It's often referred to as recreational therapy. But for those who recognize how beneficial recreational activities can be, and what a positive effect enjoying an activity can have in someone's life, we just call it fun. Recreational Therapy is all about creation... creating positive experiences, memories, and a better you.
Recreational activities include but are not limited to:
Recreational therapy is an effective and fun part of recovery. Even walking on the beach will increase the beneficial neurotransmitters in the brain thereby reducing cravings. By making the body active and experiencing positive emotions, dopamine and endorphins are released in the brain. Often times people get addicted to a drug or to alcohol because they are lacking these neurotransmitters in their brain and the drug or other substance actually functions as a substitute. By intravenously administering amino acids, these "feel good" neurotransmitters will be replenished in the brain. Recreational activity aids in this process of replenishing neurotransmitters and will also help the body to grow stronger and will enhance your well-being. |
