When a woman suffers from an addiction to drugs or alcohol, it affects her mind, body, and soul. Many addiction treatment programs only address the physical effects of substance abuse, leaving many women at a loss for dealing with the damage to her mind and soul. However, with the help of a holistic treatment program, such as the one that we offer at Crossroads Maine, we can give each woman the tools she needs to heal.
At Crossroads Maine, we strive to help women overcome their mental health and substance use disorders. Holistic therapeutic options are only one component of our treatment programs. For more information about what your treatment could entail, please contact our treatment center today at 877.978.1667 or use our helpful online form.
About Crossroad Maine’s Holistic Therapy Program
At the Back Cove Women’s Residential program, we offer a range of holistic treatment options. Our facility is nestled in a lovely John Calvin Stevens home in a lovely Portland, Maine neighborhood. For many of the women we treat, this area is similar to their own homes, allowing them to feel comfortable while they get the treatment they need. We provide three distinct holistic options.
Equine Therapy
Our first holistic treatment is equine therapy. Research shows that many people receive an extraordinary level of emotional support from animals. Furthermore, horses and other animals can help our ladies navigate life’s emotional challenges. They can also significantly impact their ability to care for themselves and others throughout the treatment process. Equine therapy offers our ladies a range of benefits, including:
- Increased confidence levels
- Heightened emotional awareness
- Greater ability to build trust and empathy with other creatures
- Improved impulse control
- Better problem-solving skills
To determine whether you could benefit from equine therapy, please reach out to our team today at 877.978.1667.
Acupuncture Therapy
Another beneficial treatment option we provide is acupuncture therapy. Acupuncture is a traditional component of Chinese medicine that involves an expert inserting extremely thin needles into a person’s skin at strategic points of the body. Though most people think of this treatment as a pain relief tool, it can also help with stress management and mental health symptoms. The process is rarely uncomfortable and can help many women struggling with mental health conditions and addiction.
Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy is another component of our holistic therapy program. This treatment allows you to build strength, harmony, and awareness in your body. It also enables you to create and practice mindfulness, empowering you to center on the here and now. This treatment offers a range of benefits, including:
- Increased strength and muscle tone
- Better flexibility
- Weight loss
- Ability to maintain a healthy metabolism
- More energy and vitality
In addition to this treatment option’s physical benefits, yoga also helps our ladies manage their stress, which has distressing effects on the body and mind. Unfortunately, stress is also a critical component in relapse. However, unlike many treatment options, our residents are able to practice yoga outside of treatment. As a result, this practice is a valuable coping skill that allows you to have a more optimistic outlook on life.
