New Year's Resolutions and Relapse

Jan. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Atlanta, GA, January 24, 2013- Just 3 weeks ago millions of Americans committed themselves to a New Year’s resolution to Quit Drinking. Considering 51.8% of Americans over the age of 12 are currently alcohol drinkers and 22 million of those are alcohol dependent, it’s no surprise that this resolution would make #6 of the most popular resolutions for 2013.  Why will some succeed at keeping this resolution and others have already failed?

There are two central reasons for relapse:
• Cravings for alcohol.
• Lack of a support plan to maintain sobriety.

The reason so many people relapse soon after quitting is because the brain’s chemistry needs to be rebalanced. Chronic drinking over-stimulates certain receptors in the brain until they’re damaged and unable to support themselves with their own chemicals. This leads to depression, anxiety, intense cravings, withdrawal symptoms and the desire to drink more. Cutting edge treatments such as Neurotransmitter Restoration Therapy (NTR) address this physical component of dependency by naturally detoxing the body from alcohol and accelerating the brain’s healing.

The only treatment center in the Southeast to offer this outpatient, 10-day IV protocol of amino acids, vitamins and minerals is ExecuCare Addiction Recovery Center in Norcross, Georgia.  Founder Mike Sanders says, “Healing the brain is a great first step in order for the individual to be more cognitively ready for those next life changes that need to be made.”

Addressing the 2nd component of relapse prevention, ExecuCare provides the Executive Coaching Program as a follow-up to detox. This program was designed and instituted by their new Executive Director, Jacquie Damgaard, PhD, and provides each client with the necessary coaching and treatment plan to ensure a successful recovery.
