Holistic Therapy

What is Holistic Therapy?

Traditionally, addiction treatment primarily focused on treating the symptoms of addiction — namely, an abstinence-based approach that emphasized quitting drugs and alcohol. However, this approach often did not go far enough in addressing the underlying causes of addiction. In addition, it doesn’t always provide tools for maintaining sobriety outside of the safety of residential treatment. Fortunately, it is now understood just how important it is to also treat the mental, emotional, and spiritual effects of addiction. Holistic therapy is a way to treat clients with a “whole-body” approach that allows them to achieve a more total healing from addiction.

Numerous studies have demonstrated holistic approaches to addiction treatment to be very effective in helping clients to achieve a longer-lasting and more complete recovery. These programs help people rebuild their self-confidence and self-esteem. They also give them a better understanding and acceptance of their own identity.

Holistic addiction therapies don’t just offer a path to sobriety. They can also help lower stress, reduce depression and anxiety symptoms, improve physical health, and provides tools and techniques for dealing with relapse triggers and major life events.

The Benefits of Holistic Therapy

At Sunrise Rehab and Recovery, we don’t offer holistic addiction therapy just to say we have alternative therapies. Research has found that it is extremely beneficial to clients — especially those who are suffering from PTSD. 

Living with the symptoms of PTSD and addiction makes it difficult to relax. It also increases stress and anxiety tremendously. Holistic therapies help to treat all of these issues, making it easier for you to work through your trauma to find a fuller and more meaningful level of healing. Some of the proven benefits of holistic addiction therapy include:

• It helps to treat the emotional, mental, and spiritual effects of PTSD and addiction. 
• It helps you learn how to better manage stress without letting it overwhelm you or set your recovery back.
• Significantly reduces your risk of relapsing.
• You are able to choose from a range of options. This gives you the ability to choose a therapy that you enjoy.
• You are able to continue these activities even after leaving your treatment facility. This helps you fill your time with a meaningful and enjoyable activity.
