If you have received a dual diagnosis for both a substance use disorder as well as a co-occurring medical or mental health disorder - or even a behavioral health disorder or an intellectual or developmental disability - you might want to consider the option of whole health recovery.

Also known as integrated treatment or dual diagnosis treatment, this type of recovery program is designed to help you manage your mental health disorder as well as ensure that you are able to overcome your substance abuse and addiction problems.

The important thing to keep in mind is that untreated and unmanaged addiction and psychiatric disorders will leave room for connections with your spiritual values. For instance, if you have been struggling with both alcohol dependence and addiction as well as major depression, you may experience feelings of worthlessness, helplessness, and a general lack of joy in your life.

The spiritual emptiness that arises in the process could also increase your chances of harming yourself or even committing suicide. Additionally, you may suffer from worsening mental health and emotional symptoms. Over time, this could contribute to higher rates of drug abuse and alcohol consumption as you attempt to fill the void that has been created.

To this end, the goal of whole health recovery is to ensure that you are able to attain the highest levels of success in your addiction treatment while also taking care to overcome all the mental health and other co-occurring disorders that you have also been diagnosed with.

About Whole Health Recovery

While seeking help for a substance use disorder from a center that uses the whole health recovery approach to treatment, you can expect to focus on the health and wellness of various aspects of your life - including your physical, psychological, and overall health. In particular, your physical wellness and health will include:

Achieving fitness

Avoiding the abuse of various intoxicating substances

Carrying out certain tasks on a daily basis

Developing relaxing skills

Ensuring you have proper body fat

Getting sleep and rest

Maintaining nutrition

Practicing positive lifestyle habits

On the other hand, emotional and mental health and psychological wellness will include:

Accepting your personal limitations

Learning as well as using information effectively and correctly for personal, professional, family, and career development

Learning to deal with all new challenges that you encounter in more effective ways

Managing stress

Recognizing, accepting, and eventually expressing your thoughts, feelings, and emotions appropriately

Striving for balance in play, rest, and work

Striving for continued development and growth

Structuring your time

In the areas of the environment, culture, and your social life, wellness will encompass the following factors:

Developing as well as maintaining intimacy with your significant others

Developing tolerance and respect for those who have different beliefs and opinions

Successfully interacting with people as well as with the environment around you

On the other hand, your spiritual health will be interwoven with your emotional, mental, and physical wellness. As such, you can expect it to encompass:

Believing in a higher power, religion, science, nature, or some other force that serves as the uniting factor for all humanity while also providing purpose and meaning to life

Living and defining your personal ethics, values, and morals

Introducing Holistic Treatment

The concept of whole health recovery has led to the creation of holistic addiction treatment programs. Today, there has been an increase in the number of recovery facilities that adopt various holistic concepts in the treatment of substance abuse and addiction and other co-occurring mental health disorders.

The goal of these treatment programs is to provide services that are designed to address the spirit, body, and mind of the individual struggling with addiction. In such a program, your addictive symptoms will not disappear overnight. Instead, you will be required to work on improving various areas of your personal self as well as your life.

To this end, a holistic addiction treatment program will teach you that it is never enough to just quit drugs or alcohol. You also need to heal while also taking care of yourself at every phase in your life.

Most of these programs will also fuse traditional therapy and counseling concepts along with many other recovery options. These include but are not limited to music therapy, animal therapy, art therapy, exercise programs, nutritional therapy, acupuncture, and meditation - among many others.

Some of the most common forms of alternative therapies - as holistic addiction treatment is also known - include but are not limited to:

Adventure Therapy (AT)

Art Therapy

Biofeedback

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

Equine Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Therapies

Neurofeedback

Psychodrama

Yoga

Benefits of Holistic Treatment

There are several benefits that you stand to gain by choosing holistic addiction treatment. For starters, the alternative recovery methods have been proved to be effective at promoting overall mental health and wellness. It can also improve the factors that will most likely lead to higher success in terms of relapse prevention and treatment programs.

Additionally, this type of treatment can ensure that you have a more comprehensive and all-encompassing approach to long term recovery. This is in the sense that it will address your whole person - on the spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental levels.

When you ensure that none of these areas are ignored, you might be able to increase your overall chances of attaining success in the long term as well as reducing your risk of ultimate relapse.

You might also find that traditional treatment methods are intimidating. To this end, combining them with holistic addiction treatment could ensure that your recovery approach feels much more accessible than it initially was. Additionally, the experiential approaches used could uncover other issues underlying your addiction and mental illness - which might not have been revealed through talk therapy.

Getting Help

The important thing to keep in mind is that whole health recovery as supported by holistic addiction treatment could prove to be intrinsically useful to your long term sobriety while ensuring that you manage any other physical, psychological, or social disorders that you have also been struggling with alongside your substance abuse.

The National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) is a coalition of police unions and associations from across the United States and was organized for the purpose of advancing the interests of America's law enforcement officers through legislative advocacy, political action and education.

Founded in 1978, NAPO is the strongest unified voice supporting law enforcement officers in the United States. NAPO represents more than 1,000 police units and associations, and more than 241,000 sworn law enforcement officers who share a common dedication to vigorous and effective representation on behalf of our nation's law enforcement officers.

Today, U.S. Capitol Police Officer William "Billy" Evans was tragically killed in an attack at the U.S. Capitol while performing duties he swore to uphold. Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones of Officer Evans and to the second officer who was injured in the attack, as well as their colleagues of the U.S. Capitol Police Department.

This is in response to the statements made a few years ago by the person who is now the Deputy Spokesperson for the U.S. State Department. It is gravely concerning that a high-ranking official at the State Department views American police officers as a greater threat than ISIS.

Statement from NAPO President Mick McHale on Criticism of Police Response to the Riot at the United States Capitol

NAPO was a part of securing the Presidential pardon for Prince George's County, Maryland Police Officer Stephanie Mohr

Please see the below a letter from from NAPO to Dr. Cheryl Champ from the Pelham Union Free School District. The grandchildren and other supporters of a slain NYC Transit Detective, George Caccavale, have been banned from wearing a sweatshirt honoring the memory of their grandfather to school because the chairperson of the school district found it "threatening. The sweatshirts have a "thin blue line" police flag on them.

In response to examination-security breaches and theft of examination content, the BACB will no longer offer remote testing for the RBT examination beginning September 1, 2023. As of that date, candidates must take the examination in person at an authorized testing center.

The Registered Behavior Technician ® (RBT ®) is a paraprofessional certification in behavior analysis. RBTs assist in delivering behavior-analytic services and practice under the direction and close supervision of an RBT Supervisor and/or an RBT Requirements Coordinator, who is responsible for all work an RBT performs. Additional resources can be found in your BACB account. If you have additional questions, please visit the Contact Us web page.

The RBT Handbook describes the requirements for obtaining and maintaining RBT certification.
Updated: September 29, 2023

The RBT Ethics Code (2.0) outlines the ethics standards to which RBT certificants and applicants must adhere.
