Treating the whole person

Evidence-Based and Holistic Therapies

Our philosophy

Our Whole-Person Philosophy

Most programs offer a holistic session now and then. We offer it every day, woven right into the clinical work. That is because we believe recovery sticks when you treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis. On one side, evidence-based therapies give you proven tools to change thoughts and behaviors. On the other, holistic practices help you reconnect with your body, calm your nervous system, and find moments of peace.

Leading research supports treating the whole person rather than the substance use alone. Neither side competes with the other; together they cover more ground than either could alone. This is the heart of how New Wave works.

Proven clinical care

Evidence-Based Therapies

Our clinical foundation, delivered by licensed clinicians. Together these help you understand what drives your addiction, build healthier patterns, and repair relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Change the thought patterns that drive substance use.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Build emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

Group Therapy

Heal alongside peers who understand.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one work with your own clinician.

Medication Management

Medical oversight when medication supports recovery.

Family Therapy

Repair and strengthen the relationships that matter.

Healing every day

Holistic Therapies

What makes New Wave feel different, and it happens every day. These practices calm the body, quiet the mind, and reconnect you with yourself. They complement, never replace, the clinical work.

Reiki Energy Healing

Gentle energy work for relaxation and balance.

Recovery Yoga

Reconnect mind and body through movement.

Sound Bowl Therapy

Deep relaxation through therapeutic sound.

Mindfulness & Meditation

Build present-moment awareness and calm.

Art Therapy

Express and process through creativity.

Animal Therapy

Comfort and connection with our therapy dogs.

Experiential Therapy

Learn by doing, not just talking.

Practical Skills Training

Real-life skills for independent living.

Better together

Why We Combine Both

The magic is in the integration. A morning of CBT lands differently when it is followed by a sound bath that helps it settle. Cravings feel more manageable when you have both coping skills and a mindfulness practice to lean on. By weaving clinical and holistic care together every day, and keeping the same therapist with you across levels of care, we help recovery reach the whole of you. That is the New Wave way.

Therapies FAQs

Want to talk to a real person? Call us, someone in recovery will answer.

What therapies does New Wave offer?

We combine evidence-based therapies (CBT, DBT, group, individual, medication management, family therapy) with daily holistic care (Reiki, yoga, sound bowls, mindfulness, art, animal, experiential, and practical skills training).

What is the difference between evidence-based and holistic therapy?

Evidence-based therapies are clinical approaches with strong research behind them, like CBT and DBT. Holistic therapies, like Reiki and yoga, support the body and mind. We use both together to treat the whole person.

Is holistic therapy a replacement for clinical treatment?

No. Holistic care complements evidence-based therapy; it does not replace it. The two work together every day at New Wave.

How often is holistic care offered?

Every day. Unlike programs that offer it occasionally, we weave holistic practices into the daily schedule alongside clinical groups and individual therapy.

Will I see the same therapist throughout?

Yes. You keep the same private therapist as you move between levels of care, so your progress is never interrupted.

Which therapies are right for me?

That depends on your needs and goals. Your treatment plan is individualized, and your therapist will tailor the mix of clinical and holistic therapies to you.
