Holistic therapy is becoming one of the preferred methods for treating addiction and other mental health issues that interrupt the daily lives of women from all walks of life. A women’s holistic therapy program may help you understand the factors that have contributed to addiction and teach you healthy coping skills. This approach to treatment can help women who are struggling with addiction regain control of their lives.
At Hammocks on the Edisto, we offer holistic, whole-body approaches to addiction treatment in our center near Charleston. By focusing on wellbeing and mindfulness, the residents in our programs can better understand their triggers for relapse and barriers to recovery. Connect with our team today to learn more.
What Can You Expect in Holistic Therapy?
Holistic therapy focuses on five areas to promote a healthy state of mind and wellbeing. The treatment may help you to face the stress and anxiety daily life can produce without feeling overwhelmed or tempted to relapse. Holistic therapy is a whole-body approach to your addiction recovery. In conjunction with evidence-based approaches to treatment, this can be a more effective treatment than a standard, single-focused treatment that does not consider the mind-body connection with addiction.
Physical Elements of Holistic Therapy
Exercise and a proper diet are essential for your physical and mental health. A poor diet can lead to low blood sugar and make you feel tired and jittery. Additionally, regular exercise can help you create healthy habits that can benefit your addiction recovery.
Spiritual Elements of Holistic Therapy
Having a deeper connection with your true self can help you better understand your addiction and what triggers your cravings, which can help you avoid them in the future. If you are religious, a deeper connection with your faith can motivate you to stay sober.
Emotional Elements of Holistic Therapy
Addiction recovery that does not focus on your emotional health will often lead to a return to using substances, as it does not address the reason for your addiction. Your emotional health is vital for controlling your cravings and not letting them control you.
Social Elements of Holistic Therapy
Finding the right support system during and after addiction recovery is vital to maintaining your sobriety. Surrounding yourself with encouraging and positive friends and family will strengthen your resolve to stick with your recovery.
Mental Elements of Holistic Therapy
Mental health is not the same as emotional or spiritual health. A holistic therapy program incorporates behavioral therapy to promote changing your thinking patterns from unhealthy and self-destructive to positive and life-affirming.
