How holistic approaches help you recover
What is Holistic Treatment forAddiction & Mental Health Conditions?
The main goal of holistic treatment at our rehab facility is to find the root of a person’s addiction, rather than isolating and treating symptoms. That way, medical professionals can find the other components/risk factors that could be contributing to exacerbating their conditions. We’ve found that utilizing evidence-based treatments, has resulted in successful recovery outcomes.
Holistic treatment is an approach to healthcare that accounts for an individual as a whole. This includes treating their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being instead of treating specific symptoms. Holistic care is rooted in the belief that the aspects of a person’s life are interconnected and by treating all the root causes of a health problem, you can achieve overall health.
For substance use treatment, this means promoting a healthy lifestyle by giving individuals tools to heal themselves with the support of therapy, alternative therapy, such as acupuncture, and medication.
Understanding Holistic Methods in Treatment
What Does Holistic Mean?
The name for this type of treatment comes from the definition of holistic– treating something as a whole rather than focusing on individual parts. It was first used as a philosophical term to describe the interconnectedness of nature. The word holistic comes from the greek word holos, which means entire.
Treating the Mind, Body & Spirit
Substance abuse doesn’t just affect your physical body, it also can hurt your mind and spirituality. Holistic treatment is for the mind, body, and spirit because they’re all connected and it’s most effective to treat them all together rather than individually.
It may be easy to imagine how the mind and body are connected. Sometimes your emotional health noticeably affects your body. For example, when you feel depressed your body may get very tired. Your spirit can be thought of as an essence of who you are.
This includes your belief system. Holistic medicine treats your spirit by encouraging you to connect with yourself through meditation, journaling, or some quiet hobby. You can learn more about the types of holistic treatment to understand how it treats the mind, body, and spirit.

Why You Should Look for a Holistic Rehab
How Can Holistic Treatment Help with Addiction?
Holistic treatment can help with addiction by providing healing to a person as a whole and helping them develop self-awareness as well as skills to cope with cravings and stress that addiction can cause. Here’s how holistic approaches help with addiction treatment:
Reduce Stress
Addiction causes stress but can also be one of the reasons a person starts using drugs and alcohol. Many holistic therapies seek to relieve stress and teach techniques for relieving stress on your own.
Other than meditation, acupuncture, and cognitive therapies that holistic treatments use to relieve stress, holistic care also introduces individuals to new hobbies that they can turn to for stress relief rather than using substances.
Develop Coping Skills
Like other addiction treatments, holistic approaches teach those in recovery how to cope with the symptoms of addiction. With meditation, life skills classes, and activities, people can learn to acknowledge cravings and urges without succumbing to them. Holistic therapy also helps heal the mind from negative thoughts or emotions.
Provide a Spiritual Connection
Having a spiritual connection is not the same as religion. Being spiritually connected means being self-aware and connected to yourself as well as feeling a sense of connection with the environment around you. People with a strong spiritual connection often feel more at peace and for someone who is in recovery, this may mean they’re able to achieve long-lasting sobriety. Holistic therapy provides some of the most effective methods for connecting with your spirit.
Aids Relapse Prevention
Relapse prevention is a focus of addiction recovery. With the stress reduction and coping skills that holistic treatment teaches, individuals are less likely to relapse. Another way holistic therapies help reduce the risk of relapse is by helping people find a sense of purpose. When people find and feel they have a reason to stay sober, they may be more likely to stick with their sobriety goals. This sense of purpose can be anything including volunteer work, hobbies, family, friends, a pet, or a job.
Achieve Overall Health & Wellness
Holistic treatments also help with addiction recovery because it helps to achieve overall health. Therapies such as nutrition and yoga have obvious impacts on health but others have subtle but positive effects on health. For example, meditation can improve sleep, lower blood pressure, and relieve chronic pain.
Addiction can negatively impact physical health as well as emotional and mental health. Holistic treatment is important for substance abuse recovery because it treats a whole person and can help resolve all symptoms of addiction. Holistic treatment also provides tools that prevent relapse.
Holistic treatment also provides an alternative to traditional medicine, which may be preferable to some who seek addiction treatment. Holistic therapies also pair well with traditional approaches to create a well-rounded treatment plan.

Individualized Treatment Plans
Treatment plans are tailored to the unique needs and goals of each individual, taking into account their specific substance abuse patterns, co-occurring disorders, and personal circumstances.
Detox & Medication Management
For individuals requiring detoxification, holistic treatment includes medical supervision and support to safely manage withdrawal symptoms and ensure physical stability.
Psychotherapy

Holistic Therapies
Various holistic modalities, such as mindfulness meditation, yoga, art therapy, equine therapy, and music therapy, are incorporated to promote relaxation, self-expression, emotional healing, and personal growth.
Nutrition & Exercise
Emphasis is placed on healthy eating habits and physical activity, as proper nutrition and exercise can support overall well-being, aid in recovery, and improve mood and energy levels.
Social Support & Community
Peer support groups, 12-step programs (such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous), and family therapy are included to foster a sense of belonging, provide encouragement, and enhance social connections.
Aftercare & Relapse Prevention
Holistic treatment includes planning for aftercare support, which may involve ongoing therapy, participation in support groups, sober living arrangements, and strategies to prevent relapse.
Mind/Body Wellness
Emphasizing the importance of mind-body connection, holistic treatment encourages individuals to practice self-care, stress management techniques, and engage in activities that promote overall wellness and balance.
By combining these components, holistic substance abuse treatment aims to address the underlying causes of addiction, promote healing and self-discovery, and support individuals in their journey towards long-lasting recovery.
Anyone who struggles with a mental health or substance use disorder is a candidate for holistic treatment. Holistic approaches can treat a wide range of conditions and be useful in treating addiction to any substance.
