Recovery programs today address medical, psychosocial and spiritual roots of substance abuse problems, but few address all of them simultaneuosly.
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) attempts to deal with the psychosocial and spiritual roots of alcohol and substance abuse problems without dealing with the physical component.
Detoxification programs in hospitals and residential treatment facilities often include medical support structures and the spiritual AA model but lack the aftercare therapeutic community component. Studies have shown that the provision of an aftercare therapeutic community is critical to sustained recovery.
The Starseed Recovery Model will glean the best available practices for self-care, self-transformation, and self-discovery from the broad realms of yogic and allied disciplines in order to help a loving, compassionate matrix of communitythat will assist the recovering individual in connecting with spiritual nourishment. Yoga (and its allied disciplines of meditation and other spiritual practices) will serve the body in its detoxification process, while helping to establish and maintain mental and emotional equilibrium. |
