Stress Resilience and Addiction

Stress Resilience and Addiction

Stress resilience is a key factor in addiction prevention and recovery, as chronic stress is a major trigger for substance use. Individuals with low stress tolerance often turn to drugs or alcohol as coping mechanisms. Building resilience involves strengthening psychological and physiological responses to stress through strategies like mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and physical activity. Neuroplasticity plays a role in enhancing resilience, as the brain adapts to healthier coping mechanisms over time. Programs focused on stress management and resilience-building can reduce vulnerability to addiction and empower individuals in recovery to handle life's challenges without reverting to substance use.
