Emotional and Physical Disease

Addiction is both an emotional and physical disease. Many are surprised to learn that drugs not only damage the mind, but also the body, and physical activity is as important as counseling in helping an addict recover.

rehab Activities

12 Palms recovery Center offers a large air-conditioned private gym, where clients have access to a personal trainer to help heal the body while counseling sessions work on the soul. In addition, daily activities that prepare the patients for life after treatment are also slowly incorporated. These activities include everything from basic everyday tasks to life skills one can use to strengthen sobriety.

Many recovery centers, like 12 Palms, also believe it is important that those undergoing treatment have time to mix in fun. Counseling sessions that uncover the cause of the addiction can be difficult and draining, and fun is an important stress reliever. Plus, an addict could uncover a new drug-free hobby or interest that could help in times of temptations or urges after they leave the facility.

Located in Jensen Beach on the scenic East Coast of Florida, 12 Palms Recovery Center offers a variety of activities unique to the such an ideal location. Counselors at 12 Palms often organize activities such as:

  1. snorkeling
  2. kayaking
  3. swimming
  4. fishing
  5. board surfing
  6. deep-sea fishing excursions
  7. trips to the beach
  8. bowling
  9. and other fun recreational outdoor activities

Regain Social Skills

These activities not only provide welcome relief, but also the opportunity for clients to regain social skills free from the influence of drugs or alcohol.

If you or a loved one are ready to tackle addiction, call 12 Palms today. The caring counselors will design a treatment plan to heal both the mind and body, and designed specifically for the individual.
