Drug Addiction

Treating recreational drug abuse with CBT and clinical hypnotherapy

Overcome drug addiction with proven therapies

By using a combination of hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) we address the events and influences that drive you to take drugs. We are sensitive to the pressures you may be under and we will help you to structure an alternative way of thinking – letting go of unhealthy negative thoughts and replacing them with a healthy rational alternative

Hypnotherapy and CBT for drug addiction

Your recovery begins with a pre-treatment assessment, during which we will gain a full understanding of your drug abuse: how it began, and what situations or behaviours sustain the addiction.

Why is hypnotherapy and CBT successful at treating drug addiction?

The combination of different therapeutic techniques, including relaxation, self-hypnosis, insight directed psychotherapy, ego strengthening and aversion therapy helps to bring about a gradual and sustainable level of change in you. This gradual change and progress gives you the strength to reduce and eliminate your dependency on drugs.

The power of the therapeutic relationship

The therapeutic relationship between the therapist and patient is crucial in achieving success. At the Apex Practice you will be treated individually and not in a group context. It is this therapeutic alliance that will underpin and encourage your motivation and give you the strength to continue.

About drug addiction

The suffering and unhappiness caused by drug abuse is familiar to all of us. The main features of drug addiction are:

Psychological dependency: there is an emotional need for the drug which decreases feelings of tension and other unpleasant symptoms.

Physical dependency: there are certain physiological changes which take place as a result of drug taking. The physical dependency on drugs can cause withdrawal syptoms as the body is gradually rid of the substance.

Whatever the drug involved, it is essential that treatment adopts a multifaceted approach.
