Foundations for Recovery
A comprehensive, three-month program designed to stabilize symptoms, identify root causes, and build the skills needed for long-term health.
Foundations for Recovery is ideal for individuals with complex or treatment-resistant conditions who need an integrated, whole-person approach. Through coordinated psychiatric care, metabolic support, individual and group psychotherapy, movement and nutrition interventions, and structured skill-building, this program provides the essential groundwork for lasting healing.
Why Choose Foundations for Recovery?
Foundations offers consistent, high-touch support delivered by a multidisciplinary team working together on your behalf. We combine psychiatry, psychotherapy, metabolic and nutritional care, health coaching, fitness, and community integration into one coordinated plan tailored to your goals.
Unlike traditional treatment models, we address often-overlooked contributors to mental health challenges—such as sleep, environment, routines, metabolic health, diet, stress physiology, and daily life patterns. Your team collaborates across disciplines to provide realistic, day-to-day support that helps you build stability, confidence, and momentum.

How the Program Works
Foundations for Recovery begins with a four-day Advanced Assessment that gives our team a deep understanding of your mental, metabolic, and physical health. Using this information, we create a personalized, three-month treatment plan tailored to your goals, symptoms, and lifestyle. Throughout the program, you’ll participate in a structured schedule that may include psychiatry, individual therapy, group therapy, metabolic and nutritional support, health coaching, and guided community outings. Your team meets regularly to review your progress, adjust your plan, and ensure every part of your care stays aligned with your needs. By the end of the program, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what’s driving your health challenges and a sustainable roadmap for long-term healing.
Your Ongoing Treatment Experience
Aurora blends clinical care with practical, real-world support:
Therapeutic & Skills Groups
A mix of evidence-based therapy groups, life-skills workshops, recovery-focused sessions, and optional family groups. Topics may include emotional regulation, CBT/DBT skills, vocational readiness, digital literacy, relationship skills, mindfulness, and community integration.
Nutrition & Health Coaching
Weekly nutrition sessions support your metabolic and mental health goals, while health coaching provides accountability, structure, and day-to-day guidance.
Flexible, Evolving Structure Through Case Management
Case management plays a central role in shaping a treatment plan that reflects each person’s unique goals, daily routines, and real-world challenges. Your case manager works closely with you to translate the treatment plan into practical steps, offering hands-on support with implementing new skills, building structure, and navigating day-to-day needs. This may include a tailored blend of in-home visits, virtual sessions, office appointments, groups, and community-based support—adjusted over time as your needs and readiness evolve.
Getting Started
The first month of Foundations for Recovery centers on your Advanced Assessment and initial orientation. During this time, you’ll meet with your psychiatrist, therapist, dietitian, and health coach for a thorough evaluation of your mental and metabolic health, nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle. This process helps your care team understand your unique needs, strengths, and goals. At the end of the month, your team will review all findings with you in a Treatment Recommendation Meeting (TRM), providing a personalized plan to guide your ongoing care.
After your assessment, the program shifts into structured, ongoing support tailored to your plan. You’ll participate in regular therapy sessions, psychiatric care, nutrition counseling, and health coaching, all designed to build routines, strengthen skills, and support overall well-being. Your team continues to review your progress and adjust your plan as needed, ensuring your care remains aligned with your goals and helps you make steady, meaningful progress throughout the program.
