A biophysical program helps people recover without the application of replacing drugs or medications and uses a holistic approach. The term 'biophysical' means something related to using of physical principles and methods to biological problems.
A biophysical addiction treatment is based on the fact that drug addiction usually includes two main components. There is the physical dependency and cravings for the drugs as well as the mental want for them. This type of drug treatment uses a drug-free approach, and incorporates an effective detoxification method that goes above mere withdrawal and actually eliminates the drug residues that have stored in the body. The result is the addict no longer feels the physical effects of the drugs and he now has a sound body and clear head to address the mental/emotional side through a social education method.
A program that addresses the biophysical aspects of addiction as well as the mental and emotional components in a drug-free manner will ultimately provide the best long term results. But treatment approaches universal focus on the individual's ultimate choice to pursue an alternate course of action.
