Holistic Drug Rehab Centers Treatment Models

 The treatment model that is most used at holistic drug rehab centers, is an alternative treatment program, coupled with therapy groups, one-on-one therapy, meditation sessions, Acupuncture, yoga, and a wide variety of Western and Eastern healing practices. Some programs will incorporate other alternative treatment models such as art therapy, music therapy, and other types of alternative therapy. The length of stay at a private holistic treatment center for addiction can vary from program to program. We have found that programs that are longer than the normal, 28-day program, will have a greater result when it comes to long-lasting sobriety. Alternative healing rehab centers are one of the most effective treatment models for addiction there is. Give us a call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and we can help you locate a holistic drug rehab center anywhere in the United States.

Treatment Process At a Holistic Drug Rehabilitation Center

Treatment in holistic drug treatment programs starts with detox if it is needed to rid the body of drugs and or alcohol and help with withdrawal symptoms. Once the initial intake is done and all the case notes are taken into account, the program is specifically designed to fit the needs and concerns of the primary certified drug and alcohol counselor. With a treatment plan in place, the work begins with self-building and the discovery phase of the program. This, coupled with daily group and one-on-one therapy, and activities that keep the client busy will help them to achieve their goals every day. While working on ourselves, we often forget the damage that has been caused by our addiction. This damage can have some long-lasting consequences. Raising the responsibility level, along with being accountable for our actions, is worked on along with therapy, to help speed up the process. Once we have seen the scope of the damage that one bad choice can make and what it can take to fix the problem that the bad choice caused, making better choices seems like the easier route to go.

Types of optional therapies used in Holistic Drug Rehabs include:

Acupuncture is known for its therapeutic effectiveness in treating addiction and other mental health disorders. The use of acupuncture in certain meridians is believed to improve your energy flow or qi by opening stagnant or blocked lines.

Through biofeedback, the brain can repair itself and potentially heal itself by returning to a healthy state. Neurofeedback can help clients understand how the brain works and teach them how to control it to get the desired outcomes. During biofeedback, the practitioner places electronic sensors on the patient’s skin. These sensors are hard-wired to a medical device EEG that gives the medical professionals feedback on the patient’s bio signs. Biofeedback is done with pulsating sounds, and or flashes of light. The way the patient responds to the messages given informs the patient how they can learn to incorporate relaxation exercises to control how their body responds to stressful situations like withdrawal and cravings.

No one can control what they think of, it is a process that happens automatically without our cognitive knowledge. These thoughts can lead to certain choices that we are faced with every day. Changing and relating how we make our decisions, how to make the right choices and the steps it takes to make these choices is the goal of early therapy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT. When faced with a choice, we often make that choice without weighing all of the possible outcomes. The thought process is what needs to change. Instead of being reactive to life in such a manner that your choices do not take into account the consequences of your actions and who or what part of your life is affected by this choice. Some mental and addiction problems are based on illogical thought processes rather than chemical imbalances or repressed trauma. Changing and relating how we make our decisions, how to make the right choices and the steps it takes to make these choices is the goal of early therapy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT.

DBT Therapy or Dialectical Behavior Therapy is specifically designed to help individuals with self-harm and destructive behaviors. Many people who have these types of behaviors can meet or be close to meeting the criteria for another disorder called BPD or borderline personality disorder. Some with BPD have other underlying mental or chemical imbalances as well, Bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders that cannot be generally handled by medications alone. These problems can lead to emotional vulnerability if not handled the correct way through DBT. In conjunction with other therapies, medication, and counseling, we can accomplish anything through individual therapy, skills groups, and coaching sessions utilizing DBT as a treatment model.

The benefits of massage therapy when used in treatment, has many benefits to people that are recovering from the adverse effects of substance or alcohol misuse. If you plan on using holistic therapy and treatment options, massage therapy might be something you want to incorporate during your treatment program. 

Meditation has been a valuable tool for holistic recovery programs. It can help people feel calm, reflect on the past, plan for the future, cope with triggers, and avoid relapses. Meditation will also help the individual reduce stress, withdrawal symptoms, anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD symptoms.

Moral Reconation Therapy has been specifically designed to enhance self-worth, positive behavior, social skills, and moral traits in the individual and usually consists of 8 or more hours a week of therapy in conjunction with other therapies and spiritual counseling and groups. Changing how to think and raising moral responsibility will help in the choices that have to be made every day.

Yoga can be used to help people become aware of themselves on both a physical and psychological level. This allows people to take early action, such as improving posture, when discomfort is first noticed. People who study yoga learn to relax and they can use the technique whenever pain appears. Practicing yoga can give chronic pain sufferers useful tools to actively cope with their pain and to help counter their feelings of helplessness and depression.

Free Holistic Drug Rehab or Low-Cost Treatment Centers

When you are looking at the difference between private and free treatment programs, there are a few differences. A program that offers drug rehabilitation at a highly reduced rate or even for free, will want something in exchange for treatment services. This is provided usually in the form of work or donation drives. This can lengthen the stay for treatment considerably due to the work exchange. The length of stay can vary with these programs from 90 days up to 2 years depending on the center and the commitment from the client. Due to the length of stay, these free programs can be the most successful for someone wanting to make the commitment to finish the entire program.

If you are looking to utilize your insurance benefits to cover the cost of treatment in a Holistic treatment program, you may or may not have run into some roadblocks along the way. With the acceptance of Holistic treatment methods and their greatly improved success rates, insurance companies are starting to accept more and more treatment programs into their networks. This is great news for those seeking treatment for addiction and wanting to utilize their benefits. Give us a call and we can help determine what type of drug rehab program your insurance will cover.

Outpatient Care for initial addiction treatment is sometimes required before some insurance will cover the next level of care, which would be an inpatient drug treatment center. Outpatient Care and treatment options are usually used in conjunction with or as a stand-alone aftercare treatment program. When using outpatient for initial addiction treatment, the individual must have the drive, motivation, and support system in place for it to be effective.

Aftercare is usually done in the last week of treatment to make sure there is a plan in place for support from local groups and counselors. Due to the fact that most of our clients come from other areas, we do offer online support, as well as meetings for alumni at the center. Call us now. Our counselors are here to help you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
