Recovery is not just about staying away from substances—it’s about rebuilding a healthy relationship with your mental well-being. At Casa Leona Recovery Center, we encourage clients to regularly check in with themselves. A mental health check-in helps you become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and triggers while creating space for self-compassion and healing.
Why Mental Health Check-Ins Matter
During recovery, emotions can feel overwhelming and difficult to process. Taking a moment to pause and ask yourself intentional questions can prevent stress from escalating into cravings or setbacks. It also builds resilience and clarity, which are essential for long-term sobriety.
10 Questions for Your Mental Health Check-In
