Clients who enter inpatient addiction usually begin with a detox, where they slowly learn how to stop using drugs. With time, experts introduce them to other elements of treatment, such as group therapy, depending on how they are progressing and when they are ready for this leap.

All clients also have access to an onsite fitness exercise center and can take part in meditation and yoga classes per their preference.
