21 Oct Addictions and Withdrawal Support for White Rock, Surrey, Langley and Vancouver
While the spring and summer seasons often spur one on towards greater physical health, detoxes and losing weight, the fall season for many, is when our moods and addictions hit rock bottom and spur us onto choosing to get clean for good. And so with the season of fall – and sobriety upon us, I thought it well timed to expand upon what services are available to those seeking addictions and withdrawal support in the lower mainland. Together with Summit Bridge Consulting, Dr Grodski and White Rock Naturopathic provide personalized, on demand, medically supervised non-pharmaceutical withdrawal and addictions support. In fact, our program is Canada’s first at home, one-on-one withdrawal and addictions program.
What exactly does that mean? Well, if one were to make the choice to get clean, and begin on their journey into sobriety, the first step would be to manage the immediate withdrawal from their substance dependency. While some choose to do this via a detox center, or residential center, others chose to attempt to do it on their own. And of course, there are the unfortunate many, who detox in the hospital after the wake-up call of an overdosing episode.
In contrast, we support an individual undergoing withdrawal within the comfort and privacy of their home or a hotel room, while providing 24 hour support. Our approach is unlike any other program as well. Most detox or withdrawal programs are pharmaceutically based; meaning one is placed onto a drug in order to lessen the craving, pain and withdrawal effects stemming from not receiving the substance they’ve developed a dependency on. While the intent is to ease withdrawal through a gradual approach, and to lessen the health risk associated with the addictive substance, the end result often fails to culminate in the true goal; freedom from addiction. Instead, our approach is aimed at restoring health and nutrition as quickly as possible, via high doses of intravenous and oral vitamins, antioxidants and amino acids. In doing so from the very beginning of the detox process, we have been able to eliminate much of the dreaded detox experience and symptoms of withdrawal. By flooding the body with antioxidants and restoring the very malnourished state that most individuals suffering from addictions exist (as a result of the effect of their addiction), the body is able to clear itself of its dependency infinitely more easily and without the typical withdrawal symptoms.
Moving on from detox and into addressing one’s addiction itself – and how to live one’s life from this day forth, we use a variety of approachs and tools, including ongoing nutrient supplementation to support mood and emotional health, counseling, hypnotherapy, EMDR, the 12 step program and meetings, and helping one find a positive addiction in their life.
Our belief is that only a personally meaningful life is powerful enough to overcome addictive cravings and satisfy the deep-seated human yearnings for happiness and meaning. Our holistic approach emphasizes fulfilling the human needs for well-being, meaningful living, and self-transcendence.
If you’re seeking help in finding ‘that answer’, we’d love to help.
