The Recreation Center
The social epicenter of our community, the Rec Center provides residents with the psychosocial stimulation so vitally necessary as a protection against drug cravings and isolation. An arcade game room, a quiet room for chess and board games, an expansive area for air hockey, ping pong, pool, and mega screen television, as well as comfortable sofas, vibrant colors, and clean light stave off the boredom and sense of dullness that can challenge men in early recovery. Loneliness, isolation, and separation are more easily alleviated when engagement with others is activity-focused. The bonds of friendship and brotherhood develop and strength when just “hanging out” is centered around healthy activity.
The pain of addiction is inevitable, but suffering in recovery can be optional. Riverbank House living is unpretentious and casual, yet purposefully structured to provide each of us with a refuge of peace and tranquility. Every amenity and comfort available to residents is intended to aid in our total recovery – mind, body, and spirit.
Whether your needs at any given time are social, spiritual, recreational, or reflective, Riverbank House amenities support and encourage new beginnings, new perspectives, healthy choices, and the practice of life-long wellness.
