Pathways Recovery Addiction Treatment

At Pathways Recovery, recovery and treatment aren’t just about tending to addiction and its symptoms. Instead, long-term recovery treatment should aim at treating each individual holistically. That means improving physical health, spiritual health, and mental health. Here, we always promote and encourage clients to engage in good nutrition practices. https://pathwaysrecovery.com/addiction-tre/detox-nutrition/

Is drug use visible? How can you tell that someone in your life is using? Continuous and regular drug use often takes a physical toll on a person.

December is National Stress-Free Family Holidays Month! We can probably all agree that it's a necessary and very appropriate observance this month. As we all try to ensure that we have our holiday plans and preparations ready, it might be tempting to turn to old substance use habits for stress relief.

Here at Pathways Recovery, we believe that holistic treatment is important. Individuals are complex and moving parts. Taking care of one part of an individual doesn’t necessarily benefit the rest of that person (and there’s so much more to a person!). That’s why we promote healthy living through food, customized care, physical wellness, and a supportive community.

What’s the safest way to stop alcohol use? Alcohol detoxification. The detox process for alcohol can be made safer and more comfortable with a medically supervised alcohol detox process.

Food can affect our mental health. We believe in promoting healthy eating habits and providing education about how proper eating can help addiction recovery. But food is more than just education and health! Food can be a unique way to experience different cultures and diversify your thinking. For example, the Mediterranean diet, high in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds, and olive oil, has been gaining popularity in the US. Have you tried the Mediterranean diet? https://www.mayoclinic.org//mediterranean-diet/art-20047801
