Alcohol Addiction and Drug Addiction Treatment: Benefits of Exercise

Many recovering people will testify to the value of exercise in reducing the intensity of PAW or post-acute withdrawal symptoms. After they exercise they feel much better and find it easier to concentrate, as well as remember, and they find that they are able to be more productive.

While attending the outpatient addiction treatment program at The Right Step, you will be encouraged to choose a form of exercise that is fun for you so that you will stick with it. Most doctors and health books will tell you to exercise three or four times a week, but we recommend that recovering people make time for it every day because of its value in reducing stress.

Any day that you do not exercise is a day that you are cheating yourself of a way to feel more relaxed, be more productive, and have more energy. Whatever exercise you choose, remember, do not over-do it! If it hurts don't do it. The old adage "no pain, no gain" is not true for recovering people. Consistency and regularity are the key words for the recovering person.
