One physiological reason addicts go back for more drugs and alcohol is that their brain begins to crave that dopamine surge even when they just think about drug use. According to research conducted at Stanford University, drug and alcohol rehab based on Yoga and meditation may actually dampen dopamine activity in the basal ganglia. This is the part of the brain that's involved with control over motivation and attraction. By inhibiting that dopamine impulse, yoga helps inhibit cravings and negative emotional states that trigger drug use.

 

 

The will and determination yoga requires, helps people regain control over their body and their mind. Yoga can, in fact, alter brain neurology and help reduce cravings, anxiety, and fear; all responses that can lead to destructive behaviors.
