For some individuals, falling asleep can be a serious challenge. Daily stressors, countless responsibilities, and poor mental health can negatively impact an individual's ability to achieve an adequate amount of sleep. It is common for people to try natural supplements but when all else fails, traditional medicine such as Ambien may seem like the best choice. Although certain sleep medications such as Ambien can be helpful, they can come with serious risks to one's health. Therefore, holistic care at Avalon Malibu can be a safe alternative to prescription medications. Taking a holistic approach can effectively promote better sleep without the harmful side effects of Ambien.

Prolonged addiction can change you as a person. Perhaps your past addictive behaviors destroyed relationships with loved ones, distracted you from your hobbies, and hampered your performance in the workplace. Once treatment is completed and you transition into long-term recovery, reclaiming yourself may seem quite challenging. Becoming who you truly are can be a stressful process. The challenge inherent in self-reflection can even make it more difficult to maintain abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Thus, it is helpful to work on emotion regulation after completing treatment to prevent relapse. Practicing self-help strategies and using aftercare services can help you succeed in finding your identity during recovery.
