Nature as a Healing Partner
I can appreciate that the serene environment and the tranquil setting plays a big role in your recovery here. They understand that nature is in many ways a healer in itself, and it makes it much easier to find yourself when you are surrounded by fresh air and nature’s beauty.
Amenities and Activities
Some of the amenities that you encounter here include private and semi-private rooms to accommodate your personal needs for privacy and rest, as well as a yoga studio and different wellness activities that promote mindfulness.
They also offer hiking trails to encourage physical activity and connection with nature, as well as a swimming pool. They have other recreational activities and facilities that are geared towards just that. One dual diagnosis patient stated that they loved their experience there and that they were treated with love and respect.
