5 Things to Know About Recovering from a Chemical Dependency

April 18, 2018 | by Haven Staff

Whether someone is attending inpatient services at a top rated sober living facility or has just realized they want to stop drinking so much, the journey to sobriety requires life changes that impact nearly every aspect of life. Learning more about what to expect during and after treatment for chemical dependency is the first step toward making those changes.

1. RECOVERY REQUIRES COMMITMENT

During treatment, a wide range of supportive services are available to make staying sober a little easier. After leaving the treatment center, daily challenges can be a little overwhelming. A personal commitment to staying sober is one of the best tools available for facing and managing the challenges associated with recovering from addiction.

2. ADDICTION RESURFACES IN NEW WAYS

Addiction often resurface in unexpected ways after a person stops using drugs or alcohol. For instance, addictive behaviors like compulsive shopping can replace an addiction to drugs or alcohol. Being aware of how the addiction affects every aspect of life is often essential to avoid addictive behaviors after ending a chemical dependency.

3. RECOVERY IS LIFE CHANGING

Chemical dependencies often take most of the available time, energy and money in a person's life, leaving recovering addicts with gaps to fill in their new lifestyle. After treatment, taking steps to find healthy ways to fill those gaps is an important step toward controlling cravings and resisting temptations. Developing a healthier lifestyle is sometimes difficult at first, but committing to a daily routine often becomes easier over time.

4. EACH PERSON'S PATH IS UNIQUE

Although addiction is a disease that affects millions of people around the world, everyone who enters recovery has a unique path to sobriety. Top rated sober living facilities often personalized treatment plans that emphasize personal strengths and provide tools for overcoming challenges.

RECOVERING FROM ADDICTION IS PERSONAL AND REQUIRES PERSONALIZED CARE.

During treatment, standard care includes group therapy, one-on-one-therapy and special services like nutritional counseling address the personal challenges each person faces on their road to recovery.

5. SUPPORT FOR ADDICTION RECOVERY

Finding help from the top rated sober living facilities in Utah provides the support needed for a successful recovery. Counseling, inpatient treatment, or outpatient therapy are just a few of the options available to help overcome a chemical dependency, or to provide support to help those who want to stop drinking so much.

Call The Haven to begin the journey to a drug-free lifestyle. Help is also available to treat and prevent relapse.
