Holistic therapy programs attempt to treat the “whole person” rather than a specific addiction or mental health issue. A person’s body, mind, and spirit are taken into account as they make their way through an addiction treatment program. By looking at every aspect of your health and wellness rather than only honing in on a specific issue, nothing is overlooked. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to a holistic recovery program. You are an individual with your own traumas and experiences that inform your life in many ways, not just how you manage your substance abuse problem.

Many different and varied addiction treatment therapies are used in conjunction with the traditional ones. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients rearrange their thinking to avoid negative thought patterns can be enhanced by also participating in art therapy, which will allow you to delve into how your emotions can cause you to be susceptible to substance abuse and by learning coping skills that you can use to manage those emotions. By combining seemingly counterintuitive therapies, each client can discover their unique path to sobriety.

Holistic Therapy in Los Angeles

Sometimes a holistic regimen sounds more like a summer camp than a mental health and addiction treatment center but it is grounded in good science and has been shown to be of great benefit to our clients. By altering your diet to eat more fruits and vegetables and drink more water you will recharge your immune system and flush out the toxins. Healthy plant-based food sources and clean, fresh water are two of the best tools to make lasting lifestyle changes. By beginning to exercise regularly you will improve your stamina, strength, and cognitive abilities. Yes, exercise can do all that for you and the sooner you get out on a trail, in a swimming pool, or on the bike trail, the sooner you can achieve optimal health.
