Is Holistic Detox Right for Me?

Holistic detox is a method of treatment for drug or alcohol addiction withdrawal that focuses on whole person healing which includes specific care for the body, mind and spirit. If you’re not sure if holistic detox is the right choice for you, consider the great benefits that come from this type of treatment and how it can help you become a healthier person both in recovery and in the rest of your life.

Benefits of Holistic Detox

A holistic detox professional will provide you with a full array of beneficial treatments that can help you gain balance and stability in your life. These programs recognize that the body is deeply harmed as a result of addiction as is the mind and the spirit of the individual—in an effort to promote whole person healing, these programs focus on providing treatment for every aspect of the individual’s life.

If you believe you need more than the traditional methods of treatment in order to achieve recovery, holistic detoxification is for you.

According to Web MD, “a holistic doctor may use all forms of health care, from conventional medication to alternative therapies, to treat a patient.” Treatment often involves medications as well as lifestyle changes, alternative therapies and counseling in order to help the patient heal on all levels.

Principles of Holistic Detox

Holistic detox principles are based on the primary holistic medicine principles that suggest people are in charge of their own health and that unconditional love for one’s body is the best treatment of all. Generally, if you want holistic detox to be the right choice for you, then you’ll have to be committed to healing and to doing whatever it takes to get sober. This may include making lifestyle changes or taking medications or exercising or attending counseling or taking part in all of these practices to help your body, mind and spirit heal.

The detoxification process will be based on the following principles of holistic medicine:

  • a recognition that people are empowered with their own ability to heal
  • recognition that each patient is an individual person and that their addiction does not define them
  • an understanding that healing will be a team approach which includes the work of the patient, the doctor, the treatment staff and their ability to address all aspects of the individual’s life not just the addiction
  • a recognition that treatment is about more than just masking symptoms or fixing individual problems—it requires fixing the underlying causes of the problems to prevent such from re-occurring
