Detox

  Stimulant Detox
  
  There are varying degrees of stimulant drugs – from legal prescription stimulants like Adderall, Ritalin, and Concerta, to illicit drugs like meth, ecstasy, and cocaine. Regardless of the substance being abused, all can lead to stimulant addiction and you may experience stimulant withdrawal symptoms if you try to quit.

Eating Disorders
- Anorexia Nervosa
  
  Anorexia nervosa led to the hospitalisation of almost five and a half thousand people in the UK between 2021 and 2022 and affects many of the 1.25 million people who suffer from eating disorders.
  
  ARFID
  
  ARFID is not just about being picky with food; it is a serious condition that can significantly disrupt your daily life. The good news is that there is hope. With professional treatment like that offered at Banbury Lodge.
  
  Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
  
  Binge eating disorder affects 2% of people in the UK which makes it more common than bulimia and anorexia combined. Despite its prevalence, binge eating disorder often remains in the shadows of public discourse and is thus widely misunderstood and underestimated.
  
  Bulimia Nervosa
  
  Bulimia nervosa is a condition often shrouded in misconceptions, yet it significantly impacts lives in the UK and globally. While bulimia can be a constant daily struggle, there is a beacon of hope.
  
  Night Eating Syndrome (NES)
  
  Are you feeling lost in the night, struggling with eating habits that seem out of your control? Then, you may be dealing with night eating syndrome (NES), a condition that is all too often misunderstood and overlooked compared to more famous eating disorders.
  
  Orthorexia
  
  Most of us are trying to make the best choices when it comes to eating healthily. But when does this healthy habit turn into something more concerning? This is where understanding orthorexia, or orthorexia nervosa, becomes crucial.
  
  OSFED
  
  OSFED may not have the same level of awareness as other eating disorders, but its effects on sufferers can be no less significant. Unfortunately, this lack of awareness and understanding can lead to sufferers isolating themselves from those who want to help them.
  
  PICA
  
  We all have our preferences regarding food; one person’s delicacy is another person’s dietary disaster. However, Pica is about more than just eating unusual food; it is a serious eating disorder that can cause significant stress and potential harm.
  
  Purging Disorder
  
  Better-known eating disorders often overshadow purging disorder, but their unique challenges and impacts can be particularly devastating. If you are grappling with purging disorder, it might feel like you’re alone in a relentless struggle.
  
  Rumination Disorder
  
  Rumination disorder is when food is repeatedly regurgitated, swallowed, or spat out. Often overshadowed in the realm of eating disorders, the condition can cause significant distress, impacting your daily life in profound ways.
  
  UFED
  
  There is a whole range of complex but misunderstood conditions which can also cause enormous distress and destruction. This is called UFED, an unspecified feeding or eating disorder, and it represents a category of eating disorders that are not easily classified due to their varied and non-specific symptoms.
Mental Health
- Dual Diagnosis
  
  Dual diagnosis is the complex interplay of simultaneous mental health and addiction disorders. It is crucial to understand that these aren’t separate battles; they are two sides of the same coin with the addiction fueling the mental health disorder and vice versa.
  
  ADHD and Addiction
  
  Living with ADHD is a daily challenge that affects every aspect of life, from personal relationships to professional pursuits. When addiction enters the mix, these challenges often magnify, creating a complex cycle of destructive mental health and substance abuse issues.
  
  Anger Management and Addiction
  
  Sadly, anger and addiction often go hand-in-hand, and this can make daily life incredibly hard for the individual with the addiction and their loved ones.
  
  Anxiety and Addiction
  
  We all experience anxiety in certain situations, such as before an important job interview or preparing for a first date. This type of anxiety is a completely normal part of the human experience. Anxiety disorders, however, are a different matter entirely, severely impacting a person’s health, happiness and overall quality of life.
  
  Autism and Addiction
  
  Navigating life with autism brings forth a multitude of obstacles, influencing your perspective and engagement with the world. When coupled with addiction, it can form a reinforcing loop, with each condition exacerbating the other’s impact on your physical and mental health and overall quality of life.
  
  BDD and Addiction
  
  There is a common misconception that individuals with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) are merely preoccupied with vanity or are excessively concerned with their looks. This oversimplification can lead to a misunderstanding of the complexity of BDD and may contribute to the stigma surrounding mental health issues.
  
  Bipolar and Addiction
  
  If you are grappling with bipolar disorder, you will already be well aware of the profound impact it can have on a person’s life. Bipolar disorder is one of the most complex and misunderstood mental health conditions, characterised by extreme fluctuations in mood, energy and ability to function.
  
  Borderline Personality Disorder and Addiction
  
  If you are grappling with bipolar disorder, you will already be well aware of the profound impact it can have on a person’s life. Bipolar disorder is one of the most complex and misunderstood mental health conditions, characterised by extreme fluctuations in mood, energy and ability to function.
  
  Codependency and Addiction
  
  Codependency is one of the least discussed mental health conditions but it has a huge impact on sufferers and those closest to them. Living with codependency on its own can be tough enough but when addiction is also present, the outlook can be even bleaker.
  
  Depression and Addiction
  
  In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the complexities of depression and addiction. When they occur together, the need for support becomes even more crucial.
  
  Grief and Addiction
  
  Grief, unfortunately, is a natural part of life that all of us go through at some point. Some can cope with grief in their own way and emerge successfully, but this is not always the case for others.
  
  Insomnia and Addiction
  
  According to research findings, roughly 10% of the global population displays symptoms of insomnia, suggesting a medical condition. Interestingly, individuals involved in substance use experience higher rates of sleep disturbances.
  
  OCD and Addiction
  
  It’s reported that in the UK alone, about 250,000 people live with OCD. The condition doesn’t discriminate, affecting young children and adults regardless of gender or background.
  
  PTSD and Addiction
  
  Coping with PTSD is tough, and it often comes with an added hurdle – the likelihood of co-occurring addiction. The combination intensifies the difficulty of recovery, forming a challenging cycle where each issue reinforces the other.
  
  Schizophrenia and Addiction
  
  Today, our understanding of schizophrenia has progressed significantly from the 20th century when individuals with the condition were often stigmatised as simply ‘crazy.’ Many people with schizophrenia now lead fulfilling lives through effective management.
  
  Self Harm and Addiction
  
  Self-harm issues are incredibly challenging for anyone to navigate, and when compounded with addiction, life can become even more complex. However, effective treatments are available to help you overcome this dual diagnosis.
  
  Stress and Addiction
  
  Regrettably, many individuals resort to substance abuse as a means of coping with stressful situations. This is a significant factor contributing to the prevalence of dual diagnoses involving both stress and addiction.
  
  Suicide and Addiction
  
  More than 700,000 people pass away due to suicide every year. This number doesn’t take into consideration the attempts either, which are, unfortunately, in the millions. Heartbreakingly, many of these suicidal actions are paired with substance abuse, which shows a clear connection between suicide and addiction.
