Alcoholics are now offered vitamin therapy. This kind of nutrient therapy offers a lifestyle with little or no tension. It is effective in 80% of the cases. If the family provides the patient with a support system, the recovery rate further increases. Otherwise it falls.
After undergoing nutritional therapy, feelings of depression, fatigue, irritability and craving for alcohol are largely reduced or totally eliminated.
Medical detoxification is also included in the programme. Withdrawal symptoms are toned down with nutritional supports. Doses of vitamin C, magnesium, Calcium, B vitamins and mineral tablets are fed to the patient. They are also given plenty of fluids.
The withdrawal symptoms disappear after several days of detoxification. But for the addiction to end, it may take a few months. Patients need diets and supplements that have a high concentration of nutrients, regular exercise and a good support system.
The diet will have to be one of high protein with a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean meat. Blood sugar should be kept constant. Five small meals a day is considered ideal.
This therapy of nutritional supplements is considered very effective. Patients who have recovered have experienced improvements in energy, moods and thinking processes. There is a lack of craving for alcohol.
