There are times we want to be seen. Whether it is a beautiful home, the perfect spot for a business, or even just being in the right place at the right time, location is everything. But what about the times that we want to be hidden? What about when we want to have privacy at a delicate time in our lives? For the opposite reasons, location is everything.
Getting Off the Map
Our recovery is a very personal time in our lives. We have so much to work through, and often we are not even sure what it is that we want or how we will get there. We don’t need paparazzi or even for people who know us to know where we are and what we are doing. This is a private, personal time.
The best way to be able to accomplish receiving treatment and maintaining anonymity is to just get off the map. Finding a treatment center that is close enough to not need to travel too much, but far enough away that you can be completely disconnected from reality and cameras and prying eyes is perfect. Privacy is a very valuable asset when choosing the location where we want to heal our lives.
Finding Serenity in Solitude
A treatment center that is off the map can be serene and surrounded by nature. That solitude can be so healing. We pull ourselves away from our busy, loud, hectic world and give our bodies and souls some time in a quiet, rural setting. This allows us to breathe more deeply and focus on the work ahead of us to find our healing.
Being in a quiet place that is removed from the hustle and bustle we have been living in is also helpful when the facility offers only limited numbers of participants. This quiet, intimate atmosphere further allows us to grow and heal in ways that larger, busier facilities cannot. There is serenity when we take time to give ourselves that solitude.
When the Policy is Privacy
The last thing we want when we have just completed detox and are still feeling not ourselves is to have cars driving by, people stopping by all the time or taking pictures. So when privacy is the policy, we can simply relax and know that whatever stage of our treatment that we are in, it will not end up on YouTube or TikTok, only in our memories.
The respect that facilities give us as guests when they preserve our privacy demonstrates that they are as committed to our success as we are. They honor and respect our wishes and our emotional and physical safety. We can feel secure and trust that our healing will be personal when we find a facility that values our privacy.
Beautiful Surroundings
Being located off the map usually means that we are surrounded by nature. Plants, trees, hiking trails, and rescue animals are all wonderful ways to get in touch with nature. This natural beauty can be cleansing for our minds and for our souls, and offers us opportunities to reconnect with nature, too.
Beautiful surroundings help us to feel loved and special by giving ourselves this amazing environment to heal in. They also give us places to walk and think and sit and just be alone with nature as we find our own healing. Animals give us opportunities to reciprocate love and care, and are perfect for those of us who struggle to speak up in therapy. Animals can help us break through that fear of communication and we can practice our communication skills with them.
Secluded Nature
Staying in a place where there is seclusion in nature can help us feel like we have our own private world to explore and heal in. Even if we know there is a ranch within walking distance, we can also find some personal time to think and commune with nature.
We can imagine being in our own sanctuary, close enough to drive to, but emotionally miles and miles from reality. The leaves are blowing in the breeze, there are birds singing nearby, the humming of insects fills the air. Those soft, natural sounds create a gentle soundtrack for you as you think about something from therapy or practice your mindfulness meditation.
Safe Place for Healing
Privacy, solitude, natural surroundings, and being far from the civilized world all work together to give us a beautiful and safe place to begin our recovery process. We can relax and know that our privacy will be kept and we won’t need to have people know where we are or why we are there.
The beautiful surroundings will support us in our healing as we connect with nature and experience growth that only occurs when we have solitude and natural beauty around us. We can have the opportunity to work with animals and have their calming and inspiring influence on our recovery. Stepping back in time just a little by staying at a working ranch, but with modern amenities, helps us to step into a place of health and wellness. Because when it comes to healing and being safe, location is everything.
