Ever wondered how alternative therapies can complement traditional addiction treatments? In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast with DocSnipes', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes dives into a range of holistic interventions that can enhance recovery efforts. Addiction is a complex biopsychosocial condition, and no single treatment fits all. Dr. Snipes discusses how therapies like acupuncture, acupressure, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and biofeedback can help rebalance neurotransmitters, ease withdrawal symptoms, and address mood issues that often accompany addiction. But that's not all.
She also covers the potential benefits and limitations of CBD oil, emphasizing the importance of integrating these therapies to tackle the myriad underlying issues that contribute to relapse risk.

Whether you're a counselor, coach, or someone personally affected by addiction, you'll find valuable insights here. Dr. Snipes aims to reduce stigma and increase awareness among medical professionals, encouraging a more holistic and integrated approach to addiction treatment.
