Addiction isn’t just a physical journey but a mental health one too. While attending an addiction program and receiving counseling or therapy are vital, there are other things one can do to help their mind and body heal when on their sobriety journey. This includes taking advantage of wellness services from Recovery Lab.
Wellness services at our facility aren’t just for people in active or post-addiction recovery. Our offerings can be beneficial to just about anyone, from athletes to sedentary office workers.
Here are some benefits we can help provide through our services – for both people in addiction recovery as well as the average individual:
Supports Cellular Repair
Substance use can lead to systematic damage throughout the body. It can affect the function of the body’s systems and impair organ efficiency.
Addiction can also indirectly damage the body. It can do this by encouraging other bad habits, like a lack of sleep, eating poorly, or not drinking enough water.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cryotherapy, and red light therapy are wellness services we offer, which can have a positive impact on cellular repair. In turn, these services are capable of accelerating healing, improving metabolic function, and encouraging balanced hormones.
Reduces Physical Discomfort
Addiction recovery can involve temporary physical discomfort in the form of headaches, low energy, temperature fluctuations, muscle aches, and joint pain. These withdrawal side effects, alone, can make recovery difficult to manage.
A suite of Recovery Lab services can help minimize the latter discomforts. For example, cryotherapy can reduce inflammation and soreness, and NormaTec compression therapy can improve circulation and supports muscle and joint recovery.
Promotes Emotional and Cognitive Wellness
Substance use can have both a direct and indirect impact on emotional and cognitive health. Part of the recovery process for long-term success is improving in these areas, which can be supported through Recovery Lab wellness services.
Red light therapy’s impact on cellular repair can boost brain function through improved memory, better clarity, and enhanced mood. The increased delivery of oxygen throughout the body via hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help encourage neural repair, improve energy levels, and aid with emotional regulation.
Enhances Sleep Quality
Proper sleep is imperative for both mental and physical healing. Yet, sleep disturbances can be a challenge during addiction recovery. Without adequate sleep during this crucial period, it can delay recovery, worsen withdrawal symptoms, and further deplete one’s mood and energy levels. Generally, it can make healing twice as hard.
Multiple of our wellness services have the capability of improving sleep quality. These include hyperbaric oxygen therapy, red light therapy, cryotherapy, mobility stretching, and more. They achieve this through improving cellular function, balancing hormones, facilitating physical relaxation, and reducing anxiety.
At Recovery Lab, our goal is to help our clients become their best selves. It all begins with a comprehensive solution capable of supporting both physical and mental health. Sometimes all the body requires is a little guidance to bring it back to optimal functioning.
