Signs of Symptoms of Addiction

Addiction often becomes a problem for most people when the detrimental effects become apparent in the rest of their lives. This might be difficulties at work, with personal relationships, or in a person’s physical and mental health.
Specific signs and symptoms of addiction can vary depending on the person and the type and severity of addiction, but there are some common characteristics that can help indicate addiction.
- Irritability and mood swings
- Difficulty concentrating
- Memory loss
- Difficulty sleeping and tiredness
- Social withdrawal
- Diminished personal appearance and care
- Feelings of hopelessness
- Pronounced symptoms of pre-existing mental health conditions
If you’ve noticed these changes as a result of a substance you’re using, or have noticed them in someone else, Addiction Advocated can help with recovery.
Support through your recovery journey
Having the right kind of support is essential for a successful recovery journey. At our rehab centre in Waddon understanding, professional staff will be able to guide you through every stage of your recovery, from detox to aftercare.
The first stage of addiction treatment is withdrawal from the substance. Withdrawal symptoms when undergoing drug detox or alcohol detox can be extremely unpleasant, so it’s important for your own personal safety that you do so in an environment where medically trained professionals are on hand.
We also understand how intertwined mental health and addiction are. Different people need different levels of support, and we can provide counselling, therapy, and support groups to help each individual overcome their addiction challenges. We can also offer specialist anxiety treatment and depression treatment.
Aftercare is crucial in preventing relapse by providing support after you finish your rehab programme. There’s often a lot of apprehension about how triggers or an enabling environment may affect the successful completion of a rehab programme, but our tailor-made aftercare programmes help you to maintain control of your substance free future when you leave rehab.
Exactly what aftercare will look like for you depends on your personal needs, but connecting with support groups, ongoing therapy, and goal setting are all important aspects of a sober future.
