Introduction

Addiction is by definition a chronic relapsing disease with both genetic and environmental contributing factors that primarily affect the pleasure centers of the brain. It has three broad components: medical, emotional, and spiritual and is characterized by compulsive drug or alcohol use in spite of negative consequences that invariably lead to premature illness and even death unless arrested.

Addiction is by far the nation's largest public health and social problem, directly affecting about 10% of our population. It is a family disease, and each addict profoundly affects all those around him. Over 50% of the population is deeply affected by the disease of addiction.

TRIAD Treatment Center is unique in addressing all three components of the disease of addiction. To achieve lasting success in treating addiction, all three must be addressed. Our proprietary NTR™ (Neurotransmission Restoration) treatment system, using naturally-occurring amino acid infusions to heal the drug-damaged brain, is the missing medical link in the drug and alcohol treatment puzzle.
