It has been found that across the country, 1% of the population is considered to struggle with addiction. Drug and alcohol addiction is a widespread problem that can affect anyone at any time in their life. With drugs and alcohol more easily accessed than ever, it is incredibly easy to let a bad habit spiral out of control.

The most commonly abused substances in Finland are:

  • Alcohol
  • Cannabis
  • Heroin
  • Cocaine
  • Prescription drugs
  • Ecstasy
  • Meth
  • Opioids

There is no shame in struggling with an addiction. Every year, more people are coming forward and asking for help dealing with their addiction.

If you are wondering if you need the help of a drug and alcohol rehab in Finland, then there are some questions you can ask yourself.

  • Do you start and end your day with substance abuse?
  • Do you prioritise substance abuse over other commitments, whether work or family?
  • Do you choose to abuse substances rather than take part in leisure activities?
  • Have you ever put yourself in danger to access drugs or alcohol?
  • Have you ever broken the law to abuse substances, be it through driving under the influence or buying a controlled substance?
  • Have you ever lied to a doctor or medical professional about your drug or alcohol usage?
  • Do you feel the need to hide your substance abuse from people you can trust?
  • Is your substance abuse affecting your ability to work?
  • Is your substance abuse affecting your relationships?
  • Have you noticed your physical and mental health declining?
  • Are you prioritising substance abuse over all else, including your health?

Addiction is difficult to live with and difficult to overcome. Many people are tempted to stay with the struggles they know rather than put in the work to change. But just because you are comfortable doesn’t mean you are safe.

Drug and alcohol rehab is worth it to live a long and happy life in the end.

 

What Addictions Are Treated in Rehab?

A person can, technically speaking, be addicted to anything. This is because addiction is created when your brain is introduced to a stimulant that causes a dopamine rush.

At first, every time you use this stimulant, you get a big rush of dopamine, and this causes you to feel pleasure. However, as time goes on, your brain will start to develop a tolerance forcing you to need more of the stimulant or a more intense version to feel the same effect.

Eventually, your brain will believe that it needs this stimulant to produce any dopamine at all, and it will cause you to crave it. Ignoring these cravings will cause you to experience depression, anxiety, paranoia and mood swings.

In some cases, you will also begin to experience withdrawal symptoms as your body panics.

In alcohol and drug rehab, many addictions can be treated and treated in the right way so that you will be perfectly safe the entire time. These addictions include:

  • Cocaine addiction
  • Alcohol addiction
  • Opioids addiction
  • Heroine addiction
  • Cannabis addiction
  • Gambling addiction
  • Prescription drug addiction

Many of the treatments for these addictions are the same, and they involve you being able to never need to use them again.

Treatments in rehab are designed to teach you how to manage your addiction in the long run through a plan of controlled abstinence where you will be able to safely never abuse substances again.

Treatments that do this involve a drug or alcohol detox to safely deal with the chemical addiction that will lead to withdrawal symptoms. The detox makes it so that you will never experience withdrawal symptoms again so long as you avoid relapsing.

Following this, you will receive therapeutic treatments that will teach you how to actually manage your addiction so that you can change your lifestyle and bring in tools to help you avoid giving in to your cravings.

 

Your Treatment Options

When you choose to get help from a drug and alcohol rehab centre, it is very important that you act quickly.

Studies have shown that the faster you are starting your addiction treatments, the better. This is because you will still be energised by your decision to change your life and be more willing to take the treatments seriously.

There are two main options available to you for your recovery journey, and they depend entirely on what fits best with you and your needs. The first option you have is to find a drug and alcohol rehab centre in Finland. There are plenty of wonderful rehab facilities across the country.

You do also have the option to go abroad for your treatments. A good part of residential rehab is that it takes you out of your everyday. It interrupts your routine and takes you out of your comfort zone, forcing you to confront your issues.

Rehab abroad takes you to an entirely new location so that all you can do is focus on yourself and your rehabilitation needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How private is a stay in rehab?
From the moment you first contact us through the admission process to the actual stay and treatment, everything is kept in the strictest confidence. The rehab environment itself is discrete and secure and personal details are kept strictly inhouse. Communication with family members and others will only be undertaken with your guidance and agreement.
How long does rehab last?
Unfortunately, there is no straightforward answer to that. The average stay at rehab lasts around 28 days, but ultimately it will depend on the nature and severity of your addiction. Some patients are good to go after the detox clinic, around 10 days, whereas some patients need much longer, up to 12 weeks.
When should I seek treatment for addiction?
It can be difficult to know when you have developed a problem, but there are some warning signs to look out for. If you find yourself trying to hide your drinking or you are drinking in secret or if your friends and family are beginning to comment on your drinking or drug use, it could be a sign that you need help. The surest and most worrying sign that you have developed an addiction is if you find yourself constantly looking forwards to your next drink or hit, or if you feel unusual or ill when you have gone without for a little while.
