Holistic Therapy looks at the whole person versus just one aspect, different from traditional treatment methods. Addressing the mind, body, and soul is essential to long-term recovery.
There are many benefits of Holistic Therapy for individuals who struggle with Substance Abuse Disorders. Some of these benefits include:
Holistic therapy and rehab provide a comprehensive and inclusive approach to addiction recovery, offering significant benefits for LGBTQ+ individuals. These programs emphasize affirmative support in a non-judgmental environment, crucial for those who have faced discrimination. Holistic therapy’s inclusive approach supports not just the physical aspects of recovery but also the emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of LGBTQ+ individuals, promoting resilience and long-term wellness.
Recovery is a lifelong process. Many Holistic practices can carry you through that process and be used in your daily life as you navigate that process.
There are various methods of Holistic practices available for individuals interested in pursuing this type of treatment. Some of these include mindfulness, meditation, sound baths, breathwork, acupuncture, Reiki, and experiential activities, however, there are many more.
Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment. Utilizing Mindfulness allows you to be aware of your external surroundings and inner experience while being present in the moment.
Mindfulness can help reshape your brain in ways that promote overall well-being and allow you to rebuild connections.
This treatment is often used for individuals with anxiety and depression, however, there are also many ways that Mindfulness can support recovery.
One of the best parts of mindfulness is that it can easily be incorporated into everyday life and situations with practice.
Meditation is a practice that seeks to synchronize the mind and body for improved mental wellbeing and quality of life.
Meditation can aid in addiction recovery in a multitude of ways.
Sound Bath is a form of Sound Therapy also known as Sound Healing. In a Sound Bath, instruments are used to create vibrational healing sounds. This draws the individual listening into a relaxed and meditative state.
Breathwork is a holistic practice that allows you to learn to focus on controlled and conscious breathing techniques. Often you will see Breathwork used in conjunction with other practices such as yoga.
One of the main objectives of Breathwork, when used for addiction treatment, is to help you become more aware of the mind-body connection. Breathwork also helps you to obtain new and healthier levels of self-awareness.
Reiki Therapy is a form of energy healing that involves the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner’s palms to the patient. It is a gentle, non-invasive practice that can enhance the body’s natural healing ability and promote balance in mind, body, and spirit. Reiki can be particularly beneficial for individuals in recovery, offering relief from stress, anxiety, and physical pain, while also supporting emotional healing and well-being. Its holistic approach complements other therapies by addressing the energetic aspects of health and recovery.
Acupuncture is a practice that has been around since 2500 BC and originated in China. In this practice, thin solid needles are inserted into the body at specific points to treat various disorders.
One of the most popular forms of acupuncture used to treat addiction is Auricular or ear acupuncture. There are five different points on the ear targeted for this type of acupuncture.
What are experiential activities? These are activities that use expressive tools or activities to help explore and release negative memories. Often when there is addiction, there is also past trauma.
Experiential activities can provide an outlet for past trauma. This can include various activities such as exercise, water activities, yoga, sports, art, equine therapy, outdoor activities, and even more.
