Rebirth in Recovery
Many individuals who struggle with addiction to drugs or alcohol believe that once they get sober, they will never have to worry about substance abuse again. However, the underlying causes of addiction need to be addressed during treatment as well.
After getting sober, those in recovery should work through the reasons why they began abusing drugs or alcohol. Some of the things that might be addressed in addiction treatment therapy programs include:
- Past trauma
- Family issues
- Mental health conditions
Rebirth involves more than just sobriety. True growth in recovery requires individuals to commit to personal reflection and self-care.
Growth and Sobriety Steps
There are several steps you can expect in your recovery journey.
- Acknowledging that you need help – This might take place during an intervention or could be a realization you come to on your own
- Detox – During the detox process, you’ll purge drugs and alcohol from your system and begin to heal
- Treatment – Look for a treatment center that offers personalized plans and a variety of therapies
- Aftercare – Ongoing care can help you avoid relapse and develop healthy coping skills for life
Addiction recovery is a journey. Your personal growth involves getting to know yourself better and identifying your triggers. You’ll work through past trauma and discover how your experiences might have contributed to substance abuse.
Finally, it’s important to know that lifelong recovery and sobriety takes lifelong work. Addiction is a chronic disease that requires ongoing care. This doesn’t mean that relapse is inevitable, but that you should work to implement healthy coping skills and relapse prevention plans into your everyday life. Some copings skills that could help you maintain your sobriety and personal growth journey include ongoing therapy, 12-step meetings, meditation, yoga, and giving back by mentoring someone else in recovery.
Aftercare programs benefit those in recovery by offering ongoing support and accountability. Many individuals live in recovery residences, also known as sober living homes, while in outpatient treatment or as they transition back to everyday life. These residences can help them maintain sobriety and continue their personal growth.
