We’re not healed unless we’re whole

Experiential & Holistic Options

Wellness isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a foundational principle of our treatment process. Addiction, mental health issues, and trauma can often lead to unhealthy lifestyle choices that cause harm and imbalance. The body is resilient and can bounce back from mistreatment — especially when you’re young — but by learning how to take care of your whole self (body, brain, and spirit), you’ll be better equipped to not just survive but thrive in the years ahead. Expressive arts, yoga, tai chi, psychodrama, and mindfulness all address different aspects of the individual, contributing to a healthier whole person.

Holistic Healing With the Meadows Model

Our holistic methodologies help ensure patients don’t just find short-term recovery but lasting physical, mental, spiritual, intellectual, and emotional health. Through the groundbreaking efforts of Meadows Senior Fellow Pia Mellody, Meadows Behavioral Healthcare has distinguished itself as a wellness pioneer in the holistic treatment of a variety of issues.

As patients learn to discern healthy choices from unhealthy ones, their self-esteem grows, helping them create appropriate boundaries in relationships, live in moderation, and realize their inherent value. Armed with an understanding of their self-worth, patients are empowered to see themselves and their shortcomings in a self-reflective light that helps them take responsibility for their decisions and ultimately achieve wellness.

The Meadows Model is built around five key issues:

Self-Esteem
Reality
Boundaries
Moderation
Dependency

A Whole Body Approach

We are proud of our dedication to using holistic methods and our reputation for incorporating ancient healing methods from around the world. Alternative exercises like tai chi and yoga reduce stress while mindfulness meditation is another ancient practice, this time involving attending to the present moment with non-judgmental acceptance. These holistic practices and ancient healing methods foster an open, curious approach to life’s challenges, providing a key component to the trauma and addiction recovery process.
