Despite being one of the most difficult addictions to overcome, alcoholism can be treated effectively. There are a variety of proven and effective treatments for those living with alcoholism, including red light therapy. Although this type of treatment might appear unorthodox, it offers a number of advantages, such as:
Improved Mental Health: Red light therapy sessions and red light therapy, in general, have been found to help reduce anxiety and tension. This helps a person recovering from alcoholism to relax, enter a more positive mindset, and reduce their irritability. By improving one’s mental state, one can more easily commit to their recovery.
A More Natural Sleep Cycle: Many alcoholics find it difficult to sleep once they become sober. Red light therapy might be of assistance. One of the causes of sleep problems is from irregular lighting during the waking hours. By exposing themselves to bright red light during red light therapy sessions, the light itself helps subconsciously reinforce the distinction between waking and sleeping.
