4 Meditation Tips Can Contribute towards Recovery
2Over 20 million people in America deal with an
alcohol or drug addiction. 6.8 million people who
struggle with alcohol and drug dependency also
suffer from a mental illness.Many things have
been used to help treat the addiction and the
mental diseases that may have caused or developed
from the addiction. A growing trend in the field
is using meditation as a tool in curing
addiction. Mindful meditation is the most
commonly used form of meditation at rehab centers.
3 Meditation Can Also Help with Mental Disease
- Research has commonly shown that people who
meditate have lower levels of stress and anxiety.
Stress and anxiety are common sources or symptoms
of depression, anxiety disorders, and a number of
other mental disorders. - Stress and guilt also occur when dealing with the
consequences of addiction, enhancing mental
disorders. Patients may relapse simply to deal
with the overwhelming amount of depression or
anxiety they feel through the recovery process. - It is not used as a replacement for other
treatment methods, but in addition to these other
methods.
4Self-Awareness
- Meditation allows the person in recovery to
really take some time every day to think clearly.
- They can spend time with their own mind and find
out the reasons why they started abusing
substances in the first place. - Yes, patients may attempt to do this with their
therapist and in group settings. These social
settings are also great places for people to look
internally. However, sometimes people feel more
open when they are thinking by themselves. - They may consider things that they wouldnt feel
comfortable talking about to their therapist or
in group therapy. Or, they may think of something
by themselves that they couldnt bring out in
other settings.
5Meditation Shows Commitment
- If someone is involved in meditation in addition
to the other aspects of their recovery, it shows
that the patient is committed and serious about
their recovery. This is something that the
patient does on their free time by themselves. - Patients who are adding meditation to their
recovery plan (not substituting anything else
with it) are showing a dedication to a deeper
understanding of their disease in another way. - Meditation is a very personal thing. People
contemplate about different things when they
meditate. Everyone also has their own personal
experience in their recovery and their personal
lives. Taking the time to deal with these
serious, personal thoughts means that a person
wants to better their mental health as well as
their addiction.
6 Physical Benefits
- When someone feels good physically, it helps them
feel good internally as well. Meditation can make
people breathe better. Some people use yoga and
more physical forms of meditation instead of
simple motionless contemplation. - These types of meditation also allow somebody to
improve flexibility, heart rate, and increase
endorphins.
- Drug rehab centers everywhere are encouraging
people to incorporate meditation into their
recovery plans.
7- The stress-relief benefits alone are an extreme
benefit to the recovery process. There is a lot
of stress associated with getting off of a
substance and managing cravings. - Meditation can help relieve the stress and
control thoughts and behavior. - Do not think that meditation is the only or best
way to manage addiction. Other things, such as
group therapy, talk therapy, and even possibly
replacement therapy may be required as well.
