We understand that food plays an essential role in the recovery process, and we recognize the importance of feeling comfortable and supported during your stay. One common concern for many individuals entering recovery is the fear of not enjoying the meals that are served. That’s why, at Discovery Point Retreat, we go above and beyond to ensure that every meal is not only nourishing but also enjoyable.

Whether you have food allergies, are gluten-free, lactose intolerant, or have personal dislikes or likes, we work with you to tailor your meals accordingly. We believe that food should never be a source of stress or discomfort — it should be an opportunity for healing, nourishment, and even pleasure.

Because when it comes to recovery, we believe that every aspect of your experience matters — including the food that helps fuel your journey.
Recovery is all about healing your mind and body, and one of the best ways to support that process is through good nutrition. Substance use can take a real toll on your health, leaving you low on energy, missing key nutrients, and struggling with physical and mental wellness. By making thoughtful food choices, you’re giving yourself a powerful tool for feeling better and staying on track.
Drugs and alcohol often get in the way of your body’s ability to absorb nutrients. Alcohol, for example, makes it harder to get vitamins like B and C, while opioids can lead to digestion issues. Stimulants may suppress your appetite, causing weight loss and malnutrition. Over time, these effects can leave you feeling weak, foggy, and emotionally drained.
On top of that, it’s common to crave sugary, processed foods during or after addiction. While these may give a quick energy boost, they often lead to mood swings and worsen anxiety and depression.
Eating well is one of the easiest ways to feel stronger and more balanced during recovery. Here’s how nutrition helps:
Choosing to nourish your body is a form of self-care. Each nutritious meal you eat supports your body’s natural ability to heal, giving you more strength, energy, and emotional resilience. Pairing proper nutrition with therapy, support groups, and personal growth work makes your recovery journey even more powerful.
