What is Holistic Drug Rehab?
The time has come when you decide you’re sick and tired of being ‘sick and tired.’ You’ve had enough of the “wild side” of life, and you want to make a life for yourself with meaning and direction—free from the shackles of substance abuse. Today is a great day! Congratulations.
The opportunity to recover is a major event, and you want to give yourself the best chance for success. Staying close to home may not be in your best interest, so consider going to an unfamiliar area to change the people, places, and things you’re accustomed to.
Not all rehabs are created equal. The “traditional” rehab offers a program of detoxification, which may include replace/alternative drug therapy. This means that in an effort to wean you off one drug, they will give you a “safe” drug to ease withdrawal symptoms. Some people, sadly, find themselves psychologically or physically addicted to the replacement drug, and then have to be weaned off them, or rely on them for their sobriety.
As an alternative, a holistic approach will not use one drug to replace another. The holistic approach will seek to heal you through a variety of natural treatments, talk therapy, and behavior modification treatment. The treatments indentify ways to heal your body, mind, and spirit. They may include acupuncture, colonics, Reiki, and massage therapies. They may include assessing your mineral and vitamin deficiencies, and structuring a program to redefine a healthier way of eating; they basically supplement your body to rebuild the broken systems in it.
Focusing on rebuilding your body may include working out, sitting in saunas and steam stations, swimming in a pool or natural bodies of water, and dieting. Martial arts is another way to refocus your mind, and along with the other treatments, can be used in concert to help you learn a new and better way to live. As with all treatments, the objective is to help you to recover and lead a healthy lifestyle. No program is perfect for everyone. But now you know there are different choices. Investigate a variety of programs and their approaches, and decide which one fits your needs best.
