Arista Recovery at Paola

Hands-On Holistic Therapy

Clients engage in therapies like equine care, art therapy, and horticulture therapy, hands-on activities that offer calm, focus, and emotional release. These approaches help people reconnect with their bodies and build confidence, especially if they struggle to open up in traditional sessions.

Empowering Clients to Understand Addiction and Recovery

Addiction education is a key part of treatment, helping people understand the why behind what they’re experiencing. Sessions cover everything from how substances affect the brain to how stress, trauma, or lifestyle may play a role. This kind of learning helps replace fear and shame with insight, giving clients the knowledge and confidence to understand their pasts and take control of their futures.

Open, Bucolic Supports Openness Among Clients

The large campus is covered with trees, trails, and open space, giving clients the quiet and peace of mind to focus on their healing. Inside, the rooms are spacious, the gym is well-equipped, and there’s a movie theater, art studio, and areas to relax or connect with others. It’s a place that feels safe, stable, and intentionally removed from daily triggers. For many, that change of environment is the first step toward building a different kind of life.

What Clients Say

Reviews frequently highlight the warmth and professionalism of the staff, as well as the calming atmosphere of the campus. Clients appreciate the wide variety of therapy options and the individualized attention they receive. Some note areas for improvement in billing clarity and discharge planning, but overall, feedback emphasizes a compassionate, well-rounded approach to care.
