  1. Can The Holistic Approach Be Used In Addiction Treatment? Holistic treatments have become increasingly popular in the past few years, particularly within an addiction treatment context. The alternative approach to addiction treatment is considered effective as it treats a person's overall well-being in terms of mind, body, and spirit. There are now more holistic recovery centers for people struggling with addiction illness than ever before.

  2. What Is a Holistic Treatment Program? The holistic approach to addiction treatment typically integrates physical, mental and spiritual models, combining therapies and practices for the most appropriate care of the individual. Holistic therapies are also referred to as alternative or complementary and are generally based on practices that have their origins in ancient cultures. Holistic therapy is 100% natural which is important for people who have become dependent or addicted to highly potent substances.

  3. The Effectiveness of Holistic Therapy in Rehab According to a survey of rehab centers carried out by Pastoral Psychology, around a third provide some kind of holistic treatment. In specific terms, the survey revealed that meditation is available as part of treatment in almost 60% of centers in the US. This gives an indication of the level of confidence the addiction community has in the holistic approach to rehab and recovery. There are several reasons holistic therapies are so effective and have been shown to promote long-term recovery, the main one being that they arm patients with coping tools to prevent relapse. When someone has become addicted to substances, they may have initially started using to deal with, for example, a stressful job or the breakup of a relationship.

  4. Holistic and Conventional Care in Combination The majority of rehab centers offering holistic treatments provide medically-supervised detox to enable patients to rid their bodies of the toxins accumulated through substance abuse. Some holistic treatments such as massage therapy can be extremely helpful in reducing the discomfort associated with withdrawal from certain substances such as alcohol and heroin.
