Hypnosis, as a practice, is moving from stage entertainment performances to therapy programs for drug and alcohol addiction. Referred to as hypnotherapy, sessions are said to help reduce stress, manage pain, improve health and even lead to new success – and are becoming more heavily explored as a treatment option for people trying to break a substance abuse cycle of dependence, especially in follow-up care to help prevent relapse.

Why Hypnosis is a Viable Option for Alcohol Addiction Recovery

• reduce desires for addictive behaviors
• a tool for calming the mind
• revealing new perspectives

Like drug therapy that is used to treat cravings and modify behaviors, hypnotherapy is administered under expert observation. It is considered a piece of a comprehensive treatment program for alcohol addiction recovery, and is gaining more recognition nationwide as a viable option for alcohol addiction recovery.

In some cases, hypnosis is linked to a reduction in harmful behaviors. It can also be used to give patients a greater feeling of control over their own recovery.

It is believed most people only utilize approximately five percent of the brain’s capacity – but when unconscious, the brain may be capable of processing millions of operations each moment.

Hypnosis may reduce desires for addictive behaviors because it aids in relaxation. In a relaxed state of awareness, a patient may become more open and accepting of recovering from their addiction to alcohol.
