Natural Health Strategies

Different drugs have different effects, but what almost all drugs have in common is overstimulation for the pleasure center of the brain. In time, the brain’s chemistry is altered and it becomes extremely uncomfortable and even painful for a person without access to the substance. The compelling urge to use becomes more and more powerful, resulting in addiction. Addiction affects marriages, families, friendships, parenting, colleagues; but ultimately it affects an individual’s health.

There are a number of different holistic approaches that can be utilized while learning to abstain and maintain sobriety. While you are using your body is depleted of nutrients by the drugs you are using. Once you abstain, your body is then detoxing and craving a substance that it has come to depend upon and is no longer receiving. Each of these situations requires special attention to physical needs. Recommendations will be made for the most appropriate direction for each individual.
