What Is Holistic Healing Treatment for Teens? 

Holistic treatment for addiction and mental health conditions aims to integrate physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual factors to help a teen heal and grow in all areas.

Addiction and mental health concerns are complex. They have an impact on many areas of well-being. The holistic approach to behavioral health treatment combines traditional and non-traditional modes of therapy to help a teen achieve healing in all areas of life.

A vital benefit of a holistic approach to treatment is that a teen receives support in areas that a traditional treatment program alone doesn’t address.

Is Teen Holistic Healing Right for My Teen?

Holistic healing treatment for teens can have a life-changing effect on the trajectory of a teen’s life. Unlike adults, teenagers are still developing in various ways. Teens are building independence and exploring identity while undergoing physical and emotional changes. It can be difficult for teens to cope with these challenges as well as addiction and mental health concerns.

Additionally, the teenage brain is still developing. A teen’s capacity for self-awareness, impulse control, and decision-making won’t fully mature for several more years. The state of a teen’s development can make traditional therapies, like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), challenging for teens to focus on and engage in fully.

However, the fact that a teen’s brain and sense of identity are still under construction means that when they take part in the kinds of flexible treatments used in holistic healing, they can create a strong foundation for lasting positive changes.

For instance, holistic healing therapy can have significant benefits in terms of how teens perceive themselves and interact with others.

What Happens in a Teen Holistic Healing Program?

Teen holistic healing treatment options vary by treatment center, but certain elements are the same in any program. Holistic healing offers individualized care, working to identify and create a plan to address the specific challenges a teen is facing.

A teen’s holistic healing treatment plan will include various traditional and experiential therapy options designed to facilitate growth and healing. In Foothills at Red Oak Recovery’s teen holistic healing program, teens participate in therapies that include:

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical behavior therapy  (DBT)
  • Individual therapy
  • Group therapy
  • Family therapy
  • Adventure therapy
  • Equine therapy
  • Nutritional therapy
  • Mindfulness training
  • Academic support
  • Mental health support

Most holistic healing programs were designed for adults. However, adults and teens are at very different places in life. If you’re considering teen holistic healing treatment options, you should look for a program designed specifically to address the unique challenges and issues faced by teenagers.
