Drug Rehab uses Yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong and several other therapeutic
disciplines to combat drug addiction and alcoholism to build long
lasting recoveries. Mountainside Drug Rehab in CT maintains an
aggressive approach to innovative and compassionate addiction
treatment.
Long
time advocate of alternative substance abuse treatment methods,
Mountainside Drug Rehab has found that the use of Qigong and Yoga
to be highly effective tools at combating addiction and building
recoveries. Research studies have shown that extensive drug use
clogs the body with toxic debris. TCH, for instance, can lodge
in the tissues for years. Qigong’s active stimulation of
the lymph system speeds up the detox process, helping to remove
impurities from the bloodstream. “Dirty” blood is
uncomfortable and often translates into “dirty thinking”
which in turn can lead to relapse. Mountainside Treatment Center
is always on the cutting edge of treatment methods.
Addiction to drugs diminishes our ability to manage stress and
tension. For many months, if not years, after stopping drug use,
the internal chemistry remains in turmoil, creating all kinds
of dangerous cravings and instabilities. Mountainsides Group-therapeutic
activities are invaluable as a partial remedy for these ups and
downs. But Mountainsides qigong program can help speed the process
of mastering our relaxation response. Qigong’s breathing
style, hand movements and postures actively induce a long-lasting
relaxation response and a sense of well-being. If you own your
own private toolkit for “switching on” feelings of
contentment and internal—almost at will—you are less
likely to become victimized by your chemical imbalances. From
the moment you arrive at Mountainside, you are immersed in a friendly
warm environment where you begin to build up your tool kit for
staying clean and sober upon leaving.
Mountainsides spiritually-oriented approaches to drug-addiction
emphasize the supreme importance of cultivating the skill of “letting
go” in our lives. Qigong, in its more meditative forms,
is a superb vehicle for training this skill experientially. Emotionally,
qigong encourages us to accept and appreciate every emotion as
valid and necessary—even fear and anger. By accepting our
emotions more readily, we release from them the more easily (attachment
and addiction are very close relatives.) Mountainsides qigong
program has been very successful and praised by residents. One
resident stated that it was a much better feeling than anything
she could have achieved chemically.
Mountainsides practice of yoga and naturopathy helps reduce the
incidence of relapse after treatment of drug addiction. In a study
conducted by the Central Council for Research in Yoga and Naturopathy
(CCYRN), the non-meditative approach of yoga and naturopathy in
treatment of drug addicts is more effective in detoxification
as compared to the allopathic treatment. This is why Mountainside
Addiction Treatment Center has incorporated yoga in to its treatment
regimen.
Yoga, as well as other alternative therapies, such as meditation
are all offered at Mountainside Treatment Center for alcoholism
and drug addiction. Yoga has been practiced for the purpose of
ending drug abuse with fair results. Many people ask how Yoga
helps people quit abusing drugs. The Yogic method for ending substance
abuse is very simple. Yoga gives the mind a useful daily purpose,
which re-programs the practitioner. And this is why Mountainside
has taken on these methods. They simply agree with our healing
of the mind, body and spirit.
Drugs fill a void in the mind and body. Even though we disagree
with drug abuse, it must be noted that drugs either stimulate
or dull the senses. This is one of the main reasons, why someone
would try drugs in the first place. Mountainsides group and individual
therapies help the individual identify these voids and find other
healthy ways to fill them.
Whether it is physical or mental, drug addiction is a result of
habit. This habit had to be formed because the addict found the
experience pleasurable. Many drug addicts feel they have nothing
to live for, and they are not thinking about living for longevity.
Mountainside has an educational component like no other in the
industry. This innovative treatment program teaches the suffering
addict or alcoholic to learn to be “OK” with themselves.
In terms of holistic health, drug addiction is the exact opposite
of all forms of Yoga. Along with the other components of Mountainsides
treatment modality We offer the substance abusing individual a
fair chance at living a clean and sober life.
Yoga is a discipline based upon developing, and maintaining, optimum
health. Serious Yoga practitioners tend to eliminate substances,
which can be abused, because they do not need them.
