Addiction Treatment: Experiencing Stress – Outpatient Program
During your Intensive Outpatient addiction treatment program at The Right Step, you will be aided in conceptualizing stress and becoming familiarized with the negative impact of stressful situations, which left unchecked, can lead back to active addiction. A major key to successfully dealing with and halting addiction relapse, can be the understanding of stress and the use of coping skills to regulate it.
Stress can be positive (eustress), moving us toward goal achievement or negative, which may often be immobilizing. However, stress more often has a negative connotation associated with it. Unrelieved stress can lead to failures and illnesses. Illnesses caused by stress occur when stress continues for a prolonged period, as the body's natural defense system becomes overworked and weakened.
During your addiction treatment, you will learn more about the ways that challenging life situations causing stress may be a result of factors like job promotion, transfers, romantic involvements, financial problems, the death of a friend or family member, and so on. The Right Step employs professionals who will direct the addict in recovery to use a new set of skills to meet these challenges, while teaching recognition of signs and symptoms of stress in achieving stress reduction.

Outpatient Addiction Treatment
As you
progress through the Sessions of your Intensive Outpatient program, you will learn
the ways stress is an adaptive response mediated by individual characteristics
or psychological processes created by internal actions, situations or events
that create special physical or psychological demands.
You will learn how adaptive stress response can be the body’s way of protecting
you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert. In
emergency situations, stress can save your life. Beyond a certain point, stress
can begin to cause major health damage, hurt moods, productivity,
relationships, quality of life and become dangerous for the recovering addict.
While participating in the outpatient addiction treatment program, you will have the chance to thoroughly understand both the definitions of stress, as well as the results of stress in addiction.
