Addictive Behaviors and Mental Health
Through discovering the causes of addictive biochemical factors by actually measuring biochemical markers, we can discover the neurochemistry that drives addictive cravings. This unique program specializes in restoring healthy biochemistry naturally, offsetting the addictive biochemistry which may be a main factor in relapse. This can greatly reduce or eliminate the need for psychiatric medication. Alternative to Meds Center is revolutionizing alternative mental health and addictive behavioral treatment.
Addictive Biochemistry- Using targeted amino acid therapy; the imbalances that cause cravings are addressed at their source, the neurochemistry. Life coaching and education about addiction are also large components in this work.
What we are offering is an actual correction of the problems at the level which they occur, the neurochemistry. It is often a craving for Dopamine that drives a person to use Cocaine or Methamphetamines. It is commonly the desire to quiet anxiety or obtain sleep that leads to use of Benzodiazepines or self medicating with alcohol. It is usually a lack of Endorphins which contributes to Opiate use. These issues are rooted in the neurochemistry, and though they have psychological manifestations, cannot be treated as purely behavioral problems. To get relief, they must be treated as the medical conditions that they are. Through an exhaustive and astute degree of medical testing, such as for heavy metal toxicity, and metabolic testing, we can discover a more clear picture of what are the underlying causes. These causes are then treated using naturally occurring substances and non toxic modalities.
