But what I find is that this process of coming off it is very different for many different people. And I find that those are the people who are most successful in completely weaning off the opiates, I see.
Ever wondered if there's more to recovery than just medication? Mary Yost, a dance therapist and substance abuse counselor, believes so. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', she shares her unique method of blending body-mind practices with Suboxone treatment for opiate dependence. Mary combines movement, meditation, and spiritual exploration to help individuals reconnect with their bodies and emotions. This approach isn't just about kicking the habit; it's about rediscovering oneself and building a sustainable path to well-being.
Mary explains how opiates often dull our senses and disconnect us from our feelings, making recovery more challenging. By incorporating meditation and movement, she guides her clients to tune into their internal experiences and develop mindfulness. This heightened self-awareness is crucial for understanding addiction and fostering personal responsibility. Even those initially skeptical of spiritual methods often find themselves embracing these practices as they progress. Group support also plays a vital role in Mary's approach.
She emphasizes the importance of a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals can share their experiences and emotions. This community aspect helps build resilience and provides much-needed encouragement. Mary's philosophy is that recovery is a lifelong journey requiring ongoing practice and support. Her holistic method offers an alternative to traditional treatments, focusing on the whole person rather than just the addiction.
Tune in to this episode for a fresh perspective on opiate dependence recovery, and discover how integrating body-mind practices can make a difference.
