Exercise
in Substance Abuse Treatment
Many people who struggle from addiction also suffer from co-occurring disorders like depression or anxiety, turning to alcohol and drugs to help them feel better. Exercise can naturally help you cope with depression and anxiety, lessening the need to drink or use drugs.
At Ranch Creek Recovery, we incorporate exercise into our holistic addiction treatments to help you heal your body and mind from addiction.
Exercise helps you think less about your addiction and pain and focus more on feeling good in the present moment.

The benefits of exercise
in addiction recovery.
Exercise can:
Decrease feelings of depression, anxiety and stress
Exercise causes the release of endorphins in your body to help you feel good. It also has an effect on the brain’s hormones, serotonin and norepinephrine, reducing feelings of depression and anxiety.
Improve cardiovascular health
Regular exercise helps decrease blood pressure and can even help prevent heart disease.
Strengthen the body
Exercise like running and playing sports help build bone density, while lifting weights helps build muscles and keeps them strong.
Stimulate brain health
Addiction can damage brain function and memory. Exercise combats this by driving greater blood flow and oxygen to the brain and promoting brain cell growth to improve brain function, memory and cognitive thinking skills.
Increase relaxation and sleep
Part of healing from addiction is getting proper rest. Exercise requires a lot of energy and raises your temperature in the moment, which makes it easier for the body to cool off and relax when it’s time to sleep.
Exercise is one part
of a holistic program.
