Strength and Community for Real Recovery
“Transforming mind, body, and spirit through community, commitment, and connection.”
At Mana Recovery, Recover Strong is movement with purpose. It is a structured group training session that helps the body regulate, the mind settle, and people reconnect with themselves and others. The goal is not to become an athlete. The goal is to feel better, think more clearly, and engage in life again.
Why it Helps
Training in a community setting builds encouragement and accountability. People commonly report better stress tolerance, less anxiety and low mood, clearer thinking, more social connection, and higher confidence. Regular physical activity also supports healthy brain chemistry that can lift mood and reduce cravings, while improving overall physical health and energy.
Recover Strong was researched and developed based on the latest advancements in neuroscience, substance abuse treatment, and cognitive therapy. This process allows the brain to heal by utilizing physical training—specifically intense training that creates conditions for neuroregeneration.
What to Expect
Structure You Can Trust
Recover Strong sessions are designed to be approachable, structured, and supportive, so every participant knows exactly what to do and feels confident stepping in.
• Small group sessions led by trained staff who coach safe form and steady effort
• Scalable movements so beginners and seasoned participants both succeed
• A supportive environment that prioritizes safety, respect, and inclusion
• Clear warm up, focused work, and a short cool down
How it fits with your care
Recover Strong is a core part of our program model. By weaving exercise into treatment, we create more consistent engagement and stronger outcomes. When people feel physically stronger and more connected, attendance rises, participation deepens, and conflict drops. These gains carry into therapy sessions and daily life, supporting long-term recovery.
Who it is for
People enrolled in our PHP or IOP who can participate safely with medical clearance. Movements are always adapted for different abilities, pain limits, and mobility concerns so everyone can take part.
Safety and access
Before joining, participants are screened for medical and physical concerns. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and progress gradually. The focus is steady effort, good form, and consistency—never pushing beyond safe limits.
