Addictions are a Disease of the
Brain Studies have shown that
addictions may be the result of nutritional
deficiencies, biochemical imbalances, pre-existing
medical conditions and genetics. If these core
issues are not dealt with during the recovery process,
there is a significantly higher percentage of relapse
and an unrelenting downward spiral of self-destructive
behavior. |

Dual
Diagnosis: Courage to Change assists with
the identification of past or present co
occurring DO's and provides the appropriate modality and
coping skills for the mental health disorder. Clients
will be referred to a mental health provider on as needed
basis for additional assessment and/or further medical and
pyschological needs. The C2C professional staff is
knowledgeable and equipped with the skills to provide
individual and group counseling that address co occurring
issues.
Many people are just
beginning to understand that addicts are trapped by the
mechanisms of their brain. Healing the brain is the first step
in becoming a healthy functioning adult - it is like
stepping out into the world with a new perspective on life.
Self-destructive behaviors are replaced with positive
responses and repairing the client's personal and professional
life can begin. These techniques are also beneficial for co occurring
issues.
State of the Science
Program: Courage to Change has developed a
holistic state of the science program based on cutting-edge
research conducted by the National Institute on Drug Abuse
(NIDA) Researchers at NIDA understand that even though there
are a multitude of underlying reasons for the cause of
addictions, the programs that are the most successful focus on
neurotransmitter repair. As a part of the recovery program
Courage to Change uses nutriceuticals, or whole food amino
acids supplements to repair the communication pathways in the
brain. The brain repair modality is used in conjunction with
traditional therapies resulting in a sober life free of brain
driven compulsive behaviors. This holistic approach to body,
mind and spirit healing makes Courage to Change one of the
most innovative and effective recovery programs in the world.
