Drug Addiction Treatment: Sauna Detox

Drug Addiction Treatment:

The Sauna New Life Detoxification Program

Why can’t an addict simply stop taking drugs? Can’t they see how it’s destroying them, destroying their family, destroying their lives?

Two reasons relapse occurs and the addiction continues

Saying no may have worked in the beginning, however once the addiction has taken hold it is nearly impossible to stop on ones own volition or will power, regardless of the consequences of drug use. The addict will need assistance, help, and treatment. Why do they need external help?

Mental and physical cravings caused by drug residues which remain in the body continue to alter the brains delicate neuro-balance for several years after the last drug use. This leads to relapse.

When drugs enter the body they travel rapidly to the brain and are substituted for some of the brain’s reward systems neurotransmitters, i.e.: dopamine, endorphins, serotonin, GABA, and others. However, the body immediately identifies the drugs as toxic.

Drugs In Fat Cells

The body has to eliminate these toxins. Drugs and alcohol are broken down in the liver in a process called metabolization, the by-products of which are called metabolites (the substances the body converts the drugs or alcohol into).

Although removed rapidly from the bloodstream metabolites become trapped in the fatty tissues. There are various types of tissues that are high in fat content. The problem that needs to be addressed is that these drug residues remain trapped in these tissues for years.

Tissues in our bodies that are high in fats are turned over very slowly. The body will metabolize and burn fat any time a person undergoes an experience that causes the heart rate to speed up. Stress can do this, as can strenuous exercise, anger, or intense emotion. We all experience these things on a fairly regular basis.

How Metabolites Trapped in the Body Can Trigger a Relapse

When an addict experiences these situations and their heart rate speeds, up the body begins to mobilize and burn fat. The fat contains toxins or metabolites from past alcohol and drug use. As the fat cells burn they release the metabolites back into the person’s bloodstream.

The metabolites travel through the bloodstream to the brain. The metabolite is a by-product of the drug, and is capable of substituting for the brain’s natural chemicals. The metabolite acts as a physical and mental reminder of the drug or alcohol consumption.

In short, when the stored drug metabolites are released into the bloodstream they reactivate the same brain centers as if the person actually took the drug. The former addict now experiences a drug restimulation (or “flashbacks”) and drug craving.

This is common in the months after an addict quits and can continue for several years.

How Can Drug Metabolites Be Safely Released?

One of the first steps taken to help a drug addict return to the cheerful, healthy state they were in before they started using drugs is the New Life Detoxification Program.

• Reduction or elimination of drug and alcohol cravings.
• Reduction or elimination of many symptoms associated with drug addiction and alcoholism.
• Ability to think more clearly. Increased Mental Ability (IQ)
• Improved memory and attention span.

• Increased sense of well-being.

Medical Evaluation- Clients will have a complete medical examination by the staff doctor (M.D.) which will include blood and lab work tests to insure that the client has or can still obtain optimum health for his body and mind.

Once the person completes this step of this non 12-step, non-traditional drug rehab program, they are ready to deal with the life issues and must regain their natural abilities to remain sober and productive.

Due to the Biochemical Personality the addict has developed through the drug use, he now possesses almost none of his natural abilities to handle life’s problems with any degree of success. He can not face the reality of the situation he has created. The original problem he was initially trying to solve by using drugs or alcohol is now unidentifiable in the wake of the newly created problems.

If not successfully treated these manifestations will haunt a person for years even if they have sobered up. Left untreated this will trigger a relapse. The addict can “just say no” a thousand times, but it only takes him saying “yes” one time to start the pattern of addiction again.

The Atlanta Recovery Center uses Narconon® technology, first established in 1966, by William Benitez, an inmate in the Arizona state penitentiary, it is a non-traditional approach to handling drug addiction, which in itself is quite unique. It is a proven get off and stay off drugs program. The key to the successes of the Narconon® program is the Drug Rehabilitation Technology and the New Life Detoxification program, which is a cleansing of the body on a cellular level, in essence a purification process. This methodology has been used successfully by hundreds of thousands of people around the world to rid themselves of the need for drugs and regain control of their lives.
