A New Integrative Treatment for Addiction - Focus on the Brain
We now know that 21.5 million American adults (aged 12 and older) battle with a substance use disorder. This chronic disease affects 1 in 12 people. Recent drug relapse statistics show that more than 85% of individuals relapse and return to drug and/or alcohol use within the year following traditional treatments. Researchers estimate that more than two-thirds of individuals in recovery relapse within weeks to months of beginning addiction treatment.
Most medical professionals in the addiction field agree that addiction is a “brain-based disease.”
So how can we treat the brain? Addressing only behavior is not enough – you have to heal and repair the brain. Cravings create relapse, and there is an underlying physiology behind the despair and discomfort associated with early recovery.
Join us Thursdsay, October 5th, and learn from Dr. Nancy White what the Advanced Recovery Team at Unique MindCare is doing to treat and prevent relapse. Register today
