| dc.description.abstract | Substance use disorder relapse is commonly experienced amongst patients admitted to addiction recovery treatment centers. During the detox phase of addiction treatment, patients are offered psychoeducational therapeutic groups to assist in their recovery process. Tools and guides are offered to help maintain their sobriety post treatment. The purpose of this senior-level undergraduate internship was to provide a new therapeutic group for patients during their detox recovery. The group focused on exercise in the form of yoga as a rehabilitation aid. The program was designed so that case managers could repeat the exercise-based activity without the need for assistance. Surveys were distributed to collect patient feedback at the site. Data suggests exercise, in the form of yoga, is a beneficial therapeutic addiction recovery tool. | |
