Integrative Addiction and Recovery offers an authentic model of
comprehensive integrative modalities germane and specific to the
field of addiction and recovery treatment. Although many treatment
services for addiction include "holistic," "alternative," or
"integrative" in their descriptions, they contain no substantive
programs or services consistent with the mind, body, spirit
paradigm contained within the integrative approach to health and
healing. Consequently, many patients do not have the opportunity to
benefit from the true spirit of an integrative approach within the
discipline of addition and recovery medicine. This book sets the
standard for a bona fide integrative approach for others to follow,
providing information that is immediately useful in clinical
practice and rigorously evidence-based. Authored by world-class
experts in the field of addiction medicine, Integrative Addiction
and Recovery presents both scientific and holistic data regarding a
wide variety of holistic and conventional approaches to the
treatment of substance abuse and behavioral addictions. Its
chapters cover both conventional and holistic treatment and provide
background for each of the major classes of drugs of abuse,
including opiates, alcohol, tobacco, stimulants,
sedative-hypnotics, hallucinogens and marijuana. It also includes
chapters on the topics of food addiction and behavioral addictions
such as gambling and shopping. The authors explore the major
holistic modalities, providing background and theory in areas like
acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Homeopathy,
Aromatherapy, and Ayurvedic Medicine, while at the same time
providing spiritual approach chapters on Shamanism and Ibogaine, as
well as more conventional issues with a holistic view including
Co-Occurring Disorders and Psychosocial Treatment, and Group
Support. The very complex issue of chronic pain and addiction is
also addressed, along with relapse prevention strategies.
