Research into complementary and alternative therapies for co-occurring ED and AOD use disorders has examined yoga, acupuncture, therapeutic massage, hypnosis, herbal medicine, light therapy, spiritual healing, and art therapy [1500]. Despite the breadth of research, no intervention has been identified as an effective, evidence-based treatment for co-occurring ED and AOD use. While the research in this area continues to develop, there are promising preliminary findings relating to the use of yoga [1501], acupuncture [1502], hypnosis [1503–1505], relaxation [1506], brain stimulation [1507], bright light phototherapy [1506], and therapeutic massage [1502, 1508].
