New Alternative Therapies Promote Health at Drug Rehab Center Frederick
Frederick, MD (PRWEB) September 27, 2013 -- Drug Rehab Center Frederick has begun incorporating more alternative therapies into their treatment programs in order to emphasize health and sobriety.
Many people believe that health and sobriety go hand in hand, but the addiction recovery specialists at Drug Rehab Center Frederick know all too well that this is not always the case. Nicole R., a certified addiction specialist, explains, “Many recovering addicts will replace their old unhealthy habits with newer ones. For example, someone with an alcohol problem will often begin drinking a large amount of soda or energy drinks to replace their alcohol consumption, or will eat a lot of junk food instead.” For this reason, Drug Rehab Center Frederick has begun to offer various alternative therapies to their patients in an effort to curb the creation of unhealthy habits while at rehab.
Many of the activities available to patients involve healthy and relaxing forms of exercise. Yoga, for example, can aid in the process of becoming sober and be continued outside of rehab to help a recovering addict stay away from drugs and alcohol while staying fit and healthy. Patients at Drug Rehab Center Frederick can also take part in other forms of exercise. Meditation is also offered, and is a healthy practice patients are encouraged to continue after they leave.
Nutrition also plays a large part in recovery at Drug Rehab Center Frederick, especially for patients who abuse drugs or alcohol to manage physical pain. Nicole describes the effect a change in diet can have, “A poor diet can sometimes contribute to medical issues, which is why when someone has an addiction to prescription medication, we work with them to develop a nutrition plan in addition to therapeutic and coping mechanisms to help them manage their pain or illness naturally.”
It is not only exercise, nutrition, and meditation that promote a healthy lifestyle at Drug Rehab Center Frederick. Alternative therapies like art and music are available. These therapeutic hobbies are fun, relaxing, and healthy alternatives to things like drugs, alcohol, and junk food. If you or a loved one would like to overcome an addiction and begin a newer, healthier lifestyle, Drug Rehab Center Frederick encourages you to check out their various treatment options as soon as possible.
