There are a number of people who assume that addiction only has physical implications; perhaps just leaving a few scars around injection sites but not much else. Too few people realize that long-term addiction comes with spiritual, emotional, mental and physical injuries. This concept that drug and alcohol addiction affects all parts of our being is a relatively new one, and it is one of the reasons that holistic recovery programs have become more popular than ever before.

There are a number of people who assume that addiction
only has physical implications; perhaps just leaving a few
scars around injection sites but not much else. Too few
people realize that long-term addiction comes with spiritual,
emotional, mental and physical injuries. This concept that
drug and alcohol addiction affects all parts of our being is a
relatively new one, and it is one of the reasons that holistic
recovery programs have become more popular than ever
before.
You cannot expect to address all the complicated aspects of dependence without treating
every part of the problem. That is where holistic rehabilitation comes into play . For many
people, it does seem somewhat of an ‘unknown’ term that they are unable to quantify right
away. After reading this article, you will have a better understanding of what this type of
treatment offers.
What Should You Expect?
At a holistic treatment facility, there are recovery options that speak to the patient’s personal
experience with substance abuse, any possible additional issues that may need to be
addressed, along with the patient’s history in recovery. As with all other programs, the first
step is detoxification. Until the alcohol and drugs are flushed from the user’s system, no
change is possible. They also work to improve healthy eating habits, better sleep experiences
and do not use drug replacement therapy. Depending on the patient’s needs, there are a
number of different therapies and treatments available which could include such diverse
actions as:
What are the Benefits of This Type of Program?
There are several different benefits in this type of program that a traditional treatment center
cannot match. While detox is available in the traditional addiction treatment options, those
programs simply do not offer the same attention to personal needs and interests that are
available at a holistic rehab.
The ‘overarching’ approach of the holistic treatment means that patients work with their
medical and therapeutic team to determine the therapies that work best for them. This
emphasizes the importance of trying new things, to move out of the comfort zone, to try

2. programs simply do not offer the same attention to personal needs and interests that are
available at a holistic rehab.
The ‘overarching’ approach of the holistic treatment means that patients work with their
medical and therapeutic team to determine the therapies that work best for them. This
emphasizes the importance of trying new things, to move out of the comfort zone, to try
something else and come up with an idea of what type of therapy is most successful for that
specific patient.
A Comprehensive Focus
Holistic rehab focuses on the mind, body and spirit. Remember that addiction does not exist
in isolation – it manages to affect every aspect of the user’s life. To maintain long­term
sobriety and address the substance abuse issue successfully, it is important to understand
the larger context of addiction.
The detoxification process is only a single step in the entire progression, learning coping
techniques to prevent relapse are another. These recovery programs place equal importance
on spiritual development, emotional well-being and physical health.
In short, it is a comprehensive approach that defeats the problem by focusing on the person
as a whole instead of focusing on specific issues. Those who complete drug treatment in a
holistic rehab center will often experience a better overall quality of life and a newfound
balance in their life.

This is insightful.
I’ve come across your website as I’m looking for new things to talk about with the youth/teens
who are members of our congregation.
We have over 30 who are going to come twice a week, mostly because their parents pushed
them. I suspect around ten of them have been doing pot, other drugs, alcohol, in bad
relationships, misguided, etc.
One of the things I usually talk about is where they could get help, something where they
don’t get treated as “budding criminals” or something like that.
This is really helpful because holistic treatments & other rehabs would tell them it’s best to
seek help for their struggles. I’m gonna cite your article, among others, and the figures &
stats in this website as well.
Do keep posting informative stuff such as these!!!
God bless!
