G&G Holistic Treatment Program Uses Results from Laboratory Tests to Determine Treatment Options

Oftentimes, a person who suffers from a drug or alcohol addiction has many health problems. These can include, but are not limited to, such things as malnutrition from not eating properly, breakdown of the skin and mucous membranes, problems with oral health, and disease.

 

Even if the person is not currently showing signs of a specific illness or condition, it is still often necessary for a person to undergo medical tests before beginning substance abuse treatment. When this testing can be done at the same facility in which a person is undergoing rehabilitation, it makes it much easier on everyone involved in the patient’s care.

 

G&G Holistic Treatment Program facilities are designed to where medical tests, such as a full blood work-up, can be performed. The medical staff at the center draw the blood, obtain the results of the sample, and report back to both the patient and others who will be involved in the patient’s alcohol abuse treatment. In this way, determinations can be made as to what medical treatment may be necessary before and/or during the substance abuse treatment.

 

The testing and interpretation of the results are performed by the Medical Director, the two psychiatrists, as well as the registered nurse who remains on site in a full-time capacity. Patients entering G&G Holistic Treatment Program can be assured that they are being treated by competent medical personnel, who will explain their findings and make sure that everything is understood.

 

Once the physical aspect of the holistic view under which G&G Holistic Treatment Program functions has been attended to, then the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects-which are as important as the physical for a patient’s successful treatment process-can be concentrated on. Substance abuse treatment can then begin in earnest, because all of the patient’s being is ready to accept the things needed to break the addiction cycle. Alcohol abuse treatment will also more successful once the patient is fully ready to continue the treatment process.
