Description
Very little evidence demonstrates the relationship between substance use and exercise addiction among emerging adults. A phenomenon referred to as “switching addictions” or “substitute addictions” is the substitution of one addictive behavioral pattern for another. People who are addicted to physical activity and exercise often have characteristics that are similar to people who have a substance use disorder. Both groups generally have low self-esteem, and both use either exercise or a chemical as a way of managing and/or manipulating psychological states. The purpose of this presentation is to explore the relationship between substance use and exercise behavior, more specifically focusing on the relationship between substance use, exercise frequency, exercise volume, exercise importance, exercise limits and exercise euphoria. Participants will learn how to recognize the early signs of “switching addictions” and how to help clients use a healthy balance of exercise for substance use disorder treatment.
