Exercise Facilities at Cirque LodgePeople suffering from drug addiction can be faced with a number of problems. One of these problems is with physical health. The behavior of seeking and using drugs can have adverse affects on physical well being. At Cirque Lodge, part of drug treatment is to help rebuild the body back into a healthy state. This is done with balanced nutrition and an active drug rehab program. Physical recovery can have a positive influence on overcoming addiction to drugs and alcohol.

Many drugs of choice can suppress the appetite for food. As a person seeks and uses drugs, the desire to eat is not as important. This can lead to being undernourished and physical problems from lack of a proper diet. A part of the Cirque Lodge drug treatment experience is three nutritious meals a day. Our culinary program provides delicious gourmet type meals for residents, that are also healthy and well balanced. Getting back into the practice of healthy eating can provide the body with the things it needs to rebuild from years of addiction.

Working With an Addiction Sponsor

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Addiction Sponsors Provide SupportFor those in recovery from alcoholism or drug addiction, a sponsor is a nice thing to have. A sponsor is a one-on-one support network usually appointed by a 12-step fellowship. A sponsor can be a valuable crutch in times of need when faced with the temptations to use or drink. During alcohol and drug rehab at Cirque Lodge, our residents begin the work of the 12-step program. After residents are established in the drug rehab program, they have a chance of being involved in a 12-step fellowship and working with an addiction sponsor. This can be preparatory for working with a sponsor once addiction treatment is completed.

Addiction sponsors are an example of successful sobriety. They were at one point in similar shoes. In working the 12-step program, they found sobriety. In successful recovery it is role of such individuals to take the message to others and to help them. Alcoholics and addicts need influential people in their lives at times. An addiction sponsor can be that influential person and can be a great help in the times and social situations when the temptation to use is strong.

What can’t be done alone can be accomplished together. An addiction sponsor can provide needed support in times of need. For many, it begins with the help of drug rehab. After that, it is the support and help of individuals like an addiction sponsor.
