Addiction Treatment: Assessment of Stress – Outpatient Program

Individuals who participate in the Outpatient Program at The Right Step will be assisted in developing a deeper understanding of stress and how to cope throughout their disease of addiction.

You will learn that your perspective as it relates to various experiences in your life affects how stressful a situation may appear to you.  Learning more about the assessment of situations in your life will be a part of learning coping skills in recovery from addiction.

Supportive, licensed professionals will work closely with you during your eight-week Intensive Outpatient addiction treatment program to better understand the ways that your individual, subjective assessment about a situation plays a vital role in labeling a situation as stressful.

Different perspectives on the exact same situation can either create or eliminate the feelings of stress caused by these specific situations.  Examples provided of these different situations may include discussing the fact that a job transfer may be viewed as an opportunity to meet new people and see new places by one person, while another may consider it a huge source of stress.
