St. Petersburg Relapse Prevention

Before entering into a St. Petersburg Alcohol Rehabilitation and Drug Treatment Facility, many individuals who have an addiction to drugs or alcohol find that they are unable to quit using on their own. Often times, they become discouraged by their inability to remain strong and resist cravings that they experience while trying to get clean. Alcohol Rehabilitation and Drug Treatment Programs in St. Petersburg provide those who have a drug addiction the stability and professional relapse prevention skills they need to help them on their path to recovery.

What do you learn about relapse prevention while in St. Petersburg Drug Treatment and Alcohol Rehab Facilities? Drug Treatment and Alcohol Rehab Facility Relapse Prevention Tips:

Exercise: It sounds simple, and it is. It is proven to work for people who are quitting smoking and smoking is one of the strongest addictions there are. Take a walk around the block or do some other simple exercise.

Socialize: With NEW people! Going back to the people you hung out with to do drugs is almost certainly going to lead you to a relapse. Go to some public events and meet some new people.

Change your environment: This can take on several different levels. You can start by rearranging your furniture and fixing the place up. You also need to change the environment where you spend a lot of time. Don't go back to the old places where the urge to do drugs may be too strong. Try going to some new places and doing new things. Go to a ballgame or to a museum or even a movie.

Minimize Boredom: Boredom is never a good thing. Chances are, if you get bored, it will increase the chances that you will get an urge for drugs. Take up doing crossword puzzles or other games, for example. Keeping yourself busy will help prevent drug addiction relapse.

Eat Better: No one expects you to change every aspect of your diet. It would be wise to throw in a few more fruits and vegetables. Maybe you could drink a couple more glasses of water a day. You may be amazed at how good it can make you feel.

Get Close to People: No need to go out on a hug-fest but let people in. Build strong and healthy relationships with people who are not drug addicts. Get a Mentor: They help you through the rough times and they understand what you are going through. They can be real lifesavers when the urges for drugs or alcohol become overwhelming.

Believe in yourself: Poor self-esteem may very well be what leads people into drug addiction in the first place. Have faith in yourself and don't put yourself down. You are on the right road and doing the right thing.
