Brain recovery for those struggling with Addiction & Substance Use Disorder

Addiction Recovery Care

Around 46 million Americans (approximately 16.5% of the population) have at least one addiction, which can put their health and lives at risk. Addiction is a brain disorder that causes intense and compulsive urges to use a substance like drugs or alcohol. While medical researchers don’t know why some people develop an addiction, and others don’t, studies show that people who have an addiction develop differences in the parts of their brains that regulate impulse control and decision-making.

Addictive prescription medications and recreational drugs alter brain chemistry and can cause lasting damage. This results in or worsens neurological and psychological conditions such as emotional emptiness, cravings, withdrawal symptoms, difficulty in thinking and memory, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. And these can remain problems even after the medications and drugs are no longer used.

Fortunately, with personalized addiction treatment, you can experience a full recovery!

Our Brain Recovery Protocol

With decades of experience treating addiction, we offer a unique treatment plan that focuses on the neurological factors of addiction. Our Brain Recovery Protocol specifically supports the healing of the areas of the brain damaged by exposure to these agents. Below, you can find some of the Frequently Asked Questions regarding our Brain Recovery Protocol.

  • What is the Brain Recovery Protocol designed to do?

    ● Reduce withdrawal symptoms.
    ● Eliminate your cravings.
    ● Reduce brain fog.
    ● Improve your mood.
    ● Improve cognitive function.
    ● Elevate energy.
    ● Restore sleep and overall sense of wellbeing.

  • What can I expect from the protocol?

    The Brain Recovery Protocol consists of IV therapy over 5-10 days, oral nutritional supplementation, and, if needed, techniques that enable a person to identify and reverse the effects of stress on brain chemistry.
    The IV therapy allows for the continuous delivery of relatively high amounts of nutrients in order to “bathe” the altered and damaged nervous system in the nutrients needed to stimulate or promote this healing process.
    ● Patients who are currently using addictive medications or recreational drugs will require 10-12 days of treatment. ● Patients who are not currently requiring medications or using recreational drugs, but struggle with cravings or suffer from the damaging effects on the body, will typically need 5 days of treatment.
    Patients experience only mild detox and withdrawal symptoms. Natural medications or remedies are used to prevent and control symptoms. Cravings usually resolve in 1-3 days.
    By the end of the treatment period, most patients notice calmness, mental clarity, improved sleep and energy, and elimination of depression and anxiety.
    The maintenance part of the protocol will maintain this state of well-being, promote continued healing over months, and prevent recurrence of cravings. It consists of oral nutritional supplements and IV boosters every month for 4 months.
    *Real Health Medical Clinic also believes lifestyle strategy Coaching can ensure any patterns that lead to the addiction are not repeated. That’s why we have integrated the 12 Week Coaching Program with Certified Addiction Registered Nurse, Brian Bost, into our Brain Recovery Protocol.

    ● Personalized lifestyle strategies with diet, rest, exercise and stress.

  • When should I speak to a doctor for Addiction Treatment?

    ● Feeling frequent and intense urges to use a substance.● Continuing to use a substance despite increasingly negative consequences.● Needing more of the substance to feel the same effects.● Trying and failing to stop using the drug.● Experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
