These modalities are evidence -based and supported by research. These modalities have been shown to be effective in complementing traditional approaches to addiction treatment. They offer creative and expressive avenues for individuals to explore and process their experiences, emotions, and recovery journey.

Art therapy involves using creative processes and artwork to explore emotions, improve self-awareness, and promote healing. Research has shown that art therapy can be effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma, which are often co-occurring with SUD.
-
Movement-based therapies such as dance movement therapy and yoga integrate physical movement with psychological and emotional processing. These modalities can help individuals reconnect with their bodies, release tension, and improve self-regulation, which can be beneficial in SUD treatment.
-
Somatic experiencing is a body-oriented approach to trauma therapy that focuses on releasing stored traumatic energy from the body. By addressing the physiological effects of trauma, somatic experiencing can help individuals regulate their nervous system and reduce symptoms of trauma-related disorders often present in individuals with SUD.
-
Mindfulness-based interventions incorporate mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness, acceptance, and self-compassion. Research has shown that mindfulness-based interventions can reduce substance use cravings, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall well-being in individuals with SUD.

Research has shown that nature-based therapies, often referred to as "ecotherapy" or "nature therapy," can have significant positive effects on individuals with SUD.
Nature exposure has been linked to lower levels of stress and anxiety, which are often underlying factors in substance use and relapse. Studies indicate that spending time in nature can enhance mood and emotional well-being, helping individuals in recovery maintain a positive outlook.
Many nature-based activities involve physical exercise, which can improve overall health and reduce cravings for substances.
Regular exposure to natural light helps regulate sleep cycles to foster improved sleep patterns.
