Tomorrow is Halloween, and with it being on a Friday, there are no doubt lots of fun opportunities to enjoy the festivities! And many of those opportunities work well with living in recovery.

- Take the kids, or your nieces & nephews, trick-or-treating
- Invite friends over to hangout with while you pass out candy to trick-or-treaters
- Have a pumpkin carving party with friends and family
- Check out a haunted house
- Visit a Fall Festival

Connection is one of our greatest resources not just for those of us in recovery, but for every person. Use the festivities as an opportunity to foster and cultivate healthy connection.

And with the extra festivities, it's never a bad idea to check in with friends in recovery.
- Attend an AA or NA meeting
- Reach out to a sponsor or any accountability partner and discuss any Halloween plans

We wish you a happy, safe, and sober Halloween!

Before the month is out, we want to make sure we help raise awareness to an important campaign happening this month. That is Youth Substance Use Prevention Month.

Exposure to substances during childhood/adolescence increases the risk of addiction in adulthood. And with increased peer pressure from social media and the greater accessibility to substances today, youth substance use prevention has never been more important.

Thankfully, common risk factors are usually very identifiable and, even if a child is currently experiencing them, preventable.

For in depth information on prevention, having conversations, and other helpful tips, check out this article https://bit.ly/4qufGMo

If you're in recovery, we'd love to hear any advice or encouragement you'd give to someone starting their recovery journey. You never know, your words may be the very thing that someone needs to hear.

Busyness culture and constant distractions make it difficult to get some alone time. Nowadays it's usually something that needs to be prioritized; it doesn't come naturally for most of us.

Solitude is such a great way to reflect on where you've been and where you're going, confront some things that have been on your mind, and relax. Most importantly, it allows us to do those things with calmness and clarity, things that are hard to get in the busyness of life.

Take a walk, drive in silence, stop off and sit on a bench at a park you drive by, watch the birds out of your window in silence, or whatever works. And sometimes just 5 or 10 minutes is enough to reset and reflect.

We hope you can find just a few minutes of solitude this weekend. Happy Saturday everyone!

Trauma can significantly influence a person to turn to substance use. Understanding this we see that substance use is more of a coping mechanism.

Using a range of therapeutic techniques, our program integrates both traditional and holistic methods to ensure a well-rounded approach. Healing trauma can start loosening the draw to substances, which helps other aspects of addiction treatment to become even more effective.

We're grateful and humbled to hear we're providing this level of care. If you or someone you know is in search of addiction treatment, best believe you can get the best at Lexington Addiction Center!

Taking some time to take care of ourselves helps us take on day-to-day responsibilities with peace and give the proper love and attention to those we care about. It's difficult to pour into others and activities when we're running empty. Even just 5-10 minutes goes a long way!

Have a great weekend!

Today is National Depression Screening Day. Depression is common in those dealing with addiction. We bring expert care in treating the depression and other mental health challenges that spur substance abuse.

In treating depression, we see the heavy effects it can have on people, so it's important to us to raise awareness about it. With today being National Depression Screening Day, we want to take this opportunity to encourage anyone who suspects they may be struggling with depression to seek professional help.

Symptoms may include:
- Persistent sadness or anxiousness
- Too little sleep...or too much sleep
- Loss of interest in hobbies and activities
- Difficulty focusing or making decisions
- Fatigue
- Thoughts of harming oneself

If these symptoms persist over two weeks or significantly interfere with your daily responsibilities, then consider seeing a doctor or a qualified mental health professional.

The winter months see increases in social isolation, loneliness, and depression. These are the very things that can really spur substance abuse.

Plainly, winter months are tough. The weather encourages us to stay inside, and the holidays can remind us of painful relationships.

Before the weather starts to really change, we can start cultivating connection now, so it comes easier when we arrive at the colder months.

Having stronger connections will help us guard against isolation, loneliness, and depression.

Start a regular activity with a group of friends (campfires, book club, run club, regular dinner meet-ups, etc.). See about community programs. With summer officially ended, this is also the time that community organizations, churches, etc. begin community engagement programs that go through the fall and winter.

Whatever it may be, getting some kind of social engagement routine set now can help make the winter months a little bit warmer and brighter!

It is International No Alcohol Day. This day encourages us to take an honest look at alcohol consumption in our lives, whether that be with ourselves or people we care about.

We encourage everyone to look into the negative health effects excessive alcohol consumption can have, often linked to many diseases including liver disease, stroke, and various types of cancer.

It's also important to understand the relationship excessive alcohol consumption can have with mental and behavioral disorders.

If you suspect you or someone you care about may have a harmful relationship with alcohol, take today as a sign to have an honest, compassionate conversation. Self-enlightenment and healing could very well be on the other side of that conversation, and, in our experience, they often are.
