Through out the recovery process, it is extremely important to focus on the positive aspects of yourself and your situation. Drug addiction treatment can bring a lot of emotional struggles, as part of recovering from drugs and alcohol involves recovering from the emotional impact that an alcohol or substance use disorder has. In recovery, you may be dealing with a range of emotional symptoms of withdrawal, including rebound anxiety, depression, and an increase in mental health disorder symptoms.
In our programs, we use intensive therapies to address substance abuse and uncover its root cause. We provide a range of therapies, including: individual therapy sessions, group therapy, behavioral therapies, adventure therapy, activity therapy, and equine therapy. Our intensive therapies may bring up and explore strong emotions, which can be intense. Through out the recovery process, it is important to celebrate your achievements and use positive affirmations to remain in a positive mindset.
What are Positive Affirmations?
Positive affirmations are positive statements that can help to combat negative thinking. We encourage guests to use positive affirmations to help aid them in making positive changes in their lives. Positive affirmations are basically reminding yourself of all the good things about you, and encourage you to keep moving forward in challenging times.
How do Positive Affirmations Work?
Telling yourself positive things actually prepare the brain for change. Studies show that using positive affirmations make it easier to make positive changes. Using positive affirmations change your neuroplasticity, or the science of rewiring your brain for different patterns of thought.
Here are positive affirmations to use in drug addiction treatment:
- I can be what I will to be
- I am whole perfect strong powerful loving harmonious and I feel happy
- today I am better and better
- today I began a new life
- I make healthy choices
- now, you fill in the rest…..
