The National Institute on Drug Abuse estimates that 40 to 60% of those addicted to drugs and alcohol will relapse after seeking treatment for their addiction. Relapsing tends to be a part of the recovery process while you get settled into a drug-free routine, especially during times of stress. However, these are temporary setbacks.
It is possible to reduce your odds of relapsing when you take the steps to heal your mind and body before you return to the daily grind. You might consider completing a program that improves sober living for executives to help you transition back into your life.
Continue reading for a glimpse into executive sober living and the luxurious amenities that come with the higher price tag.
Addiction doesn’t discriminate. It is an equal opportunity disease that can affect anyone regardless of socioeconomic status. Even CEOs and other business executives can become addicted to drugs and alcohol.
Executives are expected to be on top of their game 24/7. They have to make difficult decisions that may impact their financial success.
This stress of their jobs may push them to substance abuse to keep up with the demands. On top of that, they can’t just remove themselves from their triggers (especially if their triggers are work-related).
Recovery isn’t something that is going to happen overnight. It’s something that you will have to work to maintain for the rest of your life.
Everyone is different when it comes to learning new skills and coping mechanisms. You may find that you may spend anywhere from 60 days to a year in a transitional living environment before you can return to your life.
The transition from rehab or detox directly back into your normal routine increases your chance of relapsing. A successful adjustment depends on your ability to create a life that doesn’t revolve around your dependence on drugs and alcohol.
Living in a sober living home provides residents with a structured environment designed to help them develop a new routine. The most important aspect of a sober living community is that you’re learning how to manage without drugs and alcohol.
Some sober living homes help their residents to learn the life skills that they need to live a long, financially independent life. As a business person, it’s likely that you already have these skills. So, your programs may not include these things.
Executive sober living homes are available for like-minded individuals. Everyone here is going through personal struggles while navigating a drug-free life.
Other executives, however, are more likely to understand how stressful your work life is. They understand the pressure you might be under to run a successful business.
At The Little Beach House, we understand that you can’t just walk away from your executive responsibilities. This may prevent you from seeking help and going to rehab. After all, if you take too much time off, you might not have a business to return to.
Working through a sober living program for executives can help you manage your work and reassess your personal life.
Executive sober living programs tend to be more expensive than other programs. They offer top-of-the-line amenities tailored to their residents’ specific needs. As the founder of a successful startup, you might be used to a more lavish lifestyle and you can likely afford it!
Your average sober living facility restricts its residents’ access to mindless distractions while they rebuild their lives. Our beachfront property in Venice Beach is close to the beach where you can spend your days taking surf lessons. You’ll even be within walking distance of volleyball courts, tennis courts, and a skate park.
While sober living homes might limit your exposure to the outside world, an executive sober living home might provide you with the means to continue running your business.
You might have access to your phone or the internet so that you can keep tabs on what’s going on in the office. They might even have access to workspaces and conference rooms.
We understand that as the founder of a startup you live in the public eye. These facilities may even increase security to protect the identities of their residents. They have a higher degree of personal privacy so that they can protect your reputation while you get back on your feet.
Your main goal while living in a sober living environment is to create a routine that will help you relieve stress and work through the demands of your job without turning to substances. During the first week at the Little Beach House, you’ll figure out what you want that routine to look like. Your routine will help you reach your goals while you learn more about who you are and what you like to do.
You may choose to focus on your mental health or your physical wellness (or both!). Your days may involve going to therapy or hitting the gym.
At the Little Beach House, you can work through your problems in individual therapy sessions or intensive outpatient programs. You might even consider attending reiki therapy or sound bath healing sessions. The rooftop is a great place to do some yoga or lounge about in the sun.
We also have access to a network of partners and providers that offer luxury services for our residents. Some of these services include massages and acupuncture. Other types of therapy available are biofeedback (where you learn to control certain body functions), hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and even equine-assisted therapy.
Once you begin your road to recovery, you will need to learn how to stay sober. Going through rehabilitation and detoxification may not be enough to begin living sober. You can do this by transitioning into sober living for executives before returning to your normal, high-stress lifestyle.
