Addiction is a complex disease that differs significantly from one person to another. Unfortunately, there is not one single quick cure, however, there are a wide range of treatments available to help individuals manage their addiction and on the road to recovery.
In this article, we’re going to be explaining how Acquiesce can help treat your addiction so you can lead a happier, substance free life.
Addiction Can’t Be Cured But it Can Be Treated
As we just mentioned, there isn’t one fixed cure for addiction as recovery is an ongoing process that must be managed through an individual’s lifetimes, however, it can be managed successfully through effective treatment.
First of all, treatment allows individuals to detox, which is the first step to recovery. The individual must then understand their addiction and can be taught the essential knowledge and tools for an ongoing sustainable recovery.
Addiction Recovery With Acquiesce
Consultation
Addiction treatment at Acquiesce begins with a free, confidential consultation with a Recovery Practitioner in order to establish the individual’s needs and suitability for safe treatment with the service.
Once the correct treatment pathway has been established, all arrangements for a smooth and hassle free admission, including transportation, are made. Acquiesce then provides a safe and therapeutic environment which is conducive to the recovery from drug addiction.
Detox
To begin with, it is crucial for the individual to become substance free in a safe and healthy way.
At Acquiesce, all of our substance addiction treatments start with a detox to ensure the safe removal of substances from your system whilst helping to manage withdrawal symptoms.
The Programme
Our team of experienced professionals then delivers a combination programme of evidence based therapies which address the physical, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of drug addiction.
We utilise holistic therapies, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, 12 Step approaches, social activities and regular fitness sessions and exercise.
Individuals will learn to understand their drug addiction and gain the knowledge and tools for an ongoing sustainable solution and recovery with our urban recovery model.
Our urban recovery model helps you to integrate into the community during your recovery, enabling you to return to everyday life in a safe and manageable way at the end of your treatment.
We do this because many individuals have found that the favourable conditions of rehabs such as manor houses in the countryside help with the initial detox but fail to prepare them for the reality of everyday life once they leave the rehab facility, leading to relapse.
We aim to make the transition as smooth as possible, mitigating the risk of a relapse and increasing your chances of a drug-free life moving forward.
Ongoing Aftercare Support
Upon completion of rehab treatment individuals will have a personal and comprehensive relapse prevention plan and on-going support that is provided as standard.
How Long Does it Take to Recover from an Addiction?
For individuals suffering with an addiction, one of the biggest questions is ‘how long does it take to recover from an addiction?’
Unfortunately, there’s no definitive answer to the question of how long it takes to recover from or overcome an addiction as each individual and their circumstances are different.
As we mentioned earlier, addiction isn’t something which can be cured. Instead, it must be treated and recovery is an ongoing process which you will need to maintain.
For example, it isn’t uncommon for individuals with addictions to go 10+ years sober and then have a relapse.
This is because many individuals believe that becoming substance free once means they will never turn to drugs or alcohol again, or that after a certain period of time, they can have a small drink here and there without it affecting them like it used to. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case.
