Addiction has a biological cause; therefore, the solution must be biological. A broken leg is treated by setting it in a cast; not counseling to ignore the pain and discomfort.
If you have an addiction problem then undoubtedly you have promised yourself you were going to stop but then your mind gave you all the reasons that it would be ok to take one more or something along that line.
Drugs affect the mind, look only to the high feeling one gets - that is neurological. The reason the desire or craving to continue is difficult to overcome or ignore is because it is actually a biological impulse - the body craves the item. We treat it as a biological issue and not something counseling alone should correct.
Every thought, feeling, or act begins in the brain through neurotransmitters. The high feeling is produced by the dopamine pathway. These get distorted with drug use and become unbalanced. Often the drugs themselves can alter the body’s ability to absorb nutrients which further complicates an individual’s journey into clean living.
We begin working with someone experiencing addiction by administering sophisticated testing that will clearly reveal the body’s condition and measure the workings of neurotransmitters’ functions. From the results we will design a protocol that allows your body to operate efficiently and cleanly. Drugs also leach vital vitamins from the system that needs to be replenished. When the body and mind are operating seamlessly, an individual feels good and things aren’t insurmountable.
Appointment prices range from $50.00-$225.00 depending your need.
