Healthy Living Program

Incorporating a Health and Wellness Program into an Intensive Therapeutic Program for substance use is critical for the overall treatment plan of individuals. At Terradyne we understand that paying attention and prioritizing our client’s body, mind and spirit thoroughly has an exceptional affect on long term recovery and is just as important as the therapeutic component. 

Having the combination of body, mind and spirit creates a more comfortable and engaging therapy for clients, where they will acknowledge that overall well-being and happiness can come from the simplest things. 

There are three fundamental components that are integrated into the Healthy Living Program at Terradyne: 

Nutrition 

Having a proper diet to fit nutrient needs when recovering

Recreation 

Fitness along with activities to strengthen clients' social, emotional and physical dimensions

Spirituality 

Helps clients find meaning within themselves and focus on recovering

When the elements of nutrition, recreation and spirituality are combined, they are used to create a personalized wellness plan which is implemented into the Intensive Therapeutic Program. 

Three recognized characteristics that are influential in sustaining long term abstinence include confidence, courage and positivity, which can ultimately be accomplished through Terradyne’s Healthy Living Program. 

Those who may be new to recovery can learn to maintain a healthy body as well as a healthy mindset

during their time at Terradyne.

  Counselling and therapy are key components to an addiction recovery treatment program. Individuals who are in recovery are taught healthy ways to cope with difficult emotions and behaviours. However, it is hard for a malnourished brain and body to fully engage in treatment and learn the necessary tools to heal. When an individual makes the decision to receive guidance for their drug and/or alcohol addiction, they will begin a gradual process to reach their full recovery potential which includes several steps. A significant step that sometimes goes unnoticed is the status of the client’s nutritional health. 

Nutrition is one of the many important concerns that require immediate attention in the addiction recovery process. Within the first year of the recovery process, the need for a nutritious diet is higher than ever. 

Not only will a proper diet help with the body’s recovery, but the mind and overall well-being will be strengthened through proper nourishment. 

With all things considered, nobody can be fully active in a recovery program when undernourished, which is why this nutrition program for Terradyne was developed. 

Nutrition activities include weekly nutrition classes, a weekly cooking class with our head chef

and individualized nutrition plans, as requested.

At Terradyne, the main priority of the Recreational Therapy Program is to improve and/or maintain physical, cognitive, social, emotional and spiritual functioning in our clients. The program at Terradyne includes, but is not limited to, providing treatment services and recreation activities to our clients using a variety of techniques. These techniques include art therapy, animal therapy, interactive sports and games, dance and movement, drama, music therapy, and local community outings. Clients will have the opportunity to step out of their comfort zone and engage in something that may challenge them or revisit an activity that they potentially once loved. Surrounding Terradyne are beautiful beaches that stretch all along the coastline and numerous hiking trails that wind through thick woods; in which clients will have the time to visit frequently. Terradyne understands that recreation therapy is deeply complementary to the counselling that clients receive during the recovery process. 

Terradyne’s Recreational Therapist will physically show the clients that it is possible to have an enjoyable time without the use of a substance. 

Our Rec Therapist will treat and help maintain the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of the clients by seeking to reduce depression, stress, and the anxiety developed by residing in a new unfamiliar place to recover from substance abuse. Recovery of basic motor function, confidence building, and effective socializing skills will all be included in the treatment plan at Terradyne.

RECREATION ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:

ART CLASSES

PERSONALIZED FITNESS PROGRAM (as requested)

BOOTCAMP WORKOUTS

YOGA CLASSES

JOURNEY DANCE

GAME NIGHTS

HIKING

 At Terradyne, we understand that having the opportunity to connect with oneself spiritually, can have such a huge impact on the recovery process, presently and long term. Spirituality is that part of yourself which helps you find meaning, connectedness, and purpose in life, and here at Terradyne we ensure our practice includes this segment. 

Clients will have the opportunity to explore holistic practices such as yoga classes, frequent mediation in various peaceful locations, connecting with nature, and sound bathing to create harmony within. 

Terradyne is pleased to offer the option to our clients in opening pathways to spirituality by attending outside 12-step meetings or work alongside a spiritual advisor. 

Mental health complications combined with substance abuse can leave great stressors on the human body, which include anxiety, depression and physical pain. It is beneficial to have a treatment recovery program that includes elements that can benefit these stressors, such as yoga. While Terradyne’s clients are in active recovery with a chaotic mind and body, they will have immense freedom to take part in our spirituality program and help themselves in a way they possibly never expected.
