Recovery from drug and alcohol addiction is a life-long process with many challenges and obstacles to overcome along the way.

Choosing a substance-free life is one of the most transformative decisions a person can make. Sobriety helps reclaim your health, relationships, and future.

At Cypress Lake Recovery, we help individuals take that first critical step through medically monitored detox and structured residential treatment. Here’s why a life of recovery is worth it.

Here are 10 reasons to live substance-free:

1. Heal broken relationships. Drug and alcohol addiction can cause trust issues with family and friends. Through family therapy and structured support, you can start to repair and rebuild these vital connections.
2. Increase job productivity. When living with an addiction to drugs and alcohol, you can have a hard time staying employed. Frequent absences, tardiness, and decline in job productivity can result in job loss. A life of sobriety allows more prompt, reliable and productive work. In our residential treatment program, we provide life skills development to help you integrate back into your life.
3. Save money. Living with a substance addiction will cause extra expenses so money is spent on drugs and alcohol. Sober living allows you to save money, pay the bills, and have the basic needs to sustain a healthy health.
4. Physical health. An addiction to drugs and alcohol leads to physical health issues. The brain and other organs are affected and using drugs and alcohol can cause an early death. These health issues could be preventable with sober living. Medical detox and comprehensive care at Cypress help restore your body’s health and functioning.
5. Mental health. Most substances have negative effects on mental health. Some heighten depression, anxiety, fear, paranoia, and insomnia. Our dual diagnosis treatment addresses these co-occurring conditions for whole-person healing. Living substance free allows a medical professional to treat any underlying psychological issues.
6. Improve self-confidence. Addiction causes feelings of worthlessness, helplessness, and self-doubt. Sobriety allows a person to enjoy life to the fullest and pursue goals.
7. Increase motivation. Living on drugs and alcohol has negative effects on health and self-worth. Sobriety allows for an increase in mood, health, and motivation.
8. Self-discovery. Another great reason for sobriety is you get to know more about yourself and discover the real you.
9. Memory. Drugs and alcohol affect memory and the ability to remember things, such as birthdays, holidays, or other events.
10. Enjoy life. Living substance-free is more enjoyable. A healthy, sober mind changes a person’s perspective. Life is short. Enjoy it to the fullest.
