Life skills are vital for functioning in society and living a healthy, productive life. From communication to problem solving, life skills are the tools people use daily to navigate relationships, work, and everyday tasks. Addiction can interrupt an individual’s ability to interact and function in society, which creates an imbalance that requires special care and training to restore.
Life skills training at Calvary Healing Center can help patients learn how to interact with others, develop healthy habits, and manage stress in a constructive way. Through individual counseling sessions and group activities, patients can gain insight, strategies, and motivation to take control of their lives and make positive changes. As part of our addiction therapies, this program provides the support and guidance participants need to build confidence and make meaningful progress.

What Are Life Skills?
Life skills are the abilities and knowledge people need to manage their emotions, interact with others, make decisions, and handle basic tasks. These skills are divided into three categories:
- Personal skills like self-care and resilience
- Social skills like communication and teamwork
- Practical skills such as problem solving and time management
Each of these skills is necessary for an individual to build and maintain healthy relationships, succeed in work and school, and have a positive outlook on life.
How Addiction Impacts Life Skills
Addiction can have a profound effect on an individual’s ability to use these life skills. Drug and alcohol addiction can impair decision-making, cause poor communication and relationship skills, and interfere with an individual’s ability to manage emotions or stress.
At Calvary Healing Center, we understand the impact addiction can have on life skills and offer training to help individuals gain confidence, rebuild relationships, and take control of their lives.
