Nutritional Support for Substance Abuse Recovery

I believe nutrition is often the forgotten element for substance abuse recovery. Statistically, relapse rates in substance addiction is very high. However, treatment centers that supply nutritional support have better success rates. Why? Because they are treating the body as a whole. Supporting the body physically is just as important as supporting the emotional and mental health. They are all connected and need to be addressed in the recovery process. In fact, our moods can even give us a huge clue as to why we reach for certain substances.
