Health deteriorates, morality becomes a thing of the past, families and relationships are destroyed, jobs are lost and broken homes result. And they continue to use to keep the good feelings going no matter what the price. Up until now there has only been 12 step programs and behavioral therapy as it was thought that bad behavior caused all addiction. This is no longer true as the same scientific research that discovered RDS has determined that addiction is a disease and not bad behavior. Nobody grows up to be an addict just like nobody grows up to be a diabetic or have heart problems.
Addiction is a disease that can treated just like diabetes, heart conditions and other diseases.
And just like these diseases the people with RDS need to take responsibility for their disease by getting treatment and doing what it takes to get themselves healthy. The best way to treat addiction is to not treat the addiction but to treat the person who has the addiction. Auriculotherapy uses needle-less acupuncture to balance out the brain and eliminate addiction cravings. Chiropractic treatment balances out the nervous system, reduces stress and helps the RDS person obtain complete health. 12 step programs help the addict to realize they are not alone, while counseling helps them to get there life into a healthy balance.
