Frequently Asked Questions
What are the non-medication methods for treating mental health symptoms?
Though medications may play an important role in recovery from a mental health disorder because they aid in the management of symptoms, they are not the only option in mental healthcare. In fact, for many, they play a steadily decreasing role in recovery as they progress and grow through treatment. Each person is different and will be differently impacted by the specific mental health disorder in combination with drug or alcohol abuse and addiction, and thus different therapies and treatments will make sense in different situations.
However, in general, options may include:
- Cognitive and behavioral therapies
- Support groups
- Family therapy
- Yoga
- Exercise
- Meditation
- Acupuncture and acupressure
- Bodywork and massage
- Herbal supplements
- Aromatherapy
