We all know that the "Revolving Door" is all too common in addiction, alcohol and eating disorder treatment. We also know that relapses always demand more allocation of health care funds as well as continued professional intervention. The question is always "why do so many people struggle with continued relapses and return to destructive using, drinking or eating patterns"? Are there effective ways being used to interrupt these patterns. Here is a promising trend in today's treatment.
We offer treatment programs at home, focused on good food, nurturing environment and counseling based on naturalness and higher knowledge of the Self as expressed in the 8-fold maniffesting qualities of the 5 senses, and ego, intellect and mind.
One aspect that many acknowledge, but often do not necessarily know how to interrupt, is the effect on relapse created by unbalanced neurological conditions.
Physiological and neurological damage, a consequence of habitual usage, is directly implicated in relapse. Family chaos, physical and sexual abuse, financial problems, PTSD, ADHD and depression have always been concurrent risk factors. For those that struggle with confusion and problems with memory and concentration brought on by years of usage, however, these challenges are often overwhelming. For years, medications have been a standard answer to deal with these concerns, but the risks encountered are unaceptable. There has to be a better way.
It has been said, new times call for new solutions and the same is true in the world of addiction, alcohol and eating disorder treatment.
Brain Gym was created and developed by Paul Dennison over the last 24
years. Historically it has been used in educational and private individual
settings to assist individuals dealing with ADHD, learning disabilities,
aphasia, anxiety, depression, reading problems, as well as for enhancing
function in cognitive, physical and emotional abilities.

The exercise movements are fun, light hearted and even silly at times, but the results are very effective. Tapping into the body's natural self-healing ability it uses the power of acupuncture points, energy meridians and coordinated movement and sound to balance and enhance communication between the right and left hemisphere of the brain adn holistic integration.
We've all seen the pattern of social isolation that many actively using individuals fall into. Clearly, people in the throws of addiction do not want to give up their using behavior, and being around healthier people is the only real option. In addition, many using individuals are all too familiar with being hurt, abandoned or used emotionally and are afraid of dealing with this in their present relationships. With few healthy, workable alternative behaviors at their disposal, they do not know how to deal with regain health. Simply put, they do not have the skills to modify, release or move through the confusion, fear, and emotional charge of their inner world. This is a set up for relapse.
