The Importance of Sleep Hygiene During Recovery

Our treatment professionals use a whole-person approach. Instead of focusing on abstaining from drug use alone, we help you create habits that support all aspects of your mental and physical health.

This can include sleep hygiene practices.

Relaxation techniques: Establish a bedtime routine that helps you unwind. This may entail gentle stretching, white noise, reading, breathing exercises, or meditation.

Removing electronics from the bedroom: Take all devices out of your room about an hour before bed. This is recommended by sleep experts, as blue light can suppress the production of melatonin (a sleep hormone) in your body.

A sleep schedule: Creating a sleep schedule can help you and your body stay on track. Many people find that it is beneficial to go to bed and wake up at around the same time each day.

FAQs About Alcohol and Fat Burning

How Long After Drinking Alcohol Will Fat Burning Restart?

It is well known that your body will not start to burn fat again until it’s completely done metabolizing alcohol.

Things like your body size, how much you drink, if you stay hydrated while drinking, and your metabolism all play a role. Even so, it can take several hours after you’ve stopped drinking for your body’s metabolism to start working again.

For reference, it takes the liver about one hour to process a standard drink. Multiple drinks extend that window, and until all the alcohol has left your body, you won’t burn any fat.

Why Does Co***ne Make Me Tired?

Initially, co***ne increases the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. After repeated use, the body experiences an overall depletion of these neurotransmitters.

Often, the depletion of these feel-good chemicals is a contributing factor to chronic use.

Neurotransmitters like serotonin play a crucial role in regulating your sleep.

This, paired with ongoing co***ne use, can cause ongoing sleep disturbance in co***ne users that may take some time to overcome before being able to return to restful sleep.

How Alcohol Intake Can Make You Gain Weight

Many people drink alcohol to relax or feel carefree. It impacts your mood and energy.

But the effects of alcohol on your body weight go beyond wanting to skip the gym the next day or eat unhealthily after a night out. Alcoholic beverages directly inhibit your body’s fat-burning process.

Drinking also provides empty calories, makes blood sugar levels fluctuate, lowers inhibitions, and disrupts sleep.

Coverage Length & Program Limits for Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment

EAP coverage is usually short-term.

For example, receiving 3-6 counseling sessions per year is a typical limit. This isn’t enough to treat substance use disorder, but that isn’t the intent. Rather, EAPs are meant to get you started and connected with longer-term care using your insurance.

At South Shores Recovery, we regularly coordinate with EAPs to help clients transition into detox, residential care, or outpatient treatment.

Do EAPs Cover Dual Diagnosis Treatment Programs?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, approximately 21.5 million adults across the United States struggle with dual diagnosis. Dual diagnosis describes having a substance use disorder and mental illness at the same time.

Many EAPs recognize the importance of addressing both these issues at once. At South Shores, many Orange County employees have been referred for dual diagnosis treatment.

We specialize in treating conditions like anxiety, depression, and PTSD alongside addiction, giving our clients the best possible chance of achieving lasting recovery.

We can help you regain balance in your personal and professional life.

Can I Be Fired for Getting Help?

Employees might put off seeking treatment because they’re worried it will put their job at risk. When you use an EA (Employee Assistance Program), it’s completely confidential.

Employers are not given the details of treatment you are receiving, and using EAP does not affect employment status.

Remember that seeking help is a proactive step, not a liability.

Most employers prefer you use an EAP before personal issues start to interfere with job performance. Once you are no longer able to perform at work, or if you are under the influence on the job, that’s when you are at risk of being terminated.

What is an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)?

An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a workplace benefit that supports employees facing certain challenges, including addiction. California EAPs provide free short-term counseling, mental health support, and referrals to outside services like addiction treatment centers.

By making it easier for employees to address problems sooner, change can happen before problems harm work performance, relationships, and overall well-being.

If you’re struggling with alcohol or drug use, an EAP is a stepping stone toward recovery.
