Structure and Self Esteem Building Essential Components of Recovery at Drug Rehab in California
For many drug addicts and alcoholics there are countless
factors that contributed to their disease but among the most common are
a lack of structure and low self-esteem. These two factors are almost
always present in men suffering from addiction and as a drug rehab for
men
Sunrise Recovery, a drug rehab in
California, each patient is
exposed to a treatment program that will not only address addiction but
the contributing factors as well.
Those treatment
programs are
part of the structure that make Sunrise Recovery so effective, building
a positive routine for each patient, something they can continue after
they complete their stay at the Southern California facility.
The structure starts early in the morning as each patient is awoken at
6:30 a.m. and following meditation they are provided a family style
breakfast (lunch and dinner are served in the same manner), they are
then assigned chores that a designed to build self-esteem and instill
accountability after which they are given time to exercise.
Physical health is as important to addiction recovery as anything else
and Sunrise Recovery encourages every patient to take advantage of the
opportunity to swim, work out, play basketball, etc. as a way of
restoring their physical well-being.
Following a couple of recovery sessions patients are provided lunch
after which they continue with their treatment program including step
work and personal reflection. After dinner the patients are often taken
to a 12-step meeting outside of the facility which is then followed up
with free time before lights out.
All of this structure helps built confidence in the patient, knowing
that they can make their days easier by following a schedule that
facilitates their recovery process. This structure is also a valuable
tool in helping shape healthy decision making abilities, something that
is often lost on the suffering addict.
Throughout their time at Sunrise Recovery each patient has a
professional staff, many of whom are recovering drug addicts and
alcoholics, dedicated to providing the necessary tools to better the
chance of a lifetime of sobriety.
Sunrise Recovery is part of the Sober Living by the Sea network of
rehab centers, which has been effectively treating addiction and
alcoholism for over 20 years.
Sunrise Recovery was created to provide a closely monitored and highly
structured primary addiction treatment program for men in a closed and
spiritual natural environment.
