Addiction rates are rising across the UK, and sadly West Yorkshire is no exception.
Easy access to drugs and alcohol has made this possible, alongside the prevalent economic and employment uncertainty that many of us have been facing.
This high rate of use also comes with a greater risk of hospitalisation, putting even more strain on the NHS.
Being so popular, it is easy for casual substance use to slip over into addiction, quickly turning into dependence.
However, whilst addiction has grown worse across the county, rehabilitation practises have grown to match them.
Drug-related deaths in West Yorkshire have remained at their highest ever rate as statistics reveal that three people died every two days as a result of drug and alcohol abuse.
If you are searching for drug and alcohol rehab in West Yorkshire, reach out to Rehab 4 Alcoholism today on 0800 111 4108.
It has also been reported that cocaine-related deaths are on the increase, as this becomes the substance of choice for many Yorkshire residents.
Those living in deprived areas are 5 times more likely to die as a result of drug and alcohol consumption.
Addiction is medically recognised as a chronic disease, one that must be treated professionally and continually monitored.
Drugs and alcohol change the functioning of the body and brain.
The disease model of addiction recognises addiction as a compulsive disorder caused by chemical changes in the brain.
These chemical changes are then further induced by continuous drug abuse.
The disease model of addiction intends to dispel inaccurate information that addiction is a conscious decision or choice.
The model mainly focuses on the user’s loss of control.
It also stresses the idea that those with substance abuse problems will fail to halt their consumption until they have access to the appropriate tools and assistance.
Relapse statistics indicate that 40% to 60% of users tend to relapse after attempting to overcome addiction using unsuitable treatment methods.
The disease model for addiction also takes into consideration that factors beyond the user’s control play a huge role in the development of addiction.
The various factors are as follows:
This factor suggests that a person’s unique physiology can contribute in some way to their addiction.
Developments in the understanding of neuroscience have supported the fact that people’s brains vary in their function and impulse control, meaning that whilst one person may find it easy to quit taking drugs, another finds it almost impossible.
This factor suggests that a person’s DNA and gene pool can influence the likelihood of an addiction forming. Due to varying genetic material, some people are much more likely to develop an addiction than others.
This is considered one of the major contributors to the disease of addiction. Things such as childhood trauma, pressure, stress and limited involvement from a caregiver can cause a child or adolescent to consume addictive substances and enter adult life with an addiction.
The disease model also notes that regular exposure to a drug or alcohol desensitises the reward pathway, also known as the mesolimbic pathway, in the brain.
The reward pathway feels everything from motivation, to pleasure and happiness.
When a user takes a substance, the responses in the reward pathway are heightened.
When the drug is no longer taken, the brain craves the substance and the feelings it can provide, thus withdrawal symptoms begin.
Impulse control in the brain is weakened as a result of substance abuse and causes users to crave and relapse.
The disease model of addiction recognises that treating an addiction is possible.
The treatment you will be recommended will focus on your specific needs and goals.
Rehab is most typically recommended to all clients as it is the most effective method of helping users overcome their addiction.
Many people who are clinically diagnosed with a substance use disorder (SUD) are often diagnosed with a mental health disorder.
This is also known as a co-occurring disorder or a dual diagnosis.
Those with a dual diagnosis are advised to undergo treatment to help them treat both their SUD and mental health disorder.
According to the Addiction Centre, 45% of people with addictions face co-occurring mental health disorders.
Often with addiction, many mental health disorders present simultaneously meaning doctors can diagnose them efficiently and help clients access the treatment they deserve.
The most common mental health disorders that present with substance use disorder include:
Dual diagnosis is required as treatment isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach.
What may work to treat a cocaine addiction will not work to help treat depression, for example.
Different treatment methods are available through dual diagnosis programmes at rehab to help clients access suitable care for their mental and physical health.
Many rehab clinics focus on an abstinence-based approach to treatment, whereas others focus their treatment methods on moderation and harm-reduction.
At Rehab 4 Alcoholism, we focus on the abstinence method.
Recovering from a drug or alcohol addiction takes a lot of hard work and determination.
Whilst the idea of total abstinence may seem daunting, it has proven very successful and helps to eliminate all potential triggers or causes of relapse.
Harm reduction and moderation management may sound more manageable or appealing, however, these methods can cause those with severe addictions to relapse, placing their mental and physical health in jeopardy.
Sadly, not every client can drink in moderation or limit their exposure to substances once home from rehab.
Whilst it may seem harsh, abstaining completely whilst inside and outside of rehab can help clients to maintain the skills learnt in treatment and end all ties with substances.
Abstinence-based treatment are the safest approach to treating addiction and is the most commonly used method of treatment across the UK and US.
Abstinence-based treatment providers follow the belief that further substance abuse can only be prevented if users completely avoid substances.
Residential rehab provides many benefits to each client and can help you begin to shape the next chapter of your life, free from any remnants of drugs and alcohol.
Residential treatment allows you to step away from any triggers and negative associations, beginning a programme within a luxury facility.
By allowing yourself the time and space to heal you can make real, long-lasting changes in your life.
Upon admission, each client is assessed and receives a tailored treatment programme to help them achieve their goals whilst in rehab.
This form of treatment allows you to gain access to state-of-the-art facilities and bespoke medical care, with staff on hand 24 hours a day to help you whatever your problem.
Residential treatment also includes aftercare to help you manage any difficulties should they present once you complete your treatment programme.
Public treatment refers to treatment provided by the NHS.
This treatment is free and offered around most areas of the UK, which makes it the first port of call for many potential clients.

However, there are major downsides to this form of treatment as it often takes a long time to access due to lengthy waitlists.
These waitlists are often a result of cuts to government funding, seeing many addiction treatment centres closed down and others becoming overwhelmed with patients.
With this form of treatment, it is important to remember that residential rehab admissions are rarely given to clients.
This can have a serious impact on the health of those with severe addictions.
Private treatment, on the other hand, allows clients to experience swift admission to a facility of their choice, receiving help for their substance use disorder and any co-occurring mental health disorders.
The downside to private treatment is often the price involved.
Whilst some clinics and their treatment programmes can be costly, many private facilities now work with their clients to find treatment programmes suited to any budget.
Some clinics also accept medical insurance and can draw up payment plans making treatment more accessible for all.
Whilst residential treatment can be very beneficial, it is important to note it isn’t for everyone.
Certain factors can contribute to residential treatment not being suitable for some clients, so it is important to understand if this form of treatment is for you before you commit to rehab.
Take a look at the list below, do you identify with any of these situations?
The DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) helps to classify and diagnose mental health disorders, including substance use disorders.
It was originally developed by the American Psychiatric Association and is routinely revised as our understanding of mental health grows.
The DSM includes 11 criteria that a patient must identify with to be diagnosed with a substance use disorder.
These are as follows:
Patients that identify with 2 to 3 of the above criteria are said to exhibit a mild SUD, whilst those who identify with 4 to 5 show a moderate SUD.
Those with 6 or more of the above criteria demonstrate a severe SUD or addiction and would therefore benefit from residential rehabilitation.
Sadly, residential rehab is not for everyone.
Personal commitments relating to your job or family life could stop you from being able to commit, or the cost involved could rule this treatment option out.
It is beneficial to know that there are other forms of treatment available to you, including home detoxes or outpatient treatment.
For more information about possible treatment options and diagnosis, contact our team today.
The truth is that entering into a residential rehab in West Yorkshire is going to be your best option for achieving recovery in the majority of situations.
A private facility will give you access to medically monitored detox that includes keeping track of your withdrawal symptoms.
You also get the benefit of being surrounded by professional addiction treatment staff on a 24/7 basis during your stay.
These factors can make a dramatic difference as you endeavour to work through the issues that have led to your problem with alcohol abuse and addiction.
An Inpatient alcohol rehab in West Yorkshire is the best way to remove yourself from your daily life to focus solely on your recovery.
The length of time that you will need to stay depends on the results of your initial assessment that our trained professionals will conduct.
This assessment is meant to determine the seriousness of your addiction as well as determining your likelihood of suffering from a relapse.
Depending on the outcome of this assessment, your program for alcohol rehab in West Yorkshire could last anywhere from a month to six months in duration.
You need to undergo a program for alcohol rehab that is significant enough in length for you to be able to uncover the underlying issues that have led to your addiction to alcohol.
In all cases, we can offer you a program for alcohol rehab in West Yorkshire that is personalised to your individual needs as a patient.
As stated above, residential rehab doesn’t suit everybody.
Other options available to clients include:
If you are looking for drug and alcohol rehab in West Yorkshire, we first ask you to call our team.
From here, we can begin a thorough pre-admission assessment that allows us to understand more about you.
Our team will ask about any previous diagnosis and co-occurring disorders to begin to understand the level of treatment you require.
Upon admission to your chosen facility, you will be assessed by an addiction specialist to determine the specific type of treatment required.
Addictions are diagnosed through a variety of criteria, including the DSM-5 as mentioned above.
Whilst the DSM-5 helps to diagnose substance use disorders, it also refers to three levels of severity.
The more severe an addiction is, the more treatment will be required.
The ASAM Criteria is also utilised throughout the UK and helps practitioners to correctly place, transfer and discharge patients.
It follows 6 criteria for which this is successfully done. The 6 criteria are as follows:
The first dimension explores the client’s past and their experiences with substance use. It also includes experiences with withdrawal.
The second dimension explores the client’s health history as well as their current mental and physical condition.
The third dimension explores the client’s thoughts, mental health and emotional state.
This fourth dimension determines the client’s readiness and interest in changing behaviours.
The fifth dimension explores the client’s relationship with relapsing and continued use of substances.
The sixth, and final, dimension explores the client’s recovery and living situation. It also includes exploration of things such as social groups, friends, support networks etc.
An alcohol use disorder is diagnosed through an Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, also known as an AUDIT.
The AUDIT follows 10 questions that focus on the intake of alcohol, dependency and the consequences.
Each question is scored from 0 to 4 and the test is marked out of 40.
If a patient scores more than 13 points it indicates an alcohol dependency and the importance of seeking professional help.
A score of 8 or less could suggest a cause for concern or no concern at all.
The 10 questions of the AUDIT are:
The main aim of a professional intervention is to help a friend or loved one seek help for their substance use.
Interventions are typically carried out by families with the help of a professional interventionist.
During an intervention, a group gathers with the individual facing substance use problems, to discuss the effect of their consumption and the possibility of attending rehab.
We advise the use of a professional interventionist as they can structure the conversation effectively.
Often, interventions evoke emotional responses from all and therefore need to be carefully planned.
Before the intervention takes place, many families work with the interventionist to talk through various approaches that their loved one may find beneficial.
One of the most popular approaches used by families is the CRAFT approach.
Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) helps family members learn how to steer their loved ones away from consuming drugs and alcohol.
It mainly focuses on positive reinforcement, for example, if a loved one chooses to not consume substances they are rewarded by their family.
It often helps those in denial about the severity of their issue to see how much they are not in control.
Negative behaviour is not reinforced, encouraging the loved one to stop engaging in dangerous substance consumption.
The CRAFT method helps families who have suffered due to substance abuse.
It prioritises their mental health and can help them speak openly to a professional interventionist about their concerns.

The price of rehabilitation varies for each client and depends on several different factors such as:
If you are looking for a 10-day detox in a single occupancy room, prices begin from £3,000 and can rise to around £6,000.
If you are happy to share a room, prices range from £2,000 to £4,000.
If you are looking for a complete rehabilitation programme in a single occupancy room, prices begin at £8,000 and can increase up to £12,000.
For a multi-occupancy room, a 28-day stay is usually priced at around £6,000.
Home detoxes are also an option for some clients and prices for this programme begin at £1,500.
For a more accurate estimation of your treatment programme, call our helpline today.
As previously mentioned, many clinics can now create payment plans to help them access the care they need.
In West Yorkshire, there are many rehab clinics all offering the highest quality services.
Due to this, it can make locating the right clinic a daunting prospect.
Some clinics use traditional methods such as the 12-step approach, whereas others favour more holistic approaches.
With our help, we can help find the most suitable facility for you.
When searching for rehab it is a good idea to ask the following:
A detox is usually required for most clients before they can begin the rest of their treatment programme.
Substances like heroin or alcohol cause users to exhibit withdrawal symptoms if they stop consuming the drug.
A detox is a medically assisted programme that helps eliminate physical dependencies on a substance.
They are conducted in a safe environment and clients are continuously monitored.
When someone suddenly stops using drugs or alcohol, their body can go into shock which can be fatal.
Undergoing detoxification in a medical facility can ensure you receive the correct care at all times and are prescribed medication if it is needed.
During an alcohol detox, Librium (chlordiazepoxide) is most commonly prescribed for around 10 days to help clients manage their withdrawal symptoms.
Once the detox is complete, most clients choose to stay in their facility for a further 3 weeks to begin to treat the emotional causes of addiction.
With tailored therapies and relapse prevention plans, clients can experience a complete rehabilitation programme helping them overcome their addiction to drugs and alcohol.
Again, this depends on personal factors relating to your addiction.
Most clients tend to opt for a complete programme that can range anywhere from 28 days to 3 months.
Others choose to enter rehab for a sole detox which can last from around 7 to 10 days.
Usually, 28 to 30 days are recommended so that clients can complete a detox programme followed by therapy.
Relapse prevention plans will also be drawn up for when they leave treatment.
The length of your programme will also depend on the substance you are addicted to.
For substances like heroin and alcohol, a medical detox will be needed.
For other drugs such as cocaine and cannabis, a detox is not necessary so your programme will focus solely on therapy.
Cocaine is a very dangerous and highly addictive substance.
Treatment for this addiction is usually offered through an inpatient facility to help clients focus on the cause of their addiction and work on ways to overcome any dependencies.
Whilst it may feel impossible to overcome your addiction, recovery can be a reality for you.
Acknowledging your problem is the first step.
From here, you can begin to experience a wealth of benefits finding tailored treatment to help you every step of the way.
If you feel that your cocaine use is damaging every aspect of your life from your relationships to your financial situation, reach out to our team today.
Heroin is a very addictive drug and can cause dependencies after only a few uses.
Repeated heroin use changes the structure of the brain creating long-lasting, sometimes irreversible changes.
Heroin is a Class A drug that originates from morphine.
It is abused heavily throughout the UK although it carries major health risks.
The substance is so addictive that it causes people to continue to abuse it even though they fully understand the consequences at hand.
Many people report feeling ‘numb’ after consuming heroin which makes it harder for them to understand their feelings and emotions, causing further abuse.
If you are looking for heroin rehab in the West Yorkshire area, our team can help you.
Cannabis is one of the most widely used substances in Yorkshire and the rest of the UK.
Although it is not a physically addictive substance, it can cause severe psychological damage.
Cannabis is a Class B drug in the UK and is consumed in a variety of ways.
The psychoactive ingredient in cannabis -THC- give the ‘high’ which can make some users feel extremely paranoid, nauseous, and anxious.
It can also cause a temporary loss of motor functions, palpitations, and incontinence.
At rehab, treatments can help you to explore the root of your addiction and open up about difficult thoughts and feelings associated with your cannabis consumption.
Rehab can also help to prevent any further substance abuse in the future by eliminating all dependencies.
Therapy is offered at rehab as it targets the underlying causes of addiction and co-occurring disorders.
It enables you to speak to professionals in a safe space, leaving rehab feeling understood and confident in your abilities to succeed in the next chapter of your life.
Some of the therapies available include:
Many rehab clinics in West Yorkshire use a combination of traditional and modern therapeutic techniques to create well-rounded programmes for all clients.
Upon your assessment, staff will determine a select course of therapies for you to engage in.
Before your complete treatment, a relapse prevention plan will be created.
These plans help to address potential triggers and associations in your life and can help you and your support network upon your return home.
Your clinic may introduce you to the HALT relapse prevention tool.
HALT stands for:
It is essentially a checklist to identify why you may be feeling like a relapse is likely.
Managing these four conditions can help you to avoid relapsing and partaking in addictive behaviour.
Setting intentions and goals for your life outside of rehab can help you to remain motivated at all times.
Recovery is a daily commitment and requires consistent investment to ensure you stay sober.
Your clinic will remain in contact with you for up to 12 months after you complete treatment and offer support sessions and meetings.
