Herbal and natural medications
Our patients often ask about the natural alternatives to non-steroid and steroidal anti- inflammatory medications. There are a huge variety of natural alternatives and herbal dietary supplements on the market but in our program we are only including natural formulas with a proven clinical effect and low side effect profile (Relora, Sleep Essentials).
Exercise, physical therapy, and chiropractic manipulations, physical modalities- Prescription with exact dosage, type and frequency of procedures for general stamina, strength and flexibility.
Acupuncture, herbal medicine, biofeedback, massage therapy, hypnotherapy and relaxation training. We also use transcranial brain stimulation.
Topical medications and ointments. We use compounding medication, Capsaicin cream, made from red chili pepper, Lidoderm, Flector, Buprenorphine patches.
Invasive procedures (injections): We use minimally invasive procedures like trigger points, tendon sheath, tendon origin injections, Halo injections, etc.
Botox Injections (chemodenervation). We use different neurotoxins for pain control, muscle spasms relaxation and cravings control (Dysport, Myobloc, Xeomin). Botox (BoNT) is a natural bioactive substance, a product of Clostridium botulinum microorganism. BoNT helps to control pain, muscle spasms and assist with mood stabilization and cravings control.
Prolotherapy (rejuvenative injection therapy). Another part of our program is prolotherapy (sclerotherapy) or so called ‘Canadian injections. Prolotherapy is actually a rejuvenating injection therapy that helps to accelerate the collagen synthesis inside impaired ligaments and restores their tendon’s elasticity. This technique helps with pain control, mood stabilization and cravings control.

There are several pharmacological groups of medications that were proven to be useful in the management of mood instability and addiction.
- antidepressants with unique properties such as TCAs (tricyclic antidepressants) and SSRIs
- anticonvulsants also known as antiepileptic medications are medications initially invented to prevent and treat seizure disorders.

Antabuse
- Campral (acamprosate calcium) is a medication approved for the treatment of alcohol dependence or alcoholism in the United States -- approved by the Food and Drug Administration in July 2004 -- but it has been used widely in Europe for many years. More than 1.5 million people have been treated worldwide with Campral
How Does Campral Work?
It is not completely understood exactly how Campral works in the brain to help people maintain alcohol abstinence, but it is believed to restore a chemical balance in the brain that is disrupted by long-term or chronic alcohol abuse. In other words, it helps the brain begin working normally again.
While Antabuse works by making someone sick if they drink alcohol and Naltrexone blocks the "high" people get when drinking, Campral reduces the physical distress and emotional discomfort people usually experience when they quit drinking. According to Forest Laboratories, the distributor the drug in the U.S., Campral reduces sweating, anxiety and sleep disturbances that many experience during the early stages of alcohol abstinence.
How Is Campral Taken?
Campral is prescribed in 333mg time-release tablets that are usually taken three times a day. For some patients, such as those with kidney disease, the standard dose may be adjusted by a physician. Because Campral tablets are time-release, they should be swallowed whole and never crushed, cut or chewed.
Because the side effects of Campral are few and mild and because Campral is not addictive, it is usually prescribed for up to 12 months after ceasing alcohol consumption.
What Are the Side Effects?
Campral was "generally well-tolerated and side effects are usually mild and temporary. They include: Diarrhea, Dizziness, Gas,Dry mouth,Headache, Insomnia, Itching, Joint or muscle pain, Loss of appetite, Vomiting, Sweating, Anxiety or nervousness, Burning, pricking or tingling in arms, legs, hands, or feet, Depression
What Campral Does Not Do
Campral does not help someone quit drinking; it does not control cravings. It helps better tolerate withdrawal symptoms experienced while going through early detoxification from alcohol and drugs. Campral has been shown to reduce sleep disturbances, anxiety and mood swings
How Effective Is Campral?
As with all other medications approved for the treatment of alcohol dependence, Campral is most effective as a part of an overall program of recovery including therapy, counseling and/or support group participation.
Campral
- Naltrexone
Natrexone capsules
- Vivitrol
- Contrave
- Ibogaine
Ibogaine's purported ability to treat substance addiction was discovered in 1962, according to DrugWarFacts.org. A 19-year-old heroin addict, Howard Lotsof, observed with his friends that ibogaine failed to produce the euphoric high they were seeking and instead alleviated the cravings. Over the next six months, he and the majority of his group of friends quit heroin, cocaine and other drugs, which has been attributed to their initial dose of ibogaine. In 1986, Lotsof founded NDA International and began distributing ibogaine to heroin addicts in Holland.
This medication is effective, but expensive, used in combination with other medications.
Natrexone capsules
