What is Biopsychosocial?
The biopsychosocial model is an approach to health and illness that considers not just biological factors but also psychological and social influences. In addiction and mental health treatment, this model is used to develop a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s condition by exploring how genetics, emotional states, and environmental influences contribute to their overall well-being.
Treatment plans based on the biopsychosocial model often include medical care, therapy, and social support, recognizing that each dimension plays a role in recovery.
