do if you relapse
- Coping mechanisms and grounding techniques
- Goals to focus on and how to go about achieving them
- A reminder of any ongoing outpatient support
- Alumni group information

The cost of treatment at a drug and alcohol rehab in Morley
Treatment at a drug and alcohol rehab in Morley costs money. You can talk to our team about this to get more clear guidance around costs and how people tend to fund their placement.
Throughout the UK, there are clinics that are budget-friendly and those that offer luxury environments. You can pay anywhere from £1,000 a week to £10,000 a week depending on where you go.
This money covers accommodation, food, any necessary medication, expert therapists and therapeutic resources. Opting for a single-occupancy room also increases the overall cost.
How long would I stay at a residential clinic?
The most beneficial treatment takes time and dedication. It also takes time to break old habits and form new healthy ones. The majority of residents stay at clinics in inpatient care for around 28 days.
There are those, however, who stay much longer. This is especially important for people with complex personal situations or co-occurring mental health conditions.
In some cases, people receive treatment for around three months.
