What to expect
What to expect.
A complement to clinical care, not a replacement
Holistic therapies work best with evidence-based treatment, not instead of it. They give clients healthy ways to cope, express, and heal.
Why it matters
Recovery means building a life worth staying sober for. These therapies help clients rediscover focus, calm, creativity, and joy.
Featured
Our featured therapies.
Each one is included in treatment and works alongside clinical care, not in place of it.
New
Sound therapy
Our newest therapy. You settle in comfortably while calming tones and vibrations fill the room, an easy way to practice relaxing and let your body slow down. No experience is needed, just a willingness to rest and listen.
Music therapy
Music can say what is hard to put into words. Sessions can include listening, talking about songs that matter to you, or making music together, and no musical experience is needed.
Weekly
Yoga and meditation
Yoga runs weekly, alternating between men's and women's sessions, and builds strength, flexibility and body awareness at a gentle pace. Breathing and meditation practices teach simple ways to calm your mind that you can keep using long after treatment.
