Meditation is one of the most powerful tools for recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. It helps ease withdrawal symptoms, reduces stress and anxiety, and enables individuals to better manage cravings. Regular meditation can help users stay focused on their addiction recovery goals, increase self-awareness and better control their emotions–all essential elements of overcoming addiction in the long run. At Honu House Hawaii, we integrate meditation into our holistic treatment program to calm the mind and restore balance.
