Life Skills Training

Life skills training helps you learn to handle your daily responsibilities. In recovery, you’ll no longer be held back by drug and alcohol use. Instead, with the proper life skills, you’ll be able to manage your daily responsibilities in healthy ways.

Part of this responsibility includes developing a healthy routine. Having a routine helps you stay balanced and on top of your goals while keeping you from going back to old patterns. Your new routine might include activities like attending support meetings, going to therapy, eating well, enjoying physical activities, and going to bed on time. You’ll also learn to wake up at a healthy time to start your productive routine over again.

One important life skill is financial stability. Addiction can make it difficult to maintain employment. However, in recovery, you’ll need to find a steady source of income and manage your money well. We’ll help you learn essential budgeting skills so you can set yourself up for stability. You’ll learn about taking responsibility for your living space and how to keep it clean and organized.

Nutrition and personal hygiene also play a big role in recovery. While addiction can take a physical toll, in recovery you’ll become your healthiest self. Through a life skills program, you’ll rebuild a healthy body and mind that is able to take on life’s challenges. Managing your medications and taking them as directed is also part of life skills training

You’ll also build stronger relationships by controlling your emotions, being more self-aware, engaging in conversation, and communicating effectively.
