« Treating Alcoholism: Mind and Body | Main | What are the benefits of rehab? »
By Newport Coast | January 7, 2008
Nobody is immune from addiction, and that includes professional football, baseball, and basketball players (among others). Finding a drug or alcohol rehab facility for an athlete can be a challenge because the addiction issues that athletes face may differ from those of other individuals.
Athletes often require a dual diagnosis rehab facility because they often have a co-occurring psychological disorder along with a chemical addiction. This may be due to the stress athletes face on a regular basis - many times drugs become an escape from this stress. In other cases, athletes may become addicted to drugs because they’re self-medicating for pain; even in cases where pain medications are prescribed, addiction can quickly occur.
Another issue in treating addiction in athletes is the importance of physical fitness opportunities in rehab since it can last anywhere from 30-90+ days. A good diet is also vital.
If you’re an athlete who needs professional inpatient rehab (or you know one who does), give Newport Coast Recovery a call today.
