Dear Leslie,
While we have not engaged in "first-person" experimental research
in this area....ourselves a, sometimes, associate research group has.
They revealed to us that the most effective protocol for assisting
recovering drug addicts and alcoholics demonstrated to be a three point
program involving, hypnosis (from capable professionals); physical
isolation (e.g. far out in the countryside, miles from ANY large city or
town); systemic health support based upon dietary
improvements/supplements; availablity of group therapy involving other
recovering addicts.....utilized in concert.
They opined that the two most critical factors were the "dedication
of purpose" of the addicted person, plus their reaction/adaptation to
the first 7 days of isolation from the addictive substance/social
environment. Their recidivism rate was stated to be less than 20% over
the immediate 2 years following completion of their program. While the
exact times of release varied, 45 days was the mean.
This group no longer performs such activites (stopped in late 1999),
although they were quite successful and the demand for their services
grew to very large proportions. The principal reason they decided to
suspend this program was that it grew to such an enormous extent that
the bulk of their "primary" experimental medical research activities was
being threatened through the siphoning-off of key personnel and
resources....to a degree demanding their exercising a choice between
this, single activity, and
their more "broad-based" experimental researches.
I make mention of their activities merely to state the type of
protocols they blended for their more successful results.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.

I was wondering if anyone knew procedures and results
on recovering drug addicts and alcoholics. Mainly
prescription pain pills (Lorcet 10/650) which has done
more damage that anything else I know. Thanks, [email protected]
