Success for drug addiction treatment using alternative holistic methods

nnovative addiction treatment center in Connecticut uses alternative holistic treatment methods to combat drug addiction and strengthen the recoveries for those addicted to drugs and alcohol.

Long time advocate of alternative substance abuse treatment methods, Mountainside Addiction Treatment Center has found that the use of Qigong and Yoga, when appropriately used in combination with other treatment methods are highly effective tools at engaging individuals in treatment and building lasting recoveries.

These alternative methods have been used for centuries to help individuals maintain a healthy and peaceful lifestyle as well as combat illnesses and speed up recovery times. For example, research studies have shown that extensive drug use clogs the body with toxic debris. TCH, for instance, can lodge in the tissues for years. Qigong’s active stimulation of the lymph system speeds up the detox process, helping to remove impurities from the bloodstream. “Dirty” blood, as some refer to it, causes a natural unrest within the person, so by accelerating the release of these toxins through holistic addiction treatment methods affords the individuals a better chance to be at peace and focus on recovery.

When an individual is engaged in drug addiction or alcohol abuse, their natural abilities to manage stress and tension are compromised. The longer the terms of addiction and abuse, the greater the impairment to these coping mechanisms. Once an individual stops using drugs or alcohol, their internal systems and chemistry remain out of balance and in turmoil as they try to reset without the sudden spikes of chemicals from which they have grown accustomed. Mountainsides diverse therapeutic activities are invaluable as a partial remedy for these ups and downs and works diligently to ensure that each client is comfortable and surrounded by the necessary support to engage in treatment. Tai Chi and Qigong’s breathing style, hand movements and postures actively induce a long-lasting relaxation response and a sense of well-being.
