Holistic addiction treatment for drug & alcohol rehab

Unlike traditional addiction treatment, which often focuses narrowly on detox and behavioural change, holistic rehab integrates holistic therapies that treat the whole person — body, mind, emotions, relationships, and purpose. This comprehensive approach to recovery addresses the root causes of addiction, not just the symptoms, helping people build a more sustainable and fulfilling life. At The Hader Clinic, our rehab treatment includes therapy, movement, mindfulness, family support, and creative expression, all working together to support long-term transformation.

Yes — all of our addiction treatment programs follow a holistic approach to addiction recovery. Whether you're beginning with detox and rehab in one of our licensed facilities or continuing into transitional care, each stage incorporates holistic practices that support physical, emotional, and psychological healing. Our programs are built to be inclusive, trauma-informed, and person-centred, ensuring that every client receives the flexibility and depth of care they need.

It’s both — and that’s what makes it effective. Our holistic addiction treatment programs are grounded in evidence-based practice and supported by complementary and alternative therapies that promote healing across multiple dimensions:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and dual diagnosis support
• Medication-assisted detox and psychiatric review
• Equine therapy, mindfulness, journaling, and art-based expression

Trauma-informed care is a crucial component of holistic recovery. We understand that many people struggling with addiction have lived through experiences that affect how they feel, relate, and heal. That’s why our treatment centre uses trauma-sensitive environments, language, and therapeutic boundaries to ensure emotional safety and respect. Our team is trained in holistic techniques that prioritise trust, empowerment, and choice — essential elements of a meaningful approach to recovery.

That’s completely okay. Our holistic therapy focuses on your individual needs, and that includes your comfort with spirituality. For some clients, spirituality means exploring identity or values; for others, it’s about mindfulness, self-awareness, or simply having space to reflect. We offer holistic methods that invite meaning-making on your terms, without ever requiring belief or participation in anything that doesn’t feel right to you.

They’re part of the core program. Holistic treatment emphasises consistency, and our daily structure reflects that. While clients are never forced into any single modality, therapies like movement, meditation, art, and group sessions are integrated throughout the week as part of our holistic and conventional care model. These types of holistic support help maintain balance, reduce stress, and improve emotional regulation. These are all key in overcoming addiction and mental health challenges.

Holistic treatment approaches give clients a wider range of tools to manage life after rehab. Instead of only treating substance use disorder itself, our approach also strengthens emotional regulation, relationship repair, self-esteem, and purpose, all of which are often left unaddressed in traditional treatment methods. By including both holistic and conventional support systems to improve overall well-being, clients feel more prepared to navigate life outside treatment and stay connected to their recovery.

A day in one of our holistic treatment centres blends structure with flexibility. Mornings might include guided meditation or movement therapy, followed by group counselling and shared meals. Midday could include journaling, creative therapies, or individual sessions. The afternoon may bring equine therapy or relapse prevention workshops, while evenings often focus on peer support and quiet time. These components of holistic care are designed to foster emotional safety, connection, and daily rhythm.
