- Mindfulness Meditation: Encourages present-moment awareness by observing thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without judgment. This helps individuals recognize triggers, reduce reactivity, and respond to cravings with clarity and control.
- Breathing Meditation: Focuses attention on the breath to calm the nervous system and bring attention to the present. It’s a simple yet powerful tool for managing anxiety, grounding the body, and easing emotional turbulence.
- Guided Meditation: Led by a therapist or audio recording, guided meditation uses imagery, storytelling, or affirmations to support emotional healing. It’s especially helpful for beginners or those recovering from trauma or anxiety.
- Mantra Meditation: Involves silently or audibly repeating a word or phrase to focus the mind and quiet internal distractions. This repetition can create a sense of calm and inner steadiness, supporting emotional regulation in recovery.
- Transcendental Meditation: Uses a specific sound or mantra assigned by a trained teacher, repeated silently to achieve deep mental rest. It’s designed to promote relaxation and reduce stress at a deeper, more meditative level.
- Movement Meditation: Incorporates gentle physical activity – like walking, stretching, or yoga – with mindful awareness. It’s ideal for those who feel restless or disconnected, helping reconnect body and mind through motion.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Meditation Therapy for Addiction
We understand that starting therapy can bring up many questions. To help you feel more comfortable and prepared, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common inquiries about our therapy sessions at Radix Recovery. If you have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.
What if I have trouble sitting still or focusing during meditation?
This is a common concern, especially for those new to meditation or early in recovery. Our facilitators offer gentle guidance and alternatives like walking meditation or breath-focused techniques. With practice and patience, it becomes easier to stay present – even if just for a few moments at a time.
How long is each meditation therapy session?
Sessions typically last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the program structure and client needs. Shorter introductory sessions are available for beginners, while longer sessions with deeper meditative focus are used for more experienced participants. Time is also set aside for reflection and integration after each practice.
Do I have to talk about my past or trauma during meditation therapy?
No, meditation therapy doesn’t require you to share your past or trauma verbally. The focus is on present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, not storytelling or disclosure. If something arises during meditation, you can choose whether to process it in a therapy session. Your pace and boundaries are always respected.
Can meditation therapy help prevent relapse?
Absolutely. Meditation supports relapse prevention by helping clients become more aware of their emotional states and thought patterns. This awareness creates a gap between impulse and action, allowing for more mindful decision-making. With regular practice, clients are better equipped to face cravings without reverting to substance use.
Will meditation replace my therapy or group sessions?
Meditation is meant to complement, not replace, traditional therapy or group counseling. It enhances your ability to regulate emotions, stay grounded, and approach deeper therapeutic work with more clarity. Many clients find that meditation improves their progress in other areas of treatment. It’s an added layer of support for your overall recovery journey.
