What is Holistic Medicine?

Holistic medicine is an approach to life and it focuses on the entire or whole person and being in harmony and balance with their environment. The emphasis of this practice is the connection of body, mind and spirit. At Transformations Treatment Center, we offer addicts and alcoholics a new approach to healing in which personal accountability is stressed, and you are taught how the choices you make are directly responsible for your health and life.

What is the history of holistic medicine?

The history of ancient healing remedies and traditions goes back thousands of years and finds its roots in Indian and China. However, the term "holistic" did not become an adjective used in the US, until about the mid-1970's. During the 20th century, holistic healing fell out of favor among Western society, and people felt they could make all the wrong lifestyle choices and medical science would "fix" them. However, because addiction is a chronic condition and not what would be classified as a "typical" disease, it makes more sense to treat it using holistic methods. At Transformations Treatment Center, we believe in holistic healing and the many benefits it imparts to addicts and alcoholics and we are proud to offer this type of treatment to our clients.

What are the basic principles of holistic medicine?

The guiding principles of holistic health state that your health is more than just not being ill or sick. Wellness is viewed as a continuum based across a line and it represents all varying degrees of your health, both physical and psychological. The distant left end of the line is representative of premature death and on the right is the highest level possible of maximum health and wellbeing, and we can help you achieve this goal. The middle of the line represents a lack of disease and this means all levels of illness are on the left half of the continuum. It is believed that all people can get healthier and there is unlimited room for improvement to be made constantly. Holistic medicine is an ongoing process and it requires a personal commitment on the part of the individual to keep improving, and this means that with help from our holistic healing program, you can expect total healing and recovery, no matter how severely addicted to drugs or alcohol you may be.
