Abstract

Addiction remains a complex global health issue, with significant psychological, social, and physical repercussions. Conventional approaches such as counseling and pharmacological interventions, while effective for many, do not address all aspects of addiction. Innovative therapies, including mindfulness-based interventions, virtual reality (VR), neurofeedback, and psychedelic-assisted treatments, are emerging as promising tools in addiction recovery. This paper explores these novel therapies, evaluates their efficacy, and highlights the need for further research to integrate them into mainstream care.
