Holistic Addiction Treatment Boston MA

For many decades, the twelve-step protocol was the primary approach to treating substance abuse of all sorts.

Holistic addiction treatment, like other types of holistic health practices, is based on the belief that treating only one aspect of a person’s health is incomplete and counterproductive.
