What Are Behavioral Disorders?

Behavioral disorders, also called disruptive behavioral disorders can affect children as well as adults, and cause difficulty for a person in his or her personal relationships, in school and at work. There are several types of disorders in this group, including Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Causes Of Behavioral Disorders

Sunset & Lavender - Behavioral Disorders - New Beginnings RehabThere are a number of factors that can lead to the development of a behavioral disorder. The underlying cause can be explained by a combination of the person’s genetic make-up and his or her environment at home and school. These factors include:

  • Malnutrition
  • Physical illness or disability
  • Divorce or major emotional upset in the home
  • Inconsistent or harmful discipline
  • Poor attitude toward school or education

Signs Of A Behavioral Disorder

The first indications that someone is dealing with a behavioral disorder will likely become apparent through emotional symptoms. The exact symptoms will vary, depending on the person and the severity of the disorder. However, someone who is living with this type of issue may:

  • Find it hard to deal with being frustrated
  • Argue with other people often
  • Throw temper tantrums when they get upset
  • Refuse to follow rules that apply to everyone else
  • Question authority at every turn
  • Put blame on others and refuse to take personal responsibility
  • Appear angry more often than their peers
  • Get annoyed or nervous more often than others

Behavioral Disorders And Substance Abuse

To deal with the difficult effects of behavioral disorders, many people turn to drugs or alcohol to self-medicate.

Neurotransmitter Restoration Program: Personalized, Natural Detox To Accelerate Healing!

Restoration Program Addresses Substance Abuse And Nutrition

For many people who are actively using drugs and alcohol, proper nutrition takes a back seat. In the case of someone who has had a substance abuse issue for a number of years, he or she may not have been eating a balanced diet for some time. Our Restoration Program includes vitamins and minerals from the outset to help replace the nutrients lost during the period of substance abuse.

Individual Evaluation And Amino Acid Restoration

All clients who come to use for the Restore Program start by undergoing a medical evaluation and lab testing so that we can determine what their individual needs are. Each person receives a minimum of three weeks of personalized treatment. We understand that each person is unique, and that substances affect every user differently. During this phase, clients start the basic oral supplement program, which is designed to start improving both cellular and stomach function.

All clients receive a minimum of three personalized IV amino acid restoration treatments per week for a minimum of three weeks. Once this phase is completed, another set of lab tests is performed to determine what the oral maintenance protocol should be. This includes oral amino acids, as well as personalized medical recommendations to lower the risk of relapse.

Neurotransmitter Restoration Program – Natural Detox To Accelerate Healing And More Comfortable Withdrawals

Our integrative detox programs combine traditional detox medicine, our Restore Neurotransmitter Restoration Program™ and a number of complementary therapies, such as:

  • Nutritional Support
  • Hypnotherapy
  • Visual Imagery Techniques
  • Progressive Muscle Relaxation
  • Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

This combination helps our clients achieve a much faster healing and restoration of the brain’s neurotransmitters which have been damaged due to substance abuse. As a result, clients report that the withdrawal process is much more comfortable than what is typically associated with detox.

Our Neurotransmitter Restoration Program is a personalized, natural approach to detox from substance abuse. Experience an accelerated healing therapy program and call us now!

Co-Occurring Disorders: Which Came First For You, Mental Illness Or Addiction?

People who have substance abuse issues are at higher risk of developing a mental health issue, and a significant number of people living with mental health concerns also struggle with addictions. When a person has a mental illness and an addiction, it is referred to as the client having a co-occurring disorder or dual-diagnosis.

When Mental Illness Symptoms Appear First

Which Came First For You, Mental Illness Or Addiction - NewBeginningsIn some situations, a person will develop symptoms of a mental illness and start using drugs and/or alcohol as a way to try to manage their symptoms. This type of self-medication may help to make them feel better temporarily, but it does nothing to treat the underlying illness.

A person who feels anxious may be drawn toward a downer like opiates or alcohol, since they have a sedating effect. Someone who is depressed may start using cocaine or amphetamines to boost his or her mood.

The substances may help the person to feel “better” for a time, but then end up making them feel worse and more anxious or depressed. Once he or she develops a tolerance for the substance, the problem becomes having to take more and more of the substance to get the desired effect. Drugs and alcohol can also interfere with the way the brain chemistry works and only ends up compounding a mental health concern.

When The Addiction Develops First

It is possible for some people to develop symptoms of a mental illness only after they start using drugs or alcohol. For example, chemical changes can occur in the brain in people who use. These changes could lead to episodes of a mental health issue that can last long after one stops using. Drugs and alcohol can also bring an underlying mental illness to the surface in some people.
