Biosound Therapy
Biosound Therapy is the integration of Biofeedback, Therapeutic Music, sound healing massage, and guided imagery. The guided imagery selections on the Biofeedback Bed are designed to address the guilt, fear, shame and trauma associated as underlying issues for most dealing with addiction. These moving meditations begin with a journey to a completely relaxed state of mind. Then, utilizing a unique echo effect, powerful and positive affirmations are delivered. This combination helps the client overcome those deep rooted, negative patterns of thought and behavior.
- Relieves pain & stress
- Assists with Detoxification Treatment
- Lowers cravings, impulse behavior and racing thoughts
- Lowers anxiety & depression
Equine Psychotherapy
Equine-Assisted Therapy is used to treat patients challenged with everything from drug and alcohol abuse dependency and post-traumatic stress syndrome. The therapy takes advantage of the mental and physical exercise that working with a horse can provide. Equine therapy:
- Helps clients learn to identify and cope with feelings
- Promotes Effective Communication Skills
- Helps Addicts Better Manage Behavior
- Teaches How to Set Boundaries
- Restores Self-Esteem and Self-Worth
*This is an optional, additional therapeutic therapy available after clinical treatment hours.
Massage Therapy
Clients at Relevance receive weekly massage therapy from our Licensed Therapists. Some additional benefits include:
- Release of ‘feel-good’ hormones. According to the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), massage helps to increase serotonin and dopamine (feel-good hormones) and decrease cortisol which is related to stress.
- Reduce agitation and anxiety and ease sleep problems.
- Provides a natural, alternative method of healing, free of drugs.
- Helps with the removal of metabolic waste. Therapeutic massage triggers or stimulates the body’s parasympathetic nervous system. This in turn can increase circulation and promote the effectiveness of the lymph system. The lymph system helps to alleviate pain symptoms and is responsible for removing the body’s metabolic waste build-up.
- Provides the client with a connection to their body, and improves or increases body awareness.
