Recreation Therapy

Acqua Recovery’s recreation therapy helps people develop healthy life skills like emotion management and empathy. The rehab center achieves this by implementingrecreational activities such as sports, yoga, hiking, and other light physical tasks.

These activities also provide a venue for residents to interact with other people in complete sobriety, which, in turn, helps in the social re-integration process. Acqua Recovery believes that holistically approaching rehabilitation is key to recovery: by helping a person achieve positive physical health, positive mental health will soon follow.

Physiological Benefits

Studies confirm that there is a correlation between physical and mental health. This correlation is evident in how the mind responds to a healthy body: a decrease in depressive and anxious episodes, a decrease in the chances of relapse, and an improvement in the overall mood of a person.
