Healthy Living Is Important To Remaining Sober
Incorporating a health and wellness program into an intensive therapeutic program for substance use/abuse is critical for the overall treatment plan of individuals and allows them to remain sober long after they have left our wellness detox clinic.
Most addiction rehab professionals understand that paying attention and prioritizing our client’s body, mind and spirit thoroughly has an exceptional effect on long-term recovery and is just as important as the therapeutic component. Having the combination of body, mind, and spirit creates a more comfortable and engaging therapy for clients, where they will acknowledge that overall well-being and happiness can come from the simplest things.
Counseling and therapy are key components of an addiction recovery treatment program. Individuals who are in recovery are taught healthy ways to cope with difficult emotions and behaviors. However, it is hard for a malnourished brain and body to fully engage in treatment and learn the necessary tools to heal.
When an individual with addiction problems decides to receive guidance for their drug and or alcohol addiction, he or she will begin a gradual process to reach their full recovery potential which includes several steps.
A significant step that sometimes goes unnoticed is the status of the client’s nutritional health. The main priority of the Recreational Therapy Program is to improve and/or maintain physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual functioning in our clients.
