At The Dunes East Hampton, we believe that lasting recovery involves more than treating the addiction itself. That’s why we combine proven clinical services with a thoughtful selection of holistic therapies, creating a well-rounded approach that supports healing on every level—mind, body, and spirit.
Set in the peaceful surroundings of East Hampton, our program offers a calm and supportive environment where clients can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and begin to rebuild their lives. Many people find that this combination of clinical care and holistic practices helps them feel more grounded, hopeful, and engaged in their recovery.
Our goal is to provide a personalized experience that feels both meaningful and sustainable—one that not only helps clients move through addiction, but also supports them in rediscovering a sense of balance and purpose as they move forward.
Energy medicine combines the wisdom of Eastern healing traditions with modern Western science to support the body’s natural ability to heal and thrive. At The Dunes, clients are introduced to gentle, accessible practices such as therapeutic tai chi, yogic breathing, acupressure, craniosacral therapy, and sound vibrational healing. These techniques work with the body’s energy systems to promote balance, reduce stress, and restore a sense of vitality.
As clients learn these simple self-care tools, they gain practical ways to manage anxiety, ease physical discomfort, and bring calm into their daily lives. Many of the techniques—such as mindful breathing and light acupressure—can be practiced anywhere and at any time, helping to create a steady sense of inner peace and emotional steadiness.
By incorporating energy medicine into their recovery, clients often find it easier to stay grounded, connected, and present as they move through the healing process.
At The Dunes, we recognize that movement plays an important role in supporting both physical and emotional well-being during recovery. That’s why we’ve built regular opportunities for physical activity into our Wellness Program.
Exercise can have a meaningful impact on mood, stress levels, mental clarity, energy, and sleep—helping clients feel more balanced and grounded as they heal. To support this, we offer access to an in-house personal trainer and physical therapist who tailor movement and wellness practices to each client’s individual needs and abilities.
Whether it’s gentle stretching, strength training, or restorative movement, our goal is to help clients reconnect with their bodies in a healthy and sustainable way.
At The Dunes, our Creative Expression groups draw inspiration from the ancient tradition of the Mandala. Using watercolors and tracing harmonious forms, clients engage in a gentle, meditative process that brings the body, mind, and spirit into the present moment. This practice encourages a sense of inner balance while connecting participants to the natural creative energy that exists within everyone.
You don’t need to consider yourself artistic to benefit. Expressive arts simply offers a quiet, non-verbal way to explore and express feelings—especially those that may be difficult to put into words. Sessions can be done individually or in a group setting, allowing clients to connect more deeply with themselves and, when in a group, with one another.
Beyond its emotional benefits, expressive arts helps reduce stress, anxiety, and depression by keeping both the hands and mind gently occupied. Many clients find the process relaxing, uplifting, and empowering, often leaving with a renewed sense of calm and accomplishment.
Reiki is a gentle, energy-based healing practice that works with the body’s natural ability to restore balance. The word “reiki” translates to “universal life energy,” and the practice involves a trained practitioner channeling this energy through light touch or hand placements to promote deep relaxation and support the body’s healing process.
Because addiction affects the whole person—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—Reiki can be a valuable complement to traditional treatment methods. Many clients find it helpful in easing withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, tremors, nausea, anxiety, and muscle aches. It can also offer emotional and spiritual relief by reducing feelings of guilt, shame, and isolation that often accompany addiction.
Reiki provides a calming, non-invasive way for clients to reconnect with themselves during the recovery process, supporting both physical comfort and inner peace.
Acupuncture is a time-honored practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and has been used in the United States since the early 1970s to support recovery from addiction and other health concerns. At The Dunes, we offer auricular (ear) acupuncture, a gentle technique that targets specific points in the ear connected to the kidneys, lungs, and liver—organs often affected by prolonged substance use.
This approach can help ease drug cravings and reduce common withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, headaches, insomnia, and physical discomfort. Because acupuncture works with the nervous system, it may also provide calming emotional support, helping to ease anxiety and depression during the recovery process.
Many clients find acupuncture to be a soothing and grounding addition to their treatment, offering both physical relief and a greater sense of inner balance as they heal.
At The Dunes, we incorporate yoga therapy as a gentle yet powerful way to support recovery. The practice of yoga helps calm the mind, reduce stress, and naturally boost vitality, energy, and a sense of well-being—qualities that are especially valuable for those working toward lasting sobriety.
We believe that when the body is healthy and the mind is quieter, clients are better able to address the deeper emotional issues that often underlie addiction. Our yoga therapy sessions take place three to four times a week in a peaceful, glass-sided atrium, where clients can enjoy views of the landscaped grounds and pool while being guided by our experienced yoga instructors.
Whether you’re new to yoga or have practiced before, the sessions are designed to be accessible and restorative, helping clients feel more grounded, centered, and connected to themselves.
Meditation is a simple yet powerful practice that helps promote relaxation, mental clarity, and a greater sense of calm and optimism. At The Dunes, group meditation sessions are held twice weekly in a peaceful, serene setting. Using guided imagery and gentle breathing techniques, clients are encouraged to cultivate non-judgmental awareness, inner peace, and emotional balance—qualities that support lasting recovery.
Many clients find that meditation becomes a valuable tool they can use on their own, helping them navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and resilience. Over time, these skills can also help reduce anxiety and depression, which are common relapse triggers.
Mindfulness builds on the same principles as meditation. It involves intentionally paying attention to the present moment with openness and without judgment. At The Dunes, our mindfulness sessions help clients shift away from dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, and instead learn to stay grounded in the here and now.
This practice can significantly reduce stress and anxiety while improving emotional regulation. Whether practiced in a group or on their own, mindfulness gives clients practical tools to respond to life’s difficulties with greater clarity and calm.
