With rising rates of morbidity and mortality from substance abuse,
addictions and mental health professionals are called upon to
integrate innovative treatment modalities that are effective in
supporting health and well-being, managing stress, decreasing
cravings, supporting abstinence, and addressing the mental health
issues that commonly occur with substance use disorders. An
approach that blends the best of conventional treatment with
complementary therapies and techniques, can bring optimal health
and wellness based on the unique needs, preferences, and goals of
each person. This book details complementary and integrative health
modalities that promote physical, emotional, cognitive, and
spiritual health, and recommends self-care and healthy lifestyle
practices for sustainable recovery from substance use disorders.
These modalities were chosen based on a body of scientific research
supporting their inclusion, and with a focus on the whole person,
mind, body and spirit. Practitioner delivered therapies are
presented, such as Acupuncture, Healing Touch and Art Therapy.
Modalities that are learned in formal treatment and then translated
to personal practice after discharge, such as Meditation, Eating
for Recovery, and Emotional Freedom Technique are reviewed. Case
studies explore these modalities to illustrate applications and
integration into conventional treatment. The book concludes a plan
for self-care that can bring improved health, quality of life and
vitality for long term recovery.
