Looking back to move forward
All Gentle Path patients go through our Survivor’s Week, an in-depth workshop based on the pioneering work of Meadows Senior Fellow Pia Mellody. This essential element of our inpatient treatment program allows them to examine their childhood in a safe and nurturing environment. Patients learn to release painful emotions and heal themselves from any shame, neglect, or abandonment they experienced in the past.
Unresolved childhood trauma can negatively impact present-day life. That’s why Survivors explores the origins that fuel self-defeating behaviors such as sexual addiction, substance use disorder, trauma, mood disorders, and troubling relationships.

Our therapies are used to help resolve emotional and mental roadblocks so they can understand how suppressing these feelings is destructive to their long-term well-being.
Experiential therapies offer patients many benefits, including a greater understanding of their authentic selves, along with promoting greater self-confidence and independence. By addressing maladaptive behaviors, patients are able to develop positive communication skills.
Our expansive array of experiential modalities include:
Gentle Path is a safe, nurturing community composed of peers where your journey of recovery will include not just dealing with outward behaviors but examining the underlying causes. The goal is to gain the courage to face difficult issues (including grief and loss), heal from emotional trauma, and become accountable for your feelings, behaviors, and recovery.
Taking that first step is hard, but there’s a new life of health and hope just waiting for you. The next chapter of your life can begin now, but only you can change your story.
