About Ken Seeley Rehab: Health and Mindfulness Programs for Substance Abuse
Part of achieving recovery is realizing that changes must be made with one’s lifestyle. Personal health, fitness, mindfulness, and awareness all play a major role in long term success. Learn about Ken Seeley Rehab and how we offer many health and mindfulness-based activities, including:
Daily Gym Sessions
Daily sessions at the gym will reduce and relieve stress, rebuild self-confidence and self-esteem, quiet the mind, and positively alter neurochemistry.
Yoga
Yoga provides a sense of well-being in its nurturing effect on the body and mind. The exercise produces natural endorphins while the postures and stretches relieve stress and tension throughout the body. Focusing on the breath and body position allows the mind to find calm and peace. All of these aspects are essential for a person in every stage of recovery.
Meditation
Meditation rewires critical pathways in the brain essential for patients in early recovery. It improves self-awareness, self-reflection, and stress management. Practicing meditation allows one to connect with their thoughts and reflect on their emotions to help reduce relapse. With strong mindfulness and meditation, addicts and alcoholics can observe their everyday situations and react to them safely without the use of drugs or alcohol.
Hiking
Hiking trails nearby provide open space, fresh air, and breathtaking views. Hike into Indian Canyon amongst groves of native California palm trees. Walk along the massive boulders and craggy cliffs of the nearby ridge. You could also take a trip up to the Pacific Crest Trail for sweeping views of Palm Springs and the entire Coachella Valley.
Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention Workshops
Mindfulness has been described as “paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.” It’s a centering practice similar to meditation, except with mindfulness the person in recovery learns to become aware of their emotions and triggers, not just to ignore them.
Life Coaching
Beyond therapy, life coaching is available for those who need extra help. This could be learning daily life skills such as laundry and food preparation. It could also mean working on resumes and job applications. There’s also the option of focusing on what to do next in their recovery.
Food Preparation and Meal-Planning Assistance
Learning to prepare and cook meals within your budget is an important part of finding stability in recovery. The staff is available for grocery shopping, planning week by week meals, and teaching you to eat the right foods for a strong body and mind.
