Quick-Start: Reduce or eliminate your drug and alcohol cravings within twenty-four to seventy-two hours. The first stage of the Power Recovery Program is called Quick-Start. It enables you, through simple questionnaires, to identify specific nutrient deficiencies that are the true causes of your chemical dependence. It then provides you with a program of nutritional supplements that will raise the levels of those nutrients in your body and quickly enable your brain to resume producing neurotransmitters more normally. The most dramatic effect of the Quick-Start stage is that your drug or alcohol cravings can be significantly reduced or even eliminated very quickly, usually in one to three days, enabling you to concentrate on the other aspects of your long-term recovery.

 

Detoxification: Cleanse your body of toxins. The Detoxification stage of the Power Recovery Program works to rid your body of all types of toxins, not just those resulting from drug use. Toxic substances have accumulated in your body as a result of substance abuse, but you may also have high levels of toxins in your body as a result of environmental pollution and pesticides and chemical additives in the food you eat. In fact, high levels of toxins from these and other sources often cause biochemical imbalances in the first place, by damaging our digestive tracts or by interfering with our cellular biochemistry. In addition, many alcohol and drug users have poor eating habits; their diets are often unbalanced, and they tend to eat excessive quantities of sugar and other refined carbohydrates. Over time this can cause disruption in brain chemistry that lead to or exacerbate drug cravings. In Stage Two you will begin a second regimen of nutritional supplements that will help you cleanse your system of toxins.

 

Long-Term Biochemical Rebalancing: Correct secondary biochemical imbalances that have resulted from your drug use. This stage of my program enable you to deal, not just with the small group of nutrients that is disrupting your brain chemistry, but with other secondary nutritional imbalances that, if left uncorrected, might eventually result in a return of your substance cravings.
