Renewed Life Center Programme — Safe Detox Support, Psychotherapy, Family Support
Drug addiction (Substance Use Disorder) is not a pursuit of pleasure, nor is it a moral failure. It is a condition where chemical substances can hijack the brain’s reward system. Over time, priorities can shift so that obtaining the substance feels more important than career, family, and even personal wellbeing.
At Renewed Life Center, we understand how incredibly difficult it is to break this cycle alone. The cravings associated with drug addiction can be so intense that willpower is rarely enough. We offer a comprehensive programme in a safe, private environment where you can navigate withdrawal with proper support, uncover the root causes of use, and gain tools for a stable life without substances.
Important for loved ones: Addiction often leads people to hide the truth, break promises, or behave in ways that feel out of character. These are common symptoms of the condition, not their true personality. If you are exhausted from fear and trying to control the situation — we are here to help. We will explain your options and guide you on the next step. This is strictly confidential. Your first consultation is free.
Who is this programme for
Attempting to quit at home often ends in relapse because access to the substance remains open, and triggers in your environment have not changed. Our intensive programme can be the right solution if:
The substance is the centre of life: Your thoughts and plans are constantly occupied with finding or using drugs.
Tolerance is rising: The old amount no longer provides the same effect, and you may need more just to feel “normal.”
There is fear of withdrawal: You are afraid to stop because of severe discomfort, panic, low mood, or insomnia.
Destruction is visible: Use has begun to damage your health, mental stability, finances, or relationships.
Previous attempts failed: You have tried to quit on your own or reduce harm, but it did not hold.
Dual Diagnosis is present: Your addiction goes hand-in-hand with depression, PTSD, anxiety, or burnout.
Do I need help? (Warning Signs)
- Loss of control: You promised yourself you would not use today, but you did it anyway.
- Intense cravings: The urge becomes intrusive and hard to ignore.
- Secrecy: You have started lying to loved ones, hiding money, or living a “double” life.
- Changing circle: Old friends disappear and are replaced by people linked to using.
- Emotional volatility: Sharp swings from euphoria to aggression or deep apathy.
- High-risk behaviour: You take serious risks that lead to debt, conflict, or legal trouble.
- Neglect: Work, sport, or family commitments have faded into the background.
I Recognise These Warning Signs
Why do we look at the root cause? (Dual Diagnosis)
Drugs are often a form of self-medication. People may use cocaine to feel productive, opiates to numb emotional pain, or marijuana to reduce anxiety.
At Renewed Life Center, we treat dual diagnosis when it is present. We identify and address the underlying issues that make you want to escape reality:- Chronic anxiety and panic symptoms.
- Depressive symptoms.
- Past abuse or trauma (PTSD).
- Emotional burnout
- Confidential history taking (we do not judge, we need accurate information to support you properly).
- Assessment of your current situation and withdrawal risks.
- Creation of a personalised recovery plan.
- For the family: We help structure communication and boundaries, giving you a chance to breathe and stop being the “police.”
- Clinical monitoring and support appropriate to your needs.
- Medication support when clinically indicated and prescribed by a medical professional.
- Stabilising sleep and anxiety to prepare you for therapy.
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy): We work through the thought patterns that lead to using.
- Craving management: We teach specific techniques to ride out urges without relapsing.
- Trigger work: We analyse the people, places, and emotions that trigger you.
- Self-esteem work: We address shame that often fuels addiction.
- Stimulants — cocaine, crack, methamphetamine (meth, “tik”), amphetamine, MDMA (ecstasy), mephedrone.
- Opioids and prescription painkillers — heroin, fentanyl, morphine, codeine, oxycodone, tramadol.
- Depressants and sedatives — benzodiazepines (diazepam, alprazolam, lorazepam, clonazepam), sleeping pills (zolpidem, zopiclone).
- Cannabinoids and synthetic substances — marijuana (weed), hashish, THC concentrates, synthetic cannabinoids (Spice, K2), synthetic drugs.
If the underlying pain is not treated, the pull toward a “quick fix” often returns.
