ATHENA Passages provides weekly IV infusion treatments to help the body remove harmful toxins leftover from excessive drug and alcohol use. ATHENA’s in-house physicians developed the formula specifically for addiction recovery. The cleanse contains a blend of IV fluids, vitamins, and antioxidants, which can help minimize cravings after treatment for up to 1 year.
ATHENA Passages’ outdoor adventure program provides fun, sober activities for clients. Clients learn about ancient Greek mythology, engage in outdoor adventures, and soak up the sun while gaining the tools and skills to make sobriety last, helping them apply skills gained in therapy to the world.
ATHENA Passages proudly offers cryotherapy, which provides a brief period of extreme cold, causing blood to rush with oxygen, enzymes, and nutrients. Endorphins are released, giving a pleasant emotional experience. ATHENA implements this alternative care method because it has been shown to support long-term substance use recovery.
ATHENA Passages offers housing in 3 facilities: The Apollo, The Hermes, and The Pegasus. Private bedrooms and luxurious amenities make each location a restorative and enjoyable place to begin recovery. Clients have workspaces and WiFi to tend to work matters.
