Serenity & Environment play very important roles for drug rehab

Peaceful Environment Key Factor in Recovering From Addiction

Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center Mountainside believes that environment and attention to minute details play a significant role in a person’s recovery.

 

A core tenet of the Mountainside Drug Rehab program is the philosophy of Mind, Body Spirit. The holistic approach (meaning of many parts) utilizes multiple therapeutic disciplines to yield the best results for those suffering from addiction. While addressing addiction, this approach also allows time and space for the person being treated for addiction to find their true self. Many of the treatment methods that originated at Mountainside have been replicated at treatment centers world wide.

 

Since its inception at Mountainside, the Mind ~ Body ~ Spirit approach has been recognized by the rest of the treatment community. Using the Mountainside model as an inspiration many of these providers now incorporate the many techniques developed at Mountainside in to their treatment programs.

At Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center many alternative therapies compliment traditional therapies such as counseling and group therapy. Several of the beneficial “non-conventional” methods include Spiritual activities such as tai chi, yoga, meditation and hypnosis all offered at Mountainside Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation center.

 

The idea behind some of these activities is to educate the resident and teach them new ways to spend their time in positive ways without the need for a drink or a drug. Usually when someone arrives in treatment they are beaten up, broken and unmotivated. In most cases by the time someone leaves Mountainside they have found their direction as well as what their interests are. 

 

Essentially they leave with a new set of tools to deal with life on life’s terms, while at the same time they have acquired new hobbies.  

 

Recent studies show that activities like Qui Gong and yoga improve the recovery process, often speed up the detox process by accelerating the lymph system which in turn releases harmful chemicals from the body. In the last 10 years Yoga and Qui Gong have gained tremendous popularity in the US for their several health benefits.  These benefits include increase in energy and overall health and longevity, reductions in stress levels as well as improved sleep cycles.
