Lima, NY proves to be the perfect spot for community health centers as it provides accessible and affordable healthcare services to improve the health outcomes of individuals and communities. Biophilia within drug and alcohol facilities can have a significant positive impact on the staff, patients, and their recovery. Referring to our innate connection to nature and natural environments, biophilia has the potential to create a more calming and restorative space. For patients, biophilic design can help to reduce stress and anxiety, which are common triggers for substance use. Additionally, natural light and views of nature can help to improve mood and overall well-being, which can be important factors in supporting recovery. Biophilia can support staff through the creation of tranquil, stress-reducing environments that help them manage the challenges of their work.
