Holistic Recovery
Holistic recovery considers the whole person in regards to the recovery journey. Holistic recovery aims to bring the body, mind and spirit back into alignment.

Several of these techniques are also categorized as alternative or complementary treatments, some of which are based on practices that derive from cultural traditions.
