At Soflo Wellness & Recovery, we understand the importance of providing not only treatment but also ongoing resources to support our patients and the broader community. Below, we’ve compiled a range of tools, expert recommendations, and valuable information to help guide you on your wellness journey.

1. General Stress and Coping Tools
Managing stress is essential for maintaining both physical and mental health. Medication management, including creating a comprehensive medication list using the “brown bag method,” plays a crucial role in maintaining accurate medication records and ensuring effective treatment and medication reconciliation.
