Neurotransmitter Repair Program

At the forefront of addiction recovery medicine and technology, New Beginnings Recovery Center utilizes amino acid IV infusion as part of its integrative medical approach to ending substance abuse. This IV-infusion therapy is also one of the alternative medicine components of in our Restore™ Neurotransmitter Restoration Program. Here are just a few of the major benefits of our amino acid therapy:

1. Substantially reduced withdrawal symptoms
2. Decreased or eliminated drug cravings
3. Restoration of mental clarity
4. Essential tools to stay clean and sober

What are Amino Acids and Neurotransmitters?

Amino acids are building blocks for proteins and precursors for neurotransmitter production. Neurotransmitters are brain chemicals that communicate information throughout the brain and body. There are two kinds of neurotransmitters: inhibitory and excitatory. Inhibitory include serotonin, GABA and dopamine; excitatory include epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine. Dopamine is our main neurotransmitter for focus and help with depression. In drug and alcohol addiction, dopamine is constantly produced, leading to damage of dopamine receptors while the body eventually loses its ability to make dopamine. The body begins to rely on the substance to stimulate the production of dopamine, which is why the person cannot function without the drug.

How to Repair Neurotransmitters Using Amino Acid Therapy

During amino acids therapy, we replenish the amino acids in a patient’s body, which allows the dopamine receptors to heal and the body to resume control of neurotransmitter production. When this is achieved, the patient will think more clearly and be capable of processing again. They will also have reduced withdrawal symptoms and a shortened withdrawal duration. This neurotransmitter therapy at New Beginnings Recovery Center has also been known to reduce relapse incidences because the amino acids are in balance, leading to more normal levels of dopamine and serotonin in the neurotransmitters.

Our amino acids for neurotransmitters therapy is not a “cure” for addiction, by itself at least. The quick, effective treatment is simply replenishing the depleted amino acids in a patient, allowing for balanced neurotransmitter levels, which improve one’s mood and mental clarity. With the neurotransmitters in balance, the patient will be more open to implementing positive lifestyle changes and making necessary behavior changes during their recovery process.
