Getting Sober Turning to alcohol or drugs to relax, escape or fix the problem is only creating more problems. Addiction is a disease, not a lack of will power. You've probably tried to quit on your own. But even the greatest names in sports, business and entertainment didn't make it on their own. They all had coaches or mentors - professional assistance to take them to the next level. This is where we come in. At Surfside Recovery for Men, we can coach you through the difficult process of quitting drugs and alcohol. We know from experience that turning your life around doesn't happen overnight. Our program offers individual, effective and affordable residential treatment in the upscale beach community of Dana Point, California. Our qualified staff will work extensively with you in one-on-one counseling and group sessions to help identify core values and dreams for your new game plan. Phase One: Saving Your Life In this stage, which starts with a rude awakening more often than a spiritual one, your chief concern is survival. You may seem self-centered to family and friends, focusing all your energies on yourself and your recovery (just as you focused them on your drug or alcohol addiction). But that's the way early recovery is. A mutual support group like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) can help you move into sobriety successfully, You can learn to get the most out of such a group, and how to deal with your family and friends, and job during this time. Your body will probably complain bitterly, with new symptoms related to recovery and old ones you never noticed when your brain was anesthetized. Your head will probably be shrouded in fog, and your emotions will flip-flop frequently. You'll need to learn how to cope with body, mind, and moods without chemical support. We will help get you through this often difficult, sometimes painful, but ultimately rewarding adjustment period. Phase Two: Enjoying Your Life With the craving for alcohol or drugs diminishing and your recovery on track, you can switch gears from saving your life to making it more fulfilling. Work at rebuilding old relationships and beginning new ones; look for new educational opportunities and job challenges; and explore hobbies and leisure activities. With a smog-free head, more stable emotions, you can begin to have fun. Phase Three: Extending Your Life Somewhere in the third or fourth year of sobriety (a little earlier for some, a little later for others), the focus switches again. Once you've saved your life and learned to enjoy it, it's time to consider how you can best extend it. We'll explain how to do this with the help of a sensible diet, a realistic exercise program, and other preventive health measures. This phase is also the time to continue to reach out to help others. Surf Side Recovery is a drug treatment center in California that helps a person work through all three phases of recovery. Our facility has been helping people for 13 years work the phases of recovery. |
