Spice Addiction Treatment | Detox & Rehab

Spice is a drug with a well-earned reputation for the harm it can cause to health and personal well-being. Unfortunately, this reputation has not prevented some people from abusing Spice and becoming addicted as a result. The stigma around Spice can make it hard for people to ask for help, but if you are struggling with Spice addiction, every day that passes before you reach out for help is another day closer to catastrophic consequences. Linwood House’s Spice addiction treatment programmes are designed to heal your mind, body and spirit through detox, rehab and aftercare.

Do I need Spice addiction treatment?

Any amount of Spice abuse is potentially dangerous, and even if you have not crossed the line into legal high addiction, it can still cause great harm to yourself and those around you. If you are unsure about whether Spice addiction treatment is right for you, answer these questions honestly:

Are your relationships falling apart because you are constantly arguing with loved ones who are worried about your Spice use?
Have you been arrested or experienced legal trouble because of Spice?
Is your health deteriorating with symptoms like weight loss, memory problems or feeling constantly tired and weak?
Have you experienced frightening hallucinations or paranoia?
Are you spending more money on Spice than you can afford?
Are you isolating yourself more and more, avoiding your friends and family because you feel they wouldn’t understand?
Do you feel hopeless? Is it as if your life is spiralling out of control with no way to escape?

If any of these questions ring a bell, it is a sign that Spice is already causing serious damage to your life. Linwood House’s Spice addiction treatment can help prevent any more harm from being done and give you a clear path forward. Here is what it involves:

1. Breaking physical dependence through Spice detox

Spice detox is a tough but essential first step on your road to recovery as it breaks physical dependency and removes all the toxins from your body. If you have ever tried to quit Spice on your own, you know how brutal it can be with incessant cravings and deeply unsettling Spice withdrawal symptoms.

That is why an inpatient detox at Linwood House can be a game-changer. Instead of battling Spice withdrawal symptoms alone, you will have our experienced medical team by your side 24/7, helping you manage the worst of it.

When you arrive at Linwood House, we’ll start by getting to know you and understanding the extent of your Spice use. This helps us create a Spice detox plan tailored just for you so you get the care you need. As your body begins to clear out Spice, our team will be right there, offering support and medication if needed to ease Spice withdrawal symptoms.

Spice detox is often the step that scares people the most but with our guidance and support, you will be ready to tackle the next stages with a clearer mind and a healthier body.

What to expect from Spice withdrawal

Going through Spice withdrawal is no walk in the park, but knowing what to expect can make it a little less scary. Spice withdrawal symptoms can hit hard and fast, and while it may sound hard to believe, they are a positive sign that healing has begun.

Typical Spice withdrawal symptoms include:

Severe anxiety
Agitation
Paranoia
Headaches
Nausea
Intense cravings for Spice
Insomnia
Exhaustion
Irritation
Vivid nightmares
Hallucinations (in severe cases)

Linwood House knows how to deal with all of these symptoms and will see you through them safe and sound.

How long does it take to detox from Spice?

The first 24-48 hours are often the most intense, with withdrawal symptoms peaking as your body adjusts to the absence of Spice. During this time, you might feel the worst of the anxiety, cravings and physical discomfort.
By day 3-7, Spice withdrawal symptoms usually begin to level out, though cravings can still be strong, and you might feel emotionally drained. Sleep might still be a challenge, and it is common to feel moody or depressed as your body and mind continue to readjust.
After the first week, the physical Spice withdrawal symptoms often start to fade, but psychological symptoms like anxiety, cravings and depression can stubbornly persist for a while longer. This is why ongoing support and therapy are so important, and the next stage of treatment will help you navigate these lingering effects.

2. Holistic healing through Spice rehab treatment

Rehab treatment at Linwood is all about figuring out what led you to Spice in the first place and how to create a life where you don’t need it anymore.

During Spice rehab, you will have the space to talk openly about what’s been going on in your life. Our therapists are here to listen and guide you through understanding your feelings. They will help you dig into the emotions, stress or past experiences that have been weighing you down.

As with detox, Spice rehab treatment at Linwood House is an inpatient programme. This will provide you with a sanctuary where you can focus entirely on getting better without the usual pressures or temptations.

Spice rehab treatment at Linwood House

Spice rehab therapies at Linwood House are designed to help you heal on every level – physically, emotionally and mentally. This approach ensures that you address not just the symptoms of Spice abuse but the root causes as well.

Some of the key treatment approaches include:

One-on-one therapy: This gives you a safe space to talk about your struggles and start to make sense of how you ended up addicted to Spice. It is a chance to confront your past, understand your triggers and pave the way for real change.
Group therapy: Group sessions offer a chance to connect with others who are going through similar challenges. Sharing your journey can spark new insights, show you that you are definitely not alone and build a sense of community and support.
Family therapy: Family therapy involves your loved ones in your recovery process, helping to rebuild trust and giving you a chance to really talk. It helps to mend broken relationships and strengthen your support system at home.
Holistic approaches: Techniques like mindfulness, meditation and yoga therapy help you reconnect with yourself in a calm and centred way. These practices teach you how to find peace within, making it easier to handle Spice cravings and anxiety as you recover.
Relapse prevention planning: This helps you to identify potential triggers and develop a solid plan to avoid relapse. By learning how to handle risky situations, you will be better prepared to stay on track once you leave Spice rehab.
