Chemical abuse contributes to different alterations in the brain and causes health complications to the body. Sobriety may be an impossible goal but with the help of a mental therapist, right treatment and support, overcoming drug dependency is doable. For a start, here’s how you can do it:
- Build healthy relationships
Being chemical-dependent is equally the same as developing a sole relationship with drugs. It is also possible that the people you surround yourself with are those whom you can buy and sell drugs or those who you do drugs with. Change your social circle and avoid spending time with those who are overly dependent on drugs and use it as a medication for mental illness. Choose your peers wisely. - Be physically active
Some people use drugs as an escape from their inner turmoil or a temporary treatment for mental illness. Excessive stress can also be a triggering point for a person to use drugs but, it shouldn’t be your only solution. You can start by changing your lifestyle and be physically active. - Participate in a drug prevention program
