Abstract

ABSTRACT The growing interest and acceptance of Integrative Body-Mind-Spirit (IBMS) practice in recovery has created opportunities to explore new adjunct interventions for substance use disorder (SUD). Additionally, more and more people are seeking out the services of IBMS alongside conventional treatments, thereby engaging in dual interventions. This qualitative study aimed to gather perspectives about the experience of IBMS interventions (acupuncture, meditation, and Himalayan salt treatment) in combination with traditional SUD treatment. Twelve adult females in a residential recovery program completed weekly IBMS interventions and offered their experiences through survey responses. Themes identified that reduced stress led to greater body awareness and relaxation among participants. This contributed toward using IBMS as an alternative coping mechanism to substances and greater clarity with their life’s purpose. The results of this study underscore the importance for expanded research on the effects of IBMS interventions used in the treatment of SUD

摘要：康复过程中对身心一体化（IBMS）实践的兴趣和接受度不断提高，为探索治疗物质使用障碍（SUD）的新辅助干预措施创造了机会。此外，越来越多的人在寻求传统治疗的同时，也在寻求IBMS的服务，从而参与双重干预。这项定性研究旨在收集IBMS干预（针灸、冥想和喜马拉雅盐治疗）与传统SUD治疗相结合的经验。一项住院康复计划中的12名成年女性完成了每周IBMS干预，并通过调查回复提供了她们的经验。确定的主题是，减轻压力可以提高参与者的身体意识和放松。这有助于将IBMS作为物质的替代应对机制，并使其生活目标更加明确。这项研究的结果强调了扩大研究IBMS干预措施在SUD治疗中的作用的重要性
