Yoga & Addiction Treatment
It has been shown that yoga and meditation can help relieve anxiety. Addicts will react with extreme behaviors due to pent up emotions, anger, self-loathing, shame, anxiety trauma or other negative emotions. An addict will engage in these destructive behaviors as they do not know how to handle these emotions appropriately. Yoga can teach an addict how to relax and control their emotions. Yoga can help an addict learn self control, help their self confidence and improve their physical health. The combination of postures breathing and meditation helps to aid the recovering addict in dealing with the stresses of recovery.
Addicts who abuse prescription drugs to help control chronic pain will also find benefits from yoga. Studies have shown that yoga can actually help improve the effectiveness of medical treatments used for chronic pain.
