Alternative Treatment

Our Program Spotlight this month is Acupuncture Therapy! When recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, it is important to treat your entire body not just your addiction. One way that we do this here at Avalon Malibu is by using a holistic approach that includes acupuncture. Acupuncture therapy is a large part of our holistic approach to treatment as it helps to relieve symptoms of withdrawal and subsequently help prevent relapse.

Many drug and alcohol addictions are directly related to mental health disorders. Whether you suffer from depression, anxiety, or a mood disorder, meditation therapy along with other holistic treatment therapies can help you cope with these conditions without turning to drugs and alcohol.

One thing we have found from operating our California rehab is this - no two clients are exactly alike but all the clients we see can be described as emotionally broken in some way. The addiction can be termed a symptom of a greater issue that needs to be addressed for the people we treat, even though it is a chronic disease that must be treated as well.
