Recovery Ways - Brunswick Place West and East

Tailored Programs for High-Stress and Underserved Professions

Through the Valor Healing Program and Care for Construction initiative, the facility serves veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and construction workers with trauma-informed care specifically adapted to the realities of their work. Through evidence-based therapies, family therapy, resilience training, pain management, and conflict resolution, these programs emphasize the higher risk of substance use and suicide among certain professions. Prioritizing community, purpose, and restoring function, the facility offers a path forward grounded in real-world needs.

Individual and Family Skill-Building

Occupational therapy helps clients regain practical life skills and workplace confidence, while recreational therapy and structured movement are key components in daily programming. The Family Program educates and empowers loved ones to participate meaningfully in the recovery process. Participants explore how relationships may have been strained by addiction or mental health struggles and are given tools to rebuild trust and support post-treatment. Together, these therapies help clients process emotion, build social connections, and benefit from an informed support network.

Holistic Therapies to Process Physical and Emotional Pain

The sensory integration room uses lighting, textures, sound, and movement tools to help clients develop self-soothing strategies that can be used in everyday life. This therapy is particularly beneficial for clients coping with trauma, anxiety, or emotional dysregulation. Other holistic therapies prioritize pain management programming to address physical discomfort and its connection to depression, anxiety, and isolation. Patients learn to safely reduce pain-related medications while gaining mental clarity and functional movement, aided by therapies like functional restoration, grief work, mindfulness, and anti-inflammatory strategies.

Ongoing Peer and Social Support for Alumni

Graduates receive six months of no-cost virtual aftercare, including weekly peer-led support groups via video conferencing. These groups maintain the bonds built during treatment and offer accessible accountability as clients reintegrate into daily life. The alumni program further supports sustained recovery through lifelong access to staff, sober recreational events, and volunteer opportunities. Whether online or in person, alumni stay connected with a community that understands their journey and helps them stay on track.

Patient Reviews
