Millions of people in the United States suffer from addiction. Although these people all share the same disease, they come from different backgrounds and have varying life experiences, physical and mental health factors, and unique treatment needs.
When it comes to substance use disorders, the term “holistic treatment” refers to an approach that considers a person’s physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. This type of treatment aims to help individuals overcome their addiction(s) with a whole-person approach that focuses on healing the body and the mind.
Sam didn’t fully commit to treatment until she was 66-years-old, but when she arrived at Nova, she was finally ready. Ultimately, with a willingness to be open to change, she was able to let go of all the grief, guilt, shame, and anger that she had held onto for so many years.
An outpatient addiction treatment program can provide flexible, discreet, and confidential rehab to help business executives maintain their careers and personal reputations.
At Nova, Emily worked closely with the treatment staff and her counselor, who helped her understand her struggle with codependency. In working with treatment professionals, she discovered that her addiction was more complex than she had imagined. For years, she had been trying to use alcohol to deal with clinical issues instead of addressing the root causes of those issues.
Justin says the most important thing for him was to remain humble and teachable. Even though he had been sober for years before going to Nova, he went into treatment acting like he knew nothing. He listened, was open to change, and did what he was asked to do, which has all paid off.
