Ancillary Services for Addiction 

Holistic Ancillary Services We Provide 

We recognize that substance use and co-occurring disorders are merely a symptom of a much more significant issue. Banyan Treatment Centers prides itself on offering individualized treatment services that focus on the complexity of this disease and offer solutions that foster sustained recovery.

Reiki Therapy

Commonly referred to as “energy healing,” this holistic treatment is known to reduce pain, enable relaxation, relieve emotional stress, and aid in the relief of other physical symptoms due to illness. Reiki benefits the participants by targeting energy fields around the body, helping the flow of energy and removing blocked energy, similar to acupuncture. This calming practice has risen in mainstream popularity over the past few years and is renowned for its uses as an ancillary service for people suffering from a variety of physical and mental illnesses aside from just addiction.

Massage & Acupuncture

Although scientific research surrounding the topic is still relatively scarce, utilizing acupuncture for addiction has been practiced since the 1970s, when a Chinese physician by the name of Dr. H. L. Wen found it to help relieve withdrawal symptoms experienced from opioid addiction. Offered at several of our locations, patients can take advantage of massage therapy and acupuncture during their treatment stay. Many Banyan patients have found these holistic therapies to be beneficial throughout their rehab experience, aiding in both withdrawal symptoms and emotional stress. 

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)

A scientifically proven efficacious treatment, EMDR therapy enables individuals to heal from traumatic events and/or emotional turmoil, which is the result of disturbing life experiences. Alongside PTSD and other trauma-based diagnoses, this practice has shown to be extremely beneficial for substance abuse and mental health patients. In this eight-phase treatment, EMDR therapists assist patients in activating their natural healing processes within the mind by utilizing a combination of protocols, therapeutic elements, and eye movements.

Music & Art Therapy

Both art and music therapy have been shown to assist in the treatment and recovery experience. Individuals who suffer from addiction can utilize these therapeutic approaches to express their emotions in a healthy way, where they have otherwise been unable to.

Our treatment team utilizes these modalities to continuously provide patients with every possible healing strategy. Art and music therapy have been proven to help reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, and foster creativity and motivation. We also hope that you can leave our facilities with a new hobby of two. 

Biofeedback

An innovative treatment approach, biofeedback, is now offered at every Banyan location nationwide. By inducing a meditative state through vibration, guided imagery, and music therapy, biofeedback addresses underlying issues of anxiety, depression, and trauma. This therapeutic modality has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, alleviate painful withdrawal symptoms, and overcome negative thoughts and feelings surrounding traumatic life events.

Yoga

Yoga plays an influential role in the recovery process, as it addresses addiction as a three-fold disease. Alongside the many physical health benefits, yoga brings balance to the individual’s life on a mental and spiritual level. Through the consistent practice of yoga, patients experience increased energy, improved cardio and respiratory health, increased physical strength, and mental clarity, decreased stress and anxiety, and improved coping skills.
