Although holistic care techniques have been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years, the use of such holistic care in the treatment of addiction is a relatively new approach. Holistic rehab focuses on helping patients to heal on all levels for total health and well-being. This practice focuses on fully assessing a patient to determine his or her health spiritually, emotionally, physically and psychologically and then develops a plan of action for treatment that incorporates a combination of traditional medicine and holistic techniques.
Holistic practitioners and treatment professionals treat the patient as a whole person and do not stop to look only at their addiction and what can be done to fix it. This approach focuses on taking into consideration any disease, discomfort, pain, mental instability or spiritual sense that a patient has and finds a way to treat all elements of the patient’s life for total wellness.

Benefits of Holistic Rehab
The benefits of holistic rehab are very substantial. Patients who receive holistic treatment report reduced withdrawal symptoms, an overall easier experience in treatment and have better health. Holistic rehab uses various means of alternative treatments such as:
- Acupuncture
- Massage therapy
- Touch therapy
- Spiritual guidance
- Tai-chi
- Yoga
- Meditation
These therapeutic methods and techniques are used to treat the patient from within for a renewed sense of self. Overall, holistic rehab can offer patients spiritual awakening, physical healing, emotional healing and total well-being like no other treatment or rehabilitation program can offer.
Each patient will have a different outcome but the overall benefits of holistic treatment include healing of the mind, body and spirit.
Who Can Holistic Rehab Help?
Just about anyone can benefit from the healing powers of holistic rehabilitation programs. Because each patient is different and the idea of holistic medicine focuses on healing the patient from within, holistic rehab programs always include complete patient assessment and the development of a specialized patient plan of therapy that will help them. There are no two programs that are the same in holistic treatment because each patient has such different levels of health spiritually, emotionally, physically and psychologically.
Those suffering from drug or alcohol addiction, sex addiction, internet addiction or food addiction can all find benefits in a holistic rehab program. Each patient is treated with respect and dignity and each will receive specialized treatment and care for their individual addiction, health and overall healing needs.
