The Full Recovery Wellness Center, a holistic treatment center for alcohol and drug addiction, is proud to welcome Louise Umberto into its family of professionals. The center is located at 333 Route 46 West, Suite 205, in Fairfield.

Statistics compiled nationwide show that 80 percent of people discharged from a 28-day rehab will relapse within 30 days, and 90 percent within six months. Unfortunately, addiction, whether to alcohol or drugs, is often treated exclusively with medication. From the holistic perspective, giving more medication to an addict is doing more of what has obviously not worked in the past. The center’s approach considers substance abuse to be a spiritual, emotional and physical disease; therefore, long-term recovery can only be achieved by addressing all three components.

Umberto’s experience as a holistic nurse and hypnotist as well as an instructor of yoga, healing touch, and meditation will provide clients with effective ways of handling stress and anxiety as each client makes the transition into a healthy drug-free lifestyle. Integrating spiritual principles and energy therapies with holistic medical practices provides a foundation for new habits of thought and action needed for a productive life in recovery. Umberto is also available for individual and group hypnosis for smoking cessation, weight loss and stress reduction.
