Integrative Medicine

What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative Medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical practices with complementary and alternative therapies. The goal of Integrative Medicine is to treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—recognizing the interconnectedness of various factors that contribute to overall health.

This approach emphasizes the importance of individualized, patient-centered care, taking into account not only the symptoms of a condition but also the underlying causes and the patient's unique circumstances.

Research from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) underscores the importance of adopting a holistic approach to addiction treatment, emphasizing the need for personalized, patient-centered care.

How Does Integrative Medicine Work?

Integrative Medicine works by combining conventional medical practices with complementary and alternative therapies to address the holistic well-being of individuals. The approach is rooted in the understanding that health is influenced by a complex interplay of physical, mental, emotional, social, and environmental factors.

Here's how Integrative Medicine typically operates:

• Holistic Assessment:

Practitioners in Integrative Medicine conduct comprehensive assessments, considering the symptoms of a specific condition and the individual's overall health, lifestyle, and personal circumstances.

• Personalized Treatment Plans:

Based on the assessment, a personalized treatment plan is developed. This plan may include a combination of conventional medical treatments, lifestyle modifications, and complementary therapies tailored to the individual's needs and preferences.
