Addiction Treatment

This article discusses a drug addiction treatment facility that is using the principles of alternative medicine to treat and rehabilitate drug addicts. Some new facilities rehabilitate patients with drug addiction, depression and sleep disorders using innovative combinations.

"In lieu of conventional medical treatments, the addiction-recovery programs... focus on nutrition and customized supplements such as vitamins, amino acids and herbs, [says the owner]. Twelve-step meetings are offered, but alongside treatments such as acupuncture, message therapy, meditation and equine-assisted therapy."

Understanding the link between alternative medicine and the treatment of these types of disorders is very important. In my book, Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide, I discuss how alternative medicine can be used to treat mental health problems.
