• Meditation: Meditation and mindfulness groups aim to help clients regulate emotions, reduce stress, and increase self-awareness.
• Gym visits and outdoor time: Members of the care team take clients to the gym at least three times per week. Groups also go on hikes so clients can spend time in nature.
• Weekend outings: On weekends, groups take trips to the aquarium, bowling alley, or other community attractions.

Developing your care plan

• Therapist assignment: Clients are assigned a primary therapist who will work closely with them throughout their stay.
• Flexible stays: The minimum residential stay is 30 days, but this is flexible, and clients usually stay between 30 to 60 days.

Who you will meet with

Aftercare

• Alumni activities: The alumni program, which offers lifetime support, involves weekly peer-led meetings, recreational gatherings such as softball and volleyball games, and quarterly get-togethers like barbeques and camping trips.
