Addiction Treatments

Addiction is a complex condition that affects the mind, body, and spirit. As naturopathic doctors, we take a holistic approach to treating addiction, addressing the underlying causes of addiction and supporting the individual's overall health and well-being.

We recognize that addiction is often linked to underlying mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression, as well as physical imbalances, such as nutrient deficiencies and hormonal imbalances. We may recommend diagnostic testing to assess these imbalances and develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses these underlying factors.

Our treatment approach to addiction may include a combination of therapies, such as specialized counselling, nutritional therapy, herbal medicine, and mind-body practices, such as meditation. We also emphasize the importance of lifestyle changes, such as exercise, stress reduction techniques, and social support, to promote long-term recovery.

In addition, we may use natural therapies to help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with addiction. These may include supplements, such as amino acids and herbs that support neurotransmitter balance and reduce cravings.

Overall, our goal as naturopathic doctors in treating addiction is to address the root causes of addiction and support the individual's overall health and well-being. We work collaboratively with our patients to develop an individualized treatment plan that meets their unique needs and supports their journey to recovery.
