TREATMENT OF COCAINE ADDICTION
Cocaine is a h ighly addict ive st imulat ing substance that re leases an
excess ive amount of dopamine upon interact ing with the centra l nervous
system of the body. Due to i ts intense on the structure of the bra in the
dopamine i t re leases , cocaine is extremely addict ive and dangerous.
Studies on cocaine have shown that the excess dopamine blocks the
pathways and damages bra in ce l ls and t issues even after just a few uses.
The l is t of harms that cocaine causes is very long and inc ludes headaches,
movement d isorders , paranoia , se izures , and death in the case of an
overdose. When an indiv idual is unable to qui t the use of cocaine even
under the ef fect of these consequences, th is indiv idual ly becomes
dependent on cocaine.

WHAT IS ALCOHOL & DRUG
DETOXIFICATION (DETOX)
Drug or a lcohol detoxi f icat ion, or ‘detox ‘ , i s the f i rst step taken before
enter ing treatment at THE BALANCE, detox is for c l ients present ing with
drug and a lcohol dependency. Detox is a medical procedure and an
assessment process , which requires an inpat ient admiss ion to a pr ivate
hospi ta l .
The in i t ia l procedure takes p lace to stabi l ize the pat ient , a f ter which they
are then able to move on to comprehensive treatment . Having a detox
prevents some of the most intense and unpleasant symptoms which can
often be a resul t of wi thdrawal . Detoxing and can help you to become
abst inent f rom drugs and a lcohol .
Af ter stabi l izat ion, the focus of detox shi f ts to monitor ing and support ing
var ious processes with in the body; as i t r ids i tse l f of the drug.
I t ’ s important to note that a detox is not considered a whole treatment for
a lcohol or drug addict ion. Detox a lone might help a person to stop abusing
drugs and a lcohol in the short term, but wi thout fo l low-up care , medical
nutr i t ional and therapeut ic work , the r isk of re lapse into problemat ic use
again is h ighly l ike ly .
C l ients benef i t at THE BALANCE from a combinat ion of psychotherapeut ic ,
nutr i t ional and medical t reatment as part of the ongoing treatment post
detoxi f icat ion. This is known as ́hol ist ic ́ t reatment and recognizes that a l l
areas of a person ’s l i fe need attent ion to regain heal th and wel lbeing.

DETOX PROCEDURES
Pat ients who opt for a medical detox stop tak ing a l l substances and a lcohol .
As they exper ience withdrawal symptoms, a short- term medicat ion plan for
th is detox stage might require them to take certa in medicat ions for a
l imited per iod to ease discomfort .
For example , one common impact f rom drug and a lcohol wi thdrawal is
d isturbed s leep, so you may be prescr ibed s leep medicat ion, for a short
per iod, to help the phys io logica l system return to some level of balance. I t
is important a lso to note that long terms heal thy re laxed s leep can take
months to return based on other psychologica l and phys ica l issues.
Another example is i f someone exper iences bone aches or muscle pains as
a resul t of wi thdrawal . In such cases , you may be of fered temporary pain
re l ief . Control led medicat ions are avai lable 24/7 to ensure pat ients have
what is needed to get through the discomfort of detox as quick ly as
poss ib le . Pat ience detoxing from alcohol are commonly g iven
benzodiazepines on a regular schedule or as symptoms ar ise. These drugs
can treat or prevent se izures and del i r ium and aren ’ t dangerous to take.
However , these medicat ions are not to be taken long-term; due to their
cross-to lerance with a lcohol , they can ass ist you in safe ly detoxing from
alcohol .
To treat the use of opio id drugs such as heroin and prescr ipt ion paink i l lers ,
pat ients may be g iven the opt ion to take longer-term medicat ions. For
example , us ing methadone or the drug combinat ion buprenorphine
(Subutex) and naloxone (Suboxone) to stop the more unpleasant wi thdrawal
symptoms. Over t ime, and under medica l superv is ion, the dosage is lowered
unt i l the pat ient is drug- f ree.
Detoxi f icat ion from both drug and a lcohol dependencies are indiv idual and
based on the pat ients present ing heal th condit ion, sever i ty and re lat ive
per iod of dependency. The amount of t ime that a pat ient spends in hospita l
for detox wi l l a lso vary based on a c l ient ’s heal th , age, sex and other
indiv idual var iables . Typica l ly , a detox takes between 2 to 5 days before a
pat ient can be safe ly d ischarged but may take longer in more extreme
cases. The main factor is that i t takes p lace in a hospita l and under the
superv is ion of a medica l team, to ensure your safety and comfort .

MEDICAL TREATMENT
AT THE BALANCE
At THE BALANCE we of fer c l ients a hol ist ic approach to phys ica l and mental
heal th care. The term ́hol ist ic ́ means that our program incorporates a l l
aspects of a person l i fe and recognizes that each part of us is int imately
interconnected to a ́whole ́ so in terms of heal th care , i t recognizes that a l l
areas of a person ’s l i fe need attent ion, to impact on the indiv idual . This
incorporates our model of Mind, Body and L i fe .
Hol ist ic medic ine (a lso known as phys io logica l regulat ing medic ine and
Bio logica l Medic ine) treats the whole person. The pat ient ’s symptoms are
a lways considered to be the outward express ion of an under ly ing
dysfunct ion that can be remedied by st imulat ing the body ’s regulatory
forces. We search for the root causes of the pat ient ’s d isease to g ive the
body a chance to heal i tse l f . This is why we g ive top pr ior i ty to improving
the pat ient ’s general metabol ism, together wi th detoxi f icat ion, pur i f icat ion
and the latest methods of immune - st imulat ion, as wel l as other st imulat ing
therapies .
THE BALANCE bio logica l medic ine a ims at strengthening the whole so that
d iseases and suscept ib i l i ty to d isease can be overcome by the pat ient ’s
immune system and heal ing process. For th is reason, our doctors ut i l i ze
'suppress ive ' medic ines only dur ing t imes of emergency , and not for
chronic care management , because th is type of medic ine is most ef fect ive
in acute s i tuat ions. We are a lso s lower to recommend certa in operat ions ,
preferr ing f i rst to apply our hol ist ic therapy concept .
As our pat ient , you are committ ing to your heal th. With your cooperat ion
and THE BALANCE staf f ’ s input of exper ience and know-how, suscept ib i l i t ies
can be detected, and the course of the disease reversed. I t is important to
note that our doctors have convent ional medical degrees and specia l ized
tra in ing in Bio logica l Medic ine, and in certa in cases , convent ional and
hol ist ic treatments wi l l be integrated.
