Controlling negative thoughts and behaviors that often follow is a big part of addiction recovery. One way to do this is through mindfulness training, a process involving meditation, and a holistic view of overall health. At Red Oak Recovery, our team works closely with you to provide the best level of support as you work to heal and recover from addiction and the damages it creates. To learn more about our services, please contact Red Oak Recovery today at 866.457.7590.

What Is Mindfulness Training?

Mindfulness training is a mental training process. The goal is to encourage a person to slow down negative, racing thoughts to calm the body and mind. In doing so, the individual is able to reduce their anxiety and improve overall calmness. Often, meditation therapy may be a component of this type of therapy as well.

This treatment is a type of holistic therapy for those battling mental health disorders or substance use disorders. When the individual uses this method, it can help control the negative thought processes that are often inaccurate. These negative thought processes ordinarily can lead a person towards using these substances or experiencing intense mental health disorder symptoms. By controlling the mind, breathing, and bringing awareness to the body, it is possible to create significant overall improvement at that moment.

What Are the Components of Mindfulness Training?

There are many techniques and processes used in mindfulness training. You may encounter a range of these during your addiction treatment and therapy. Here are a few critical components of it:

  1. Breathing practice: Breathing is a big part of mindfulness training. To calm down during a highly stressful time, a person can deeply inhale through their nose, hold it for about two to five seconds, and then exhale fully through the mouth. In addition to this, practicing routine, paced breaths can slow down the heart rate and improve overall focus.
  2. Awareness of body: Another component of this training is becoming aware of the body, including the heart rate, the tension in muscles, and the overall feeling of the body. During high-stress moments, it is essential to focus on the body to bring a person back to reality rather than the harmful and inaccurate thoughts.
  3. Awareness of mind: Controlling thoughts is a big part of making better decisions. It’s easy for negative thoughts to spiral out of control, but it’s possible to become aware of this and change those thoughts in this type of training. In doing so, it’s possible to minimize adverse outcomes.

Mental training like this seems simple until you learn how to do so. Many people find that they have more control over feelings of anger, frustration, anxiety, and fear when they control their thoughts. In this type of therapy, a person learns how to maintain control and engage in it even in the most stressful moments.

Call Red Oak Recovery Today

Mindfulness meditation and training is one component to an overall treatment program for addiction or mental health disorders. At Red Oak Recovery, you’ll learn about numerous strategies to give you more control and limit negative behaviors. The goal of therapy is not just to help you stop using or to use medications. Instead, it prepares a person to handle the stress of daily life and create a new pattern of success moving forward. Some of the other therapy programs you may have access to include:

  • Nutritional therapy services
  • Group therapy services
  • Wilderness therapy programs
  • Adventure therapy programs
  • Experiential therapy programs

Mindfulness training is one of the core concepts we offer at Red Oak Recovery. If you’re interested in learning more about mindfulness meditation, we encourage you to call us at 866.457.7590 or connect with our team online.
