Meditation and Drug Rehab
July 18th, 2006 by Terry Keith
In drug rehab one of the most important skills to acquire is the ability to control stress in your life. By good planning and having good structure in your life you can minimize the amount of stress you face daily. You cannot however remove stress totally. It is wise then to have some techniques to reduce the effect of stress on your body and your mind.
Meditation is an excellent way to do this. I have come across another great little book to help with this skill. It is brief and easy to follow. The title of this little gem is Instant Relaxation. It is written by Debra Lederer and Micheal Hall. The publisher is Crown House and it was published in 1999. It has some real quality information about breathing and posture. These are keys to effective meditation. If you want to reduce stress in your life, and therefore reduce the chance of relapse, give this book a whirl.

I personaly know of people that use meditation to get through day-to-day life. It is a great way to unwind, and to keep things under control. They sit back and think about the day, using special meditation techniques they have learnt. This way, if things in their day have upset them, they can take some distance from these events, and put them in the past.
This would be a great way to enhance drug rehab! Drug users live very much in the now, and by doing some meditation they might be able to view the big picture of life, and realise that what they are doing is silly!
