How Do I Know If I Need Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Berwick?
If you are worried about your use of drugs or alcohol, you may have an addiction that requires the help of trained professionals.
Having an addiction does not mean that you cannot function as normal in society, as many people learn to hide their substance use from their friends and family.
If you feel that you have strong cravings for a substance regularly or need to take that substance to feel normal again – it is highly likely that you have developed a substance use disorder.
Other signs that you may need to seek drug and alcohol rehab in Berwick are:
- You cannot function properly without taking the substance
- You often think about the substance and long for your next ‘hit’
- You spend large amounts of time and money trying to obtain the substance
- You have begun to struggle financially due to your dependency
- Your family and friends have expressed concerns about your dependency
- You have found yourself withdrawing from friends and family in favour of spending time with other people who use the substance
If any of those resonate with you, it is best to get help sooner rather than later. The longer an addiction goes on, the harder it is to beat.

What Substances Require Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Berwick?
Several substances would require you to seek drug and alcohol rehab in Berwick.
Many people feel that prescription medication is not the same as street drugs and that they cannot be addicted to something a doctor is prescribing, however, an addiction to prescription medication can be just as dangerous as any other addiction.
A dependency on prescription medication most often begins with a need for that particular medication, for example, after surgery or an accident. The person first relies on that medication to alleviate any pain that they might otherwise experience.
However, as time goes on and their physical pain goes away, they now have a psychological dependency on the drug and feel they need it to cope. At this stage, a doctor may refuse to prescribe any more of the medication and the person who is dependent on it may search for the medication on the black market. If the medication is difficult to acquire, they may begin to experiment with street drugs to feed their addiction.
Substance addictions that would require drug and alcohol rehab in Berwick include:
- Heroin
- Cocaine
- Marijuana
- Alcohol
- Prescription medications such as anti-anxiety medication and sleeping tablets
- Over-the-counter medications such as cough and cold medication or motion sickness pills
