Alternative healing practices function on the principle that the body can naturally repair itself and that physical, social, spiritual and mental factors contribute to diseases. They also focus on disease prevention and incorporate ancient and more recent methods to address different conditions.

Types of Alternative Healing for Addiction
Alternative healing interventions for drug addiction fall under the following categories:
- Mind-body: These therapies focus on the mind-body connection to address substance misuse. They include meditation, yoga and Kai Chi Do.
- Energy: Qigong and other interventions in this category operate on the concept that energy flows throughout the body and must remain balanced for good health.
- Manipulative: These therapies involve manipulating the body to induce repair. For instance, massage therapy, which helps relieve pain and relax the mind, is a form of alternative healing.
- Biological: Biological interventions tap into the remedy abilities of herbs and plants to support addiction recovery.

- Yoga: Our instructors will guide you through different yoga practices like breathwork, poses and mantras to facilitate peace of mind.

- Meditation: This practice involves clearing the mind to achieve inner peace. Some of the different types of meditation are mindfulness, mantra, zen and body scanning.
