Helping You Learn to Manage Stress
When left unchecked, stress becomes hazardous to our physical and emotional health. For those caught in a web of addiction, stress is particularly damaging. It plays a principal role in the onset and development of substance abuse and is a major contributor to post-recovery relapse. At 10 Acre Ranch, our process groups, or “didactic groups,” provide the social support, coping, and problem-solving skills needed to deal with stress in a more constructive way. In addition, our small, homelike environment provides residents with a sense of security while they learn to manage troubling emotions and difficult circumstances.
Stress comes from a number of places, and is different for everyone
From financial crisis and job loss to interpersonal conflict or death of a family member, adverse situations lead people down the path of chemical dependency. Recognizing these stressors and understanding personal triggers is critical to optimizing recovery success. During stress management groups, members cultivate healthy coping habits and learn to avoid the stressors that lead to relapse. While nothing can be done to remove tension from an addict’s life, there are many teachable techniques that allow them to identify high-risk situations and manage stress more constructively.
Coping Strategies for Managing Stress

Physical & mind-body exercise programs
Healthy diet & lifestyle
Sports & leisure activities
