What To Expect During Addiction Treatment
You may be wondering what to expect during addiction treatment at The Ridge. Clients should expect to be busy and stick to a fixed schedule to maintain a sober lifestyle. Transitioning to a sober lifestyle requires self-reflection, work, and a commitment to building new habits that support a sober lifestyle.
Nutrition and Meals
As part of the treatment process, we provide well-balanced meals that provide the restorative nutrition you need for recovery. The importance of nutrition in addiction recovery is well known because people with long-term alcohol or drug addiction problems typically do not maintain a consistent, well-balanced diet that includes the vitamins and nutrients that the body needs to stay healthy. The Ridge strives to reach a balance between your dietary restrictions and reparative nutrition. You can request reasonable menu variations as needed. During your stay, you can expect:
- Three fresh, healthy meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- Healthy snacks to be available anytime.
- The option to select alternative meals if you cannot eat the main entrée for the day.
- To participate in weekly cooking classes designed to teach you how to cook nutritious and delicious meals.
Nutrition is the foundation of good health, and we hope you leave The Ridge capable of maintaining a healthy diet that supports ongoing sobriety.
Leisure and Relaxation
During treatment at The Ridge, you will have some – but not a lot – of leisure time. There are many opportunities to enjoy yourself and your time while reflecting on the hard work and progress you make during recovery. Some of these opportunities include:
- Reading, journaling, and meditation
- Hikes around the property
- Fishing in our stocked pond
- Swimming or relaxing poolside
- Watching TV
- Games, great conversation, and building friendships
- Offsite events, such as movies, family time, 12 step meetings, and visits to support groups
