Specialty Programming at Glen Oaks Hospital
In order to facilitate comprehensive, therapeutic treatment for each of our patients, we offer a range of complementary programs.
Aromachology
According to the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy, aromachology is “the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body and mind.” Through our sense of smell, essential oils can affect our physiology, emotions and behavior by stimulating hormones and neurotransmitters. Essential oils are volatile, aromatic compounds found in various parts of plants, including the stem, leaves, roots and seeds.
Aromachology is offered as an additional complementary therapy for our patients. Our Aroma Therapist selects an appropriate oil to support a desired therapeutic effect; her versatility allows for options based on preference and application. The aromatherapy oils are then dispersed into the air via a diffuser. Our patients find the use of oils can help them better manage their stress and anxiety.
Physical Fitness Classes
Physical fitness classes are offered by trained physical fitness instructors to build and improve our patients’ overall mood and confidence. These classes are generally held in the evening.
Nondenominational Church Services
Glen Oaks Hospital provides nondenominational Sunday bible services to our patients. We understand that in times of illness and addiction many people turn to religion and spirituality for comfort and healing.
Our dedicated volunteers bring encouragement, prayers of faith and the healing power of Christ to those who are receiving mental health and substance abuse treatment. Attendance is voluntary.
