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
