A Typical Day at Burkwood Treatment Center
A typical day at Burkwood begins with morning meditation in our rural country setting to encourage mindfulness and get the day off to a positive start. A series of group therapy sessions is followed by afternoon educational lectures and life skills training.
Clients participate in individual therapy sessions at least once a week and additional group sessions as needed. In addition to traditional support groups, Burkwood offers specialty treatment groups such as grief group, spirituality group, and other lectures and group sessions.
As a break from the full schedule of lectures and therapy, residents may participate in a variety of recreational activities including movies and games like horseshoes, volleyball, bocce ball, croquet and basketball. In the evening, patients attend in-house 12-Step meetings or community support group meetings before enjoying some quiet time to reflect on the day.
On weekends, patients may choose to attend religious services and visit with family between 2 and 4 p.m.
