Whenever somebody opts for detox, the first thing that hits the mind is withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Finding it difficult to endure the tumultuous phase of withdrawal symptoms, many addicts reel back into relapses. Moreover, the cravings also become hard to resist many times, which eventually results in relapses. So, some therapies use addictive materials to counter these difficulties in patients. It has been observed that the extensive use of addictive substances in detoxification sometimes leads to further complications and delays the process of healing.
However, neurotransmitter restoration therapy, as opposed to other conventional methods, does not use addictive substances for detoxification to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and lessen cravings. When it comes to this therapy – also known as neurotransmitter restoration – there are no such possibilities, and it also expedites the process of healing.
What is neurotransmitter restoration therapy?
Our brains consist of chemicals that help to control states of consciousness, including moods. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters. The therapy aims to restore the chemicals in our brains so that a patient on a detox path responds favorably to the treatment.
When there is an irregularity in the flow of these chemicals the brain’s receptors get blocked and can cause several problems, like mood instability, agitation, irritability, anxiety, hypersensitivity, depression, poor concentration, apathy, and trouble focusing, and despair. With these mental conditions, it is unlikely that an addict would respond properly to the treatment. Hence, the restoration of neurotransmitters is the first step in enabling a patient to respond quickly to the treatment.
It is also called NAD therapy. NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is the molecule that reacts with oxygen in the mitochondria in every cell of our body to create energy in us. A lack of this essential cellular fuel results in chronic fatigue, apathy, anxiety, depression, alcohol and drug addiction, weakness, weak immune system, headaches, poor memory, sleep disturbances, focus and concentration defects, and other chronic diseases. With all these issues how can an addict expect to go the detox way successfully? So, addressing these underlying conditions would be the most pragmatic approach while treating an addict for his or her addiction. This is what NAD therapy does while treating an addict.
However, it should be noted that this treatment is not a substitute for drug recovery but the beginning of the healing process. Initiating this process surely bodes well with the actual detoxification methods. When the patient gains physical strength, mental clarity, and improved focus, then only he or she can decipher between self-destructive addiction and meaningful existence. This realization acts as a deterrence to their old habits and helps them in taking a decisive step toward detoxification. Addicts gain a perspective on their compulsive behaviors and the futility of their addiction dawns upon them.
Studies done way back in the 1960s have proved the efficiency of this method in treating drug addicts, alcoholics, and other substance abuse patients. Because of its effectiveness
, the method is gaining momentum and almost all detox centers advocate its use as a supplement to their traditional detoxification treatment.
