Therapies · Holistic & Mindfulness · Phoenixville · Philadelphia · Avondale
Reiki, soundbath sessions, guided mindfulness and breathwork are built into the weekly schedule at our Phoenixville, Center City Philadelphia and Avondale offices.
They sit alongside clinical care in PHP, IOP and virtual IOP — not instead of it. Therapy and medical care treat the disorder; these practices help you tolerate the body you are living in while you do that work.
Edith walks through the mindfulness, soundbath and bodywork sessions built into the weekly schedule at our Pennsylvania offices.
Early recovery is a physical experience: no sleep, a racing heart, a jaw that will not unclench, and a nervous system that reads a quiet room as a threat.
Mindfulness, breathwork and bodywork give clients something to do with that state other than use. Learning to sit through fifteen minutes of discomfort in a room is direct practice for sitting through a craving in a parking lot.
We are careful with claims. Mindfulness-based approaches have real research support in substance use and relapse prevention.[1] Reiki and soundbath are comfort and relaxation practices clients consistently ask for and find calming — we offer them on that basis, honestly.[2]
None of it replaces therapy, medication or medical care, and we will always say so.

Holistic sessions are scheduled into the program day, so nothing costs extra and nothing has to be arranged on your own.
Guided practice in urge surfing, body scans and staying present — the skills mindfulness-based relapse prevention is built on.
Gentle energy-work sessions offered for relaxation. Clients most often report better sleep and a calmer body afterward.
Group sessions using singing bowls and tones. Many clients who find seated meditation impossible can settle into this.
Simple, portable techniques for panic, anger and cravings that work in a car, a bathroom or a hard conversation.
Accessible movement for people who have not exercised in years, with our on-site gym available for those who want more.
Monthly sessions with a registered dietitian — appetite, blood sugar and sleep all shift dramatically in early recovery.

Mindfulness-based interventions have been studied specifically for substance use and relapse prevention, with encouraging findings for craving management and stress reactivity.[1]
Complementary approaches like Reiki and sound therapy have far less evidence for treating any disease — we present them as relaxation and comfort practices, which is what they are.[2]
Your clinical plan is still driven by individual therapy twice a week, small process groups, CBT, DBT, EMDR where indicated, and medical oversight.
If a practice is not helping you, skip it. Nothing here is mandatory or billed as treatment on its own.
