The 8 Dimensions of Wellness: A Holistic Approach to Sober Living

Empowering Individuals to Recover, Rebuild, and Reintegrate

At ALL FOR ONE HOUSING, we believe recovery is about more than overcoming addiction—it’s about creating a balanced, healthy, and fulfilling life. Our Wellness Program, based on SAMHSA’s 8 Dimensions of Wellness, offers a holistic approach to help residents recover, rebuild their lives, and reintegrate into society with confidence and purpose.

Physical Wellness

This involves taking care of your body through proper nutrition, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and routine medical check-ups. Physical wellness helps repair the damage caused by substance use and boosts overall health.

Emotional Wellness

Managing your emotions and coping with stress in healthy ways is essential. This includes recognizing and expressing your feelings, seeking support when needed, and practicing mindfulness or relaxation techniques.

Social Wellness

Building and maintaining healthy relationships is key. Engage with supportive friends and family, participate in group activities, and avoid social isolation, which can be a trigger for relapse.

Spiritual Wellness

Finding purpose and meaning in life can provide strength during recovery. This might involve exploring your beliefs, practicing meditation, or participating in religious or spiritual activities.

Occupational Wellness

Having a fulfilling job or engaging in meaningful activities like volunteering can enhance your sense of purpose and satisfaction. It’s important to find balance and avoid work-related stress.

Intellectual Wellness

Keeping your mind active and engaged through learning new skills, reading, or engaging in creative activities can help restore cognitive functions affected by substance use.

Environmental Wellness

Creating a safe and supportive living environment is crucial. This includes having a clean, organized space and surrounding yourself with positive influences.

Financial Wellness

Managing your finances responsibly can reduce stress and anxiety. This involves budgeting, saving, and seeking financial advice if needed.
