The Life Works Drugs Programme

Life Works Rehabilitation Centre-Helping People Beat Their Drug Addiction

Drug Addiction

Having a drug addiction is a very difficult condition to deal with. Drug addictions negatively affect a persons life in so many ways. From loss of work, to loss of friends and family to a loss of their health, drug addictions rob a person of many things in their life.

Fortunately, drug addiction is a condition that can be beat with a successful drug addiction treatment programme. Life Works has helped many people to beat this dreadful problem and has helped to keep them living a drug free life.

Drug addiction is not an easy thing to overcome. It is both physically and emotionally draining on a person. In order to successfully beat a drug addiction, an individual needs to have both of these aspects of their lives addressed. Life Works focuses on both the physical and emotional difficulties that a person faces while seeking help for a drug addiction and by doing so, helps to ensure that the patient receives all of the necessary help that they need.

Drug Treatment

Life Works drug treatment programme offers both inpatient and outpatient treatment for those looking to beat a drug addiction. Our inpatient, residential facility is located 40 minutes outside of London in Old Woking, Surrey. The Life Work's outpatient facility is located conveniently in central London. By contacting Life Works for a free initial assessment, you can speak with a counsellor that will help you best determine which type of treatment programme will work best for you. While some people would prefer an outpatient programme, many times this is not the ideal form of treatment for them. Our counsellors at Life Works will help you to understand why a particular programme will work best for you while the other may not.

Once you have determined which type of drug treatment will best be suited for your drug addiction, if necessary you will begin the detox part of your drug treatment. Drug detoxification is often a very important part of the drug treatment programme, and Life Works will provide you with a drug detox programme that is safe, gentle and effective. You will be assessed and evaluated by a medical doctor to determine which the most effective treatment will be for your detoxification. You will also have 24 hour nursing assistance available to you throughout this process and will be treated with helpful acupuncture and massage at no additional cost to you.

The staff and counsellors at Life Works understand that different drug addictions require different forms of rehabilitation, both physically and emotionally, for them to be successful. The staff also understands that each person will handle drug addictions differently and their treatment is the same. Because of this, Life Works will work with you to ensure that your individual needs are met so that your drug treatment programme is most successful to you.

We will help patients to physically overcome their drug addiction through various means such as providing proper nutrition for their generally malnourished bodies, as well as teaching patients the importance of self care by providing their bodies with healthy nutrition. We offer a gym for patients who feel up to exercise, as well as areas for patients to have a walk after a meal. We also offer physical treatments to help with drug treatment such as massage, Shiatsu and acupuncture, which have proven to be highly successful in helping to overcome drug addiction.
Emotionally, we help you to get to the core of your drug addiction issues. We help uncover why you developed a drug addiction in the first place and what the core of your problem is. Life Work's counsellors will then help you to face these problems and help you to find the best way to cope with them. We offer both group and one to one counseling to help deal with the emotional aspects of drug addiction and will also include family group counseling to help your family to understand what you are going through as well as how they can help you to support you once you have completed your drug rehabilitation programme.

Substance Abuse

There are many different kinds of substance abuse problems that a person can suffer from. These can include substance abuse addictions to stimulants such as amphetamines and crack cocaine, prescription drugs, opiates, marijuana and other so called “designer” drugs that are on the streets today. Each of these substance abuse problems require different approaches towards the right substance abuse treatment and Life Works can help to ensure that the patient receives the right treatment for their particular addiction.

Some substance abuse addictions are much more emotionally based than others in terms of recovery, and provide more emotional distress than physical distress to the person. Life Work's counsellors are skilled in dealing with these types of emotional issues that a person can suffer whilst going through the substance abuse treatment program, which will help to ensure that they receive the proper emotional counseling that they need for their addiction.

Having a substance abuse problem is never an easy thing to deal with, but the staff at Life Works will do everything that they can to ensure that your recovery from your substance abuse addiction goes as smoothly and as safely as possible. Life Works dedicated staff will help you to get through this process with the support you need in order to overcome your drug addiction, and will do so in a safe, gentle and effective environment. This can greatly help to put the patient more at ease and help them get through their drug addiction treatment much more smoothly.

If you or a loved one suffers from a substance abuse addiction, contact the staff at Life Works today for an initial assessment, and let us get you started in choosing the right substance abuse treatment for you. Our private drug rehabilitation facility offers state of the art facilities for your treatment, in a peaceful environment that will guarantee you the highest level of quality, privacy and security that you need.
