Developing healthy habits and routines is absolutely crucial when you’re in recovery. Unfortunately, creating and maintaining these habits can be difficult. Residential treatment is a great option to help you stay on track and develop the balanced lifestyle needed to break the cycle of addiction.
How Are Habits Formed?
According to NIH News in Health, habits play an important role in our health. They “arise through repetition” as a normal part of life. Healthy habits like brushing your teeth, daily exercise, and a good diet can create a sense of balance in your life and support your overall well-being.
Unhealthy habits, however, can also arise through repetition. NIH News in Health says that habits like addiction, overeating, smoking, and gambling are formed when “good or enjoyable events trigger the brain’s ‘reward’ centers.” These pleasure-based habits can often be harder to break.
Balance and Routine in Recovery
According to a 2023 study in Substance Abuse: Research and Treatment, individuals in recovery have “up to 16 to 18 hours of new, unoccupied free time as they no longer require time spent for obtaining, using, and recovering from the effects of substances.”
Developing new, healthy habits to replace newly-found free time is crucial in recovery. Structure and strong support will also help to create new patterns that support lasting sobriety.
