We run a gorgeous facility on 15 pristine acres in Peterborough, Ontario. At CHRC, we understand that the physiological and neurological damage caused by the abuse of alcohol and/or drugs must be treated as part of the process of recovery if life-long sobriety is the goal. We use orthomolecular nutrition to rebalance and nourish the body on a biochemical level – the body and mind are strengthened, and overall health and vitality are improved. A healthy body has reduced cravings, fewer mood swings, more self-control and less physical and emotional pain. Our orthomolecular nutrition treatment program lays the foundation for physical and emotional healing and normalized neurotransmitter function. CHRC utilizes laboratory data, nutritional supplementation and a specialized diet to balance the body’s biochemistry, target cravings and facilitate mental-emotional health.
