As part of your recovery process, many drug rehab clinics will encourage you to take up hobbies after leaving the centre in order to stay active, engaged and allow you to concentrate on new areas of your life, leaving the old ones behind.

They can be life-changing in themselves, meeting new, like minded people that provide a better influence on your life. But what are the best hobbies to take up after leaving rehab? 

Volunteering

Going through the rehab process you’ll find that you start to see the real benefit of helping people and how support networks are so instrumental in people getting through their life. It leaves you with a new sense of being, and many people channel that when they leave rehab through volunteering. 

Think about your interests and how you can volunteer and a help a cause. It’s perfect for leaving rehab as there’s no real pressure and there are tons of benefits, not least you get to meet new people and perhaps fall in love with something you never thought you would.

Yoga & Meditation

Throughout the rehab process, it’s likely you will have regularly undertaken yoga and meditation and seen the benefit it can have on your mind and body. It can form a vital part of a routine and that should be continued as you enter recovery and your day-to-day life.

These activities are great for the soul and they will help relieve stress, stay positive and have a clear and composed mind - all of which are vital when it comes to avoiding relapse.

Exercise Clubs

Exercise can come in all manner of forms, from walking to running, cycling to swimming, team sports to individual and joining a club is not only a great way to meet new people, but also get the blood pumping and release some endorphins.

You can pick a sport and exercise to suit you and the intensity in which you wish to exercise, but no matter what you choose, the benefits you will feel almost immediately. What’s more, why not try multiple clubs and get a taste of something new?
