CARF Accredited · Confidential · St. Catharines, OntarioRebuilding the Body Recovery Depends On
Addiction takes a physical toll. Purposeful movement restores strength, sleep and self-worth, and gives the day a healthy anchor.
What Physical Fitness Does in Recovery
Physical fitness plays a real part in addiction treatment, as a tool for recovery and for overall wellbeing. Regular exercise built into a recovery plan strengthens the body, and it lifts mental health too, easing the anxiety and low mood that so often travel with addiction.
By building a sense of achievement and self-worth it encourages the rest of the lifestyle to change with it, improving the ability to handle stress and to sit with a craving rather than act on it. Whether through the gym, running or team sport, physical activity gives stress somewhere to go — and a day something to be built around.

Physical Fitness With Twelve Mile
Integrating physical fitness into recovery gives people both mental strength and physical resilience for the challenges ahead, and our team treats physical activity as a therapeutic tool rather than a perk. We have watched what it does often enough to schedule it rather than offer it.
Regular exercise lowers stress, eases the symptoms of anxiety and low mood, and improves sleep — every one of which recovery depends on. It also releases endorphins, which take some of the edge off cravings and lift mood on the days that need it. That is why the gym is on the timetable here, not down the road.
See if It Fits
