Treating the Whole Person

Recovery encompasses care and attention to the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Fitness and nutrition are critical components of achieving physical health and supporting balanced emotional health.

Regular physical activity has been shown to improve symptoms of depression, reduce stress, and diminish cravings by altering brain chemistry. Nutrition is also critical to physical and mental health, keeping the body and mind alert, clear, and in balance.
