Amino Acid Therapy and Recovery – An Alternative Therapy for Addiction

Amino Acid Therapy and Recovery – An Alternative Therapy for Addiction

Drug and alcohol addiction are complex diseases that fundamentally alter how the brain functions. These changes foster compulsive drug and/or alcohol abuse, making quitting extremely difficult, even for those who are ready to do so. However, neuroscience has uncovered how addiction works. This has allowed us to develop an alternative therapy for addiction that uses amino acids in recovery. Amino acid therapy can help in the recovery from drug and alcohol addiction and provide an alternative therapy for addiction because it can help the brain restore proper neurotransmitter function. Drugs and alcohol disrupt the way nerves cells send, received and process information. Read more…

Periodic detoxification can help calm down an overactive sympathetic nervous system. The key is to perform a detoxification program properly.  Read more…
