Just about everyone has hobbies or other activities they do in their free time for enjoyment or for education. Hobbies can also help someone beat addiction, recover from injury, or help them move past a traumatic incident. The therapeutic uses for sports and other activities is the whole reason the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System has a Recreational Therapy program to help Veterans recover for past injuries and also to simply enrich their lives.
