Addiction Recovery
Holistic Addiction Treatment
Discover how holistic addiction treatment supports lasting recovery by addressing the mind, body, and spirit—not just the symptoms of substance abuse.
What exactly is holistic addiction treatment?
Holistic addiction treatment addresses the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. It combines traditional therapy with mind-body practices, creative outlets, nutrition, and spiritual growth to support emotional healing, physical well-being, and long-term recovery from substance abuse and mental health issues.
How long does this type of treatment take?
Treatment duration varies, but most holistic programs at The Edge Treatment Center last between 30 and 90 days. Length depends on your specific needs, progress, and whether you're transitioning into aftercare or outpatient support for ongoing recovery.
Will insurance cover holistic therapies?
Many insurance plans cover core treatment services. While not all holistic therapies are included, we work with you to verify benefits, explain coverage, and offer flexible payment options so you can receive the comprehensive care you need without unnecessary stress.
Can family members be involved in treatment?
Yes. Family involvement is encouraged through therapy sessions and CRAFT-based coaching. These services help loved ones heal, rebuild trust, and provide healthy support, making them an essential part of the recovery journey at The Edge Treatment Center.
Is there evidence that holistic care works?
Yes. Studies show that combining mindfulness, exercise, and expressive therapies with clinical treatment reduces cravings, strengthens mental health, and lowers relapse risk. Holistic approaches promote long-term recovery by addressing both the emotional and physical root causes of addiction.
Addiction affects more than just your body—it reaches into your thoughts, emotions, and relationships, leaving you feeling lost, isolated, and stuck in a cycle of pain. When only the physical symptoms are treated, the deeper issues behind the addiction often remain, making long-term recovery difficult.
That’s why we believe true healing goes beyond surface-level treatment. Through holistic addiction treatment, we focus on your entire well-being—mind, body, and spirit. This whole-person approach helps you or your loved one find lasting recovery, not just by treating addiction, but by restoring balance, purpose, and hope in your life.
Core Components of Our Holistic Model
At The Edge Treatment Center, we understand that healing from addiction requires more than just addressing physical symptoms—it means nurturing every part of who you are. Our holistic addiction treatment model integrates a range of evidence-based and complementary therapies to support long-term recovery. Here’s what that looks like:
Therapeutic Counseling: Individual, Group, and Family Therapy
Therapy is the backbone of recovery. Our programs include one-on-one counseling tailored to your unique history, group therapy that builds connection and shared growth, and family therapy to repair and strengthen key relationships. These sessions provide emotional support, teach coping skills, and uncover underlying causes of addiction, such as trauma or mental health challenges.
Mind-Body Practices: Yoga, Meditation, and Tai Chi
Mind-body techniques help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote emotional balance. Practices such as yoga, mindfulness meditation, and Tai Chi enhance focus, mood regulation, and overall mental clarity. These methods are especially effective for managing cravings and preventing relapse by grounding you in the present and reducing impulsive behaviors.
Creative & Experiential Therapies: Art, Music, and Movement
Expressive therapies open doors that traditional talk therapy sometimes can’t. We offer art therapy, music therapy, and dance/movement sessions to help you express emotions, process pain, and rediscover joy in sober living. These creative outlets build confidence, promote emotional healing, and offer new ways to explore your identity.
Nutrition & Fitness: Food, Exercise, and Vitamin Support
Addiction can deplete the body of essential nutrients and disrupt healthy eating patterns. Our nutrition support plans restore balance through healthy, whole-food meals and supplements when needed. Physical activity—whether structured fitness or recreational exercise—is woven into your routine to boost energy, regulate mood, and rebuild physical health.
Spiritual Growth: Inner Connection and Meaning
Spiritual wellness plays a vital role in holistic healing. Whether through guided reflection, mindfulness practices, or evidence-based models like Spiritual Self-Schema (3-S) and Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE), we support you in reconnecting with purpose, values, and inner peace—whatever spirituality means to you.
Why It Works: Benefits of Holistic Care
Holistic addiction treatment is more than a supportive add-on—it’s a powerful, whole-person approach that can create real, lasting change. At The Edge Treatment Center, we’ve seen how this model helps people not only recover from addiction but also rebuild healthier, fuller lives.
Treats Deeper Causes, Empowers Long-Term Skills
Addiction is often rooted in emotional pain, trauma, or mental health struggles. Holistic care extends beyond symptom management to identify and address the underlying causes. Through therapies such as mindfulness, counseling, creative expression, and movement-based practices, you can learn lifelong tools to regulate emotions, manage stress, and build inner resilience. These aren’t just coping mechanisms—they’re skills for sustainable change.
Reduces Relapse Risk Through Lifestyle Changes and Mind-Body Balance
Relapse is more likely when recovery focuses only on stopping substance use without addressing the surrounding lifestyle. Holistic treatment emphasizes healthier habits, including balanced nutrition, regular exercise, sleep hygiene, and spiritual self-care, all of which improve both your physical and emotional well-being. These changes create a stronger foundation for sobriety, helping reduce triggers, cravings, and emotional volatility.
Supports Mental Health Alongside Addiction Recovery
Many people in recovery also face anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other mental health concerns. Our holistic approach treats these conditions in tandem with substance use, ensuring you're not left vulnerable to the mental health issues that may have contributed to your addiction.
By integrating counseling, body-based therapies, and spiritual practices, we help you build stability, self-awareness, and mental clarity.

Personalized Plans at The Edge Treatment Center
At The Edge Treatment Center, recovery should never be a one-size-fits-all approach. Your experiences, challenges, and goals are unique—your treatment should be too. That’s why we design fully personalized plans that evolve with you throughout your recovery journey.
Comprehensive Intake and Individualized Approach
We begin with a detailed intake process that explores your substance use history, mental health, physical well-being, and personal circumstances. This helps us build a complete picture of your needs. From there, we create a treatment plan tailored to your specific goals—whether that means focusing on trauma therapy, co-occurring mental health disorders, family dynamics, or holistic healing techniques.
Tailored Modalities to Fit You
No two people recover the same way. Your personalized plan may include a variety of therapies and services such as:
Individual and group therapy
Nutritional counseling and fitness support
Mind-body practices like yoga or meditation
Creative therapies like art or music
Dual-diagnosis care if you’re facing mental health conditions alongside addiction
We regularly review your progress and adjust your treatment to keep it effective and responsive to your needs.
Ongoing Progress Checks
Your recovery is dynamic, and your treatment should reflect that. We conduct consistent check-ins and evaluations to measure what’s working, identify any challenges, and adjust your plan accordingly. These touchpoints ensure your treatment stays on track and aligned with your progress.
Transition to Aftercare and Continued Support
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. At The Edge Treatment Center, we prepare you for life after treatment with structured aftercare planning. This may include:
Outpatient therapy or step-down programs
Relapse prevention strategies
Peer support groups and sober living referrals
Ongoing connection to our alumni and recovery community
