HOPE IN THE OPIOID CRISIS
The United States is in the midst of an unprecedented opioid crisis, with more than 130 Americans passing away every day due to overdoses. Many people struggling with addiction lose hope of ever gaining control of themselves again, but our program oers them a lifeline. Through a breath-based, mind-body intervention, recovering individuals are given practical tools to stay calm in the face of triggers, reduce emotional volatility, and ultimately to gain freedom from addictive patterns. ASHTABULA STUDY FINDS SKY AIDS IN RECOVERY FROM ADDICTION A pilot study sponsored by Ohio State University and conducted in the rural town of Ashtabula, looked at SKY specifically as a recovery intervention for addiction. Subjects participated in the 4-week SKY intervention in addition to the "standard of care" therapy.
