Tao Holistic Rehabs therapies include:
Yoga Therapy
An
addiction is a symptom of imbalance within the individual. Yoga therapy
is an effective addiction treatment in that it integrates the body,
mind and spirit to restore and rebalance the practitioner.A yoga session will require you to remain still, focus on your breathing and feel all parts of your body. It will instill alertness and relaxation, which further allows you to respond with a clear mind, rather than direct impulsiveness. Practice on the mat will teach you how to see choices clearly, reduce cravings, release negativity and break unhealthy patterns. Yoga therapy for addictions will also cultivate inner strength, confidence and discipline which replaces, often common, feelings of helplessness, inner void and low self esteem. Through our modified yoga therapy, we will help you to discover who you are, determine where you want to go and how you will get there without the need for harmful substances.
Tai Chi
When
a person has an addiction, they often struggle with the ability to
manage stress, anxiety and emotions. As the addiction progresses, this
struggle becomes more difficult which often coincides with an increase
in using. Tai Chi has been used as a healing method in China for over 800 years. Through utilizing structured poses in a specific manner, Tai Chi helps to calm nerves, release tension and rebalance the body and mind. During our Tai Chi sessions, you will move in a slow, dance-like, rhythm while focusing on your breath and motion of your body. It will help to diminish any physical withdrawal symptoms and aid in the restoration of healthy sleeping patterns. The Tai Chi therapy at Tao Holistic Rehab is adjusted to meet any requirements which a client may have. It is suitable for new and experienced practitioners and the benefits can be felt immediately.
Qigong
An
addiction to drugs or alcohol affects an individual’s physical, mental
and emotional health. Upon cessation of substances, addicts often have
toxins within the body which are leftover from using; these can lead to
lethargy, weakness and depression. Qigong, or ‘Energy Work’, is a traditional Chinese practice involving slow movements which are each held for a specific amount of time. Practicing this ancient movement will help to re-balance all aspects of your health, while instilling a sense of harmony and peace. Much like a detox cleanse, Qigong will help to release and eliminate leftover toxins and diminish any ill-like feelings. After a relaxing Qigong therapy session, you’ll feel rejuvenated and calm; exactly what is needed to maintain sobriety.
Chinese Medicine
If
the body and mind is out of balance, the person will not be able live a
life of long term recovery. Eventually he or she will return to
unhealthy habits as a means of escape.Chinese Medicine’s ultimate goal is to restore balance and create lasting harmony by re-energizing a person’s ‘Chi’. In the west, chi is referred to as ‘energy’; however, it is actually energy, information and consciousness. Although difficult to understand, these feelings are what addicts often long for and are a reason for using- to feel their own chi.
Through Chinese Medicine, as well as, Tai Chi and Qigong, we help you to maintain this energy, but with healthier practices. Moxibustion and acupuncture therapy will be incorporated to stimulate specific acupuncture points through the burning of herbal cigars and the insertion of thin needles into the skin. Rest assured, there is no pain involved. Both therapies will help to eliminate cravings, withdrawal symptoms and sleeping disorders. They will also relieve any blocked chi, allowing it to flow freely and therefore, restore balance within the mind and body.
Breathing Exercises
Through
years of research, scientists have discovered that people display a
variety of breathing patterns depending on how he or she feels. If they
are stressed, they breathe shallow; if they are happy, they breathe
deep.Vital to the recovery process is the practice of breathing or meditation. At Tao Holistic Rehab, we will teach you specific patterns which we have developed specifically for people with addictions, emotional traumas or mental disorders. These breathing techniques can be used as a coping mechanism throughout your entire life, as well as, aid in relapse prevention. By changing your breathing patterns, you will notice an increase in energy, improved concentration and a decrease in stress.
Massage
People
in the early stages of recovery often experience an uncomfortable gap
between their body and mind. Therapeutic massage helps to bridge this
gap, and is a powerful compliment to holistic rehabilitation treatment. A massage aids in withdrawal, detoxification and abstinence. The physical, emotional and mental wellbeing are all directly benefited by the healing power of therapeutic touch. The direct contact will help you, or your loved one, to feel nurtured, secured and loved. Blood circulation, stress, tensions, anger and chronic pain is greatly reduced and the overall sense of happiness will be felt. Our rehab center offers a variety of massages to choose from including, Thai, Swedish, acupressure or reflexology.
Chiropractic Treatment
Muscle
tension, as well as, long term neck and back pain are common ailments
in addicts, both in recovery and during the time of using. Due to the
uncomfortable pain, it can cause a person to feel upset or anxious and
even lead to cravings and a relapse. Chiropractic adjustments will help to reduce chronic stress, pain and tension through spinal manipulation. This holistic treatment will also free neuron pathways, correct poor posture, skeletal misalignment and any poor breathing patterns which are affiliated with the aforementioned. With this therapy, you will notice in an improvement in your mood, behavior and any pain which you have been experiencing.
Equine Therapy
Persons
with an addiction, guilt, grief, anger depression or any other
emotional issue often have experienced rejection, lack personal
identity, feel unloved, fear inadequacy or desire support and
compassion. Equine therapy is a creative and innovative addiction treatment which addresses a wide range of personal problems. By taking this therapeutic experience outside of the rehab facility and into nature, the therapist and addict can begin to gain insight into feelings, behaviors, boundaries and motivations. Equine therapy will help you, or your loved one, to learn about yourself, recognize behavior patterns and define healthy relationships. Equine therapy will be facilitated by a certified equine therapist and a trained addiction therapist. The process starts by establishing a relationship with a horse on the ground and then evolves into the nurturing of that relationship, which may or may not include the actual riding of the horse. It’s an overall very effective holistic therapy which focuses on healing the whole person.
Cell & Mood Rejuvenation Therapy
A
large percentage of people with addictions have vitamin and mineral
deficiencies, as well as, weight problems, mood irregularities and
sleeping disorders. All of these can be associated not only with the
substance abuse, but also with poor dietary habits. Tao Holistic Rehabt seeks to reverse these problems, along with any organ, tissue or cell damage and illness, through our Cell & Mood Rejuvenation Therapy. This innovative addiction treatment makes use of amino acids, vitamins and natural herbal supplements and will help to regulate your mood, reverse feelings of depression or stress and restore the body’s ability to produce serotonin and dopamine. Our supplements are often used in native Central and South American healing methods; however, we also incorporate spices and herbs used in ancient Indian Ayurvedic medicine. Commended by addiction specialists, this therapy has no risk of dependency and will help the health you, or your loved one, to be restored.
Nutrition Awareness
Unhealthy
eating, during abuse and in recovery, can lead to unbalanced blood
sugar levels, severe cravings, irritability and poor digestion; all of
which can lead to an eventual relapse. Unfortunately, nutrition is not an aspect to many traditional recovery programs; however, the physical way you feel is linked to your mental state and vice versa. Therefore, it’s crucial to long term sobriety that you maintain a healthy well balanced diet; thus promoting balance between the physical and mental well being. All of our gourmet meals have been specially prepared to ensure optimal nutritional value which promotes the physical and mental needs of your body while stabilizing blood sugar levels.
Art & Music Therapy
Sometimes
it’s incredibly difficult for an addict in recovery to open up to a
therapist, no matter how safe and secure the environment is. This only
further represses feelings and emotions which is not conducive to
recovery. Art and music therapy is a creative expression which
encourages introspection and communication via art and music.This treatment will provide you with immense opportunities to express yourself in a non verbal way, while identifying and addressing issues which have been previously difficult to discuss. Art and music therapy has been extremely effective in helping clients who have suffered from traumatic experiences, abuse and PTSD.
Adventure Therapy
For
those who spent most of their days acquiring and using drugs, or those
who responded to stress, depression and anxiety by isolation or self
harm, discovering new healthy pursuits can be a key element in promoting
long term sobriety. Adventure therapy is a unique form of experiential psychotherapy which involves the real life exploration of a variety of activities outside of the rehab center. During the week, you will be taken to local hot springs in Panama, to do some self exploration while enjoying the outdoors. Every Sunday, we will take all our clients out for a special day trip to a designated location. Some of these include, snorkeling, jungle trekking, island hopping, whale watching, white water rafting or horseback rising. Adventure therapy will help you to discover new productive ways to fill leisure time, process stressors and relieve any daily life pressures.
Psychotherapy and Addiction Counseling
Group Therapy
Group therapy is a small gathering of individuals receiving treatment at our facility who come together in an environment comprised of safety and trust for the purpose of discussing the issues which they struggle with, express their thoughts and emotions, receive support and share valuable advice.Each group therapy session will be completely different, with no set agenda or imposed structure. The members, along with the therapist, will determine the direction for which to lead the group in. These sessions are a viable time for you to develop trust, identify and express emotions, learn communication skills, receive feedback and provide support to other members.
One-on-One Therapy
One-on-one therapy is an essential component to any residential treatment program and takes place between you and your therapist. It allows for maximum privacy and confidentiality so that you are able to discuss anything you wish without being judged.Every client’s one-on-one therapy session is different; this is because no two clients have the same history, strengths, weaknesses and needs. However, all therapy sessions will include various objectives to be established and then began to be reached.
Addiction Counseling
Addiction counseling will work to determine the reasons and triggers which led you to use drugs or alcohol. After discovering these issues, you and your counselor will work to find healthy solutions to overcome them. We’ll also incorporate behavior analysis techniques and relapse prevention strategies which will allow the counselors to provide you with tools, techniques and advice which you can use once back home.12 Step Meetings

Healing the body and mind through nutrition
How we feel on the outside, reflects how we feel on the inside. Oftentimes, those who do not provide their body with an adequate amount of nutrients will experience a number of physical and emotional symptoms including malnourishment, weight problems, digestive disorders, illness, stress, anxiety, depression and low self esteem. Those with an addiction to drugs or alcohol often experience these symptoms, as well as, lack the ability to produce chemicals, like dopamine and serotonin, which allow us to feel happy.Part of our holistic approach to treating drug and alcohol addictions is by showing our clients how to maintain a healthy well balanced diet. Proper nutrition will help to relieve any malnourishment, repair damaged organs, promote new cell growth within the body and improve the overall wellbeing of the individual.
Cell and Mood Rejuvenation Therapy

drug and alcohol rehab is our approach to the 12 Step model. Rather than labeling our rehab as a ’12 Step’ or ‘Non 12 Step’ facility, we have decided to offer this treatment as an option; therefore, we stay true to our individual approach to treating addictions. Clients who choose to incorporate the 12 Steps into their program will be taken to offsite group meetings to openly discuss their struggles while giving support and taking advice.Our team has created a binary model called ‘Walking the Steps’. This is a hands on therapeutic approach which helps clients to walk each step in a practical manner while confronting problems and working out denials. This model has been modified to allow people of all religions, spiritualities, ethnicities, genders and backgrounds to redeem the benefits. Through our experience, we have found ‘Walking the Steps’ to be utilized, and enjoyed, by clients who do not choose to participate in the meetings. Should you not wish to participate in the 12 Steps, we will provide you with alternative therapies to engage in.

This is a time which helps you, and your loved ones, discuss and work through any issues, establish better communication skills and begin to repair the overall relationship. Our therapist will also determine whether or not co-dependency or enabling is a problem; if so, we will offer healthy solutions to break these unhealthy cycles.Our therapist will also talk with family members about addiction and behaviors of their loved one.
