Researchers suggest that holistic therapy can help improve your overall mental health and can help with addiction, depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, and cognitive function. Pacific Breeze Recovery integrates holistic therapies throughout our entire curriculum to promote the highest level of care toward each individual and help maintain long-term sobriety after leaving our addiction recovery center in Huntington Beach, California.
The Importance of Healthy Outlets
We understand the significance of healthy outlets in addiction recovery. Engaging in activities such as exercise and mindfulness practices is vital during and after your stay at our residential treatment center. These outlets not only help manage cravings and stress but also promote physical and emotional well-being. Exercise releases endorphins that improve mood, while creative pursuits allow for self-expression and emotional processing. By incorporating these healthy habits into daily routines, individuals can foster resilience and build a balanced, fulfilling life.
Meditation
Meditation has been given scientific research and is supported by its effectiveness in addiction recovery. Meditation has been proven to support addiction recovery by helping you to feel calm, cope with triggers, and avoid relapse. Meditation does not replace a comprehensive treatment plan with professional support; however, meditation can be a valuable holistic tool.
Meditation involves self-discipline to connect with your inner emotions without judgment. It also incorporates mindfulness, which is a form of meditation and allows you to experience the present moment with openness and acceptance.
Mindfulness and Meditation in Recovery
At Pacific Breeze Recovery, our compassionate and specialized staff includes meditation in their instruction and programming to teach individuals to pay close attention to internal and external stimuli without judgment and observe physical sensations, breathing, and thoughts.
It is our goal at our residential treatment center for everyone to experience life presently. To be able to manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms by fostering mindfulness and observing cravings without acting on them, reduce the intensity of the cravings, and diminish the cravings overall.
We aim towards a holistic and comprehensive treatment program which both are essential components of addiction recovery. If you or a loved one are struggling with alcohol or substance abuse, please call us today. Lives matter. Let’s begin your recovery today.
Yoga
Yoga is a holistic practice that originated in ancient India. It combines physical postures, breath control, meditation, and ethical principles. Yoga promotes flexibility, strength, and balance. It helps to regulate breathing patterns, calm the mind, and enhance overall well-being. Yoga also aims individuals towards their spiritual side to connect within their inner self and the universe.
