Although sometimes one is not aware of their addiction, does not want to accept their current situation, or simply does not consider it to be serious, we may encounter people who do not want to detox. However, when someone says, “I want to detox,” at that moment, we are already taking a significant step forward.
While it is true that many addicts need help to eventually make this statement, the goal, regardless of what is needed to achieve it, is for people to have the desire to detox. The desire to detox will lead us to want treatment, and that will lead us to undergo treatments and therapies in search of solutions.
The first step
As we said, recognizing addiction and wanting to detox is a crucial first step. Not only because of what it means in terms of personal acceptance and wanting to face a reality, but because wanting to be treated will lead to starting a treatment. And thus, the path to real detoxification will begin.
When one decides to detox and expresses this will, they are accepting that they have an addiction. Although it may sometimes sound insignificant, it is very complex for an addict to accept what is happening to them. It is a disease that needs to be treated, but drug addicts, or people suffering from a behavioral addiction, are sometimes not aware of it. Other times, they consider themselves guilty of what is happening to them, they feel that if they recognize the addiction they will be judged by others, and the pressure and stigmatization of addicts by society puts a burden on them that they cannot or do not want to deal with. In short, many obstacles for people who are often in low spirits and physically weak. This means that it can be difficult to find the strength, courage, or appropriate space to take this step, and it should be highly valued.
Going to a detox center
If we have managed to take a first step, which is usually the most complicated, we must not stop. We must take advantage of this momentum, this clarity to become aware of what will be best for your life and what has led you to recognize the addiction, to continue moving forward.
That is why, as soon as possible, you should go to a detox center. To remedy an addiction, which is a disease, treatment must be started, and entering a detox center is the best way to do it. And this is where CCAdicciones comes in, with our detox centers prepared to welcome you and offer you the best services and care thanks to our staff specialized in addictions.
CCAdicciones, your guide on the journey
Once we have decided to address our addiction, we must focus on the treatment to combat it, which can be a long and complicated process and will require effort and willpower. In any case, it will be vital to be well accompanied throughout the recovery journey, and at CCAdicciones we can be your best companion. It must be emphasized that when we want to treat an addiction, entering a detox center is the best option.
In our centers, we have professionals specialized in addictions and in different areas of treatment that we address. Our therapies, including group, individual, and sports therapies, are carried out by experts, as is the rest of the staff who will accompany you throughout your stay in our detox clinics.
Although admission to a clinic is very important and has many benefits, we are also aware that, sometimes, whether due to context or for whatever reason, there are people who decide not to be admitted, but for them we also have services they can access without entering an addiction clinic. So, if you are not sure what to do or how to start your detox, don’t worry, at CCAdicciones we can help you. Contact us, the first consultation is free and without any obligation so you can get to know us better.
The importance of family
These first steps of recovery are fundamental. In fact, when one is immersed in it, even if it is a hard and potentially long process, work is already being done to reverse the situation and time is being invested to combat the disease. That is why it is crucial to start treatment as soon as possible, which will allow us to gradually begin recovery and move away from addiction.
But these first steps, as we have already mentioned, are not easy at all. And this is where families or those closest to the patient can play a very important role. Because a supportive environment that cares for you, worries about you, and seeks solutions while being aware of the situation will be of great help and can be a key part of your process.
Often, family, friendship, or partner relationships are affected because the addicted person may lose control or experience great emotional instability. But if their loved ones remain close, they can be a great support. Furthermore, the first step we talked about is usually accompanied by prior work from these people. They must try to convince and accompany the person through the illness so that the addict sees it more and more clearly. Bringing them closer to acceptance and then to the conviction of seeking treatment.
Knowing the importance and family involvement that some people may have, at CCAdicciones we also offer a family support service for people who may have suffered from co-addiction, who need tools to treat their addicted family member, or who simply need some type of therapy because that context has led them to have problems.
Addiction treatments
At CCAdicciones, we have several detox centers in Spain, and they offer different types of treatment depending on the addiction. Drug addiction treatments include: alcohol, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, new drugs, or ketamine. But there are also treatments for behavioral addictions: gambling addiction, compulsive shopping addiction, sex addiction, and new technology (ICT) addiction.
Our staff is specialized in addiction treatment. Depending on the case and the addiction, the treatment will be approached in one way or another. We personalize care and strive to offer the maximum possible help.
CCAdicciones can be the solution you were looking for. If you have taken the first step and decided that you want to detox, we are waiting for you. We want to help and accompany you along this path. Because there is always a way out, and one should never lose hope of recovery.
