Social Interaction Skills & Recreational Activities Programs

Standard to all dependency treatment planning at Veritas Villa is the focus on improved social skills and the positive use of free time in recreational activities. Learning to use free time wisely is a skill needed by all people in the early days of recovery.

Veritas Villa, set on over 100 acres of beautiful rural countryside, offers daily socail skills and recreational activities such as swimming, walking, yoga, miniature golf, arts and crafts and plenty of board games and puzzles.

Encouraging Social Interaction

Social interaction within each of the separate fellowships (men with men, women with women) is fostered to help create the atmosphere of trust and fellowship needed for the spiritual and emotional healing from chemical dependency.

Yoga Enhances the Recovery from Chemical Dependency

Clients at Veritas Villa are also invited to participate in yoga, stretching, and relaxation classes once or twice per week.

Through yoga postures, breathing techniques, meditation and deep relaxation, clients experience being in the body mentally, physically and spiritually.

Practicing yoga postures promotes the healing of the body, mind and spirit and enhances the recovery from chemical dependency.

For further information about admissions to our chemical dependency treatment program and other programs, please email us at .

Featured Employee

My name is Matt Ryan and I would like to welcome you to our website. I am 25 years sober and have worked at Veritas Villa for 16 years. I am a counselor on the men’s clinical team. I presently work with the uniformed officers and union members that served at Ground Zero. I believe that unresolved trauma will ultimately prevent some people from getting sober therefore it needs to be addressed in a safe supportive environment in early recovery. I look forward to seeing you when you come to the Villa!
