The Science of Habit [Video Infographic]

Habits can have a positive influence in our lives, but they can also be extremely harmful if you pick up a bad one. Half of what we do in life is because of habits. Think about your morning routine. Do you leave the cap off of the toothpaste or do you fold your towel a certain way?

While good habits are to be encouraged, bad habits can lead to addictions. This motion graphic on the Science of Habit will help you determine where you are in the habit cycle and how you can break a bad habit.

This place saved my son and our family! Awesome counselors and staff. After 9 years of multiple facilities we found 12 Keys. One year later my son is clean and doing well. Thank you 12 Keys.

As an industry professional 12 Keys has become one of my most trusted resources. Patient care and engagement are always top notch, and I know that I can always trust that the patient and their families will be in the best position to recover. Solid clinically, and more importantly these are good and genuinely caring people. I cannot recommend 12 Keys at the River enough for those struggling with addiction.

This place saved my life. The team that helped me get in was very helpful and showed that they really care. They made the detoxing portion 10x easier to deal with than trying cold turkey. The programming has an excellent balance of class and activities. I learned so much there. Just the ability to cope with life. They've set me up for success with a boat load of tools and the team they have to support your recovery is amazing. Thanks journeypure
