ALCOHOL AND DRUG ADDICTION - NATURAL MEDICINE

Alcohol and Drug Addiction - Natural Medicine

Drug and alcohol addiction is a serious problem for tens of millions of people worldwide. Each day, many people struggle to successfully get through the day without reaching for a bottle or drug of choice. Today, people often overlook the benefits and successes of holistic recovery, which often results in greater problems. In reality, many solutions exist for people to safely and healthfully seek assistance through treatment facilities utilizing natural medicine for a pure and clean break from such addictions.

The Hard Truth

Today, more and more people are struggling with alcohol or drug-related problems. A rise in such abuse can be seen across a variety of demographics for a variety of reasons. These issues are affecting everyone from a war veteran experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder to a high-powered executive who recently lost their job. It is estimated that 22 million Americans are dependent upon alcohol, drugs, or both.

Some people believe the widespread availability of drugs and the affordability of alcohol contribute significantly to the severity and seriousness of such addictions. One commonality exists across all demographics which is the increased use of such substances directly contributes to high rates of depression which, many times, ends in suicide. These, often, debilitating addictions do not have to end tragically. Today, more people are utilizing
treatment centers which offer natural medications and methodologies with greater success.

Natural Treatment Centers

A holistic approach may very well provide the greatest opportunity at long-term recovery for any addict, and particularly with individuals who find alternative methodologies ineffective. These approaches and treatments centers focus on the entire well-being of an individual rather than simply their alcohol or drug dependency. They will utilize various methodologies to heal the mind, body, and soul in combination with educating and teaching alcohol and drug-dependent individuals how to overcome their addictions.

People who pursue these types of treatment will never use Western-style medicine. They will learn how ancient remedies and treatments have been healing people naturally for centuries. They will learn how to control their lives through meditation, yoga, tai chi, and other forms of spiritual healing. The end goal is to arm each individual with the tools to lead a healthy and chemical-free life of sobriety.

For people struggling with addiction, it only makes sense that they should approach such a situation as
naturally and organically as possible. Natural medicine and healing is the best way to aid in the clean recovery of any person to ensure their body and mind remains as healthy as possible during this difficult journey. By selecting treatment centers which specialize in natural medicine, addicts exponentially increase their chances for long-term success over other forms of treatment.

OWL MEDICINE by Whitefawn Star





OWL MEDICINE  By Whiterfawn Star
To you…Night Owl
I speak
Send my spirit forth…into the night time
Of my understanding…

Give me night vision
To see into the darkness
Of the Soul…
That I may see the Journey…

You who hold the Wisdom of the Ages
Hear my cry…

I send a voice
To those who walk in darkness
Let there Be Light…



I call the Dawn Star
To Light the Fire
Of my inner lamp…
That we All will see
We come from ONE SOURCE…

Oh, Great Spirit
Give me wings to Soar
On the Winds of Consciousness
Let Wisdom speak
Let me hear Her voice…within my Being…
Rev. Caroline Dawley
