Nature makes a positive impact on many people, including those who are currently trying to treat themselves for addiction. How exactly does this happen, though? Does being out in the wilderness or an outdoor setting really make a difference? Red Oak Recovery is an addiction treatment center that uses the mix of traditional therapy along with spending time outdoors to help battle addiction. Here are five ways nature can impact your addiction treatment and recovery efforts. If you need addiction treatment, contact our men’s addiction treatment center in North Carolina today at 866.457.7590.

Sunshine Provides Much-Needed Vitamin D

You probably heard that going outdoors is vital so that you get Vitamin D into your body. The sun’s rays provide this necessary nutrient. Vitamin D is essential for your health. Because of this, those who have an addiction will benefit from having an adequate Vitamin D supply within their body. They are less likely to fall victim to health problems, which in turn boosts morale and helps to keep addictive behavior at bay. Our addiction treatment center incorporates plenty of outdoor time during the recovery process.

Sleep Deprivation Is Not As Likely To Occur

If you spend time in the outdoors, you have less of a chance of suffering from sleep deprivation. Spending time outdoors will keep your internal clock on point, meaning you will want to and be able to fall asleep at a decent hour without difficulty. Those who struggle with sleep problems may turn toward alcohol or drugs to help them slumber. This reaction could quickly escalate toward an addiction if it continues to occur.

Exercise Helps Keep Your Immune System In Check

When you spend time outdoors, you will likely engage in all types of activities that exercise the body. These activities, in turn, will boost your immune system. Those who are physically fit are less likely to fall victim to alcohol or drug abuse. Some people find that spending time in the outdoors is a natural “high” and all that is needed to keep their body fit and healthy.

Nature Is A Natural Antidepressant

Spending time outdoors helps to keep depression at bay. A lot of people find that spending time doing something they love, such as engaging in a sport, exploring the wilderness to learn new things, or just being at peace with the solitude of a quiet day can help with the avoidance of depression. Spending time outdoors, whether alone or with someone else, refreshes the body and mind with positivity.

Stress Is Relieved With Nature

The everyday struggles people endure can contribute to stress. When stress takes place, addiction follows. Spending time outdoors away from electronics, work tasks, and other people relieve stress naturally. In the wilderness, there are no loud sounds and deadlines to endure, giving nature goers a refreshing look at life without influences that usually lead to stressful situations. Reducing this stress will, in turn, reduce the chance of addictive behavior.

Enjoy Nature While In Treatment

Red Oak Recovery is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Whether you live far out in Wayne, MI, and wish to travel to our facility, or you live close by, we are there for recovery efforts with a compassionate staff to assist.
