With the alarmingly high statistics of substance abuse/alcoholism and the unacceptably high rates of relapse, a new cutting-edge method of detoxifying the body and relieving the severe persistent symptoms of abstinence during sobriety is revolutionizing the substance abuse arena. Two treatment options are available: 1) the IN-CLINIC service, which avoids the necessity of lengthy residential home detox and allows treatment at the clinic after work; and 2) the IN-HOME service, which also utilizes conventional medical detox therapy, provides anonymity, no interruptions in daily life, no separations from friends or family, all without taking time off from work. The LifeStream Program has yielded great success in California and Virginia clinical studies. There is now hope for those addicted to and those recovering from addiction to drugs and/or alcohol. According to the latest New York City statistics from the Bureau of Addiction Planning and Grants Development in Albany, of the 812,000 people who are known substance abusers/alcoholics in New York City, 454,000 are alcoholics. A breakdown of these statistics includes: Adults (Ages 18+): Alcohol Only - 454,100; Non-opiate Drugs Only - 94,600; Alcohol and Non-opiate Drugs - 46,400; Adolescents (Ages 12 to 17): Chemical Dependency - 65,500; Opiates Opiates Analgesic, pain killing drugs, such as heroin and morphine that depress the central nervous system. Mentioned in: Withdrawal Syndromes (Ages 16+): 151,900. To address this huge problem in New York City, the clinically-proven LifeStream program administers intravenous and oral nutrients, including a variety of nontoxic and natural amino acids, vitamins and minerals to both addicted and recovering patients. The process has a precursor loading effect in large concentrations, re-establishing the brain reward cascade of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine dopamine (dōp`əmēn), one of the intermediate substances in the biosynthesis of epinephrine and norepinephrine.

Withdrawal symptoms and the many chronic abstinence symptoms ("white knuckling") are relieved and reversed the natural way. The addictive drug of choice is replaced by a sense of well-being. Furthermore, the IV & oral nutrients decrease the need for prescribed medication both during and after detox. The long term goal of addiction treatment is to come off and stay off substances that are life destroying. To accomplish this goal, the groundbreaking LifeStream Program, going beyond conventional modalities which have experienced exceptionally poor, or at best, mixed results in terms of relapse rates. makes this possible through natural, non-toxic, science-based IV and oral nutrients, thereby decreasing the need for prescribed medication both during and after detox.
