1Research holistic physical detox therapies. You may not be comfortable with some concepts and treatments, so find out as much as you can before you sign up for any program. Physical detoxification methods may include:
Organic diets (vegetarian or vegan)
Liquid diets (such as juicing)
Acupuncture
Exercise (including yoga, tai chi and Qi gong)
Massage therapy (including Rolfing, a deep tissue massage technique)
Homeopathy
Chiropractic
Colon cleansing
2Learn about holistic spiritual therapies. Investigate the approach that will be used and make sure you are comfortable with the methods the rehabilitation center uses and that the spiritual therapies are compatible with your own belief system. A spiritual approach is not a religious approach, but spiritualism incorporates aspects of many established religions. Virtually all spiritual healing techniques involve some form of meditative practice. You might also be expected to attend ceremonies that include unfamiliar rituals, such as meditation and chanting.
3Get familiar with energy work. Holistic rehabilitation centers often offer a variety of energy healing modalities, such as Reiki and foot reflexology. Energy healing presupposes that the body has energy fields and pathways, and that working on these areas helps speed the detoxification and healing process.
4Inquire about staff credentials. Ideally, every staff member will hold a master’s degree or higher in their particular discipline. Ask for references for every practitioner and check them out. Legitimate practitioners are more than happy to provide all the details of their professional profiles.
5Be prepared to accept the minimum recommended stay. Holistic rehabilitation is not a quick fix; a holistic institution may recommend a longer stay than a conventional rehab center.
