Inhalant Rehab

inhalant addiction can develop rapidly, often leaving users unaware of how serious their dependency has become. The intense high associated with inhalants can create a false sense of control, making it hard to recognise the line between occasional use and addiction. Reflecting on your relationship with inhalants can help you determine whether rehab is the right step for you.

Consider these five questions:

• Do you rely on inhalants to manage stress or escape difficult emotions?
• Have you noticed an increase in how much or how often you use inhalants to feel the same effects?
• Do you experience physical or emotional discomfort when you stop using inhalants?
• Is your use of inhalants causing issues in your relationships, work, or daily life?
• Have you tried to quit inhalants but found it too challenging on your own?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it could indicate a dependency that requires professional help. Acknowledging these signs is a vital step toward reclaiming your well-being.

Starting rehab can feel intimidating, particularly with the stigma surrounding inhalant addiction. At Liberty House, we aim to dispel those fears by offering a compassionate, personalised approach to recovery. Here’s how our inhalant rehab programme is structured:

Initial assessment

Your journey begins with a thorough assessment conducted in a supportive and understanding environment. This step involves exploring your medical history, lifestyle, and goals for recovery, allowing us to design a tailored treatment plan. The initial assessment is an opportunity to share your story and lay the groundwork for a successful rehab experience.

Detox

The detox phase focuses on safely removing inhalants from your system under 24/7 medical supervision. Withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, restlessness, and intense cravings are common but manageable with the right support. At Liberty House, we provide medications and therapeutic techniques to ease these challenges, ensuring your safety and comfort throughout the process.

Therapy

Therapy is the cornerstone of the rehab experience, addressing the underlying causes of inhalant addiction. Our programme includes one-to-one counselling, group therapy, and evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). We also offer holistic options such as yoga and art therapy to promote emotional balance and resilience.

Aftercare

Recovery doesn’t end when rehab does. Our aftercare services are designed to support you as you transition back to daily life, offering regular follow-ups, access to support groups, and relapse prevention strategies. Aftercare ensures you maintain the progress made during rehab and continue building a healthier, more fulfilling future.

At Liberty House, we believe in treating both the mind and body as equally essential parts of recovery. Addiction to inhalants often stems from deep-seated emotional or psychological issues, which is why therapy plays a crucial role in the healing process. If you’re unsure about therapy or find the idea uncomfortable, rest assured that every method we use is designed to empower and support you.

Below, we explore the key therapies offered at Liberty House and how they specifically help with inhalant addiction recovery.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)

CBT is an evidence-based approach that identifies and challenges negative thought patterns contributing to addiction. With inhalants, this might involve addressing beliefs that the substance is a coping mechanism for stress or emotional pain. CBT equips you with healthier strategies for managing triggers, helping to reduce cravings and prevent relapse.

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT)

DBT combines mindfulness techniques with practical coping skills to regulate emotions and improve interpersonal relationships. Inhalant addiction often leads to emotional instability, which DBT helps address by fostering emotional resilience and teaching you how to tolerate distress without turning to substances.

Group therapy

Group therapy provides a safe and supportive environment where individuals can share their experiences and learn from others on similar recovery journeys. The sense of community in group sessions helps combat feelings of isolation, offering encouragement and new perspectives on overcoming challenges.

One-to-one therapy

Individual therapy allows for a more personalised exploration of the factors driving your addiction. These private sessions can help address sensitive issues such as trauma or self-esteem, which may be difficult to confront in a group setting. One-to-one therapy ensures that your unique needs are fully addressed.

Holistic therapies: art therapy, yoga, and meditation

Holistic therapies focus on healing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Art therapy provides a creative outlet for processing emotions, while yoga promotes physical health and stress relief. Meditation helps develop mindfulness, enabling you to stay present and manage cravings more effectively. Together, these therapies foster a sense of balance and self-awareness that supports lasting recovery.

Breaking free from inhalant addiction is a challenging but achievable goal, especially with the right support. At Liberty House, we’re dedicated to helping you every step of the way, offering personalised care and evidence-based treatments in a compassionate environment.
