Drugs ruin more than just our favorite movies. You'd think that all the attention these celebrity drug-induced deaths have caused, that people would stop experimenting with drugs and avoid that whole, awful lifestyle completely.
Method 1: Education.
First, personal hygiene may take a dive. Someone who is normally clean and well-dressed may take a turn towards the pig pen. Their clothing style may change dramatically, and they may take less notice or care over their hair, makeup, or hygiene.
Being stressed or, conversely, being bored are triggers for many people to act on their addiction. The action of recreation, far beyond simply being pleasurable, gets recovering individuals into the habit of turning to activity rather than their addiction when feeling stressed or bored. In this way, recreational therapy professionals are able to steer the stress or boredom of people who are recovering from addictions into productive and fun channels of action. The goal of most recreational therapy programs is to promote fun and sober activities, instill hope into those who have lost it through providing an improved quality of life, and offer outlets for additive behavior into areas of recreational activity.
Recreational activity focuses on building lasting and healthy relationships between individuals as well as developing trust in oneself and the will power to accomplish difficult tasks. Recreational therapy likewise enables a person to develop skills in an activity or sports that simultaneously create a sense of reliability and independence in the life of the recovering individual.
Basically, any extreme behavioral change in any direction may be an indicator of drug addiction. This could be excessive carelessness, anger, mood swings, depression, euphoria, over-sensitivity, and so on. These mood swings/alterations will usually lead to self-isolation and a degradation of relationships. This includes family relationships, friendships, and professional relationships. It is not uncommon for them to start skipping school or work, being late or keeping odd schedules.
Those benefits that empower an individual to limit their need for the addictive substance or action include the ability of recreational therapy to reduce boredom, maintain a fun environment without the use of substances and while sober, increase feelings of self-control and discipline, and improves problem solving skills that can help the individual think through their actions before taking them. The benefits of recreational therapy that help develop the individual as a whole include the benefits of improved social skills, learning how to interact with people who are drug free, decrease loneliness, and improve self-esteem.
While many people see playing their favorite sport as simply a fun activity, those who are struggling with overcoming addiction can find relief from their burdens by enrolling themselves in a recreational therapy program and start down the path to recovery.
