ExecuCare Addiction Recovery Center Introduces Revolutionary Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment to Metro Atlanta

February 22, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
ATLANTA, GA – A new treatment for drug and alcohol addiction is available for the first time in the metro Atlanta area. The treatment by ExecuCare Addiction Recovery Center
utilizes a revolutionary amino acid protocol which greatly reduces the physical cravings of addiction. The treatment is administered on a 10-day outpatient basis.

The amino acid method was developed in the early 1980’s by Dr. William Hitt, an international member of both the Canadian and the American Psychiatric
Association. He has treated over 10,000 patients and reports an 80 percent
success rate. The process is based on the knowledge of the brain’s
neurotransmitters. It short-circuits withdrawal pains and quickly quells
cravings.

Atlanta based Execucare begins the treatment with an initial doctor’s visit and lab work. Based on the results of the lab work, a compounding pharmacy formulates a solution of amino acids
specifically targeted at the patient’s addictions and medical profile. The
solution is then administered intravenously in a relaxed, private setting.

“In a normal brain, neurotransmitters, chemicals that send signals from one nerve cell to another, are produced by the brain itself,” explained Flora D. Cox, M.D., ExecuCare’s clinical director. “In the brain of an addicted person, the drugs or alcohol impair the flow of the brain’s natural neurotransmitters in various ways, so that the brain becomes dependent on the substances to support inter-nerve communication. Gradually, the brain’s ability to generate the neurotransmitters lapses into what might be thought of as hibernation. “When an addicted person stops taking drugs or alcohol, the brain’s chemical factory is suddenly called upon to ‘wake up’ and begin producing neurotransmitters again. The resulting strain on the body produces the symptoms collectively known as withdrawal. Even after withdrawal is over, cravings for the addictive substances may remain with the recovering addict for a lifetime, often leading to repeat drug or alcohol abuse,” said Dr. Cox. Amino acid therapy addresses the problems of withdrawal and craving by targeting the brain’s need for neurotransmitters.
