In recent years, ecotherapy has become an increasingly popular treatment for mental health disorders. But what is ecotherapy? And how can it help those struggling with addiction and mental illness?

If you or someone you know is struggling with a mental health disorder, consider giving ecotherapy a try. Red Oak Recovery® offers a unique and effective approach to addiction treatment that can help you on the road to recovery. Call us at 866.457.7590 today and learn more about our ecotherapy program.

What Is Ecotherapy?

Let’s start with the basics: what is ecotherapy? Also known as nature therapy and green therapy, ecotherapy is an emerging treatment modality for addiction and mental health disorders that emphasizes the healing power of nature. Ecotherapy is based on the premise that humans have an innate connection to the natural world and that spending time in nature can restore physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

There is growing evidence that time in nature can have a positive impact, and it is becoming an increasingly popular way to address issues like anxiety, depression, stress, and substance use.

Ecotherapy for addiction recovery can take many different forms, but all approaches share a common goal: to help individuals connect with nature and experience its healing benefits.

Common ecotherapy activities include:

  • Harvesting
  • Gardening
  • Spending time in nature

Why Try Ecotherapy for Addiction Recovery?

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, you may be wondering if ecotherapy can help. Ecotherapy can be an effective tool for those in addiction recovery for many reasons.

  • Reduced stress and anxiety – One of the main reasons people turn to substances is to cope with stress and anxiety. There is something about being in nature that can be very calming and grounding, and many people find that it helps to reduce stress and promote a sense of health.
  • Improved mood – One of the main symptoms of addiction is a negative mood. Ecotherapy can help to improve mood by increasing levels of serotonin, the “happy hormone.”
  • Increased self-esteem – Addiction can lead to feelings of low self-worth. Ecotherapy can help to increase self-esteem by providing a sense of accomplishment and helping individuals feel connected to something larger than themselves.
  • Develop a sense of purpose – When you’re in recovery, it’s important to have a sense of purpose. Ecotherapy for addiction recovery can help you develop a sense of purpose by giving you the opportunity to help others and make a difference in the world.

Types of Ecotherapy Programs

Exposure to the natural world is a way to promote healing and wellness in our mental and physical health. That is why Red Oak Recovery® offers a variety of different ecotherapy programs to meet the needs of our clients.

  • Gardening – Gardening is a great way to get outside and get your hands dirty. Gardening can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while also providing an opportunity to connect with nature.
  • Harvesting – Harvesting is a great way to get outside and connect with the natural world. It can also be a great way to get some exercise and fresh air.
  • Spending time in nature – Spending time in nature is one of the best ways to reduce stress and anxiety. It can also help you connect with the natural world and experience its beauty.
  • Holistic food – The feeling of exploring and getting to know the natural world through food is an excellent way to connect with nature. It can also help you learn about the benefits of eating healthy, locally-sourced food.
