8 Ways to Well-Being: Nutrition

At Casa Capri Recovery, your happy, healthy and long-term sobriety is our top priority. We understand the complex and sensitive issues that women face in recovery—including matters around food, body image issues, and eating disorders—and we’ve got the tools to help you change negative patterns and behaviors so you can approach food in a healthy, positive way. 

Many women that come to Casa Capri Recovery have struggles with food in addition to a substance abuse disorder. The good news is that your past need not dictate your future. Our nurturing and experienced staff has helped hundreds of women overcome eating obstacles and cultivate healthy relationships with both their bodies and what they put into them.

Upon arrival to substance abuse treatment women are often suffering from malnutrition, dehydration, and the co-morbidities that surround the effects of chemical abuse. Each client is medically evaluated and screened so our Nutritionist and Diet Tech have the blueprint to begin designing her perfect nutritional plan while she is with us.

Our primary job is to educate our clients so they can begin to understand the many roles of nutrition and help them begin their own nutritional path to health and healing. 

We believe in a collaborative approach and our client’s involvement in the process is key to her successful outcome for a sustained healthy lifestyle. Each meal is prepared daily with the freshest ingredients and even caters to most dietary restrictions and allergies. Weekly hands-on cooking classes and weekend meal planning is not only an effective teaching tool but helps create a sense of community.

Our Nutrition Program will support you as you transition from the structure of our inpatient rehab center and into your new life of sobriety. We offer weekly cooking classes with our licensed Nutritionist, education on nutrition, recipes, how to read and understand nutrition facts, meal planning, and how to use healthy foods to fuel your mind, body and spirit. Health really is the greatest wealth we have, and it all starts on your plate.
