Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Eccles
Every person who is addicted to drugs and alcohol will have their individual experience of what that means.
Although there are usually similarities across the symptoms, just as there are with any illness, each person is unique.
As such it’s essential that people are treated as individuals upon entering treatment. Addiction has different levels of severity, from mild misuse, to moderate addiction, to a strong dependency.
Substances have varying effects on the different bodily systems. This means immediate symptoms and long-term health effects can vary slightly.
This, along with each person having their own unique responses, means that rehabilitation programmes work best when a person is provided a tailored programme.
There are a wide range of options for people living with addictions in the Eccles area. To find out how you can access a specialised rehab support plan, call OK Rehab on 0800 326 5559. Our team of advisors is waiting to guide you through your local options.
What are the effects of psychoactive substance misuse?
A psychoactive substance is any substance that directly affects the brain and thereafter behaviour. People tend to seek out some of these effects as they view them as desirable.
This is especially so in the early stages of drug and alcohol use.
When people first try substances, they usually want to feel good, energised, confident, relaxed, happier, or just in another state to usual (for many reasons). Sadly, for some people who experiment, substances can create a “hook” which draws the person back to them in the future.
In terms of the immediate effects, substances can speed up a person’s heart rate or alternatively might suppress the respiratory system. This can make a person present as chaotic and energetic, or slow, vacant, and sleepy. Some people might lose consciousness.
Where people develop addictions, there are long-term physical and mental health effects. With regular use, it’s common for chronic illnesses and diseases to occur. At their worst, substances will gradually make the body shut down as the organs are put under serious strain, ultimately leading to death.
Addiction is a disease of the mind and body. It needs to be treated by professionals in order for recovery to be a real possibility.

Can you achieve long-lasting recovery?
At the depths of an addiction, recovery can seem impossible. This is especially the case where people have been unwell for many years. Drugs and alcohol cloud a person’s vision and ability to believe in themselves.
However, with time, effort, treatment, and determination, recovery is possible. Thousands of people throughout the UK have taken control of their addictive habits and become sober. If others can, you can too.
It’s a huge challenge, of course, especially where you’re surrounded by people and a lifestyle that makes the problem worse. However, if you’re honest with yourself about what you want and what you need to do to obtain abstinence, you can heal and live a healthy life.
One of the most important moments of recovery is accepting support and treatment. This is what makes all the difference in a person becoming well.
