Alta Loma’s Recreational Therapy and Community Integration Program
Recreational outings are an important part of the Alta Loma continuum of care, helping residents use leisure in beneficial ways to enhance their overall health, well-being and independence. Many who have struggled with mental illness or addiction may not feel comfortable in social situations or know what their interests are anymore. We have found that encouraging residents to have fun and explore new outlets for stress can help them reconnect with themselves and others, enhancing the recovery process in a meaningful way.
