How Can Location Affect Your Recovery?

Real estate agents had it right when they coined the phrase, "location, location, location." While you're not looking for a long-term place to live when you're in recovery, the location where sober living programs take place can have just as dramatic an effect on your well-being as the place you call home. Recovery isn’t a vacation, but there is no reason that you can’t come away from your experience feeling renewed, relaxed and fully healed, just as if you’d enjoyed a long vacation at the ocean.

At Beaches Recovery, we understand the calming and healing effects of location. With airy, welcoming facilities located right on one of the most beautiful beaches of Florida, we offer our patients an unparalleled experience tailored to improve mood and healing, and enhance a sense of well-being.

Find out how our facility’s unique location uses all the senses to help you on your road to recovery.

Sight

The soft, cheerful colors of the common areas and bedrooms relax the mind and evoke a sense of peace. Gazing out at the ocean from the patio, you can envision yourself in paradise. Take a walk on one of our garden paths, examine the flowers and even catch a glimpse of the local wildlife.

Sound

The gentle waves nearby can lull you to sleep, while the staff and other patients’ laughter and friendly conversation at mealtimes help you feel secure and welcomed. Gentle sounds and soft music are among the most therapeutic senses you can experience.

Touch

Kick off your shoes to feel the soft sand of the beach under your feet or the dune grass tickle your toes. Indulge in an invigorating, yet relaxing, exercise class outdoors. Feel the sea breeze touch your face. Or just take comfort in the hugs of a friend.

Smell

Before mealtimes, take a moment to enjoy the scents of a healthy breakfast, lunch or dinner. Sit on the porch with a rejuvenating cup of coffee. Close your eyes and breathe in the unrivaled smell of the ocean. There is great healing to be found in aromatherapy, whether you get it from a natural source outdoors, from food or from candles or scented oils.

Taste

Enjoy the feeling that a healthy meal imparts, and take a moment with each bite to really savor and appreciate the taste. Exchanging bad habits for healthy foods is one of the best things you can do for your body.

Support

Our counselors and staff are committed to helping you heal, recover and experience each moment to the fullest with a new appreciation of life. At Beaches Recovery, we are proud of the natural aspects of our location, as well as the simple and inviting décor of our facilities. We created this place with your long-term healing in mind, and we are especially pleased that our location on the beach can help you use all your senses to aid in your recovery. This, combined with our therapy classes, group support and other services, offers you an extremely high chance of success to come away from our program with the tools and peace of mind to begin a new life. Sober living programs can be mundane, or they can be extraordinary. Click here to more detail.
