Being Away From Home Reduces the Risk of Relapse
Since you are far away from your home, you cannot acquire drugs as easily as you could where you know the territory. If you cannot get the drugs, you cannot relapse back into using them.
You’re Away From Your Triggers
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a trigger is a cue in your normal environment that, when activated, cause drug cravings. This means you can see something, hear something, or even smell something and it causes you to want the drug.
A rehab that is far away from your home environment can reduce triggers and slow your cravings. Not only does this help you take control back from the drug, it also helps prevent a relapse during treatment.
You’re Removed From the Stress of Home
According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, stress plays an important role in substance abuse. In fact, stress is one of the leading causes of substance abuse and substance use disorder. It is best to choose a rehab that is outside your home town if the stress is caused by your:
-
- employer or employment
- home environment
- family
- friends
- relationships
- your home in general
Getting away from these things can make your recovery easier for you and those around you.
You Can Avoid Outside Influences
It is more difficult for friends and family to visit when you are away from your hometown. Although friends and family can be a good influence, sometimes they are part of your problem with drug abuse.
Friends and family can be major stressors on you. If they do not approve of your sobriety, use drugs themselves, or do not support you, it is best that you are away from them while you recover. Many rehabs keep friends and family away for at least part of the treatment program. This is easier to do in a different town or different state.
