Results of the addiction treatment model of the Takiwasi Center
Our almost 30 years of clinical experience indicate that the interaction between traditional Amazonian medicine, psychotherapy and spirituality, proposed by the therapeutic model of the Takiwasi Center, turns out to be very successful in the treatment of addictions and other mental health disorders. We believe that the articulation of these different therapeutic approaches greatly benefits the outcome of the treatment and thus is showing a path to follow in the global search for mental well-being and good living.
It is the initial vocation of the Takiwasi Center to associate clinical practice with research. Since the beginning of its operation, the Takiwasi Center has permanently evaluated its activities, its patient population and the results of its therapeutic interventions in order to constantly improve its model. Nevertheless, in order to avoid the bias of self-evaluation and to respond to the economic and technical demands of a high-level scientific investigation, it has been sought to summon external and independent researchers.
In this article we want to summarize some of the most outstanding results recorded in recent academic publications that highlight the efficacy of our therapeutic model. These results provide clear indications of the effectiveness of the use of traditional Amazonian medicine within the protocol developed by Takiwasi for the treatment of addictions.
