Recovery from addiction is not an easy process. All addicts wishing to find recovery and a better life must understand up front that there is no "quick fix."

Triad Treatment Center offers the addict a cutting edge medical treatment process that is revolutionary and exciting. NTR™ is among the first truly effective medical treatments that address addiction at the cellular and molecular level of the brain.

To date, the only proven and effective approach to the disease of addiction has been the "12-Step" psycho-social treatment model that is embodied in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and other similar programs. These address the other two aspects of the disease of addiction: the emotional and spiritual.

Addiction is unique as a disease and includes three critical components: medical, emotional and spiritual. The reasons that addicts drink or use are multi-factorial, and include defects in the pleasure-processing centers of the brain and body (medical), mal-adapted character defects and psychological issues (emotional), and finally, a missing link in the addict's connection with a power higher than themselves (spiritual).

Each of these disease aspects must be successfully addressed in order to attain recovery and to maintain it. As is the case with many cancers and chronic diseases, there is no such thing as a "cure" when it comes to the disease of addiction. There is only a lasting remission, and only as long as "treatment" is maintained, which almost always requires addressing all three aspects of the disease listed above.

NTR™ is best viewed as a "jump start" into recovery. The Neurotransmission Restoration System™ (NTR™) is a 10-day medical treatment which uses intravenous amino acid formulations, plus nutritional and medication supplements, to allow the drug-altered brain to much more quickly return to a close-to-normal, pre-drug state ("normal").
