Extended-Stay Emotional Wellness
A Deeper Layer of Support When You’re Ready
Recovery is about more than stepping away from alcohol or substances. It’s about finding your footing again, calming what feels overstretched, and reconnecting with yourself in a way that feels real.
At Tranquil Palms, our Extended-Stay Emotional Wellness option offers women additional time and space to slow down, feel steadier, and gently explore the emotional layers that often sit beneath substance use. This level of care supports deeper healing at a pace that feels meaningful, supported, and unhurried.
Who Extended-Stay Emotional Wellness Is For
Extended-stay support may be helpful for women who:
- Feel emotionally raw, overwhelmed, or depleted after early recovery
- Are carrying long-held stress, grief, trauma, or unprocessed life experiences
- Want more time to stabilize before stepping fully back into daily life
- Benefit from a slower, more spacious approach to emotional healing
- Are seeking recovery that feels deeper, steadier, and more sustainable
This option is not about doing “more” — it’s about allowing healing the time it truly needs.

What Extended-Stay Support Includes
Extended-stay emotional wellness builds upon structured programming while adding additional restorative and therapeutic support. These services are optional and offered as an added layer of care throughout treatment.
Mindfulness & Grounding Practices
Gentle mindfulness, guided breathing, and grounding exercises help women calm the nervous system, reduce cravings, and manage moments of overwhelm — especially during early and extended recovery.
Gentle Movement & Restorative Activities
Light stretching, guided walks, and calming movement practices support emotional regulation and help women reconnect with their bodies in a safe, nurturing way. For clients who want more structured physical activity, access to local gym memberships may also be available, offering another supportive outlet for strength-building, stress relief, and routine.
Nutrition Support
Alcohol and substance use can impact energy, mood, sleep, and overall health. Nutrition-focused guidance helps women rebuild physical strength and establish stabilizing habits that support long-term recovery.
Holistic Emotional Support
Women have access to supportive practices that encourage clarity, reflection, and emotional restoration — creating space to process feelings, reconnect internally, and build resilience.
These wellness services are offered as optional supports, helping women feel calmer, stronger, and more centered as they move through treatment.
EMDR for Deeper Emotional Healing
Available as Part of Extended-Stay Support
For some women, meaningful healing involves gently working through long-carried experiences that sit beneath substance use — such as grief, trauma, relationship wounds, or seasons of overwhelm.
For women who choose extended-stay emotional wellness, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) may be available when clinically appropriate. This trauma-informed therapy helps women process difficult experiences safely and at a pace that feels steady, supported, and empowering.
A Gentle, Unrushed Approach to Healing
Extended-stay emotional wellness is designed for women who know they need more than a quick transition. Healing here is never forced or rushed. Women are supported in listening to their own pace, rebuilding emotional steadiness, and developing a stronger foundation for long-term recovery.
