Healthy Living

One of the most important aspects of overcoming drug and alcohol addiction is to have a plan for your future. Our staff here at Avalon Malibu knows that relapse is a common symptom of addiction and may be encountered months or even years down the road. Upon completing our initial detox and full recovery program, we will help you design your aftercare plan before returning to your daily life.

For many people recovering from addiction, the summer may be a particularly difficult time of the year. From graduation parties to outdoor events that may feature alcohol. You may find yourself struggling to find healthy things to do. Our healthy activities program focuses on teaching clients how to live a healthy and sober life both during treatment and after completing treatment for their addictions. Here are several of the current healthy activities that you can do with family and friends or on your own to maintain your healthy lifestyle without drugs and alcohol:

If you are like many people suffering from drug or alcohol addiction, you may be wondering how yoga will help you to heal. Upon entering our holistic treatment program, you will notice we don’t take a standard approach to recovery. Many recovery programs use medications to slowly wean the patient from their addictions while focusing on counseling and therapy sessions. We prefer to take an individualistic, holistic approach to recovery. This approach includes diet changes, therapy sessions, and relaxation exercises such as yoga.

If you are suffering from a drug or alcohol addiction, there is a good chance you are also suffering from poor nutrition. Many of our patients have neglected their nutritional health during the time of their addiction. Malnutrition doesn’t always mean that you are underweight. Many people who suffer from poor nutrition are overweight. We realize the important role of nutrition in addiction treatment and work to improve the nutritional health of each patient. In this entry we will show the importance of nutrition while in recovery from addiction.
