For Many, Stress Leads to the Use and Abuse of Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco...

Some of the Basic Facts
Stressful events can have a direct affect on the use of alcohol or other drugs. Stress is a major contributor to the initiation and continuation of drug addiction and alcohol abuse, as well as to relapse or a return to drug use after periods of abstinence.

Stress is one of the major factors known to cause relapse to smoking, even after prolonged periods of abstinence.

Children exposed to severe stress may be more vulnerable to drug use. A number of clinical and epidemiological studies show a strong association between psychosocial stressors early in life (e.g., parental loss, child abuse) and an increased risk for depression, anxiety, impulsive behavior, and substance abuse in adulthood.

Treatment Philosophy
It is our goal to help clients reach sobriety and maintain it. We do this in a number of ways, including specialized educational recovery programs. As clients go through the drug treatment and eating disorder rehabilitation treatment process, they learn that there really are other options. They master the skills necessary to recognize these options and how to incorporate them into daily activities. They may discover that the key to success is not in hiding from situations and relationships that may trigger their addictive behaviors, but that they have the power to make better choices to achieve the healthier lifestyle they desire.

Family Program
We recognize addiction as a family disease and encourage the entire family to participate in treatment whenever possible. At Sober Living by The Sea, we offer a program specifically designed to assist families in crisis as a result of substance abuse. While the substance abuser goes through an appropriate treatment program, family members are educated about the disease process of chemical dependency and how they have each been affected. They are given the life tools necessary to reconcile current issues facing their family. The family also receives counseling from our highly trained family counselors on a regular basis and can receive further family advisement beyond treatment.
