Exercise: the best prescription for aging

Exercise as therapy for addiction

Posted September 17, 2016

As an addiction counselor, I recommend exercise as an important technique for substance abuse recovery. Exercise is one of many positive coping skills you can use to deal with stress. It can result in you taking better care of yourself physically, as well as serve as a distraction to help beat back cravings, give you a sense of accomplishment or simply bring you joy.
