Holistic drug rehab model adopted as standard of care worldwide
Drug rehabs worldwide adopt holistic drug rehab as model for care
Drug rehabs globally are utilizing holistic treatment methods into their program offerings in an attempt to improve treatment outcomes for substance abusers.
From its humble beginnings, Mountainside realized that the sum of the individual is greater than all of the parts. This core philosophy has evolved into a holistic drug rehab model that is recognized by professionals in the addiction treatment field and has since been trademarked by Mountainside as its Integrated Care Model™.
“Our research into addiction treatment first began by examining the current treatment methodologies within the addiction treatment field,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside. “Upon close examination, we discovered that the standardized treatment being offered could be expanded upon. In addition to the evidence based treatment being provided by drug addiction treatment facilities, we took a leap of faith and began a program that integrates the basic drug rehab treatments along with Eastern disciplines such as meditation, Yoga, Qigong, and hypnosis. Being experts in the addiction treatment field, we also realized that environment plays a crucial part in one’s journey to sobriety. To that end, we created an idyllic setting on 39 sprawling, yet private, acres in the foothills of the Berkshires- an environment that is peaceful, serene and highly conducive to recovery.”
“As professionals in the treatment field began witnessing our success rates, greater recognition of the value of our holistic drug rehab model spread nationally. The greater the overall success of the addiction treatment field, the more lives that are affected. And, that’s what’s it all about: changing people’s lives for the better.”
Mountainside’s compassionate, caring treatment team at Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center is comprised of licensed and certified counselors and social workers as well as an on-staff Nurse Practitioner and a Registered Nurse, both of whom have specializations and extensive experience in drug addiction and alcohol treatment. For clients who may have psychiatric issues and/or a dual diagnosis, Mountainside provides the services of a Psychiatrist who also is a specialist in addiction treatment.
The program along with the cohesive addiction treatment team has earned national recognition and resulted in Mountainside being invited by the White House to meet with the White House Drug Czar, John P. Waters, for an in-depth meeting on what makes their program so successful. These accolades brought more attention in the addiction treatment field to the value and effectiveness of the holistic approach to drug addiction treatment.
