Rehab Mindfulness Program

Up until this point, you will have been using drugs and alcohol to help you cope with life. Our mindfulness program at Hope Rehab Thailand will increase your ability to deal with negative thoughts, stress, negative emotions, and relapse triggers. This is important because once you feel more in control of your life, the pull towards addiction will become much weaker. 

Mindfulness is a simple technique but it takes practice

Mindfulness is a relatively simple technique, but it takes effort and practice to make it a part of your life. We find most clients who enter our treatment facility can easily see the benefits of becoming more objective around their thinking, and living more in the moment. Just agreeing this is a good thing is probably not going to be enough though. We will all have had decades of conditioning that has taught us to be mindless, and this is not going to be overcome with just a couple of meditation sessions. 

What to look for when treatment centers offer a mindfulness program

The current buzz around the practice has led to the rise of the treatment centers mindfulness program. Technically speaking – any rehab that offers yoga or meditation even once a week can claim to teach mindfulness. The problem is that such a brief introduction to this practice is unlikely to be of much benefit to those who have been caught up in the self-destructive thought patterns of addiction for possibly decades. A proper addiction mindfulness rehab facility is going to give you sufficient theoretical and practical experience of using this technique that you will be able to incorporate it into your new life. Here at Serenity Recovery, we offer a comprehensive residential program that will give you a good foundation on which to build on. 

Mindfulness will teach you how to manage your own brain

One of the particularly unpleasant aspects of being caught up in addiction is the feeling of complete powerlessness – it is like we become a prisoner of our own brain. There may have been many times when you felt determined to change, yet you still ended up back where you started.  One of the great benefits of our rehab mindfulness program (along with other approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is it teaches you to manage your own brain. Instead of your life been driven by habitual behaviours, you win back your freedom.
