Recreational Therapy
At Origins, we use a wide range of activity-based interventions and techniques to improve the physical, mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual wellness of our patients. This work is key in assisting individuals as they develop life-skills, knowledge, and behaviors that support healthy lives in recovery.
Areas of focus during recreational therapy groups include:
- Development of a healthy, active lifestyle
- Stress management
- Emotional processing
- Healthy coping strategies
- Learning positive community interaction and reducing isolation
- Building positive relationships
- Emotional processing
- Increased self-esteem and self-worth
- Deepening the spiritual connection through body-based activity
Challenge Yourself
Through the group adventure experience, patients at Origins are given the opportunity to challenge themselves beyond their own personal physical abilities. This experiential form of therapeutic intervention involves the creation of opportunities with peers to explore the unknown. Under the direction of highly-trained recreational and wellness counselors patients can confront their fears and build confidence.
