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.

The Benefits of Holistic Treatment Approaches

A holistic approach to substance addiction treatment aims to connect a person’s body to their mind, emotions, intellect and spirit. With this strategy, holistic treatment offers many benefits to the recovery process:

• Relieves some of the physical symptoms of withdrawal.
• Allows clients to recognize their inner strengths and confront obstacles.
• Teaches healthy coping techniques to support a sense of grounding.
• Promotes relaxation.
• Helps clients feel safe and comfortable as they address addiction’s underlying causes.
• Improves self-worth and self-esteem.
• Gives clients a better chance at achieving their recovery goals.
• Promotes long-term recovery.

Different Types of Holistic Addiction Therapies

There are a wide variety of holistic practices used in addiction medicine. Rehabilitation programs that incorporate holistic techniques carefully consider which methods would best benefit their clients before building out their comprehensive treatment offerings. Many holistic approaches are also considered alternative or complementary treatment practices. Others practices are derived from cultural traditions.

Common holistic addiction therapies include:

• • Yoga.
  • Meditation.
  • Mindfulness practices.
  • Massage.
  • Nutritional counseling.
