Addiction is a chronic relapsing disease and, like many other chronic diseases, there may not really be a ‘cure’.
NPR reports that there are multiple factors contributing to addiction, among them a change in an addicts limbic system that causes an addict to pursue addictive substances again and again.
These changes in a person’s chemistry can’t be fought with detox alone and there are medications out there that have been proven to aid in addiction recovery.
At Recovery Options, we do recognize the importance of addiction-fighting medication when combined with lifestyle changes, therapy, dietary changes, and coordinated support from addiction specialists.
