An integrated, holistic concept of comprehensive recovery healthcare has evolved from studying the complex interaction of genetic, emotional, spiritual, physical, dietary, mental, and environmental life issues [1]. Long-term trauma recovery management involves one’s body, mind, and spiritual balance characterized by: (1) positive emotions, (2) constructive thoughts, and (3) responsible actions. Complete transformation emphasizes the person's physical, emotional, social, and spiritual integration. Various therapies, which address the body’s energy fields, ensure a more significant opportunity for sustained health. Eastern practices such as massage, meditation, Asian acupressure methods, and acupuncture have been beneficial in reducing stress, tension, and anxiety. Bodywork activities such as Therapeutic Touch, Reiki Therapy, and Cranio-Sacral Therapy can reduce the emotional stress of daily life problems. The cornerstone to holistic health assumes whole foods, medicinal herbs, and nutritional supplements enhance diet, build physical balance, and nourish body tissues. The movement towards a person's physical, emotional, social, and spiritual integration and a responsible lifestyle is a desire of all recovering individuals. Holistic health is always reflected in a person's attempt to take control over their body, mind, and spirit. This integrated concept of comprehensive health arises from a complex interaction of genetic, emotional, spiritual, physical, dietary, mental, and environmental life issues. Long-term trauma recovery management involves a body, mind, and spiritual balance characterized by positive emotion, constructive thoughts, and responsible actions. Total transformation emphasizes the whole person's physical, emotional, social, and spiritual integration [1].

“…The need for a more comprehensive, sensitive classification system must acknowledge the role that culture and spirituality play in dysfunctional behavior. When taken out of their cultural context, certain behaviors could be viewed as deviant or abnormal but culturally and spiritually congruent [1,2]. There is increasing pressure for clinicians to become more knowledgeable, professionally comfortable, and skilled in working with individuals from different races, ethnic backgrounds, sexual and religious/spiritual orientations, and other populations not bound by contemporary Western standards.…”

Religion and Spirituality are essential pieces to an individual's or group's identity and are present on the spectrum of multicultural diversity. Human service practitioners cannot overlook how individuals conceptualize their relationship with the Sacred. Knowledge of spiritual beliefs and practices creates the basic cultural competence of the practitioner. It enriches the relationship between the practitioner and the person receiving service and makes room for powerful spiritual healing. There needs to be a professional nonsectarian change toward a holistic model of recovery and resilience that embraces the spiritual dimension. This dimension must include traditional and non-traditional belief systems not just as part of the self-help movement but as part of an integrated psychological and spiritual health model that complements people's biological and genetic foundation. This integrated model must focus on: (1) the elimination of stress in the overall community; (2) being attentive toward environmental factors such as divorce, death, and Illness; and (3) supporting and providing opportunities for better housing, increased employment opportunities and positive family activities. Effective treatment services must embrace a holistic approach that integrates well into a comprehensive social support network perspective
