Holistic Therapy For Addiction Treatment

Holistic therapy programs feature personalized, non-medical methods of addiction recovery. Holistic therapists treat physical and mental addiction symptoms as well as emotional and nutritional imbalances.

Lack of sleep, poor diet, and emotional stress are all potential obstacles holistic therapy might help a recovering addict treat. Holistic therapy plans are flexible and gentle. Some of the main objectives of holistic therapy include:

  • Identifying underlying causes of addiction
  • Strengthening resistance to cravings
  • Promoting physical fitness
  • Increasing self-confidence
  • Reducing the appeal of drug and alcohol use

Types Of Holistic Addiction Therapies

Holistic therapy encompasses several different aspects of healthy living, from exercise to meditation.

Some of the main therapies include:

  • Nutritional Therapy

    A healthy body is a key aspect of addiction recovery. Helping recovering addicts focus on proper nutrition provides tangible healing. Recovering addicts can start fresh and give their bodies the nutrition they need to overcome their addiction.

  • Exercise and Recreational Therapy

    Daily exercise can help build routine, relieve stress, and strengthen the body. Exercise is an important part of many holistic treatment centers. Activities vary from center to center, but some offer rock-climbing, canoeing, horseback-riding, or hiking.

  • Meditation

    In order to overcome their addiction, recovering addicts must have a clear mind. Guided meditation is an important part of many holistic treatment programs. Many centers also offer yoga and tai chi as meditative practices to help residents increase focus and clarity of mind.

  • Massage and Acupuncture

    Helping to relieve stress and relax the body, massage is often used in holistic treatment therapy. Acupuncture is also used to help restore balance to an addict’s body after extended substance abuse.
