Holistic recovery considers the whole person in regard to the recovery journey and aims to bring the body, mind, and spirit back into alignment. This approach is an opportunity for participants to better attend to both their psychological and physical needs. With holistic approaches such as yoga, meditation, reiki, and acupuncture, participants may see improvements not only in their recovery but also in other parts of their daily life. Several of these techniques are also categorized as alternative or complementary treatments, some of which are based on practices that derive from cultural traditions. Examples of these include:

• Yoga and meditation
• Nutrition
• Acupuncture, specifically the 5-point protocol
• Reiki and other types of energy work
• Herbal medicines
