At Alternative to Meds Center, clients with issues ranging from substance use disorder (SUD) to prescription medication dependence may struggle with withdrawals. Each individual may experience varied symptoms, and our mission is to provide several different strategies so each can achieve healing. Unfortunately, more prescription medications can exacerbate symptoms or lead to new ones, which is why we're focused on finding the root cause of each symptom and addressing it directly with holistic therapies.
When we first meet each person who crosses our threshold, we discuss various internal and external triggers that may have caused substance or prescription medication use. People with SUD are often experiencing disrupted neurochemicals and may have previously experienced various traumas. While addressing endorphins and other neurochemicals like dopamine and serotonin may not be the only tool clients need to begin recovery, this can be an effective measure in helping people refrain from substance use.
We've also worked with clients who have been taking prescription medications for years, often as they are attempting to cease medication use. While medications can be used as a short-term solution, we have discovered that social interaction is crucial in achieving long-term success. There may be supplements that can help with the adjustment to a substance- and medication-free life, but making changes to your lifestyle can ensure you become successful after experiencing SUD or medication toxicity. Lifestyle changes can have an astonishing effect on both mental and physical symptoms, as exercise, counseling, spa treatment, and more can help you move on in the recovery process.
It’s also important to note that psychiatry has changed drastically compared to decades ago, and many psychiatrists only have a limited time to understand your concerns and offer a prescription. Unfortunately, life with prescription medications simply isn’t sustainable, which is why Alternative to Meds Center focuses on holistic approaches to healing and treatment. By truly getting to know you and how your body and mind function, we can help you determine the underlying cause of your issues and find a solution that doesn’t rely on medications.
In fact, neurological analysis plays an important role in how we provide treatment. For example, if we determine that an individual has low serotonin levels, that may manifest in urges to act on their impulses and ruminating on life before treatment. While medications may manage these symptoms for a short time, our goal is to avoid artificially inflating serotonin levels, instead applying multiple treatment modalities that treat the whole person, not just the symptoms.
Our environmental medicine team is abreast of the latest research regarding how various poisons can affect your mental and physical state. We also analyze our client’s genetics and determine how toxins, particularly neurotoxins, can be removed from the body. For example, organic foods can help begin to clear various toxins from the body. Certain chemicals can affect your mental health and result in severe symptoms, and replacing your diet with organic foods can be a great way to mitigate and eliminate your symptoms.
We also offer orthomolecular therapy, which is a practice we’ve begun learning more about in the past several years. We assist clients with balancing their neurochemistry so they can begin finding success with other therapeutic practices. When people are dealing with mental health symptoms, addressing the physical manifestations of the underlying conditions is just as essential as treating the emotional.
Alternative to Meds Center understands just how difficult it can be to find a responsive, holistic approach to treat SUD, medication dependence, and environmental toxicity. Here, however, success comes through collaborative practices, and we have a full staff of treatment providers who will work together to help you however possible. Every member of our team plays a significant role in treatment at our center, and each comes with their own experience and knowledge. We pride ourselves in offering collaborative, comprehensive, and holistic treatment so each of our clients can return to a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life.
