Patients also benefit from expressive arts sessions, yoga, and animal-assisted therapy including equine work. Family involvement is central through therapy and education. Unique features include restaurant outings, academic tutoring for students, and identity exploration. Klarman emphasizes smooth transitions back home through strong relapse prevention and life-skills support.
