Unraveling Trauma to Heal Addictive Behaviors in Silver Springs

I noticed that they focus on treating those who’ve experienced trauma. You’ll stay in their warmly welcoming home for a 90 day program. If 90 days isn’t possible then 30 is the minimum length of stay. You can go through detox and join their live in program, after which you’ll move on to part time treatment.

Unconventional Therapy Options in Sunny Florida

What I love about their approach to recovery is the variety of unusual options you have for experiential therapies to ease addictive behaviors. For example, cinema therapy helps those who’ve experienced painful, traumatic experiences to open up about what they’ve been through by relating to the characters on screen.

Another unusual offering is somatic therapy. You’ll work with the areas of the body where you may have stored emotions from traumatic events as energy. You’ll find relief through activities such as stretching, exercise, massage or skin treatments.

The beautiful location of the home lends itself to outdoor adventure therapy. For me, the value of this type of treatment lies in putting people in an environment where they have to trust each other and work as a team. The benefit of physical exercise and fresh air is also a huge bonus.
