Do You Know About These Nutritional Supplements That Provide Natural Pain Relief?

Lakeworth FL 8/8/2012 2:50:00 AM

Many patients who enter drug treatment centers for pain pill addiction do not consider themselves addicts. After all, they began using opiate/opioid medications to manage legitimate pain, and found themselves dependent on these drugs after their body developed a tolerance. The biggest problem these patients face is that once their body develops a tolerance, they cannot find pain relief, no matter how many pills they take. Their bodies work adversely against what the pain pills were meant to do in the first place. This reaction, known as negative feedback, takes its toll on the mind, body, and spirit of these individuals.

Many people addicted to pain pills seek help to live pain free and drug free by going to drug rehabs that specialize in natural means to combating pain. These drug treatment centers specialize in helping patients addicted to pain medication learn to live pain free without the use of harmful, addictive pills. These specialized drug rehabs have found nutritional supplements to be key elements in the process. Changes in diet and dietary supplements can help patients in drug rehabs discover healthy alternatives to maintaining healthy pain thresholds.

Many drug rehabs suggest certain nutritional supplements to provide pain relief. Nutritional therapies often have less side effects than pharmaceutical remedies for pain. However, some supplements can be harmful, based on individual health concerns. Patients at drug treatment centers can benefit from learning the proper, individualized nutritional pain relief strategy from addiction and nutrition experts.

Some supplements that are used by these experts to help relieve pain are: vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and others. The right nutritional supplements can provide a defense against tissue inflammation, which can cause a painful response. Essential fatty acids also have great benefits for pain recovery. Omega 3 and Omega 6 regulate immune and inflammatory responses. Current research suggests that adding these fatty acids can prevent arthritis.

Unsaturated fatty acids also can help with pain recovery. Drug rehab centers suggest gamma linolenic acid(GLA). GLA naturally comes from plant seed oils. This unsaturated fatty acid also helps with arthritis and inflammation. GLA decreases joint stiffness, pain and swelling.

There is hope for people who have accidentally become addicted to pain medications, simply because they need relief from chronic pain. Many drug treatment centers provide alternatives to the addictive cycle of pain pills. Nutritional counseling is just one method of treatment for pain pill addicts who are searching for a healthy way to live pain free.
