Recovery - How to Recover from Alcohol and Drug Addictions
Recovery and trying to recover from alcohol or drug addiction or even both can be really tough if you do not have a straight and narrow path to lead you the way!
Support is also very important because most of the time, we all think that we can handle this on our own but this is usually never true. I am also speaking of myself
who happens to be a recovering alcohol and drug addict.
I always thought that i never needed someone elses help but from all of the times i have tried on my own,
it ALWAYS failed! Eventually each failure led me either to an ambulance, a hospital, a psyche ward, jail, or rehab.
If you are truly "Tired of Being Tired".... Please Read On ! :)
Recovery - Getting Sober
The only way to maintain recovery from drug or alcohol addiction is to do it the right way to begin with!
*** The 1st and most important thing to do is to ADMIT THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM AND YOU NEED HELP TO STOP !!! ***
Detox and Recovery
1.Experienced counseling throughout the total process, forestalling relapse and providing a boost to go forward with the drug/alcohol recovery process
2.Healthy, nutrient rich meals (helping to restore strength and speed along the detox process)
3.Medical supervising, twenty-four/seven, to supervise the grimness of any withdrawal symptoms. If it's called for, medicine can be given to assist
4.Please do not try to use recovery by trying to Detox on your own! This can be very dangerous! Please seek help! Go to a hospital (free) and tell them! They HAVE TO TAKE YOU IN!!!
Recovery - Individual Counseling
Through personal Recovery attention, each addict will have the opportunity to receive all of the treatment they need to stay sober.
Alcohol and Drug Addiction is often the symptom of an fundamental disorderliness, such as: Depression
It is very natural for most people to experience depression when in Recovery. Remember that your body is sort of in shock and one of the side effects of this unfortunately is depression.
Over time, it will decrease and go away.
•Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
•Anxiety
•Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
•Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depression)
Recovery - Living Sober
As a person completes the Recovery rehab program, they're prepared to put into action the many exercises learned to live sober. Sober living and Recovery is especially difficult for those first starting out, and this is why it's highly recommended to actively participate in an ongoing support program for drug/alcohol recovery.
The following are just a few of the sober living programs designed for recovering addicts just starting out.
•Recovery Homes
There's an assortment of alternatives for recovery homes, but this is in essence an extension of rehab. A person who is not ready to practice Recovery and sober living on their own will benefit from the elongated training, guidance, and particularly the high level of restriction from relapse.
Sober living is easier the longer you do it, and a recovery home is a residential support program that makes it close to impossible for relapse to happen. Counseling, positive activities, career training, and nutritious dining are just a couple of of the additional benefits that an individual will receive in a recovery home.
Recovery - Companion
The job of a sober companion is to provide full time direction, encouragement, accompaniment, and limitation for those just beginning in recovery from drug/alcohol addiction (after rehab.)
*** This is definitely recommended especially if you feel that you need more time or are not yet ready to face the outside world alone. ***
Recovery - Sober Assistance
A sober coach is the best option for an individual with full confidence and willingness to live sober on their own.
This program offers support (reminding each patient of the consequences of relapse along with the positive effects of living sober,) restriction (each individual will be monitored for drug or alcohol use) and freedom to make the right choices.
What to Expect from Drug/Alcohol Recovery Programs
The most important element of any support program is that it trains the individual to be self-sustaining. Recovery from drug or alcohol addiction is dependent on the wish of someone to utilize the exercises, training, and strength it takes to overcome the urge to relapse and to live the best life possible.
