Otherwise, any efforts from family members or friends to rehabilitate the person will only end up as a futile quest. Hence, the road to holistic recovery is for the person to accept treatment at his own will and not through force coercion. Once the alcohol and drugs are taken away, the holistic type of rehab will ensure the person understands how to positively deal with the outbreak of emotional upheaval during the treatment as well as induce alternative therapies such as acupuncture, tai-chi, yoga, and light-sound neurotherapy to work on regaining equilibrium for body, mind and spirit. With the holistic rehabilitation approach, the use of a variety of therapies will fully cover all the required treatments of the body, emotions, thoughts and spirit.

Hence, the various holistic treatments can still be utilized to sustain the patients long after they leave the rehabilitation center, to fully heal their emotional scars and let them move on with their lives with a clean slate.
