Mind, Body, Spirit: Why Choose Holistic Drug Rehab?

7 minute read

Holistic drug rehab is a comprehensive treatment program for substance use disorders and addictions. If you’re struggling with physical, mental, or spiritual health as a result of substances, holistic treatment is the right fit for you. Essentially, our holistic approach to addiction treatment ensures each individual finds total-self recovery. Our programming intentionally targets wellness of the mind, body, and soul. Let’s further discuss the difference holistic healing will make in your life.

What Is Holistic Drug Rehab?

Holistic drug rehab is a professional treatment program for individuals who are struggling with drug addiction. The holistic component refers to the mind-body-spirit approach of treatment. When drug rehab is holistic, it incorporates an intentional mixture of traditional and holistic therapies that treat the entire self. This includes the body, the mind, and the spirit. Since illness in any of these areas will worsen your health, holistic addiction treatment ensures you achieve comprehensive healing.

What Is the Mind-Body-Spirit Connection?

The mind-body-spirit connection refers to the link between all areas of your being. If you are sick in any part, it will leave you feeling unwell throughout your whole self. For example, having a migraine can make you feel irritable, discouraged, and tired and cause you to isolate yourself from others. The same connection between your health is true on a larger scale. 

Our drug rehab at Vogue Recovery includes therapies that treat all parts of you. As a result, you’ll feel like you’ve been put back together after drugs have caused brokenness.

Traditional Rehab vs Holistic Rehab

A key element of alternative drug rehab centers like Vogue Recovery Center is the combination of traditional and holistic treatments. Traditional therapies include behavioral therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT). Depending on the concerns you bring with you to rehab (including mental disorders), you’ll be led through a specific evidence-based therapy. Then, holistic therapies are experiential therapies that target the mind, spirit, and body. Some are more movement-based, others creative-based, and others help people find deep relaxation.

What Are the Benefits of a California Holistic Drug Rehab Center?

Finding a treatment center that offers both evidence-based practices and a holistic approach to alternative healing methods can be challenging. Yet, if you want to find whole-person healing, it’s important to enter rehab that looks after your entire being. Fortunately, you can find holistic drug rehab close to home in California. We have a Vogue Recovery center in a quaint suburb of Los Angeles called Tarzana. This way, you can remain close to home and your loved ones during residential inpatient treatment. And once you transition into the aftercare level, you can stay closely connected to our supportive staff. 

What Can Holistic Drug Rehab Treat?

Holistic recovery programs are available for all people with a wide range of drug addiction struggles — and sometimes, a dual diagnosis when they cross over with mental health issues. Regardless of what types of drugs you have in your system, we can help you overcome your drug abuse. Our valued clients come into treatment with diverse backgrounds and histories of substance abuse. Some of the substances we commonly treat at Vogue Recovery are outlined below. 

Alcohol Addiction in Los Angeles

Alcohol is one of the most addictive substances, even though people commonly abuse it but consider it a social habit. To be certain, alcohol abuse is widespread because of the messaging around alcohol as a social activity. But many people struggle to form healthy habits around drinking. Binge drinking and heavy drinking can develop into alcohol addiction and alcohol use disorder (AUD). AUD is a severe brain disorder that makes it impossible for an individual to stop on their own. 

Opioid Addiction in Los Angeles

Opioids are natural and man-made pain relieving medications. They are extremely powerful when it comes to alleviating pain and triggering positive chemical responses in the brain. Thus, opioid abuse has become a national crisis, with thousands of people overdosing on opioids each year. Popular opioids include heroin, oxycodone, hydromorphone, morphine, and fentanyl. Notably,  fentanyl is an opioid that is involved in a majority of opioid overdose cases, as it’s a cheap filler drug.

Stimulant Addiction in Los Angeles

Psychostimulants are prescription medications that excite the brain to increase energy, focus, sociability, and performance. They are commonly prescribed for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and sleep disorders. But because of the way their effects improve brain function, they are often abused. For example, people who often engage in stimulant abuse include athletes, students, employers, and other individuals. Stimulant abuse leads to addiction, which must be professionally treated in order to be overcome. 

Prescription Drug Addiction in Los Angeles

There are many types of strong prescription medications that are abused for the high they deliver. However, misusing any prescription drugs is dangerous and can lead to addiction and overdose. Along with opioids and stimulants, central nervous system depressants are often abused for their calming and relaxing side effects. While medications with high abuse potential are carefully monitored and prescribed, illicit drug use continues regardless. It doesn’t take long for your drug use to become a serious problem. 

What Therapies are Used in Holistic Drug Rehab?

As mentioned, we utilize many different holistic therapy methods in our natural drug rehab. We encourage our clients to try as many as they would like. Once they figure out which therapies are the best fit for them, they can focus their time. Markedly, holistic therapies offer different benefits. Some focus more on physical movement while others are more mental and spiritual in approach. Yet, all of them help individuals connect their holistic healing, especially when combined with traditional therapy. 

Explore some of our most popular alternative therapy treatments below:

Expressive Arts Therapy

Expressive arts therapy is an overarching treatment that includes many art-based activities. The reason creative arts therapies are effective is because they engage the brain in positive ways. The simple act of creating something can reduce stress and release positive chemical messengers. Thus, making art is a healthy coping method instead of using substances. And because individuals tune out while creating, they can unlock deep memories or feelings without realizing it. 

Art Therapy

Art therapy includes any type of art, from painting to drawing to sculpting or collage-making. If one of our clients has a specific interest, they are welcome to explore it! We provide supplies and ideas for those who are new to art forms. 

Music Therapy

Music therapy provides a wonderful outlet for individuals to channel their experience into song. It includes all music-based creative expressions. Some of our clients use this time to play instruments, others to write songs, and others to sing. Even if you don’t believe you’re musical, you will enjoy the freedom of music therapy. 

Journal Therapy

Journaling helps people move their thoughts and feelings from their brain onto paper. For many, the act of journaling provides them with clarity and more open headspace. Processing your emotions is an important part of drug rehab. Sometimes the best person to talk to about your experience is yourself! Plus, you can explore your journal entries during your individual therapy sessions if you wish. 

Yoga

Yoga is a movement and meditation therapy. Deriving from ancient India, yoga therapy is a true holistic practice that engages the whole self. Along with moving and holding different poses, yoga encourages you to practice mindfulness. Some of the positive results of yoga are flexibility, strength, stress reduction, and energy. 

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is performed by registered massage therapists (RMTs) to help individuals relieve tension and soreness in their bodies. As mentioned, this is one of the holistic therapies that leads to deep relaxation and peace. Some of our clients have co-occurring substance use disorders and chronic pain. They especially can benefit from including massage therapy into their treatment plan. However, all people can benefit from the positive physical improvements of massage.

Meditation and Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a therapy technique where you allow yourself to spend time focused on your inner being. This gives you space to process your thoughts, feelings, habits, and the teachings you learn in rehab. It’s important to spend time considering your healing experience so you can move through recovery at a healthy pace. Mindfulness activities like meditation help with mind-body addiction recovery, as they help you feel the connections throughout your self. 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical therapy. Based on the idea that energy flows through the body of a healthy person, acupuncture focuses on releasing spots of blocked energy. Notably, it can help with blood flow, tension, pain, and sluggishness. This alternative therapy involves tiny needles inserted into acupoints throughout the body. The results benefit your mind, body, and spirit.

Life Skills Training

Life skills training is a program within substance abuse rehab for those who desire to gain certain life skills. To elaborate, people who have battled substance addiction are often lacking in certain experiences and skills. In order to best equip them for life after rehab, life skills training teaches them a variety of practices. These include financial planning, resume creation, nutritious eating, and interpersonal skills. This levels the playing field to help sober individuals find success in their personal and professional lives after drug rehab.

Finding a Unique Path to Drug Recovery in Los Angeles

You can find your own unique path to healing through Vogue Recovery. Our whole-person addiction treatment centers customize programming to each individual because everyone has their own story and needs. Here’s how we help tailor treatment for each of our clients.

Individualized Treatment Plans

Every person who enters our holistic recovery centers starts by creating an individualized treatment plan with their therapist. During your initial consultation, you will discuss your needs, timeline, and goals. Every element of your situation will be factored into your care plan. You’ll follow this service plan throughout your rehab, although it can be further customized as needed. 

Evidence-based Psychotherapy

During treatment, you will participate in both evidence-based therapy and holistic therapy. Your therapist will determine which behavioral therapy is the best fit for your situation. However, your therapy sessions are also tailored around you. If one therapy method isn’t working, you can switch gears until you have a breakthrough. By using traditional psychotherapy alongside holistic therapy, you experience well-rounded treatment.

Expert and Caring Staff

Each staff member we employ at Vogue Recovery centers is knowledgeable about substance use disorders and mental health disorders. They are licensed in their field and show high-quality care and empathy to our clients.
