Cumberland Heights Blog: Using Yoga as a Compliment to Addiction Treatment

March 19th, 2015

Yoga and mindfulness meditation are proven to reduce anxiety and panic, improve insomnia and reduce likelihood of a relapse in depressive symptoms. Recognizing the benefits of practicing yoga, many treatment facilities are offering it as a compliment to addiction treatment.

Benefits Cumberland Heights patients have enjoyed are:

  • Improved sleep
  • Reduction in muscle aches associated with detoxing (especially for opiate addiction)
  • Reduction in agitation and irritability
    A sense of control in a time when all else seems out of control

 

Why is it so meaningful to give to Cumberland Heights?

Your gift to Cumberland Heights through our annual and capital initiates gives immediate support to patients and their families. To make a longer term impact a gift to the endowment fund will provide patient assistance funding for years to come.
