UNDERSTANDING OPIOIDS AND THE DETOX PROCESS.

Opioids are a type of narcotic pain medication. They bind to receptors in the brain, which results in a euphoric feeling. The euphoric feeling of the opiates and the release of dopamine fuels the desire and motivation to continue using, exacerbating this never-ending cycle. As individuals continue to use opiates in greater amounts, the brain produces more opioid receptors.

BR+ NAD Therapy’s cell rejuvenation process can drastically reduce dependence on drugs by rejuvenating the opiate receptors. This can improve brain chemistry and replenish nutrients that have been reduced by substance abuse. The BR+ NAD Therapy program eases the discomfort of withdrawal, reduces cravings, produces a mind and body cellular restoration and speeds up the detox process. When a person stops taking drugs, their brain will eventually heal and rebuild lost receptors and neurotransmitters. However, this process can take a long time and may be physically or emotionally difficult for both the patient and their family. BR+ NAD Therapy significantly speeds up this natural healing process. It does this by bathing the brain with amino acids, vitamins, and other nutrients thereby blocking the discomfort of withdrawal. 

TREATMENTS FOR OPIOID ADDICTION.

VIVITROL®.

VIVITROL® is the first non-addictive drug approved by the FDA to prevent relapse to opiate dependence after opiate detox. It is an important aspect of the withdrawal treatment process, because it targets the physical dependency aspect of addiction. Its active ingredient, naltrexone, acts on specific opioid receptors in the brain to block the ‘high’ and ‘pleasurable’ feelings that occur with opioid or alcohol use. 

Taking VIVITROL increases the chances of a having a full long-term recovery.

Some important things to know about VIVITROL:

‣ Opioid antagonist
‣ Non-addictive
‣ Not a narcotic
‣ Effective in augmenting recovery from addiction to alcohol
‣ Requires opioid detox (before starting, you must be opioid-free for a minimum of 7-14 days to avoid sudden opioid withdrawal)
‣ Once-monthly injection
‣ Should be used in conjunction with other recovery programs, such as counseling

VIVITROL Benefits:

‣ Long-Acting: It is an extended-release, injectable form of naltrexone
‣ Reduces Cravings: Makes opiate drugs or alcohol much less desirable, therefore helping to avoid a relapse
‣ Easy to Administer: Because Vivitrol is given as a monthly injection, it is considered to be one of the most convenient ways to take the drug.
‣ No Risk of Abuse: Since the shot is administered in a medical setting and is also a non-narcotic, there is no potential for misuse
‣ Little to No Side Effects: Possible rare side effects may occur and could include nausea, headache, loss of appetite, depression, anxiety, and fatigue
