The importance of legal high addiction treatment

Choosing legal high recovery is a brave and significant step, but willpower alone often isn’t enough. Withdrawal symptoms throw some people off course, while those who manage to push through this phase often discover that the real challenge is yet to come. After thinking they were in the clear, unresolved emotional triggers suddenly flared up, leading to a discouraging legal high relapse.
That is why professional treatment for legal high addiction is so vital. At Recovery Lighthouse, we help you conquer withdrawal and then work through your personal challenges. By understanding your unique triggers and teaching you to handle them, we make sure legal highs can’t worm their way back in. With expert treatment and ongoing support, you will be free to focus on rebuilding your life.

Is legal high addiction treatment right for you?

Acknowledging that legal highs have taken over can be easier said than done. Denial might convince you that the situation is manageable, while fear and shame can stop you from reaching out. But recognising the toll that drugs are taking on your life is a crucial first step to legal high recovery. Here are some signs it’s time to seek help:

  • You can’t imagine functioning without legal highs in your system
  • You’re spending more money on legal highs than you can afford
  • You’re hiding your use or making excuses to avoid loved ones’ concerns
  • Your life at work, school or home are in tatters
  • You have resorted to dishonest or illegal means to fund your legal high habit
  • Your social life revolves around others who use drugs instead of those who care about you
  • Legal high withdrawal symptoms like fatigue, anxiety or cravings overwhelm you when you try to stop

If this all resonates, our legal high addiction treatment can help you move past these issues and reclaim your life.

Phase one: Legal high detox

Detox is the first step in saying goodbye to legal highs for good. It is when your body begins to flush out the drug and adjust to life without it. This sounds simple enough, but withdrawal can cause everything from restless nights and exhaustion to severe depression or paranoia.

At Recovery Lighthouse, make sure legal high detox is manageable with symptom management and constant emotional support. Detox is tough, but with the right help, it is also the start of a fresh new chapter.

What happens during legal high detox?

Given the variety of substances classified as legal highs, withdrawal can vary wildly from person to person. Symptoms might start within hours or take a few days to show up, with the peak usually occurring between the second and third day.
Physical legal high withdrawal symptoms like headaches, nausea or shakiness often fade within a week. However, the emotional toll like cravings, anxiety and feelings of emptiness can be more stubborn.
This makes professional guidance essential, as having our experts on hand can help you work through both the physical and psychological challenges.

Phase two: Legal high rehab

The journey doesn’t stop after you have conquered legal detox. Legal high rehab is where you move beyond the physical and into the heart of what’s driving your legal high use. Maybe it started as a way to keep up with life’s demands or to ease the burden of mental or emotional issues. Legal high rehab allows you to figure it all out and improve your ability to face life and win.

During legal high rehab, you will work on healing every part of your life.  Our inpatient programmes ensure you have the time, focus and support to make lasting progress. You will rebuild your self-esteem, have the chance to repair strained relationships and gain the confidence needed for whatever comes next.

What happens during legal high rehab?

At Recovery Lighthouse, each day brings a variety of treatment therapies and activities, all designed for legal high recovery. Here is just some of what you can expect:

Group therapy
Group sessions are for creating a space where you can connect with other people in recovery. Sharing your experiences and hearing about theirs reminds you that you are not the first person to struggle and provides a powerful support system to lean on during rehab.
One-to-one therapy
In one-to-one therapy, it’s all about you. This is your time to work with a therapist to explore why legal highs became a crutch and how to plan a new life without them.
Holistic approaches
True and lasting healing is about rediscovering balance and joy in your life. Holistic therapies like yoga, meditation, sound therapy and art offer new ways to relax, recharge and get to know your true self better.
Family therapy
Family therapy is a chance to rebuild trust and strengthen your relationships. It involves your loved ones in the treatment process so they can become invaluable recovery allies.

Can I detox from legal highs at home?
Detoxing from legal highs at home can sound like a tempting option – familiar surroundings, no travel and maybe even some money saved.

This involves different payment plans and insurance support to ensure that cost doesn’t stand in your way.
Do all legal highs need detox?
This really depends on the substance. Some legal highs don’t cause physical withdrawal but may need psychological support. Others, like Spice, can trigger severe symptoms that make a monitored detox the safest and most effective option. Recovery Lighthouse can help you figure out whether legal high detox is right for your situation.
