Nutrition and Exercise Programs for Recovery
Substance use disorder takes a devastating toll on the body. Years of addiction often result in severe nutritional deficiencies, muscle wasting, weakened immune function, and disrupted metabolic processes. At RECO Island, our nutrition and exercise program is designed to systematically restore your physical health, rebuild your strength, and establish healthy habits that support long-term recovery. We believe that a healthy body is the foundation for a healthy mind.
How It Works
Your nutrition and exercise program begins with a comprehensive assessment of your current physical health, dietary habits, and fitness level. Our team creates a personalized plan that accounts for any dietary restrictions, food sensitivities, or medical conditions. Meals at RECO Island are prepared by our culinary team using fresh, whole ingredients designed to support detoxification and recovery. Exercise programming includes cardiovascular activity, strength training, yoga, and outdoor recreation, all supervised and adapted to your current fitness level.
