A Day in the Life

An important component of addiction treatment is a diet designed to aid the recovery process. Scientific research has shown that sugar, caffeine, and white flour trigger drug and alcohol cravings. These substances affect the same parts of the brain as drugs and alcohol. A low-glycemic diet is especially helpful in restoring proper dopamine levels in individuals fighting addiction. Our residential addiction treatment center in Los Angeles seamlessly incorporates a low-glycemic diet into addiction treatment. It is an excellent way to naturally boost dopamine production and improve your state of well-being. While the diet alone will not cure addiction, when used in collaboration with a well-structured 12-step program, inpatient, and outpatient treatment from a licensed facility such Iris Healing Retreat, it can help you achieve a life free of substance abuse.
