Health, Nutrition & Culinary
Food plays a meaningful role in early recovery. At Forest City Healing Centre, meals are prepared with intention, structure, and care to support physical wellbeing, emotional regulation, and daily routine.
Our Culinary Approach
All meals are prepared in-house using fresh ingredients and balanced portions across food groups. Our culinary approach emphasizes nourishment, comfort, and consistency rather than restriction or perfection. Shared meals are part of the daily rhythm at FCHC, offering a sense of normalcy, grounding, and connection within a calm, communal setting.
The culinary program is led by an experienced chef who brings both professional training and lived experience in recovery. This perspective helps shape a food environment rooted in compassion, accountability, and respect. Meals are designed to support steady energy, focus, and emotional stability during early recovery.
Dietary needs, allergies, cultural considerations, and reasonable preferences are accommodated whenever possible. As with all aspects of the program, nutrition at FCHC reflects our belief that people heal best in environments that feel human, predictable, and supportive.
