The facility has the capacity to serve up to 16 residents. To foster a calm atmosphere conducive to recovery, Bluff refrains from providing internet or television access. Meals, prepared by a skilled culinary team that includes a five-star chef, are served family-style and designed to promote natural increases in clients’ dopamine levels through balanced nutrition.
