With the intense interest across the nation for all-natural food supplements and remedies, it comes as no surprise that an alternative treatment for drug or alcohol addiction is preferable by many over the traditional treatment modalities. Many centers are offering the option of various ways to restore the body to a normal chemical balance without the use of "lock-down" programs.

One such method includes 10 days of a daily five-hour intravenous administration of amino acids. The premise for using the amino acid infusion is that the amino acids replace the deficiencies in the brain which led to the addiction in the first place. Drug cravings are reduced and, in some cases, even eliminated. This all-natural approach, as well as many others, is a welcome alternative treatment for many addicts.

In addition to the all-natural control for drug cravings, many facilities include activities geared for recreation and exercise. Golf, skiing, and rock climbing, are just a few of the opportunities offered by some recovery program sites. Also included are massages, mineral baths, and other comfort measures designed to treat the entire body. The alternative treatment is a non 12-Step approach to treating various types of addictions and drug dependencies.

The idea of treating the whole person in an environment that is relaxing and that offers natural alternative treatments is the basis for innovative treatment methods. Continued after-care sessions are available by most alternative treatment facilities to help the recovering addict transition back into the home environment. Successful intervention includes building self-esteem and helping individuals with life skills that will help them establish a non-addictive lifestyle with satisfying results.
