Modern Drug Rehab
Modern drug rehab offers much more in the form of drug and alcohol treatment modalities than even just a few years ago. Whereas the general approach was predominantly based on the 12-step format and group therapy, the induction of holistic therapies into the traditional form of drug rehab has led to more effective and comprehensive treatment programs that address the person as a whole in mind, body and spirit. At SouthCoast Recovery’s drug rehab center in Dana Point, California, we offer a comprehensive drug and alcohol treatment program that combines clinical therapy, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and the most advanced healing techniques in holistic therapies available within a 12-step modality.
SouthCoast Recovery is on the leading edge of a movement that views holistic therapies as complimentary rather than alternative to the traditional medical and clinical approach in modern drug rehab and alcohol treatment. For many people entering drug rehab, they’ve suppressed physical and emotional symptoms for years through use of drugs and alcohol. The period of time following detox can be uncomfortable as people become aware of these symptoms, maybe for the first time.
Clinical therapy and drug & alcohol counseling work to address emotional issues. The emotions have a tremendous effect on the body’s overall health. In holistic medicine, the focus is on awakening the body’s own innate power to heal itself through a combination of natural remedies, such as massage, herbs, acupuncture, yoga and meditation. Holistic therapies treat the body’s symptoms rather than suppressing it through medication. SouthCoast Recovery’s drug rehab center has a licensed acupuncturist with a Masters in Oriental Medicine on staff as well as a licensed massage therapist. Acupuncture has become widely recognized as a viable alternative to medical care in treating the various ailments that arise in conjunction with initial sobriety from alcoholism and drug addiction. The needles used during acupuncture access energy channels in the body, known as meridians. This helps to release and re-channel energy within the body and has been found to help relieve anxiety, depression and physical pain in conjunction with withdrawal. Massage is beneficial in releasing toxins from the body’s tissues while recirculating oxygen-rich blood. Used in combination, clinical therapy, acupuncture and massage serve to release emotional residue from the body, re-channel energy and restore health from the inside out.
Today, while more drug rehabs are beginning to recognize the benefits of holistic therapies in addressing the symptoms associated with alcohol and drug addiction it is still considered an alternative method of treatment. SouthCoast Recovery not only incorporates holistic care as a part of our modern drug rehab and alcohol treatment program, but also incorporates innovative workshops that address the inter-related aspects of mind, body and spirit in overcoming addiction. This is supported through group therapy and introduction to the 12-step modality that provides a sober support network worldwide.
