Why is exercise important in addiction recovery?

Training gives stress somewhere to go, helps with sleep and gives you a routine to show up for. At AnchorPoint the gym is part of every week in residential treatment, and what comes up there gets talked through in group like everything else. The focus is sleep, stress and a routine you can keep.

Do I have to be fit to go to rehab with a gym?

Every level is welcome, and you start where you are. Whether you trained for years or it’s been a long time since you lifted anything, staff meet you at your level and you build from there, a little more each week.

Is there a gym in rehab at AnchorPoint?

Yes. The gym is in the house, and it’s open to you every day. It has a weight rack, a cable machine, a treadmill and an elliptical, and group meets in the same room too. The trails outside are there as well.

What kind of strength training is there in rehab?

Strength work and cardio in the gym, plus hiking on the trails around the house, both part of the weekly schedule. You train at your own level, and you measure yourself against your own last week.

Is exercise required in rehab?

Time in the gym is part of the week in residential treatment, alongside group, one-on-one therapy and 12-step meetings. You go at your own level, and staff meet you where you are. If an injury or a health condition limits what you can do, tell admissions when you call.

Can I train at my own level in rehab?

Yes. Staff meet you where you are, and you start with what your body can do today. Each week you show up and build a little more. You set the pace with staff beside you.

Will I leave rehab with a fitness routine?

Yes. The routine you build here goes into your plan for after AnchorPoint, set up before day 30. Week one you start where you are, and by week four it’s a routine you can take home. Read more about the plan for after AnchorPoint.

What else is there besides the gym?

The gym is one of four things on the weekly schedule. You also hike in the pines and granite around the house, do ground-based work with horses, and go on outings off site. All of it is staff-led and part of adventure therapy at AnchorPoint.

Does AnchorPoint offer CrossFit?

Yes. AnchorPoint partners with CrossFit for classes and personal training, alongside daily access to the gym in the house and regular strength training. You train at your own level, with coaching when you want it.

Is there a nutritionist in rehab at AnchorPoint?

Yes. A licensed nutritionist is part of the program, and meals are catered by a professional catering company and eaten together. If you have a food allergy or a diet you follow, tell admissions when you call, while you plan what to bring.

Can exercise replace therapy in addiction recovery?

Exercise works best alongside therapy. In residential treatment at AnchorPoint the gym sits in the same week as group, one-on-one therapy, 12-step meetings and medical care, and what comes up in training gets talked through in group.
