Harness the Power of Breathwork Therapy for Addiction Recovery at Monterey Bay Recovery
At Monterey Bay Recovery, we take pride in offering innovative and holistic therapies to support individuals on their journey to sobriety. One such transformative modality is breathwork therapy, a time-tested practice that promotes healing by focusing on controlled breathing. This evidence-based approach is especially beneficial for individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, providing tools to manage cravings, reduce stress, and restore balance to the nervous system.
What Is Breathwork Therapy?
Breathwork therapy refers to a range of breathwork techniques that involve intentional breathing to improve physical and mental health. By controlling the breath, individuals can influence their autonomic nervous system, which regulates responses to stress. Through exercises like deep breathing, holotropic breathwork, diaphragmatic breathing, and pursed lip breathing, clients can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, fostering relaxation and emotional resilience.
At Monterey Bay Recovery, our breathwork practices are integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each client’s unique needs, offering a powerful way to complement traditional and experiential therapies.

How Does Breathwork Help with Addiction Recovery?
Breathwork for addiction offers a variety of benefits that address both the physiological and emotional challenges of recovery:
Regulates the Nervous System:
By engaging the parasympathetic nervous system, breathwork promotes relaxation and helps counteract the overstimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, which is often triggered during withdrawal or high-stress moments.Reduces Stress Hormones:
Intentional breathing techniques can lower cortisol levels, mitigating the effects of chronic stress and preventing relapse.Improves Emotional Regulation:
Techniques like alternate nostril breathing help individuals center themselves, reduce anxiety, and build emotional resilience—key skills for navigating sobriety.Eases Physical Discomfort:
Breathwork can relieve muscle tension and other physical symptoms associated with withdrawal, creating a more comfortable recovery experience.Enhances Mental Clarity:
Practices like diaphragmatic breathing improve oxygen flow to the brain, supporting better focus and decision-making in recovery.Balances the Autonomic Nervous System:
By alternating between activation and relaxation states, breathwork helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, creating a foundation for long-term emotional and physical well-being.
