What is Holistic Therapy?
Steps to Recovery offers holistic approaches to mental health and addiction treatment that encourage physical wellness, emotional balance, and spiritual connection. Mental health disorders and addiction affect the whole body. Those who suffer from mental health disorders or addiction often experience mental, physical, and spiritual pain. Additionally, they may face problems at work, home, and financially. In holistic treatment programs, clients have a chance to recover in all of these areas. As a result of our program, our clients are able to build support networks and learn how to depend on staff members and others in the recovery.

Benefits of Holistic Therapy
Integrating alternative treatments for mental health and addiction disorders, such as holistic therapy, can have many benefits, including increased interest in their treatment program. A holistic recovery approach impacts our day-to-day treatment at our facilities, and we also see clients applying their holistic recovery learnings to their lives after treatment. It is important to help clients reconnect with their innate abilities in mind, body, and spirit to restore their health and offer hope for a sustained recovery. Holistic recovery approaches help our clients:
Improve their physical wellness
Balance their emotions
Grounds them spiritually
Eat nutritious foods
Detox from environmental toxins
Balance their energy and focus
Furthermore, holistic treatment approaches do not provide lasting recovery on their own. Our treatment centers also combine group therapy, individual therapy, medication-assisted treatment, nutrition education, relapse prevention, trauma therapy, and other therapies to ensure long-term recovery.
