Phil Lovin Explains In Detail the Steps to a Drug- Free Life Addition doesn’t have to be a lifelong battle. Your journey to addiction recovery begins when you decide that you no longer want to be defined by your addiction & are willing to follow the steps required to make a change in your life. Phil Lovin, who has been helping people from all walks of life overcome addiction and restore their lives, explains below the steps to a healthy, drug-free life. Look for the Right Treatment: The very first step to overcoming addiction is to seek treatment. It could
mean medications, counseling, or a combination of both. Although there are many treatment programs available for addiction recovery, the right for you will depend on your unique situation and needs. Your age, medical conditions, psychological needs, & history of drug abuse are some of the factors that must be taken into consideration while looking for the right treatment program. Replace your Old Habits with New (healthy) Ones: Relapse is common among people aiming for sobriety and is very much an expect part of
addiction recovery treatment. Getting back to people, places, and things that are associated with drug use can quickly trigger relapse. One of the ways to avoid the triggers is to learn new coping skills that can help you make better decisions, such as - meditation, yoga, eating a healthy diet, sleeping well, having a proper routine, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and more.
Take it One Step at a Time: According to Phil Lovin, recovery takes time and therefore a treatment works best only when it’s long-term, which means at least ninety days in most cases. That’s also because people getting treated for addiction are quite vulnerable to relapse even when they have been off drugs for a long time.
