December is Impaired Driving Prevention Month — an important reminder that the holiday season can bring added stress, heavier emotions, and increased substance use risks.

For many people, drinking or using becomes a way to cope with pressure, family dynamics, grief, or loneliness this time of year. But impaired driving doesn’t just impact the individual — it affects families, communities, and the people who love them.

At AM Health Care, we understand the complexities behind addiction and co-occurring mental health struggles. Our treatment programs support the whole person — addressing both substance use and the underlying emotional challenges that often accompany it.

If you or someone you care about is having a hard time this season, help is available.
You’re not alone, and reaching out is a sign of strength.

As we begin December, we’re recognizing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Awareness Month — an important reminder of how winter affects individuals navigating addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders.

📊 Key Insights:
• More than 10 million Americans experience SAD each year
• Women are 4x more likely to be affected than men
• Symptoms typically begin in late fall and intensify through January–February
• Reduced sunlight can worsen depressive symptoms, cravings, fatigue, and sleep disruption
• For individuals in recovery, seasonal changes may increase vulnerability and stress

These factors can significantly impact people working to stabilize their mental health while also addressing substance use. Winter can disrupt routines, increase emotional triggers, and complicate recovery efforts — but supportive treatment makes a measurable difference.

At AM Health Care, we specialize in treating addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders, offering structured, compassionate, evidence-based care across all levels of treatment.

If this season has been challenging — emotionally, mentally, or in your recovery journey — you’re not alone. Support is available, and healing is possible.

As we move through the holiday week, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or emotionally stretched thin. Gratitude doesn’t erase stress or trauma—but it does help shift the mind away from fear and back toward possibility.

At AM Health Care, we believe small moments of gratitude can support healing, connection, and long-term recovery.

✨ A warm meal
✨ A safe place to rest
✨ Someone who checks in
✨ The strength to keep going

These reminders matter.

If you or someone you love needs mental health or addiction support this holiday season, we’re here.

Feeling off? Overwhelmed? Like everything is “a lot” right now?

Here’s the reminder most of us need this time of year:

Sleep
Water
Sunlight
Movement

These four free, science-backed basics have the biggest impact on your mental health — especially during the holiday season.

Small habits = big mental health impact.

Here are simple ways to start the habits:
• Get 5 minutes of direct morning sunlight
• Drink a full glass of water before coffee
• Take a 2–5 minute walk or stretch break
• Try going to bed 20 minutes earlier

You deserve to feel better — and sometimes the smallest changes create the biggest relief.

If you’re needing more support, we’re here.

Your nervous system speaks before you do.
When you feel overwhelmed, irritated, numb, or “not yourself,” your body is letting you know it’s stuck in survival mode — not failing, not broken, not weak… just overwhelmed.

Here are signs your nervous system needs a reset (that most people miss):
• You’re “tired but wired” at night
• You startle easily
• You can’t tolerate small stressors
• Your thoughts feel fast or foggy
• You feel disconnected from yourself
• Your breathing stays shallow
• You wake up anxious
• Resting actually feels uncomfortable
• You crave numbing behaviors (scrolling, isolating, overeating, drinking)

These are not personality flaws.
They’re physiological signs that your brain and body are overwhelmed.

A quick reset you can use anytime:
✨ The Physiological Sigh

Inhale deeply through your nose.

Without exhaling, take a small second inhale.

Exhale slowly through your mouth.

Repeat 2–3 times.

This is one of the fastest ways to downshift your nervous system and send your brain a simple message: You’re safe.

Save this for the next time you feel overwhelmed.

And if dysregulation is starting to feel like your “normal,” AM Health Care is here to help you rebuild calm, clarity, and balance from the inside out.

Relapse Prevention Tip: Interrupt the Spiral
Cravings don’t last forever — but in the moment, they can feel overwhelming.
Here’s something most people don’t realize:

A craving loses power the moment you interrupt it.
Not fight it.
Not shame it.
Not “be stronger.”
Just interrupt it.

Try one of these interruption moves:
• Step into a different room
• Splash cold water on your face
• Call or text someone (“I need 2 minutes”)
• Put on a song
• Go outside for air
• Do 10 slow breaths
• Change your posture or location
• Say out loud, “This will pass.”

Interruption breaks the loop.
Breaking the loop gives you choice.
And choice is how recovery stays strong.

When stress rises, old coping patterns can sneak back in — even for people who’ve been doing well for a long time.

If you’re noticing:

• increased drinking
• using substances “just to take the edge off”
• trouble sleeping
• emotional numbness
• burnout or heaviness
• withdrawing from people
• feeling overwhelmed more days than not

You’re not alone, and you’re not doing anything wrong.

✨ Stress is one of the biggest triggers for relapse and emotional spiraling. Support is strength. ✨

At AM Health Care, we offer compassionate, evidence-based treatment that helps people stabilize, reconnect, and heal — without judgment.

Pema Chödrön reminds us:

“Nothing ever goes away until it’s taught us what we need to know.”

This is true in leadership, in personal development, and especially in mental health.
Patterns, stress, overwhelm, and burnout often repeat — not because people aren’t trying, but because healing requires support, reflection, and guided care.

At AM Health Care, we provide comprehensive behavioral health services designed to meet people exactly where they are:

• Residential, detox, IOP & PHP
• Specialized programs for men, women, veterans & first responders
• Trauma-informed treatment delivered by a dedicated clinical team
• Virtual IOP options nationwide

If someone you know is struggling, we’re here to help.
