Holistic therapy takes a whole-body approach to treating addiction and mental health. Instead of focusing on the problem, it looks at every part of a person — their mind, body, and spirit — to help them heal completely.
This approach can work well with traditional medicine and help people struggling with addiction, depression, anxiety, or other mental health problems.
With many different types of holistic therapies like acupuncture, massage, and mindfulness, Summit at Harmony Oaks offers a well-rounded healing process. Read on to learn more.
