What is a holistic treatment for addiction recovery?

Home » Blog » What is a holistic treatment for addiction recovery?

You may have heard the term holistic treatment in addiction recovery. But what is it? And who can benefit from it? Holistic treatment is a holistic approach to treating the whole person, not just the disease symptoms. Holistic addiction recovery doesn’t discount traditional treatment methods but instead uses holistic approaches to addiction treatment in combination with them.

Although standard addiction treatment methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Treatment and Medication Assisted Treatments have been widely accepted and used in the field, holistic approaches can be helpful to curb withdrawal symptoms and provide coping tools to help prevent relapse. They also help with mental and spiritual well-being and overall quality of life.

What is Holistic Addiction Recovery?

The holistic approach to addiction treatment is becoming more popular in addiction recovery. In addition, it can be incorporated into other standard therapies.

Holistic treatment can be described as a broad term that refers to an “all-person” approach to addiction treatment. It includes focusing on mental and physical health and other aspects of an individual’s health, such as spiritual well-being. Holistic Therapy is based on integrating the individual’s mind, body, emotions, and spirituality.

Holistic addiction treatment addresses the whole person, not just a specific symptom or aspect. Holistic treatment is designed to improve the overall well-being of an individual, not just treat a particular behavior or symptom.

While holistic approaches are distinct from traditional psychotherapeutic approaches, there is an alternative field called “holistic psychotherapy.” This combines both of them.

Holistic psychotherapy, which combines standard talk therapy such as psychoanalysis and cognitive behavior therapy with non-traditional holistic therapies like hypnotherapy or breathwork, is perhaps the most notable. You will find holistic therapies being used in many addiction treatment centers today.

Does Holistic Treatment have any evidence-based basis?

Most addiction treatment involves evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Treatment and Medication Assisted Therapy. However, insurance does not cover holistic therapies as there isn’t as much empirical evidence to support their effectiveness. However, holistic treatment can still be highly effective.

Research has shown holistic therapies can provide many benefits, including increased well-being, a greater sense of self, and decreased anxiety or depression.

While holistic treatment may seem counter-productive to psychotherapeutic and pharmaceutical approaches to recovery, they can all be used in conjunction with each other when done correctly by addiction specialists.

For example, cognitive Behavioral Therapy and medication-assisted treatment can be combined with holistic therapies like meditation, exercise, and nutritional Therapy.

What are some examples of holistic addiction treatment?

In the field of addiction recovery, there are many holistic treatment options. These are some of the most common holistic treatment options for addiction recovery:

  • Biofeedback and Neurofeedback
  • Art, music, and writing therapy
  • Yoga
  • Nutritional Therapy
  • Exercise
  • Herbal and plant medicines
  • Acupuncture
  • Reiki
  • Hydrotherapy
  • Aromatherapy
  • Sound Therapy
  • Shamanic Healing
  • Energy Healing
  • Breathwork
  • Hypnotherapy
  • Kirtan
  • Tai Chi
  • Meditation and Mindfulness
  • Massage Therapy
  • Experiential Therapy
  • Nature Therapy
  • Equine Therapy and Other Animal Therapies

Hathaway Recovery offers holistic addiction recovery services

Hathaway Recovery Addiction Services counselors have been trained in many holistic healing methods, some well-known but others more recent. These are just a few holistic services our clients can access at our California facilities.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a practice that has been practiced for thousands of years. It originated in eastern philosophies. Unfortunately, we can quickly become distracted and disoriented in today’s high-tech world. It can be difficult to “live in the moment” when drugs and alcohol are involved.

Our clients and staff at Hathaway Recovery practice mindfulness daily, from 5-minute sessions to more long-lasting and rewarding experiences.

People who used to have their mind racing and constant emotions overtaking them now find that they can live more in the present and feel at peace with themselves. This is a fundamental skill that clients of Hathaway Recovery can practice. It is a life-changing tool that is very rewarding.

Yoga

Addiction can be a sign of a person’s imbalance. Yoga is an excellent option for addicts who are recovering from addiction. It integrates the mind, body, and spirit to help restore and balance the individual.

Yoga requires that you remain still, pay attention to your breathing, and feel every part of your body. In addition, yoga helps you relax and be alert, which allows you to think clearly and respond without impulsiveness.

Yoga can help you develop inner strength, confidence, and discipline. These qualities should replace feelings like helplessness or low self-esteem. Yoga can calm the mind, help you find your true self, and determine your goals.

Meditation and Breathing Exercises

Scientists have found that people exhibit various breathing patterns depending on their feelings. This has been proven through years of research. Hathaway Recovery will teach you breathing techniques that can be used throughout your life as a coping strategy.

You will experience increased energy and concentration and a decreased stress level if you change your breathing habits.

We also offer client group meditation as part of our holistic addiction treatment program. Once clients are done with treatment, they can continue the practice for many years.

Meditation can help you relax, calm down, increase mental clarity, boost optimism, and create a sense of calm.

Practitioners also tend to develop a greater sense of non-judgmental self-awareness, inner peace, and tolerance. Meditation is an excellent tool for holistic addiction rehabilitation and mental health treatment. For example, it can help to fend off cravings and symptoms of depression or anxiety.

Nutritional treatment

The old saying, “you are what you eat,” could not be more accurate for those who are addicted to drugs and alcohol and who do not focus on maintaining a healthy diet. Nutritional Therapy helps these patients learn the importance of eating well by teaching how healthy foods can improve their recovery odds. For example, regular consumption of sugary foods and drinks can cause energy loss throughout the day.

Having little to no energy impacts a person’s productivity, cognitive abilities, and internal drive to do something with their day. Healthy foods like chicken and dairy products contain different vitamins and minerals that aid in sustained energy. Nutritional Therapy in holistic addiction treatment helps teach patients information such as this so they can adopt and implement healthy eating habits in their recovery. 

For physical fitness and health

Physical fitness is a cornerstone of holistic addiction treatment. Hathaway Recovery is where clients and staff can run, bike, lift weights, play basketball, and peddle. Although clients aren’t required to take part in all activities, we have plenty of options so they can find a suitable activity for them.

Adventure and Experiential Therapy

Finding new and healthy activities is an essential step toward long-term sobriety. This is particularly important for:

  • People who spent their entire lives acquiring and using drugs were known as drug addicts.
  • People who coped with stress, depression, and anxiety through isolation or self-harm

Adventure therapy is a form of holistic Therapy that allows clients to explore the world outside the walls of a rehab center. Clients are taken to various locations on or off the campus of our facility to enjoy some self-exploration and the great outdoors.

  • First I’ll start by saying that, this facility is absolutely beautiful! A couple years ago my husband Tony attended Hathaway Recovery in Claremont Ca. While Tony was in residential he received every care needed for a successful recovery. Also, he was able to enjoy the home gym at the beautiful Hathaway home, it’s basketball court, pool and etc. which made his stay even more pleasant. I am forever grateful for the man Tony has become ever since his completion. He has two years clean under his belt and many more to come because of the amazing facility. Thanks again Hathaway Recovery and Staff, Keep Continuing Changing Lives, God Bless Diane and Tony

  • I came to Hathaway Recovery on court orders stemming from charges due to not taking medications for my mental health. I was fearful of what my future held and what that would look like. I have never been to a dual diagnosis treatment program before, and I didn’t know what to expect. I really didn’t think I had a substance abuse problem but after about 3-4 weeks of group therapy and the counselors here at this facility, I finally realized substance abuse influenced me to not be able to take care of my mental health. With the help of Hathaway Recovery’s team, I was able to build a strong foundation for my recovery that is vital to me and my family. The clinical staff, therapist, case managers, and counselors included, were honest, caring, and really helped me gain the knowledge I needed to build this recovery program and lifestyle. I am forever grateful for the treatment at Hathaway Recovery.

  • My brother has been addicted for years. All our family gave up on him. Recently, he completed an inpatient residential program at Hathaway Recovery. This place is blessed and so helpful. It’s very luxurious, you feel like you are on vacation at a beautiful resort. Hathaway Recovery staff is very helpful, understanding and supportive. They all helped him to recover and to become a human again and enjoy his life. This place also supports family members and teaches them how to deal with aftercare to prevent relapse. Hathaway Recovery is the place for those who are struggling with addiction. Thank you for everything!

  • As a Trauma Informed Therapist I was contracted by Dina , the Owner to provide additional Trauma Informed Counseling. She indicated that she was seeking additional clinical services because her client population were enthusiastic about their recovery and she wanted to provide quality care. Working with Hathaway has been magical. This program does not separate addiction and mental health trauma into separate treatments, This program blends together the understanding that addicts have childhood trauma and have habitually used drugs or alcohol to dull their inner pain., Hathaway Recovery provides highly individual services for each client, including bilingual counseling. This is a program that I am proud to be a part of. Susan Pennington, LCSW – Trauma Informed Counseling Services.

  • Hathaway Recovery Center is the real deal. They helped me find myself when I was completely lost. After I lost the mother of my child due to a tragic accident. The therapists and counselors truly cared. We made a relationship with each other that was unbreakable. The other clients were awesome roommates and true to me. The house managers were great and the living situations were awesome. If I ever even think about slipping up I’ll be returning. Today I have over one year clean.
