This means addiction will affect the lives of many individuals and families across Saratoga and the Capital Region.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it involves substance use disorder, alcohol dependence, or behavioral addiction, the journey to recovery is deeply personal \u2014 and it\u2019s not one anyone should face alone. As a community, we all benefit when people struggling with addiction have access to comprehensive support, compassionate care, and tools that foster resilience, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Recovery is about healing the whole person \u2014 body, mind, and spirit. While conventional treatments like counseling, medication\u2011assisted therapy, and support groups remain central, many people are also exploring complementary approaches that can support emotional regulation and stress management. One such approach that\u2019s gaining attention is the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/essential-oils-for-mental-health-in-substance-use-recovery-what-a-2025-study-using-bergamot-oil-reveals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">essential oils<\/a> as part of a holistic recovery plan.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, I discussed how <a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/essential-oils-for-mental-health-in-substance-use-recovery-what-a-2025-study-using-bergamot-oil-reveals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bergamot<\/a> essential oil may support substance use disorder (SUD) recovery by enhancing emotional resilience and overall mental well-being. In the highlighted study, participants who inhaled bergamot oil three times daily for one week reported feeling calmer, along with reduced symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.<\/p>\n<p>My <a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/addiction-and-essential-oils-science-evidence-practical-insights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">latest video article<\/a> expands on the current evidence surrounding essential oils and addiction, including animal studies, human trials, and proposed mechanisms of action.
