For anyone going through de-addiction, it is very hard to go through the relapse phase. This is when your mind and body are split up, with your mind trying to control your habit, while your body trying to get back into it.

This is why addiction monitoring programs are important. They are designed to help everyone in their own individual way, by providing the support they need psychologically. From Nova Recovery Center, we provide our patients with all the support they need to come out of this phase easily.

Coming out of Addiction is Only Half the Journey

As you might know already, giving up the habit is half the goal reached. The drugs you consume take a toll on your body in more ways than you think. Regular intake of any drug will prompt the body to adapt to the new drug. To stop this habit suddenly and change to a sober lifestyle is a huge task. When you stop taking the drug one day, your body tends to react to the new change, and that’s when you begin to feel the stress.

But, with support from Nova, you can go through this phase with ease.

Staying Sober is the More Important Half

The next step is to stay sober throughout the day. You might have gotten used to being on drugs at a particular time of your day, every day, for a large part of your life. Giving up the drugs and staying still and sober is quite challenging. But it is achievable. Once you begin practicing to stay away from the drugs, you will slowly gain control of your mind and body, thereby leading to a healthy lifestyle.

Personal Monitoring or Addiction Monitoring Program

To help you through this hard phase, we from Nova Recovery Centre, have designed and developed a lot of exercises and programs. From personal monitoring to group therapies, these programs will bring you out of the habits slowly and safely, without any side effects on your body & mind. The goal is to train you to get a better life for yourself.

Different Types of Personal Monitoring

At Nova, we offer the following personal monitoring programs to our patients.

Individual counseling, group counseling, behavioral therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, 12-Step facilitation therapy, contingency management using positive reinforcement, rational emotive behavioral therapy, gender-specific treatments, and more.

Each patient will receive a uniquely designed course/treatment, with which they can progress on their own. This is to make sure you don’t feel like you’re competing against anyone on your path toward sobriety.

How Celebrating Sobriety Helps in Prevention of Relapse

Achieving and maintaining sobriety requires a lot of motivation, determination, and self-accountability from one’s mind. By celebrating sobriety, you reinforce your mind with positive signals. So, slowly your mind will get the necessary good feeling or the “high” even by staying sober. Also, by keeping milestones towards sobriety, you can go through de-addiction with a lot more ease and a lot less stress.
