Once you\u2019ve decided to seek treatment though, the question of <em>where<\/em> is often next and heading to the Sunshine State can be just the answer you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"changing-your-environment-removes-you-from-your-routine-and-triggers\"><\/span>Changing Your Environment Removes You from Your Routine and Triggers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t about the scenery. Getting out of wherever you are, even if it\u2019s just a different part of Florida, makes a big difference in your march toward sobriety. If you stay in your hometown, you\u2019ll be right in the middle of all the temptations that drove you to substance abuse in the first place. You\u2019ll know where you can get drugs. You\u2019ll still be in the general vicinity of the people you drank or did drugs with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, the triggers can still easily trigger you if you stick around your hometown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, you may just want to keep your treatment private and not risk bumping into people you know. It\u2019s a fair concern and relocating makes that easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"eliminate-distractions-to-increase-commitment\"><\/span>Eliminate Distractions to Increase Commitment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elaborating on the previous point, when you change your location you miraculously and seemingly magically eliminate the vast majority of the things that were distracting you from getting clean. With the triggers gone, the people who supported your habit gone and your routine totally shifted to one consumed by rehab, you\u2019ll have little choice but to commit even more fully to your treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leaving frees you to live and create the life you want and makes your fresh start the priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"something-to-look-forward-to\"><\/span>Something to Look Forward To<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As crazy as it may seem, a move to South Florida is exciting even if it\u2019s for rehab. Sure, you\u2019re not coming down for vacation but having something to look forward to really helps start your recovery journey off on the right foot. A positive initial experience can help set the tone for the remainder of your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"soak-in-the-sun-in-comfort\"><\/span>Soak in the Sun in Comfort<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go ahead and reread those open lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is something rejuvenating about the Florida sun. Of course getting your daily dose of vitamin D is important for your physical health but the sun works wonders on your mental health as well. You\u2019ve no doubt heard the phrase \u201csunny disposition\u201d, no? It means being cheerful and happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nimh.nih.gov\/health\/publications\/seasonal-affective-disorder\/index.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seasonal Affect Disorder (SAD)<\/a>, a type of depression that happens when we move into fall and winter is linked to the lower amounts of sunlight we get. Especially in the North where the daylight hours feel almost nonexistent. and production of serotonin is affected by our exposure to the sun and SAD is tied to having lower levels of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2290997\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the sun does us <em>a lot <\/em>of good<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"reach-out-to-principles-recovery-center-today\"><\/span>Reach Out to Principles Recovery Center Today!&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rehab in South Florida is looking better and better isn\u2019t it?
