Because of this, it’s essential to identify the correlation between your thoughts and actions. Being able to recognize thought patterns that trigger your addiction – and correct them – is key to helping you to break the psychological cycle of substance abuse.

CBT begins with an assessment of your pattern of addictive behavior. By determining the common factors surrounding your drug and alcohol abuse, we help you identify your triggers. Many emotions or events – depression, stress, anxiety, even celebratory occasions – can be the root cause of your addiction and can become detrimental to the recovery process if not addressed in therapy. Learning to recognize these sources of your triggers is an important step in breaking the cycle so you can begin reclaiming control of your actions.

Working It Out
Once sober, many recovering addicts find they have more energy. Exercise (in moderation, of course) has benefits - it not only reduces cravings and physical aches and pains but is a healthy way to put that energy to use. ClearView encourages its clients to practice physical activities and maintain an active lifestyle.
​
Nutrition For Newfound Sobriety
Sometimes clients will still be suffering from malnourishment even after they have become sober It’s hardly surprising, considering that addiction is so preoccupying that nutrition is no longer a priority. Also, many substances prevent the body from absorbing nutrients. We do teach and emphasize healthy eating and what that really means. Your system may be a bit vulnerable during the earliest phases of sobriety, so it’s important to give it the fuel it needs to grow stronger and thrive.
