California Drug Rehab Uses Surfing to Overcome Addiction and Alcoholism

Spiritual surfing classes effectively treat addiction at California Drug Rehab

A California drug rehab has found a powerful connection between learning to surf and maintaining sobriety.  Sober Living by the Sea has been helping men and women achieve long term sobriety and abstinence from eating disorders for almost 25 years here in Newport Beach, and rewarding physical fitness activities are a cornerstone of this recovery program at the drug and alcohol treament centers.

Sober Living by the Sea also finds that cultural, spiritual, social, and esteem building activities help men and women quit drinking and using drugs.  In the weekly surfing expedition, the clients who are in recovery at Sober Living by the Sea will build esteem by learning something new, experience the fun and vibrant culture of Orange County's surf environment, and be very social as they cheer each other on throughout their lessons.  Of course, being in the Pacific Ocean at sunrise is a spiritual experience, as is watching the birds and dolphins which are swimming around.

This rehab activity is part of a very thorough and intensive drug treatment program at Sober Living by the Sea. This California drug rehab has a large staff of addictions experts and the latest treatment techniques are utilized around the clock to help men and women address underlying issues that cause them to drink and abuse drugs.  Sober Living by the Sea has found that there are only so many hours a day  that men and women can participate in clinical therapy activities, 12-step meetings, educational lectures, and workshops.  Sober Living by the Sea's secret to successful outcomes lies in their ability to break up these positive therapeutic processes often and show clients how to have fun in sobriety.
