What Is Holistic Substance Abuse Treatment?
Holistic treatment is an approach that targets the whole person. Addiction affects more than just your physical body. This disease has mental, emotional, social and spiritual ramifications as well. For the best chance at lasting recovery, you must recognize these aspects as part of the whole and treat them comprehensively. Holistic addiction treatment explores how addiction can cause harm and seeks to provide healing in every area of your life.
Holistic practices work hand in hand with evidence-based treatments, such as medical detox and therapy. At GreeneStone, our holistic approach weaves complementary therapies into the recovery process to support your healing journey. We offer a wide range of approaches that help you fully participate in your recovery, giving you a chance to process the internal and external changes you’re experiencing.
