Canadian Health Recovery Centre

General information

Through new research in medicine and neuroscience, we know that while there are social-emotional factors that contribute to addictive behavior, the brain biochemistry of a person suffering with addiction is different than the biochemistry of someone who is not dependent on drugs or alcohol. The lifestyle of an addict typically results in further depletion of important nutrients which, over time, interferes with brain function and reinforces the dependence. Rebalancing the body on a biochemical and neurological level is a key element in lasting recovery, as it addresses the deficiencies and imbalances that often make an individual prone to addiction.

At CHRC, we understand that the physiological and neurological damage caused by the abuse of alcohol and/or drugs must be treated as part of the process of recovery if life-long sobriety is the goal. We use orthomolecular nutrition to rebalance and nourish the body on a biochemical level – the body and mind are strengthened, and overall health and vitality are improved. A healthy body has reduced cravings, fewer mood swings, more self-control and less physical and emotional pain. Our orthomolecular nutrition treatment program lays the foundation for physical and emotional healing and normalized neurotransmitter function.

CHRC utilizes laboratory data, nutritional supplementation and a specialized diet to balance the body’s biochemistry, target cravings and facilitate mental-emotional health.
