Despite efforts to achieve freedom from addiction, those suffering from substance use disorder may find themselves repeatedly succumbing to cravings, relapses, and overwhelming emotions. The traditional, one-size-fits-all approach to addiction treatment may not address the root causes of addiction or provide the necessary tools to heal holistically.
