Fitness at Addiction Rehab Toronto

Fitness in Addiction Recovery is incredibly important. Fitness allows individuals to keep themselves healthy. At Addiction Rehab Toronto, maintaining a healthy lifestyle means many different things, but mainly, it’s about taking care of your physical and mental health.

What is Wellness?

Wellness is a proactive approach to an individual’s health. Looking after one’s Wellness means taking a step back, and looking around and asking: What is missing? What do I need more of? Am I taking care of my mental health? Am I happy?

An individual’s physical well-being is incredibly important in addiction recovery, but so is overall wellness. It incorporates a multitude of factors such as mental health, family, sleep, housing, employment, relationships, finances, nutrition, communication, and so much more.

Wellness helps individuals understand their own social determinants of health. The social determinants of health incorporate neighborhoods, economic stability, education, social, community, health care, housing, food, and employment. In addition, for those individuals dealing with the law or have a criminal history, our Addiction treatment programming offer addiction rehabilitation and social reintegration which offer individuals a positive sober community and focuses on mental health needs. Attending rehab can potentially lessen sentences and charges that are related to drug use and abuse.

An individual will continue to grow as a family, as friends, and importantly, as a true and honest self.
