STATE-OF-THE-ART RECOVERY
NUTRITION
To ensure that you have the best chance for a successful recovery, our patients participate in a personalized nutritional therapy program. Good nutrition is an integral part of recovery from substance dependence. Eating the right foods plays a big part in regulating your body's return to health. Poor nutrition and distorted thinking are often associated with substance dependence. Correcting these critical nutritional deficiencies is a key component to achieving healthy and long-lasting sobriety.
Did you know:
- Substance abusers, particularly those with alcoholism, very often have nutrition deficits that must be addressed as part of their overall treatment
- The systemic effects of alcohol are likely to impair processing of nutrients
- Patients who abuse stimulants are also at risk for poor nutritional status
For example, the following are 5 recommended nutritional guidelines1 to observe during your recovery:
- Guideline #1: Maintain Moderate Blood Sugar Levels
- Guideline #2: Consume “Healthy Fats”
- Guideline #3: Enhance Concentration with High-Quality Proteins
- Guideline #4: Achieve the “Tryptophan Effect” for Relaxation and Sleep
- Guideline #5: Take Daily Vitamins and Supplements
A focus in your personalized treatment program will include nutrition guidance, support and education to improve physical health and help you sustain recovery.
