Life Works: Drug Addiction and Drug Rehabilitation

Life Works – the leading specialist private drug addiction treatment centre

When someone you love suffers from drug addiction, everyone in their life is affected. Quality of life and physical well-being begin to suffer, and the person you know and love begins to change. Drug abuse is a disease that destroys lives not only for the addict but for the families and friends that love them. However, addiction can be defeated with comprehensive treatment and the development of a support network for those in drug rehabilitation and for their families. The clinical experts at Lifeworks integrate holistic medicine with cutting edge, evidence-based research to restore well-being and hope for those struggling with addiction and needing drug rehab.

 

Are you seeking help for someone else?

 

In addition to the social issues inflicted by addiction, the physical effects can also have a profound impact on the individual and the family. The development of mental illness, heart attacks and arrhythmias, memory loss, cancer, and malnutrition are common with long-term drug abuse. With the debilitating conditions drug abuse can cause, having a comprehensive and supportive medical team is key in successful drug rehabilitation.

Addiction is a debilitating illness that will ultimately destroy the lives of the people around you and eventually it will take your life. Defeat drug abuse, renew hope and reclaim your life. Life Works is here to help.

What are the forms of Drug Addiction?

Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment

Prescription drug addiction treatment is often not recognised as necessary as prescription drugs are prescribed by your doctor. However prescription drug abuse is increasingly becoming one of the major causes of drug abuse. Prescription drug addiction treatment is needed when a prescribed drug is used more frequently and at higher doses than originally prescribed or when the prescribed drug continues to be taken after the original cause for administration has resolved. Due to this prescription drug addiction is difficult to recognise and can quickly spiral out of control. Prescription drug addiction treatment combined with a medically managed drug detox are provided by Life Works to assist individuals to come to terms with their addiction and help them break free of dependence on prescribed drugs

 

Opiate Drug Rehab

Abuse of prescription drugs and other opiates such as heroin appears to be on the rise in the UK. Whether legitimately prescribed or taken recreationally, opiate painkillers carry great potential for abuse and addiction. Addiction to opiates is a serious matter and the physical, psychological, and societal consequences can be devastating. Heroin addiction treatment is vital in preventing the potential escalation of the abuse while minimizing the risk of addiction, overdose, and death. Medically managed drug detox is often needed for successful addiction treatment. The aim of addiction treatment is to facilitate physical and psychological healing and increase quality of life for the afflicted.

 

Stimulant Drug Rehabilitation

Life Works leads the way in providing advanced, evidence-based stimulant addiction treatment. Our unique approach to drug addiction rehabilitation combined with the expertise of our specialist team has earned Life Works an enviable reputation for helping those struggling with stimulant addiction.

Depending on the individual’s situation, the first steps in treating stimulant addiction may be tapering off the drug's dose and treating withdrawal symptoms through a medically managed drug detox. The detox process is incorporated within the range of behavioural therapies to create a bespoke stimulant addiction treatment programme.

Experience has demonstrated to us that people with stimulant addiction can recover. They can regain their physical health and well-being and improve their relationships with others. Our stimulant treatment programme has a proven track record of success in achieving client goals.

 

Cannabis / Marijuana Addiction Treatment

Life Works are the leading private drug addiction rehabilitation centre for marijuana/cannabis treatment. We use the latest neuroscientific research to inform our understanding of how dependence/problems with marijuana/cannabis affect the individual.

In general, the symptoms of dependence are:

  • Using more, or for longer, than you meant to
  • A constant desire to use, or trying to give up and failing
  • Spending less time on important activities or giving them up altogether
  • Tolerance (needing more of the drug to get the same effect)
  • Withdrawal (unpleasant symptoms when you stop)

As the leading private drug rehab we have developed a sophisticated marijuana/cannabis treatment programme, which may include a medically managed drug detox treatment that addresses the underlying causes of dependency, leading to a positive outcome for the individual.
