Am I experiencing an addiction?
The first hurdle for anyone overcoming an addiction, is to find out – and admit – that you are experiencing one.
This can be incredibly difficult, not just because of the denial that is very common amongst those with drug or alcohol addictions, but because of the general lack of knowledge on the symptoms of one.
So, whilst it may feel easier to chalk up cravings and a higher tolerance for your substance of choice as a normal thing, it can help to know all of the small signs and symptoms of an addiction that you may be ignoring.
Symptoms of a substance addition present themselves in three ways throughout your life: Mentally, physically, and socially.
Mental Symptoms
- All you seem to be able to think about is the substance you use, and when your next use will be
- You struggle to think of much else
- You are experiencing heightened symptoms of an existing mental health disorder (depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, etc.)
- You turn to the substance for comfort, escapism, or as a way to cope with or avoid difficult feelings

Physical symptoms
- You are struggling to keep a regular sleeping pattern
- You are not putting in as much effort into your personal hygiene and health as usual
- Your tolerance for the substance you use has increased since your first use
- This tolerance continues to increase with each use, resulting in you having to use more of the substance in order to achieve the same effect that you have become accustomed to
- You experience withdrawal symptoms when you have not used the substance in a short period of time (these can include nausea, headaches, dizziness, shaking, muscle pain and fatigue)
- You are more on edge, easily agitated and angry than usual
Social Symptoms
- You are avoiding responsibilities in your work or personal life that you used to complete with no problem
- You are avoiding social or work events that you used to attend with no problem
- You are lashing out at loved ones when they express concern over your use of the substance
- You are refusing help from loved ones
- You have a secret stash of the substance hidden away somewhere
If you are experiencing a number of these signs, we recommend getting in touch with us as soon as you can, to ensure you receive the best possible care before your addiction worsens any further.
How do I get admitted to a drug and alcohol rehab in Alfreton?
Once you have come to terms with the existence of your addiction, you will be able to start your recovery journey by contacting us here at OK Rehab.
Through a few simple questions and a quick assessment of your addiction, we will be able to determine what your personal needs are and how we can best accommodate them with treatment either through outpatient care, or in a drug and alcohol rehab in Alfreton.
We will discuss your history with addiction, how long you have been using for, the overall severity of your addiction, the substance or multiple substances you have used in the past.
We’ll also examine certain aspects of your personality and character that could impact our decisions about your treatment.
At this time you will need to let us know about any personal requirements or preferences for treatment you have, so that we can work around them and get you the most suitable and effective addiction treatment.

It is also highly important that at this point of the admissions process you are completely honest with us, as any false information or any under or overexaggerated data can interfere with the results, and therefore the quality of your addiction treatment.
This process will be quick and easy, and will hopefully make the stress of searching for treatment a little easier.
Our friendly admissions team will be on hand the whole way to offer guidance, support, advice, and to answer and questions you may have about rehab, recovery, and our other addiction treatment services.
Once we have finalised our options for your care using the data gained during the earlier assessment, they will be presented to you.
When you have arrived at your chosen drug and alcohol rehab in Alfreton – or one further afield if you find that suits you more – you will undergo a secondary assessment that will further evaluate the state of your physical and mental health.
This will help us to streamline your personalised treatment plan even more and will allow us to narrow down which methods of treatment will be most beneficial to you.
Throughout your time in your drug and alcohol rehab in Alfreton, you will be monitored closely in order for us to keep track of your progress, and to ensure you are on the right path to recovery.
This will also allow us to adjust your treatment as you go if necessary.
With the help of the team at your chosen rehab, a full drug or alcohol detox, and multiple forms of therapy and counselling, you will have the chance to work towards a substance-free life.
You will learn how to notice and avoid emotional triggers in your home environment, identify what could lead you to a relapse and put in a plan to prevent that.
This will allow you to fully come to terms with your addiction as a disease, and overall prepare for your new life in recovery.
