Substance Abuse Therapy Activity Programs

Learning how to have fun without drugs and alcohol is an important step in the substance abuse therapy and recovery process. Our approach to drug treatment therapy through sports and recreational activities provides patients with the opportunity to learn a new skill, brush up on an old one, or simply remain in shape. Since exercise triggers the brain’s natural "feel good" chemical, enjoyable physical activities are encouraged for lifelong recovery from substance abuse. All alcohol and drug treatment patients in recovery therapy activities receive an individual recreation assessment as well as a healthy living and recreation plan upon discharge from the drug treatment program.

Our substance abuse therapy programs balance the rigors of drug treatment with some recreational fun. Just a few of the recovery therapy activities in which patients participate are:

  • Anger Management
  • Art Therapy
  • Auricular Acupuncture
  • Karaoke
  • Relaxation and Meditation
  • Softball
  • Stress Release Exercise
  • Tennis
  • Volleyball
  • Weight Training
  • Yoga
Megan Ryder's therapy dogs, Lil Miss Priss (smelling flower) and Poindexter, are frequent visitors who cheer Brighton's patients.

 

Although these activities are designed to be pleasurable, they also teach critical skills needed for substance abuse recovery. We feel strongly that enjoyable activities while in drug treatment therapy results in a healthier and happier lifestyle and a more sustainable recovery from substance abuse.
