Sedatives Rehab

Sedative rehab is the term often used for the full programme of sedatives addiction treatment. While different centres provide varying services, sedatives rehab at Liberty House comprises three equally important stages:

1. Sedatives detox
2. Sedative rehab therapy
3. Relapse prevention and aftercare

Professional sedative addiction treatment is crucial because drug addiction isn’t something you can just “willpower” your way out of. Sedatives cause physical harm, but they also affect your emotions, your relationships and even the way you see yourself. Sedatives rehab is an opportunity to step back from the chaos, address the deeper issues fueling your sedatives use and rebuild your life brick by brick.

Liberty House provides treatment for numerous sedatives with some of the most common including:

Sedatives detox is the process of stopping the medication and allowing your body to clear it out of your system. This sounds simple, but the problem is that when your body has become dependent on sedatives, quitting can trigger powerful withdrawal symptoms. These can be anything from discomfort and anxiety to potentially dangerous side effects and they are why going “cold turkey” is unsafe and often unsuccessful. 

Liberty House is one of the premium sedatives detox facilities in the UK, with our medically-designed programme including: 

• A stress-free setting: No outside pressures, no distractions, no access to sedatives – just a calm, focused environment where you can commit fully to drug detox.
  
• Expert care, day and night: Our medical team is on hand 24/7, ready to manage sedatives withdrawal symptoms and guide you through even the toughest moments.
  
• A plan that fits you: No cookie-cutter solutions here. We will assess your needs and create a sedative detox plan that works for your body and your journey.
• A launchpad to sedatives rehab therapy: Detox is just the first step, and once you’ve made it through, you will be ready to transition straight into our rehab programme.

Coming off sedatives is no walk in the park, as when your body grows used to their effects, when they’re suddenly gone, it takes time to catch up. Sedatives withdrawal symptoms can vary widely but here are some of the most common hurdles you might face:

• Sleepless nights
• Emotional swings with anxiety, depression and mood swings
• Physical discomfort including headaches, stiffness, tremors and aching muscles
• Nausea and stomach problems 
• Dizziness
• Confusion
• Strong cravings for sedatives 

The length of sedatives withdrawal can be different from person to person but here is a general timeline of what to expect:

• First 24-48 hours: Initial symptoms such as anxiety, restlessness and insomnia often appear as your body starts to miss the effects of sedatives.
• Days 2-4: This period often marks the peak of sedative withdrawal, where symptoms like increased heart rate, sweating, tremors and intensified anxiety are all common.
• Days 5-7: You should begin to feel a reduction in the acute physical symptoms by the end of the first week, but anxiety, mood swings and cravings may still be present.
• Week 2 onwards: While the most intense symptoms typically subside, rebound insomnia and anxiety can persist for weeks for some people. Expert guidance from the team at Liberty House is crucial at this stage for psychological support and staying on track as you move onto stage two of sedative addiction treatment.

Sedative detox gets your body back on track, but drug rehab is about rolling up your sleeves and doing the deeper work. As you progress through a programme of different therapies, you will explore why sedatives became part of your life and how to let them go for good.

• An extensive mixture of therapies and treatments
• Comfortable accommodation, high-quality meals and excellent facilities
