What Are the Benefits of Holistic Therapy for Addiction?

Evidence-based therapy is the first line of treatment against addiction, but it’s almost always not enough. There are a lot of factors that come into play when someone is struggling with addiction.

A comprehensive treatment that addresses the whole person, and not just the addiction, is important if you want to achieve long-term recovery. It’s a way to enhance self-awareness and coping skills to become more resilient against triggers.

Holistic therapy is also a way to show you that there’s more to life outside your addiction. In a way, it helps you find a sense of purpose and open your perspective. Engaging in different activities, like yoga, equine therapy, meditation, and mindfulness, can help you find a new sense of meaning. 

What to Expect During Holistic Addiction Treatment at Sierra Recovery

Recovering from addiction is a process that is internalised better when you are in a supportive and peaceful environment. The process isn’t just about undergoing rigorous treatments that constantly try to fix the problem.

While, yes, that’s the point of addiction recovery – the process also involves rediscovering passions and life outside of addiction. This is where holistic therapies come in. These therapies are a way for clients to heal on a deeper level. This involves tackling other aspects of life that traditional therapies, such as cognitive behavioural or dialectical behaviour therapy, may not address. A combination of evidence-based and holistic treatment approaches provides a comprehensive approach to recovery.

With a careful integration of holistic approaches, we aim to help clients also address the emotional, spiritual, and social aspects of healing. These aspects are very important for long-term recovery as they will help you better cope with triggers and challenges that come with slowly rebuilding a healthier, substance-free life.

What Sets Us Apart from Others

Sierra Recovery stands out from others in holistic treatment because each client is recognised as an individual with a specific and unique story. Here’s why you may want to receive treatment from us:

Comprehensive Approach

At Sierra Recovery, we don’t just ask you to participate in different holistic therapies. Instead, we mindfully integrate the treatment into your programme to complement other parts of recovery. 

We also use these therapies to address the underlying causes of addiction for a more comprehensive healing journey. As a result, other concerns that have arisen from addiction are treated, and you may even discover hidden passions you never knew you had.

You will always receive personalised treatment during your recovery experience at Sierra Recovery. We’ll consider your needs and background when crafting a holistic approach to addiction recovery. 

Our team is also here to ensure the treatment is flexible enough to adjust to your progress during treatment. This way, the treatment becomes more effective and suitable for your recovery journey. 

High costs should never be a barrier to effective treatment, and Sierra Recovery is here to provide cost-effective treatment for those who need it. Many people may struggle to receive the treatment they deserve because they fear possible financial burden. 

At Sierra Recovery, we address this problem and ensure you receive appropriate treatment for your condition. You’ll get all the benefits of a safe and comprehensive treatment programme without the high price tag typically associated with it compared to other European countries.

Our treatment facility is in the secluded and mountainous area of Málaga, Spain. As you heal, you’re surrounded by nature and get all the benefits of being in a place conducive to healing. 

This location is more than just being surrounded by beautiful scenery, though. It’s also about having a private space to focus on recovery without worrying about encountering people you know. 

Recovering from substance abuse can indeed be isolating, especially if you feel like nobody understands what you’re going through. At Sierra Recovery, we ensure you have a supportive community throughout your recovery journey.

Our team is here to provide emotional support in your time of need. We also conduct group therapy sessions so you can connect with others in the treatment centre. This way, you won’t feel alone while on the journey to a more fulfilling life. 

Other Addiction Treatments at Sierra Recovery

Aside from holistic treatment for substance use, we also use different kinds of traditional treatment during your stay. Here’s what you can expect when undergoing Sierra Recovery treatment.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT is one of the most common therapies used to address addiction. It’s a way for you to reframe any negative behaviours or thought patterns that may contribute to addictive tendencies.

The techniques you learn during CBT will help you learn how to develop healthy coping mechanisms so that you can live a sober, healthier life. Over time, they become your first line of defence whenever you encounter triggers in the outside world. 

DBT is a therapy that focuses more on acceptance and change. It’s an approach that highlights improving your relationship with others and managing intense emotions to make recovery possible. This way, it’s easier to manage addiction symptoms and prevent relapse. 

Inpatient rehab offers a structured environment for you to recover from addiction. You’ll follow a schedule of evidence-based therapy, holistic treatment, and other workshops to help you manage your symptoms. 

There will also be 24/7 staff assistance available during this kind of treatment. While the setup is a bit stringent, it helps people facing severe addictions because it provides the necessary support when needed. 

Equine therapy involves interactions with horses to help those struggling with addiction. It’s a way to enhance self-awareness and improve trust since working with horses requires clear communication and consistent effort. Through equine therapy, you’ll learn the necessary life skills needed to recover from addiction and prevent relapse. 

What to Look for in Addiction Rehab

When choosing an addiction rehab centre, looking at its treatment approach is important. If you’re not sure, try contacting the centre for more information. Many treatment centres are happy to answer your questions about their treatment approach. At Sierra Recovery, our staff is always here to guide you through our different treatment options and services. 

The location and costs of a rehab centre are also important when deciding whether the facility is right for you. Some people may prefer a facility close to them, while others may look for centres a bit further away from where they live. The former offers convenience, while the latter can provide confidentiality and a distraction-free space. 

Aftercare is essential for everyone who goes through addiction treatment. Treatment doesn’t stop once you walk out the doors of a rehab facility. It’s a lifelong journey, and you’ll need the appropriate support as you move on through life. Aftercare can make it easier to face any triggers and challenges outside of rehab so that it’s easier to live a healthy life free from harmful substances. 

Types of Holistic Therapies Used for Addiction Recovery

The most common holistic therapies used for addiction recovery are yoga, mindfulness and meditation, and nutritional counselling. Yoga involves holding physical postures and focusing on controlled breathing to promote well-being. This practice is also known to help reduce anxiety and stress, which are two common triggers for addiction.

Mindfulness involves focusing on the present, while meditation is a practice that helps you clear your mind. When combined, these two practices become very helpful during recovery. They both help you manage cravings so that you don’t easily give in to drug or alcohol use, even when outside treatment. 

Addiction can take a toll on your physical health, including your nutrition. Nutritional counselling is a way to help you assess your dietary needs so that you can heal your body. During counselling sessions, you’ll be working with a professional to learn how to improve your overall health by creating a meal plan to help you recover.
