When I was out in California I visited and spent a couple of days at a center that is unlike any other in the United States and perhaps the world. As far as I can tell they are the only facility in the United States that uses state of the art nutritional and lifestyle management to help people withdraw safely. They also have an awesome inpatient treatment with peer support. There is a structured program with group therapy of various kinds, yoga, acupuncture, body work, individual attention, a sauna for further detoxing after withdrawal is complete and lots of fun activities around wonderful San Francisco. I was very impressed. The people who run it are delightful and dedicated. And they are all like us. They have stories like us and have overcome drugs.
I’ve agreed to help promote the program and may someday help develop it further by actually working in California for a while. I want to bring this healing “medicine” (it is all diet, nutrition and lifestyle) to as many people as possible.
Extensive testing is available so that the root cause of the problem can be found.
This program is not appropriate for everyone. If you would like to talk to me about whether this program might be useful to you contact me by email at giannakali (at) gmail (dot) com
I will call you and speak to you if you are interested.
