NTR™ provides a "jump start" into
lasting Recovery IF the other components of the disease of addiction-
emotional and spiritual- are also addressed concomitantly through rehab
treatment, 12 Steps - or other support group participation, and often
times, therapy. Education about the disease of addiction and how to avoid
relapse- is critical if the addict wishes to remains sober. This is what
“rehab” is all about. Other means besides 12-Steps approaches exist, and
can be successful..
NTR™ is best viewed as a powerful medical tool that dramatically speeds
up the brain's return to a more normal state after months or years of drug
use (including alcohol). Chronic drug use leads to adaptation of the
brain tissues and synapses, resulting in physiologic "tolerance" and
other changes that render it markedly less functional. Cessation of drug
use results in "withdrawal", a period of time where the brain is in
chaos, does not work normally, and when the addict feels
terrible. Without NTR™, this period of natural repair of the
drug-altered brain takes weeks, months, even years. In some cases,
irreparable damage remains. NTR™ speeds up the repair process
tremendously; to a period of about 10 days.
With NTR™, significant improvements are seen within 4-5 days. The entire
initial NTR™ process typically takes 10 full days in sequence. Periodic
“booster” treatments are often very helpful in coming months and years
to reinforce the initial NTR™ treatment.
In a sense, NTR™ replaces the traditional “detox” phase of rehab
treatment, but goes far beyond simply getting drugs safely and more
comfortably out of the brain. Just as a computer requires well-tuned and
well-functioning hardware to work most effectively with software
programs, the brain of the addict MUST be at top condition in order for
the emotional and spiritual aspects of treatment to work.
