Nutrition and Addiction Recovery

Although many debilitating diseases can interfere with an individual’s ability to lead

a healthy and productive life, drug or alcohol addiction can be particularly

problematic to overcome. Such addictions can have an adverse effect on one’s

mental and physical health while also causing strain in one’s relationships with

family and friends. The negative effect on one’s physical health is particularly

important because a steady decline can precipitate a plethora of degenerative

diseases that can eventually lead to premature death. Because this is the case,

individuals seeking treatment for drug or alcohol addiction should look for the

services of a facility that offers nutritional advice that can correct health problems.

Into Action Treatment is one such facility. By learning more about nutrition and

addiction recovery, an individual can gain a deeper understanding of why Into

Action Treatment is an ideal drug rehab center.

Nutrition and Addiction Recovery: The Basics

As many health experts know, nutrition plays a profound role in helping individuals

recover from addiction because drug users and alcoholics often are malnourished.

The reasons for malnourishment are diverse but are usually because the

consumption of drugs and alcohol generates a feeling of fullness that can result in

failure to consume healthy foods. The result is that the body does not have the

vitamins and minerals it needs to function properly. Additionally, drugs and alcohol

preclude our bodies from properly breaking down and absorbing nutrients. This

results in a wide variety of undesirable health problems, such as constipation,

diarrhea, gastrointestinal disorders, poor appetite, and an inability to properly digest

foods.

Finding the Right Treatment Center

Although there are plenty of Florida drug rehab centers, Into Action stands out. This

is because Into Action’s dietician Karen Gaucci can provide clients with the

professional advice they need to make poor health a thing of the past. As

an individual recovers from the psychological and physiological aspects of

addiction, Gaucci will discuss the menu to ensure that the client is eating the types

of foods that will facilitate health. Additionally, Into Action Treatment will offer

catering services that suit each client’s needs. We can work with any dietary type,

including vegetarians and those with specific allergies. To learn more about how

Into Action facilitates wellness through its nutrition and addiction recovery, view our

dietician Karen Gauchi’s video on the subject at www.IntoActionTreatment.com.
