Sober Living by the Sea has long recognized the benefit of keeping our clients in constant motion.

One of the benefits of our rehab facilities' Orange County location is that our clients enjoy taking advantage of all the enjoyable activities that are available to the in Southern California. We make sure the men and women are rewarded with daily activities that are physically challenging, socially rewarding, mentally stimulating, and spiritually invigorating.

Learning to Enjoy Life Sober is More than Just a Clinical Process

We keep our clients growing by attending many addiction workshops, recovery lectures, therapy sessions, process groups every week. The clients benefit from participating in the vibrant recovery community in and around our rehab centers in Newport Beach. However, there are only so many hours in a day that a client can sit in groups and counseling sessions effectively.

Our weekly rehab surf lessons help men and women learn to enjoy a life free from drugs or alcohol by getting them out in the ocean at the crack of dawn once a week. The men and women learn so much from the process. There are many analogies and metaphors that can be gained from this activity that requires:

  • balance
  • patience
  • dedication
  • perseverence
  • discipline
It is very empowering for the clients who are recovering in our drug treatment programs to build physical strength and self esteem through diving into the water and watching the sun rise with the dolphins and the birds surrounding them.

 

Our weekly surfing sessions are one of many ways that men and women learn to have fun in sobriety without drugs or alcohol. Visit our drug rehab activities page for information about the other outings offered at the Sober Living by the Sea network of drug and alchol treatment centers.
