Integrating Fitness into Addiction Recovery

YOGA AND ADDICTION RECOVERY. By the time addiction takes hold, the brain chemistry has been altered and physical cravings have become so severe that they can seem to control an addict's behavior, despite one's best intentions. Although denial plays an enormous part in addiction, many individuals are unaware of how chemical dependency affects their body and the steps they can take to successfully pursue wellness. Simply put, they don't know how to feel good anymore. Yoga provides a variety of healing benefits, including:

PHYSICAL BALANCE AND BODILY CLEANSING. Yoga can be an invaluable supplement to the detox process. Different body positions can improve the condition and function of specific parts of the body and major organs, aiding to significantly quicken the detoxification process.

STRESS MANAGEMENT. The breathing and concentration exercises learned in yoga can help patients learn to process stress and adversity in a healthy and responsible manner. This serves patients throughout their recovery journey and is a practice they can take with them even after they leave treatment and encounter circumstances that make them vulnerable to relapse.

ALIGNMENT OF MIND AND BODY. Yoga focuses equally on the mind and the body, and is an ideal tool for patients looking to heal on all levels. It offers a combination of physical and emotional support found in no other type of exercise or therapy. Although yoga has only recently been incorporated into addiction treatment, many patients of all backgrounds prefer this form of additional therapy.
