At Retreat of Atlanta, we offer holistic drug & alcohol rehab as part of our comprehensive and personalized detox and residential rehab programs. Holistic modalities can be very effective in addressing and treating addiction and related mental health issues. Holistic drug rehab is designed to treat the entire person to help heal their mind, body, and spirit.
What Is Holistic Therapy?
Holistic therapy utilizes natural and non-medical modalities to help people overcome substance use disorders. It is designed to help people recover mentally, physically, and spiritually. Holistic therapies complement evidence-based modalities, such as individual and group therapy sessions. Holistic therapies include a wide range of options, including yoga, mindfulness practices, art therapy, music therapy, meditation, exercise, and nutritional guidance.
How Does a Holistic Drug and Alcohol Rehab Work?
Holistic drug & alcohol rehab helps individuals improve their mental and physical well-being. When a person in recovery feels better about their mental and physical health, it simultaneously improves their spirit. As they go through holistic therapies, they find their anxiety and stress lessen. They develop effective tools and skills to help them remain calm and relaxed, exercise more often, and eat healthier, well-balanced meals.
Additionally, these tools and skills can help address triggers and cravings and be included as part of a person’s relapse prevention plan. People who receive holistic rehab treatment also tend to find it easier to maintain a substance-free lifestyle.
Types of Holistic Rehab Modalities We Offer During Detox
One of the best aspects of holistic rehab modalities during detox is it provides flexibility and freedom for the individual to select which ones could benefit them the most. They are free to try out different modalities, and if they do not believe it is benefiting them, choose different ones. At Retreat of Atlanta, we incorporate our holistic rehab modalities with our evidence-based modalities for improved whole-person healing and recovery.
Yoga
Yoga has existed for over 5,000 years. It uses a combination of breathing exercises, physical postures, and meditation to promote overall well-being. As part of a personalized addiction treatment program, yoga helps individuals manage anxiety and stress while improving their physical and mental health. Yoga also helps increase mindfulness and self-awareness, which can be beneficial when addressing cravings and triggers.
Meditation
Meditation is a holistic practice focusing on a particular thought, activity, or object to increase emotional stability and mental clarity. Medication helps improve concentration, reduce anxiety and stress, and increase self-awareness. Meditation can also be an effective coping technique when faced with cravings, triggers, and high-stress and anxiety situations.
Nutritional Guidance
Eating healthy, nutritious meals is an essential aspect of recovery from substance use disorders. The body needs to heal both mentally and physically. Nutritional guidance helps people learn how to make nutritious choices and meals and develop healthy eating habits and meal-planning strategies. Ensuring proper nutrition also helps support improved emotional and mental clarity and well-being.
The 5 Components of Holistic Rehab Programming
Holistic drug & alcohol rehab programming focuses on these five components:
- Mind: Alcohol and drug addictions impact our mind and mental functioning. Holistic rehab helps heal and restore balance to the mind.
- Body: Substance use impacts the body in different ways, including not eating or eating unhealthy food, insomnia, body aches and pains, and flu-like symptoms. Holistic rehab helps promote faster healing and improves physical well-being.
- Spirit: The spirit, how one relates to the world around them and understands themselves, also suffers from addiction. Initially, people may feel more in control and outgoing, but as they sink further into addiction, they withdraw from others and struggle to understand themselves. Holistic rehab helps people become more in tune with their spirit while building self-esteem and self-confidence.
- Emotions: Negative emotions often accompany the stigma around addiction. People can feel ashamed, guilty, and embarrassed about how their addiction has impacted them and those around them. Holistic rehab helps people learn how to overcome these negative emotions and how to address all emotions and feelings positively.
- Social connections: Addiction impacts family and friends and the relationships people have with them. Holistic rehab helps people come to accept their actions and realize it can take time to heal the damage they caused. It also teaches patience and how to develop deep, meaningful relationships.
