Holistic therapy at Pacific Bay Recovery treats addiction as a whole-person condition — body, mind, spirit, and community. Our integrated holistic programming complements evidence-based clinical care with the practices that help you actually live a sober life, not just survive one.
If you are working your way through substance rehabilitation, you know that the most successful treatment strategies take a multipronged approach. Instead of just focusing on one aspect of recovery, you need to attack your addiction from different angles to heal and recover. Holistic therapy is yet another tool that can have a positive impact on addiction recovery.

Holistic therapy refers to the treatment of the whole person. That means the therapy treats your body and your mind. The goal of holistic therapy is to help patients tend to their physical and psychological needs.
Holistic therapy incorporates a variety of techniques to address both the physical and emotional needs. This can include a variety of alternative treatments, such as acupuncture, yoga, and meditation. Also, nutritional therapy is an important aspect of holistic therapy since your body needs adequate fuel to function as it should.
Holistic treatments have balancing and calming properties that make them ideal for substance recovery. Pacific Bay Recovery’s San Diego providers work to ground patients and address their various needs so they can overcome their drug/alcohol addiction. Our providers may use an assortment of holistic therapies to help patients during substance rehabilitation.
Nutritional therapy typically plays an important role in addiction recovery. Addiction is a contributing factor to malnourishment. When you regularly consume drugs or alcohol, your body cannot get the essential nutrients it needs to thrive. When you’re malnourished, you’re more likely to have headaches and feel tired all the time. Headaches and fatigue are also common during withdrawal. By addressing your nutritional issues, you’ll have the strength to go through withdrawal. Also, you will be healthier and stronger as you prepare for the next chapter of your life.
Exercise is another important aspect of holistic therapy. First, exercise provides structure. If your days are structured, it’s much easier to avoid the temptation of relapsing on drugs or alcohol. Exercise also provides a much-needed endorphin boost. When your body is full of feel-good chemicals, you’ll realize that you don’t need drugs and alcohol. Exercise also alleviates stress and makes you feel strong and powerful. That feeling of power is critical as you move through recovery.
You can also use meditation as part of your holistic therapy plan. When you’re going through recovery, your mind is often full of racing thoughts. It’s hard to focus, and you might want to turn to drugs and alcohol to numb those thoughts. Meditation teaches you to clear your mind and focus. Also, as you practice meditation, you will learn to live in the moment and sit with your thoughts. This is a powerful tool when going through recovery and will help you down the road, as well. Even when you have years of recovery behind you, you’ll want to continue practicing meditation.
Your provider might recommend acupuncture as part of your treatment plan, as well. Stimulating the right acupuncture points can alleviate stress, create a sense of well-being, and even help you manage the symptoms of withdrawal. Your provider can even use acupuncture to manage the nausea associated with withdrawal.
Each person is different, so you need a customized holistic therapy plan. Pacific Bay Recovery of San Diego creates personalized plans for each patient who comes through the doors. Your custom plan might include nutritional therapy, exercise, and acupuncture, or it could include all the holistic therapy options. Regardless of the plan, your therapy will be in a safe and controlled environment and administered by professionals who understand addiction recovery.
