Personal Training & Gym: Physical exercise releases natural endorphins, helping to stabilize mood and improve sleep.
Massage Therapy: Reduces the physical tension and pain often associated with withdrawal and early recovery.
Mindfulness & Expression
Yoga & Meditation: Teaches clients how to quiet the mind and remain present, a crucial skill for managing anxiety.
Art & Music Therapy: Provides a non-verbal outlet for processing complex emotions and trauma.
Spiritual Healing

Frequently Asked Questions
Are holistic therapies a replacement for medical treatment?
No. At ARC, we view holistic therapies as 'adjunct' or supportive services. They are designed to work alongside, not replace, our core clinical treatments (such as Medical Detox and CBT) to enhance your overall well-being and reduce stress during recovery.
I am not religious. Do I have to participate in spiritual healing?
Not at all. We define 'spirituality' broadly as finding meaning, purpose, and connection—whether that is through nature, science, or personal reflection. We respect your individual worldview and do not impose any specific religious dogma.
How does nutrition affect addiction recovery?
Chronic substance abuse often depletes the body of essential vitamins and minerals, which can worsen anxiety and cognitive fog. Our nutritional program is designed to repair this physiological damage, helping to stabilize your mood and energy levels so you can focus on therapy.
Do I need experience to do Yoga or Art Therapy?
No experience is necessary. These sessions are therapeutic, not competitive. The goal is not to create a masterpiece or perform a perfect pose, but to provide a non-verbal outlet for processing emotions and learning to reconnect with your body.
Why is physical fitness part of the program?
Exercise is a powerful tool for regulating brain chemistry. Physical activity releases natural endorphins and dopamine, which helps to alleviate the depression and sleep disturbances that are common in the early stages of recovery.
