Addiction and mental health challenges affect the mind, body, and spirit. Effective treatment helps clients to heal all of these aspects of the self. At PCP – The Perry Clayman Project, we believe that holistic therapies offer the opportunity for clients to have comprehensive and effectual treatment for prescription drug addiction, alcohol addiction, and mental health issues. Our holistic modalities focus on the client’s overall well-being. They also help them build skills for long-term resilience that improves recovery from addiction and mental health. We believe that treatment is a new beginning and aim to address every facet of our clients as they begin the process of change.
Holistic Therapies: Focus on Well-Being
Addiction treatment is generally focused on helping clients improve their lives. However, holistic therapies recognise the interconnection between the mind, body, and spirit. They focus on the well-being of the entire person. In addition, they help individuals discover and explore how to make authentic changes in themselves and their lives. At PCP – The Perry Clayman Project, we offer a variety of holistic therapies, including nutritional support, mindfulness and meditation, and alternative therapies.
Nutritional Support
Good nutrition is a staple for health. This is true for all individuals. However, for clients recovering from addiction, nutritional support is particularly important. This is due to the poor health and poor nutritional status that goes along with addiction and causes deteriorating physical and psychological health.
At PCP – The Perry Clayman Project, we provide well-balanced and nutritional options for clients. This helps them to begin to heal in treatment from the physical and psychological effects of addiction. However, our efforts go beyond treatment. We seek to educate clients on the value of good nutrition in recovery. This includes helping them to learn skills that will improve their nutrition in a manner that supports them in the future.
Mindfulness
The state of being mindful refers to being present in the moment. For clients in addiction treatment, this means learning to acknowledge their feelings, thoughts, and actions in the present. While mindfulness is simple in theory, it takes time and practice to achieve.
Mindfulness is very valuable for maintaining mental wellness in recovery and helping clients learn more about themselves and what they need in recovery. Through mindfulness, clients learn to move through challenging thoughts and emotions. They do so by recognising that they have more information to choose alternative coping methods in the future.
Meditation
It is common for individuals who have and struggle with addiction to have a significant amount of stress in their lives. Stress is a normal part of life for all. However, clients can learn how to manage and cope with stress in manners that are healthier and more helpful. Meditation is a practice that can help.
As a part of addiction treatment at PCP – The Perry Clayman Project, meditation helps clients in a variety of ways. It serves as a practice for self-discovery. However, it also provides a method for clients to learn to calm their minds, bodies, and spirits in times that are challenging to get through.
Alternative Holistic Therapies
At PCP – The Perry Clayman Project, we know that many types of alternative therapies are highly effective in helping clients heal as a whole person. The specific alternative therapies that are helpful vary for each client. However, approaches such as acupuncture, yoga, and art therapy are designed to complement our traditional approaches to addiction treatment. They provide an opportunity for clients to express themselves and work through the process of truly healing and building a new life.
Mind-Body Connection in Holistic Therapies
Every holistic therapy is unique in how it supports addiction treatment and health. However, holistic therapies are built on a foundational understanding of a mind-body connection. Simply put, a mind-body connection refers to the fact that the mind impacts the body, and the body has an effect on the mind.
For individuals in addiction treatment, this connection can be used as a method of reaching the mind and body. Through physical practices, clients heal mentally and emotionally. With mindfulness and internal practices, the body begins to relax and build resilience. Our understanding of this connection helps us tie these holistic therapies effectively with traditional therapies in an individualised and holistic treatment protocol.
Holistic Therapy in a Supportive Environment
At PCP – The Perry Clayman Project, we provide treatment for the mind, body, and spirit. Our treatment protocols help clients to live a happy and healthy life free from addiction. However, we understand that the environment we offer also plays a role in treatment. Therefore, we provide a supportive and non-judgemental environment.
Our supportive environment allows clients to explore holistic therapies alongside traditional therapies. They discover what their unique needs are along the way and how they can use these therapies to benefit them in the moment in treatment as well as to support their long-term recovery.
With a compassionate and empathetic team, clients are guided towards their future. Clients are active participants in their treatment. However, with a supportive environment and treatment team, combined with a unique blend of holistic therapies and traditional therapies, clients receive the assistance that they need to heal and find a path forward towards a life free from addiction.
Our holistic approach recognises the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, offering a comprehensive and personalised strategy for overcoming addiction.
