Abstract
Recently many holistic treatment processes have begun to be applied in the treatment of substance abusers. These alternatives to the more conventional verbal/medicinal methods include herbs, acupuncture, nutritional therapy, megavitamins, bodywork, yoga, biofeedback, and a variety of other innovative methods. These approaches expose the user/addict and alcoholic to alternative approaches which emphasize the “whole person” rather than specific symptoms or substances abused.
