What is Holistic Recovery?

Addiction recovery looks different for everyone. In addition to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and evidence-based therapies (EBT), healthcare experts are now recommending holistic therapy and alternative treatment plans to successfully treat clients and help them live fuller lives. If you or a loved one is struggling with a substance use disorder, call Coalition Recovery today at 888.707.2873 for immediate help and Florida holistic recovery programs.

A holistic approach to addiction recovery takes into account the client’s physical symptoms as well as his/her/their mental health and other underlying conditions. It has several long-term benefits and is particularly helpful when conventional medicine isn’t enough.

What Is Holistic Recovery?

A holistic recovery plan encompasses a variety of approaches, designed to complement the client’s regular medical treatment. It addresses not just the symptoms of addiction, but other co-occurring disorders and past trauma as well. Furthermore, it aims to enhance their overall emotional health. In turn, this encourages them to make positive lifestyle changes and unlearn toxic patterns of thinking and behavior.

Since a wide variety of activities and treatments fall under this category, doctors and healthcare professionals work carefully with clients, assessing their case history and devising a personalized holistic addiction treatment plan that not only remedies a specific disease, but also heals the individual as a whole.

What to Expect in Holistic Addiction Treatment

Holistic addiction treatment plans are sometimes advertised under the names of “complementary” or “integrative” therapies. With the help of both western medicine and alternative therapy, a more thorough investigation into the client’s psyche can be conducted, helping the mind, body, and spirit to recover.

At Coalition Recovery, we provide the following types of holistic therapy programs on a case-by-case basis:

Acupuncture Therapy

Based on the principles of ancient Chinese medicine, acupuncture therapy can reorient the energy balance in the body and bring swifter pain relief.

Dietary Education and Consultations

Our qualified nutritionists can suggest changes to the client’s diet to encourage a healthy lifestyle and nutrient-rich meal plans.

Massage Therapy

Regular massage treatment can help ease anxiety and stress, relax the body’s muscles, relieve pain, and improve motor functions.

Reiki Healing

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing or “touch therapy” developed by Mikau Usui. It is used to treat a wide variety of physical and mental conditions and enhance wellness.

Neurofeedback (NFB)

Also called Neurotherapy, this treatment utilizes real-time feedback from brain activity to reprogram healthy brain functions, and is particularly useful in dealing with depression and anxiety disorders.

Yoga Therapy

Yoga therapy involves a mixture of different postures, breathing techniques, and guided meditation exercises that aim to improve the patient’s physical, emotional and spiritual health. It also increases flexibility, reduces joint pain and enhances the mood.

Experience or Adventure Therapy

A form of experiential therapy that has been proven effective in treating teens and adolescents, adventure therapy encourages clients to reframe traumatic memories in a new light. This is accomplished with a host of fun and challenging exercises conducted in a safe and supportive environment.

Somatic Experiencing

Developed by Peter Levine, Ph.D., somatic experiencing tackles both the physiological and psychological effects of trauma, grief, and depression. It improves confidence, fosters a more positive outlook, and reduces physical discomfort.

Equine-Assisted Therapy

These include a variety of activities with horses, including:

• Therapeutic horseback riding
• Vaulting
• Carriage driving

These activities can help to improve mental health and promote inner calm.

Spinal Manipulative Therapy

Expert chiropractors perform a variety of spinal manipulations, reducing neck and back pain, improving posture and general well-being.
