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.

Featured Employee

Welcome to our website. I am Michele Panko, CASAC and have been working at Veritas Villa for 10 years. I began as an Intern on the Women’s Unit and stayed on to become a Counselor’s Aid until I began my counseling career with the Women’s Treatment Team. I find my work extremely fulfilling and rewarding helping women to start their lives over in recovery as I was helped 13 years ago when I began my own journey. I look forward to seeing you when you visit the Villa.
