Sober Living Advatages
Support Program
for Continued Recovery
An eye-opening statistic: 40 to 60% of individuals new to recovery relapse within their first 30 days of leaving an inpatient treatment center. Furthermore, up to 85% relapse within their first year. Oftentimes individuals in their initial months of recovery will resume their normal day-to-day lives that they lived prior to recovery with the idea that they can continue to live life without using drugs and alcohol.
Unfortunately, this is not possible for many new to recovery. The first year of recovery is especially fragile and meaningful. It is in this time when people build new life patterns and neurological connections. Studies suggest that once an individual is able to maintain at least 12 months of abstinence, their chances of continued long-term success in sobriety dramatically increase.
Our ways
To reinforce sober living include
- Regularly attending 12-step meetings: these are free meetings with support for members in all phases of recovery. They are an excellent place to meet others who understand what you are going through.
- Revamp your personal and family relationships: Your family and personal relationships may be an excellent source of support.
- Engage in physical exercise like yoga, surfing, golfing, hiking or other group workouts: The benefits are immense and include establishing positive habits, reducing stress, increasing natural endorphins and healing your body as you gain confidence and strength. Immerse yourself with like-minded and health-conscious people.
