Most who stop drinking/drugs still experience CRAVINGS, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, MOOD SWINGS, and other alcohol/drug induced symptoms that play havoc with sobriety. These symptoms are rarely alleviated by adding toxic psychiatric drugs used in mental health treatment centers.
Time Heals... or Does It?
Without the buffer of alcohol or drugs to reduce anxiousness and disguise depression, you feel the full brunt of brain and nervous system changes that your drinking/drug use has caused. Without physical repair as part of your alcohol / drug addiction treatment, feeling good is not just around the corner. These symptoms linger for years according to a recent Johns Hopkins University study of 312 abstinent alcoholics. Over a ten-year period they found the following ongoing symptoms:
- Depression
- Hostility
- Anxiety
- Paranoia Psychosis
- Phobic Anxiety
- Inadequate Inferior Feelings
Researchers concluded the typical person in post alcohol and drug addiction recovery, experiences many of these symptoms for years. Their study shows a painfully slow reduction in symptom intensity with levels dropping slowly over a long period of time.

Alcoholics, Recovering or Not, Lose Many Years of Their Life Span
Treated alcoholics have almost the same mortality rate as drinking alcoholics, about three times higher than the general population. Degenerative diseases, set in motion by heavy alcohol/drug use are not halted by counseling. Biochemical intervention and repair must take place.

A New Successful Solution
For the past ten years Health Recovery Center has pioneered a successful model of primary treatment based on biochemical repair and directed by holistic health practitioners. Our published research shows the dramatic drop in client symptoms after six weeks of our alternative alcoholism treatment. Of these clients, 74% were sober and stable at a follow-up one to three years later. Much of this success is the result of physical repair for a PHYSICAL DEGENERATIVE DISEASE.
