Yoga and alcohol and drug addiction

In many rehabilitation centres for alcohol and drugs abuse, Integral Yoga techniques have been introduced as a support to the traditional therapies that are normally applied.

Some Yoga practices can help to clean organs, the physiological systems and energy channels; other practices are used to rebalance the functioning of the autonomous nervous system, so helping to stabilize the behaviour of the addicted subjects, reducing the discomfort caused by the alternation of aggressiveness and depression that come along with the various phases of detoxification; some other techniques eliminate states of tension and stress.
