Detox and rehab facilities are also an important piece to recovery. Detox rids the body of the addictive substances and allows for a reset. It is the first step to getting healthy and sober.
Rehab provides education on how to avoid relapse and achieve long-term sobriety. After training the body to live without the addictive substance, it is important to train the brain how to live a sober lifestyle as well.
Recovery meetings like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous give a structured, 12-step program to help change the mindset of addiction and overcome powerful cravings. These meetings also provide a strong community of other recovering addicts that can connect with one another and hold each other accountable.
