A holistic approach to your addiction may be the best option for a long-lasting recovery. There are many options for treating addiction, but using holistic methods builds a strong foundation. In a society where many people turn to addictive prescription medications, this is a great way to ensure sobriety. If you’re serious about getting help to stay sober, you should strongly consider a holistic approach to addiction recovery.
Currently, in the United States of America, more people die from prescription drug overdoses than any other drug. Yes, this is more than the overdoses from heroin and cocaine combined, which number in the tens of thousands. Many people trying to get sober have struggled with addictions to medications in the past, which causes concern with recovery. Some of the most common prescription medications that people develop addictions to include:
You may have heard that there are many new medications to help people who are trying to get sober, and they may help. The problem is that there are some people who develop an addiction to these new medications like Suboxone or methadone. Using holistic methods to get sober can be very beneficial because you find natural ways to begin the healing process. While you may receive medications to help with certain health issues, you won’t take any addiction medications.

People have practiced meditation for thousands of years, and this started with psychological philosophies. Long before Freud and other great psychologists, people of the east have practiced improving mental health through meditation. Now, medical science is able to prove that meditation actually helps the brain heal as well as become stronger. In some studies, it has been found that regular meditation works as well as anti-depressant medications.
Mindfulness is one of the most common forms of meditation, and it can be done in a completely informal setting. What this means is that it’s a practice that doesn’t require you to sit with your eyes closed as many people think. Mindfulness is a practice of paying attention in the present moment and without judgment. This helps train your mind to focus on what you want to focus on, which can greatly calm the mind in different situations.
