G&G Holistic Drug Rehab: Holistic Treatment Programs Healing The Body & Mind

A holistic treatment program encompasses the body, mind, and spirit. It may be fairly easy to grasp what is involved in treating the body and mind; it means taking care of the physical body, which includes the brain, and treating the mind, i.e. the reasoning and cognition processes and, to some extent, the emotions. Exactly what is meant by treating the spirit, however, may not be as clear.


In holistic medicine, the spiritual nature of a person may mean a belief in a Higher Power. For those of the Jewish faith, this can mean Yahweh -“The One Whose Name Cannot Be Uttered." For those who consider themselves members of the Christian faith, which includes Protestants, with all its various denominations and churches, and Catholics, who themselves have various branches of the one “Holy” or “Mother” Church, this most likely means God the Father and Jesus the Son. Some churches also recognize the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.


Those of other faiths may call the deity they believe in by a different name—Buddha, Allah, or Vashti for instance. Still others may not believe in a Higher Power or Spiritual Being as such, but do believe that supernatural events can occur or do take place. Whatever the wording or phrasing used, all of them still encompass what is considered the spiritual aspect of holistic treatment. And, a holistic drug treatment program takes each person’s individual, personal belief into account when determining the course a treatment program should take.


A good drug rehab program should not concern itself with a person’s religion; rather, it should focus on how that person’s beliefs and spirituality can be used in the treatment program. This is what the staff members at Holistic Drug Rehab facilities do.
