At The Sanctuary at Sedona, your mental, physical and spiritual health is our top priority. Through science-backed techniques, our Brain-Body Recovery Lab helps us best understand your situation, craft a personalized treatment plan and get you on the road to recovery.
The Brain-Body Recovery Lab at The Sanctuary is an integrative program that can help you heal from addiction, depression, anxiety and trauma. We support both the brain and body with functional medicine assessments and extensive bloodwork, spotting nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, hormone imbalances or organ stress.
Using personalized results, we will craft a plan that may include:
The goal of the Brain-Body Recovery Lab is to improve various physical and mental conditions, such as energy, sleep and self-regulation. The Sanctuary team aims to make results stick long-term by:
Initially, each client will go through a functional medicine assessment and laboratory bloodwork for our team to get a comprehensive look at potential imbalances, deficiencies or conditions that need support. From there, we can guide individual treatment programs that prioritize and address your needs and goals.
Here’s a quick look at our process:
Some fundamental principles of brain-body recovery involve self-experimentation and optimization. At its core, brain recovery is about encouraging individuals to take charge of their biology and challenging traditional medicine methods. Here are some of the top five places we start with brain lab recovery tools.
Very few know that nutrition and addiction recovery can go hand in hand. What you eat can impact your health and play a part in your addiction recovery. At The Sanctuary, we encourage clients to eat plenty of protein, vitamins and minerals to support brain functions. Your personal plan can include daily supplements as part of an effort to support your nutrition.
During the 30-day program, we provide gourmet farm-to-table meals to help clients feel their best. We also offer gardening and nutrition courses to teach clients to continue healthier habits outside of treatment.
Our brains need proper sleep to operate at their best every day. Sleep can help keep us alert, boost our problem-solving skills and lower stress levels, which is critical for our physical and mental health.
We can help you find a sleep schedule that works best for you so that you create healthier habits. Some tips we start with to optimize sleep include avoiding stimulants, heavy meals before bed, evening screen time and napping throughout the day.
Moving your body releases chemicals called endorphins, which can boost mood and improve overall mental well-being. This makes exercise one of the first natural treatment options for those with a mental health condition or addiction.
We have a state-of-the-art gym on campus for clients to use for stress management and physical wellness. Our gym is a safe space for you to try out different types of physical activities, such as walking, yoga, running or weight lifting.
Prolonged periods of elevated stress can lead to anxiety, depression, addiction and panic disorders. The Sanctuary uses biofeedback technology to discover what stress management techniques can work best for you, such as practicing mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing and more.
Through today’s advanced biotechnology, we have more power to track our mental health than ever before. Smartwatches and smartphone apps are equipped with health-monitoring features such as sleep patterns, heart rate, blood pressure and activity levels — all factors that are important to brain recovery.
Some of the biotechnologies we use in our brain-body recovery lab include:
Cold plunge therapy involves short periods of immersion in cold water, which can help reduce inflammation, improve circulation and support muscle recovery. These effects can translate to improved mental clarity, reduced anxiety and better emotional regulation.
