It's so important that we all have an understanding of how to identify signs of substance abuse - it can save a persons life, and maybe this person is your loved one?

There are a handful of ways that a person developing an addiction can signal if they're struggling, and you'll want to be aware of them should you suspect that a person close to you is using drugs or other substances.

Signs of substance abuse include:

▪️Physical changes
▪️Behavioral changes
▪️Sleep patterns
▪️Avoiding and disconnecting with loved ones

However, they can also be the most beneficial. When you are feeling depressed, anxious, unhappy, or going through something that you feel like no one can relate to, group sessions show you that you're NEVER alone.

Don't be afraid to test them out. 💙

It’s so important not to let the rush of the holiday season and gatherings distract us from sobriety.

For many, the holidays involve gathering with loved ones and might involve past traditions where you drank alcohol or used substances. Various aspects of the holiday season may even cause triggers to arise that lead you back to old ways; like feeling isolated or the urge to use substances because it’s available.

Here are some tips to help you successfully get through the holiday season, sober:

🍃 Start new traditions
🍃 Rethink holiday obligations
🍃 Connect with support system prior to events
🍃 Address your triggers

I'm so excited about the launch of our new gym at True Recovery! This new space is available to all clients enrolled in our programs to help strengthen physical and mental health throughout treatment.

There are so many benefits of exercise in addiction recovery like stress reduction, better sleep, improved mood, increased energy, and it can even prevent relapse.

Additions to our treatment facility, like our new gym, is what makes different from the rest. 💪😬🍃

What makes different? 🧐

Many rehabilitation centers focus on increased numbers, a “one-size-fits-all” approach, and outdated treatments and philosophies. At True, we want to change this.

Our treatment models ignite real transformations through advanced psychological and psychiatric techniques and evidence-based therapies. Small groups, small caseloads, and professional and caring staff provide the individualized care that all True clients deserve.
