How Holistic Rehab Can Help with Mental Health and Dual Diagnosis Disorders
Holistic Rehab programs can benefit those struggling with mental health and any dual-diagnosis disorder where a person has a co-occurring substance use disorder.

The goal is for them to leave feeling healthier and more balanced while also developing healthy coping mechanisms for long-term recovery.
Our Holistic Modalities
Holistic modalities vary in order to address multiple aspects of a person’s health and well-being.
Not everyone responds to each modality. Therefore, we offer several types so that you find the right fit for you. In addition, this will help you create an individualized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs.
At North Atlanta Behavioral Health, we offer the following holistic modalities:
- Yoga: This holistic modality focuses on connecting the body, mind, and spirit through specific breathing techniques and physical postures to increase balance within the individual.
- Meditation: Sitting in stillness while focusing on calming thoughts or practices can help reduce stress levels, improve concentration, and bring a sense of peace to those struggling with mental health disorders.
- Nutrition Counseling: Addressing any nutritional deficiencies that may be exasperating one’s mental health can lead to healthier outcomes from treatment programs as nutrients are essential for chemicals balancing within the brain, allowing better mental health functioning overall.
- Art Therapy: Creative processes like drawing, painting, or sculpting allow individuals to express their feelings without relying heavily on words which can often be difficult when facing rehabilitation for mental health. Art therapy gives people a safe space to explore their emotions without judgment while coping healthily with their recovery journey.
- Physical Fitness & Education: Regular physical exercise helps to improve mental health symptoms by producing brain chemicals that enhance feelings of wellness. Our holistic treatment center incorporates various forms of fitness activities as a means to help individuals with their mental health recovery journey.

What's the Difference Between Holistic Therapy and Traditional Therapy?
The primary difference between holistic therapy and traditional therapy is in the way that they are practiced.
Traditional therapy includes psychiatric medications and talk therapy to improve mental health symptoms. These approaches are more direct. Psychiatry adjusts the chemical imbalances believed to cause mental health disorders while talk therapy helps clients improve their psychological processing, emotional regulation, and thought patterns.
But holistic therapy considers the whole-person in treatment. Therefore, holistic therapy improves psychical and spiritual wellness, which indirectly enhances mental health.
