Drug and Alcohol addiction is a chronic disease that begins in the brain. Powerful chemical changes occur in the brain, causing cravings and driving each person to use, often overwhelming even the strongest desire to quit. In addition, because the body also becomes physically dependent upon the drugs and/or alcohol, abruptly stopping can cause harmful physical trauma and, tragically, even death.
Fortunately, amazing breakthroughs in medical science have greatly minimized and, in many cases, even eliminated risks. Pharmacotherapy is truly a remarkable breakthrough for drug and alcohol addiction therapies. Using highly advanced, proven anti-addiction medicines, pharmacotherapy effectively blocks the effects of alcohol and/or drugs within the brain, significantly decreasing cravings, the physical effects of withdrawal, and blocking the high or euphoria from the substance. They can also help to heal some or all of the brain damage caused by past alcohol and/or drug abuse.
