Daily treatment activities are carefully planned to help each patient understand what it means and what it takes to recover from addiction. The patient’s daily schedule is structured to include intensive therapy and education while still allowing time for personal reflection and relaxation.

INDIVIDUALIZED ATTENTION FROM CLINICAL STAFF
Each patient works with a licensed addiction counsellor who serves as his or her primary therapist. Counsellors meet with individual patients regularly to focus on personal issues and monitor treatment progress. Each counsellor leads a small group of patients who meet daily for group therapy. Harmony maintains small group sizes and low patient-to-counsellor ratios, allowing for personal attention from staff.

EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS
Patients gain essential knowledge and insight about the disease of addiction through the wisdom and experience of staff and guest speakers. Therapeutic lectures cover topics relevant to individuals in early recovery. Presenters, including Harmony clinicians, alumni, and other invited speakers, offer insight and education about important treatment concepts such as “acceptance” and provide inspiration through personal stories of addiction and recovery.

SPECIALISED APPOINTMENTS
Each patient’s day has time built-in for individualised appointments with professionals from their interdisciplinary treatment team. These might include meetings with professionals who specialise in mental health, smoking cessation, spiritual care, nutrition, or wellness.

PERSONAL TIME
Patients take time each day for reflection and relaxation. Individual treatment plans frequently include reading assignments to support personal goals for recovery. By making time for relaxation and recreational activities, patients discover how to build healthy new practices into their daily recovery.

NUTRITIONALLY BALANCED MEALS
Eating well is part of a healthy recovery. We provide delicious, wholesome meals to our patients. Mealtimes at Harmony are a time to slow down, enjoy the company of fellow patients, and be nourished.

TIME FOR FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHER PATIENTS
The experience of sharing with, and learning from, other patients in treatment is helpful and meaningful. Through mutual support and day-to-day feedback with each other, patients begin to understand the need for fellowship and ongoing support in recovery.
