Holistic therapy is a crucial component of many effective addiction treatment plans. The term holistic therapy refers to supplemental therapy that addresses a client in their entirety. Whereas traditional treatment options tend to address physical, mental, or emotional well-being, holistic therapies take an integrated approach to recovery, simultaneously addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
At Spirit Mountain Recovery, we take a holistic approach to drug and alcohol addiction treatment. Our unique addiction treatment program in Utah takes the whole person into consideration. We tackle the root causes of addiction while providing clients with the tools they need to maintain long-term sobriety. Contact us to learn more about yoga therapy and meditation for addiction.
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NIH) defines meditation as “a variety of practices that focus on mind and body integration and are used to calm the mind and enhance overall well-being.” The most common types of meditation involve focusing on a particular sensation, “such as breathing, a sound, a visual image, or a mantra, which is a repeated word or phrase.” Additionally, meditation can include practicing mindfulness, which involves staying grounded in the present moment and experiencing thoughts and feelings as they arise — without judgment.
Meditation is an integral part of many holistically-based addiction treatment plans. Many benefits go hand-in-hand with meditation in the context of addiction recovery. Benefits include improved mind-body connection, emotional regulation, and relapse prevention. At Spirit Mountain Recovery, we focus on teaching our clients various meditative techniques. Once treatment concludes, clients are encouraged to employ these techniques anytime they feel triggered or emotionally heightened.
We offer meditation in Utah for individuals who are actively healing from the devastation of addiction. Types of meditation include:

Essentially, yoga therapy is applying yoga practices to alleviate physical and psychological symptoms, promote mind-body connection, and improve overall well-being. Spirit Mountain Recovery incorporates yoga therapy as part of our integrated addiction treatment program. Our clients have access to small yoga therapy groups, during which they receive one-on-one instruction as they move through a series of gentle asanas.
The International Association of Yoga Therapists states, “Yoga comprises a wide range of mind/body practices, from postural and breathing exercises to deep relaxation and meditation. Yoga therapy tailors these to the health needs of the individual. It helps to promote all-around positive health, as well as assisting particular medical conditions. The therapy is particularly appropriate for many chronic conditions that persist despite conventional medical treatment.”
There are many benefits of yoga therapy, especially in the context of addiction treatment. Benefits of yoga therapy in Utah include:

We believe in the importance of concurrently addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.

Finding holistic addiction treatment in Utah is a straightforward process with the correct information in place. First, it is essential to determine the most appropriate level of care. The right level of care depends on the severity of the addiction.
For example, those with moderate or severe addictive disorders benefit more from a multi-staged program of care, one that begins with medical detoxification, progresses to residential treatment, and concludes with outpatient treatment.
At Spirit Mountain Recovery, we offer the following levels of clinical care:
Furthermore, we offer a treatment program for our clients’ loved ones. We believe in taking a comprehensive approach to drug addiction recovery, ensuring our clients have the tools and skills to maintain sobriety for years.
Addiction recovery is not a one-size-fits-all process. For treatment to be truly effective, treatment plans must be custom-tailored to meet the unique clinical needs of each client. Spirit Mountain Recovery offers a range of holistic addiction treatment services and programs. As soon as a client is admitted to our holistic Utah drug and alcohol rehab, their clinical team begins developing a plan of action that best meets all of their needs.
In addition, at Spirit Mountain Recovery, we take a whole-person approach to recovery. We focus on restoring physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Clients have access to several distinct levels of care, allowing them the opportunity to move seamlessly through the treatment process. We offer detoxification, residential, and extended care programs for men. Additionally, we offer a co-ed day program, an intensive outpatient treatment program, and a family program.

Sumner Adams2025-03-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Spirit Mountain Recovery has brought joy and gratitude back into my life. I had been to seven treatment centers over the last twelve years prior to coming to SMR. It was explained to me before arriving that their style of programming is a little different than my experience in the past. It is not just a traditional 12-step program. They put in emphasis on experiential therapy that allows clients to get out in the beautiful Utah wilderness every week instead of sitting at the house day in and day out. This aspect of the program has allowed me to rediscover my passion for the outdoors and reignite the fire I had lost for hobbies such as hiking, snowboarding, pickle ball, going to the gym etc. They also give us the opportunity to meet and develop relationships with the local recovery community through going to meetings throughout the week. The staff made the experience for me during my four months I was there. Each staff member from the lowest level position all the up to the owner made themselves available at anytime when needed. It was clear that they all truly cared about each client and came always from a place of compassion and love. The staff to client relationships was unlike anything I’ve experience before in past treatment centers. Most of the staff are in recovery and majority of them are alumni of SMR, so being able to relate to them on a personal level came very easy. Honest recovery work requires a lot of vulnerability and the staff provides a very safe place for this to happen. They have been in the exact spot the clients are in during their recovery journeys so they fully understand the pain and sadness we feel in early sobriety. Lastly, SMR is not done with you when you leave the center. Between the monthly alumni meetings and calls from the staff to check-in, they really want to remain involved within our recovery journeys which allows those important relationships that were built to continue on. This is just another part of the program that separates them from others. There will always be a special place in my heart for Spirit Mountain. I am forever grateful to this program and the people I met as a result. If you or a loved one is struggling with substance abuse, I highly recommend Spirit Mountain. You will be shown love, acceptance and compassion and will have the opportunity to build a foundation of recovery that can bring a life of peace and serenity that we loose when we are stuck in the pit of substance abuse. I wish I had found Spirit Mountain back in 2013 but am so glad I found it when I did. It changed my life and continues to better my life each and everyday. D J2024-09-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It would be dramatic to say that Spirit Mountain Recovery saved my life, BUT they did provide the compass and leadership that lead me along the path to self discovery and healing I so desperately needed to actually begin living life. The staff are almost entirely in recovery themselves or have worked in that field for many years, and most of those in recovery (all but one FT staff member) went through Spirit Mountain. As such, they were not only qualified to light the way but have also lived the journey firsthand and so were able to easily see the pitfalls and challenges that inevitably present themselves and demonstrated daily how to navigate them effectively. All of the activities were ultimately based on learning to live a satisfying life of recovery--living with purpose and joy through connection, willing honesty, and discomfort (where growth happens) without the need for substances to alter what I am truly feeling and thinking in the moment. Being active is an important aspect of the experience at Spirit Mountain, and for me that was hugely beneficial because my additions sucked all of the pleasures of life from me, I no longer desired to do anything but feed the beast. I highly recommend considering Spirit Mountain Recovery if you desire to find out once again, or possibly for the first time, what life can and should be lived like. Sean Murnane2024-09-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing program. Amazing staff. Highly recommend for anyone who needs help with addiction. Kev D2024-09-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place to get sober. I came for recovery and stayed for the food. Amazing staff. Worth every penny to achieve sustained sobriety. Jared Pate2024-09-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great times. Sober. Good people. Food good. Shawn Toney2024-09-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t normally write reviews but on this occasion it was necessary. I want to say thank you to all the staff at S.M.R. For helping me with a life long struggle of addiction. I honestly thought I was a lost cause and that my life was set in stone with addiction. I was wrong in that thinking and with the help and guidance of the staff I can now say that my whole outlook on life has changed. They opened up my eyes into seeing what life is really about and how to deal with tough life decision in a healthy way instead of self sabotage. It doesn’t just stop after you leave the house either they remain in contact with me and are always willing to talk and help out with whatever you have going on in life. I consider some of them my closest friends to this day and will never forget what they have given me and my family. Jobey Shaver2024-05-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It is really hard to put into words what Spirit Mountain Recovery has done for me, and my family. I went to SMR a very broken and hopeless individual with no chance of happiness. It didn't take long to realize that the staff actually cared about me, which was hard to comprehend since I didn't care about myself. Although I had no understanding of the process and treatment they were providing I buckled down, did what was asked and embraced the uncomfortable. The results are amazing. I am the happiest I have ever been and my family is too! Thank you SMR for showing me how to get out of my own way. I am now the husband and father I always wanted to be. Nate Harper2024-04-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot share enough good words about SMR. At the darkest time of my life, I desperately seeked for a family that would help me in my healing journey. SMR embodies love, compassion, and a deep understanding of human life and suffering. The staff at SMR are beyond amazing, and the program is designed with the client in mind. If you’re not sober and want to be, SMR will help take you there, without a doubt Jaiden Snyder2024-04-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love the staff and the recovery program they provide! Beautiful area, great sober activities they take you out to do! Comfortable, cozy very accommodating. Big Thanks for all you guys do!
