How to Stay Sober During the Summer

Summertime often means an interruption in schedules, routines, and everyday rhythms. In terms of sobriety, this can be especially challenging to successful outcomes.

At Banyan Treatment Center Massachusetts, we offer drug and alcohol addiction treatment to help men and women find their sobriety. We understand that summertime can be tough on sobriety, but you can stay sober for the summer and way beyond. Here are some tips for sticking to sobriety.

Treat Addiction Like a Medical Condition

Many people regard addiction and alcoholism as diseases. By regarding these conditions in this light, it’s easier to recognize the right steps to take for successful treatment. Relapse rates for addiction are similar to those of other chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes. This shows the importance of treating addiction like a disease and giving patients ongoing support to prevent relapse.

Get Support for Recovery

The support you receive shouldn’t end once you complete addiction treatment in Massachusetts. We also operate an alumni recovery program in Massachusetts for those who have completed our programs. Alumni support one another in recovery, hold each other accountable, and have plenty of fun while staying sober.

Support Others in Their Recovery

Another tip for sustained summertime sobriety is to help others in their recovery journey. Altruistic behavior, such as supporting another in their recovery, can improve the outcome of your own sobriety as well.1 You can support others at AA, NA, or alumni recovery meetings.

Call on Professionals

The final tip for staying sober this summer and beyond is to reach out for help from professionals. Our alumni are always in touch with the expert support they need for recovery. We also suggest reaching out to local AA, NA, and other support groups for proper guidance in recovery.
