Basic Relaxation Technique & Tips

Numerous studies have proven that correct, intentional breathing is a powerful tool for reducing stress and promoting health. At Reflections Recovery, we use a program known as Breathe work Therapy as our main relaxation therapy for treating addiction. When the body and mind are truly relaxed, often deeper issues rise to the surface of the conscious mind, where they can be used to actively engage a client’s process of recovery.

Addiction Treatment Through Relaxation Technique

Addicts in recovery face unprecedented levels of stress, which is a huge roadblock to successful substance abuse treatment. The stress of their cravings, the stress of the expectations of loved ones and employers, and the stress of realizing goals can be major impediments to addiction rehab.Stressful feelings can become overwhelming early in the recovery process, however, managing those feelings of stress ultimately leads to diminished feelings of addiction. Numerous studies have proven that correct, intentional breathing is a powerful tool for reducing stress and promoting health. When the body and mind are truly relaxed, deeper issues often rise to the surface of the conscious mind, where they can be used to actively engage a client’s process of recovery.

Relaxation Therapy for drug treatment or alcohol treatment is important because the stress must be processed, not ignored or covered up. By teaching these relaxation skills, we empower our clients with tools they can use for life, not just for their initial recovery.At Reflections Recovery Center, we use Breathwork Therapy as our main relaxation technique in our addiction therapy program.
