Excerpt
Approaches to the treatment of substance use disorders (SUDs) continue to develop and shift, as does the research supporting these approaches. Although what are often referred to as “alternative” approaches—such as meditation, exercise, yoga, music therapy, and acupuncture—have likely long been integrated into treatment programs, the evidence base underlying these approaches is relatively recent. Research has been growing on the use of mindfulness meditation, exercise, and other “mind and body” practices such as yoga, acupuncture, and tai chi as complements to extant treatment models or as alternatives to standard SUD treatment. In this chapter we offer a brief overview of these alternative approaches.
