Our instincts as parents are to care for and protect our children, and that is a good thing. But sometimes, this instinct can become a destructive force. It can consume us mentally and emotionally and it can cloud our judgment. It can hurt us as parents, damage relationships and ultimately it can hurt the children we are trying to help. This is an educational video for parents that will cover codependency as an addiction with Tree House Recovery’s own Karen Willock who runs ...Tree House Recovery's National Family Progam and Vechi Mutum. Our goal is to help you understand what codependency is and the damage it can cause you and your child. This will help you know whether or not you may be codependent and give you strategies you can use to begin healing so you can begin rebuilding healthy relationships and ultimately live a better life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Iy9RlAr_iw

ABIT Therapist, Bryan Hallmann and Tree House graduate Scott S, illustrating our use of eye contact during our pad work exercise designed to rewire the addicted brain. One of the extraordinary things that we do differently from all other SUD treatment centers is helping clients build optimized minds to connect with other human beings. As social animals, humans are all uniquely wired to connect. This is a fundamental need for us, and when we don't have strong social bonds, our... genetics responds with sadness, pain, anxiety, and depression. And when addiction is part of the equation, people tend to use drugs and alcohol to self-soothe. That use typically leads to shame, guilt, and regret -- bringing more isolation, pain, and drug use. This loop of pain, isolation, and drugs is hard to break and can keep people stuck in the downward spiral of active addiction. At Tree House Recovery, we know that you can't think and talk your way out of this cycle and into a socially connected, happy, and optimized way of being with just "Talk Therapy." Breaking this cycle requires deep bonds with humans, which is why we use a custom style of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) in Portland, Oregon called ABIT (Action Based Induction Therapy). In ABIT, it's not about fighting; it's about deep connections. You're doing pad work with your teammates that require empathy, interpersonal attunement, impulse control, emotional regulation, and morality. All of these exercises strengthen the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) and rewire your brain as you build the tight bonds with treatment peers that will ultimately help stay sober and break the social and emotional cycle of addiction. Our clients leave with a strong support network and an engaged PFC, which drives them to develop healthy and empowering relationships with others. Addiction isn't the opposite of sobriety -- isolation is. Staying connected is a fundamental aspect of staying sober. And ABIT is just one of our 8 interconnected modalities aimed at treating the social, physical, and mental roots of addiction. To learn more, visit our website or give us a call.

This is how the Tree House Portland team does it! The PDX physical empowerment staff coming together to build a new gym for clients. We are so proud. Therapists that are building the treatment environment with their bare hands.

A great article explaining why Tree House Recovery’s Exercise Therapy (ESM) helps sobriety. https://www.endominance.com/addiction-the-prefrontal-corte/ Several studies have linked Substance Abuse Disorder (SUD) with low performance in the pre-frontal cortex (PFC) -- an area that inhibits the feel-good rewards system activated by drugs and alcohol. ... Exercise releases proteins that strengthen the PFC. This leads to greater self-control, stress tolerance, and improved goal-directed behavior. Put simply? Regular exercise can reduce and control your cravings. Here's a breakdown of the article: https://treehouserecovery.com//addiction-vs-exercise-tree/

It’s not what you think, it’s what you do @normal2who. What are you going to do today?

Please welcome our latest addition to our addiction resources: The Word of the week! To start, here's a familiar one: Vicissitude - (noun) a change or variation occurring in the course of something, as of life or fortune; ups and downs. Example: At Tree House Recovery, we teach men to find strength and growth when vicissitudes occur. How do you overcome vicissitudes?

Fitness Training when done with greater intentions in addition to physical health, can do so much for your growth as a human and especially so in recovery. Every week we have a theme that we teach in ESM fitness therapy, to help inspire that change with knowledge and health. This week is vicissitudes. 5 days a week every week, we grow beyond our old selves. #treehouserecovery #fitnesstherapy #addiction #motivation #inspirechange #vision
