Do you find it somewhat impossible to survive without the support of drugs or alcohol?

If you answered yes, you have likely become reliant on substances and, in turn, developed an addiction.

Should you find yourself addicted to substances and are a Kirkcaldy resident, considering a drug and alcohol rehab in Kirkcaldy should be a priority.  Although we can appreciate that the thought of doing so is nerve-wracking, drug and alcohol addictions are challenging to overcome without professional support and guidance.

 

Drug and Alcohol Abuse In Scotland

Across Scotland, drug and alcohol abuse is a widespread problem.  In recent years, the number of drug-related deaths has regrettably increased by 27%.

In addition to this, alcohol abuse and addictions have seen more than 40,000 people admitted to hospital each year for alcohol-related illnesses such as cancer, heart conditions and injuries. So it’s important for those who have a problem to seek advice from a drug and alcohol rehab centre in Scotland to ensure you are not another statistic and can change your life for the better.

Although the number of people losing their lives to addictions continues to soar, addictions continue to go overlooked and are often left untreated.

As touched on above, drug and alcohol abuse and addictions often go overlooked by the individual struggling.  Many will live in denial and believe that they are not addicted to substances, while others will believe that their addiction does not require treatment.

Securing Treatment for A Drug or Alcohol Addiction

Although many people will often believe that securing treatment for an addiction merely requires them to find a rehab within close proximity of their hometown, obtaining treatment for a drug or alcohol addiction goes well beyond locating a drug and alcohol rehab in Kirkcaldy.

As you commence your search for a rehab, it is imperative to ensure that the centre you attend offers the treatment that you need to truly overcome your addiction.  It is also essential to determine whether the facilities provided by a rehab will contribute towards your addiction recovery and present you with the support you need as you undergo treatment.

Understanding that considering the various factors outlined above can be somewhat overwhelming for those struggling with addictions, we have created a stress-free referral service to ensure that you can secure the treatment you need when you need it.

The Benefits Of Recovering In Rehab

At Addiction Advocates, we often refer individuals struggling with addictions to private residential rehabs.  Although many outpatient rehabs successfully support those in need, various benefits come hand in hand with recovering from an addiction on an inpatient basis.

For example, as you recover in rehab, your risk of relapsing will be mitigated as you remove yourself from your day-to-day life and any triggers and temptations.  Sadly, individuals that seek outpatient support will be required to return home after a day of treatment.  This puts many at risk of relapsing as they continue to be surrounded by the factors that have caused their addiction to arise.

In addition, attending a residential rehab will see you provided with around the clock care and support from medical professionals and recovery specialists.  Although you may not think that you need this, you will likely encounter withdrawal symptoms and various emotions as you withdraw from substances and undergo therapy.

With the support of staff in a residential rehab, you will be able to address the feelings as and when they come to light and learn how to manage these.  In addition to helping you overcome any pessimistic thoughts and feelings, this support will significantly reduce your risk of relapse.
