Our Philosophy: Treating the Whole Person
At Caron, we believe that true recovery involves treating the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Addiction impacts every aspect of an individual’s life, and so must the path to healing. That’s why our approach to physical wellness goes beyond basic fitness and nutrition, focusing on the integration of personalized physical health plans. By fostering this holistic balance, we empower our patients to build a foundation for lasting recovery.
The Science Behind Physical Health & Recovery
Research consistently shows that physical wellness is essential in addiction treatment. While physical activity has been proven to diminish drug use cravings and ease the withdrawal symptoms associated with substance use, nutrition is equally important, as it keeps your mind and body ready to manage the challenges of recovery.
At Caron, we emphasize the importance of nutrition and fitness as key components in rebuilding a healthy lifestyle.
