Addiction...The Reward Deficiency Syndrome Smoking Alcoholism Drugs Eating Disorders Sex Addictions are our way to compensate for our feelings when we are separated from our true selves and are not feeling good about whom we are. The simple joy of being alive is replaced as our survival needs force us to seek temporary feelings of being satisfied and peaceful. The over use of substances and events become our addictions. Addictions can be caused by many things, including but not limited to.. . Genetic Factors Loss of Normal Neurological Function due to Physical, Emotional, or Chemical Traumas Nutritional Deficiencies Drug/Medication Interactions
Our addictions stimulate specific brain pathways which give us the false sense of being satisfied and at peace with ourselves. Unfortunately, the addictions themselves cause further breakdown of these pathways creating a downward spiral so that we become increasingly dependent on our addictions for a feeling of well being.
 There are many ways to return the brain to normal function and assist in the recovery of our addictions. The evolution of psychology and treatment programs are showing great promise. What if we could return to a state of grace with a program that is more efficient, faster, less costly, and shows potential for greater retention of the recovery process? We can rebuild the normal "feeling good" pathways. It is possible to release the chronic tension of the nervous system through specific neurological techniques and nutritional protocols, which can break the addiction cycle for the person who is ready and willing to make a change. Integrative Medicine Center offers an effective out-patient recovery program for ALL types of addictions. |
