DAYA Recovery Living Home:
Offering a pathway to recovery, inner peace, and personal purpose.
DAYA Recovery Living promotes recovery through a social model of recovery, steeped in mindfulness, trauma-resilience, and yoga, with key supportive dimensions and core principles for recovery. We actively increase a person’s inner resources for recovery through trauma-informed programs, including mindfulness, yoga, nature, and community-integrated support groups.
Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential.
Mission & VisionWe provide a Trauma-Informed, Community-Supported Recovery Living Home with onsite programs that transform the brain, mind, and body for individuals struggling with addiction. We provide programs based in mindfulness, yoga, sangha, and service.
Recovery is a holistic, lifelong process, integrating the body, mind and spirit through trauma-informed recovery principles and programs, best practices for mental and social health, and healthy collaboration between residents, staff, and the community. |
We see recovery as a bio-psycho-social-spiritual journey of transformation. We are committed to providing high quality services to people in recovery. We recognize that many of our residents will have already been exposed to system-failures as well as potentially coming from home environments that could not create a healthy foundation.
