Supplements to Overcome Addiction At Home
Many addiction rehab facilities use talk therapy to unpack these past traumas, but without adequate nutrition to help you access your current present-tense strengths, this “unpacking” may not allow you to fully release the previous trauma. Rather, you just talk about it and dredge up the past, without ever dealing fully with the unconscious mind and what it has to say. Psychologists and psychiatrists often prescribe synthetic anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medications to patients that slowly lose their effectiveness over time because they’re synthetic and their unnatural chemical configurations affects the brain similarly to addictive drugs (where they never quite quench the brain’s actual needs and the brain eventually develops a tolerance to them).
To release past trauma you don't need to talk with a therapist. In fact, you may no longer have full access consciously to the memories or unconscious artifacts that are providing impetus to your addiction. By taking the appropriate nutritional supplements that actually provide your brain with the exact nutrients it needs while working with practitioners and techniques to access unconscious levels of awareness for healing, you can take control of your life and overcome any addiction. One of the most important amino acid supplements for addiction is L-Tyrosine which should be taken at a dose of no less than 9000 mg daily (about 2250 mg every 4-6 hours). Take note of your first dose and wait for 18-24 hours before you decide whether you feel its effect or not. Take high-dose B-complex vitamins along with the L-Tyrosine so that the body can process the amino acids.
Be aware that amino acids and nutrient supplements will NOT:
- Change your relationships without you putting effort and intention into making changes
- Force you to stop using an object of addiction like meth, alcohol, nicotine, social media or your smartphone. You still have put effort into quitting your addiction.
- Make changes in your life without your conscious decision and personal volition to make those changes.

These supplements WILL:- Give you the mind-fuel you need to think clearly about your daily decisions.
- Give you the opportunity to calmly work through past trauma.
- Give you the opportunity to change negative habits.
- Make it easier for your conscious and unconscious minds to work together to accomplish the conscious goals that you set for yourself.
- Significantly reduce the amount of physical and emotional pain that you feel during the withdrawal process from the object of your addiction.

Before we further with this discussion, I should note that, the amino acid precursor to dopamine known as L-Dopa (the natural amino acid, not the pharmaceutical drug which is a completely different thing) which is found in high levels in fava beans and the velvet bean (known as Mucuna pruriens) has the same general effect on the body as the amino acid L-Tyrosine except people can feel the effects of Mucuna pruriens or an L-Dopa supplement within 4 hours of taking it (versus 18-24 hours for L-Tyrosine).
Once you begin treatment with L-Tyrosine, Mucuna pruriens, or L-Dopa supplements and the B vitamins, it's important to simultaneously begin to use some form of trauma-informed therapy to release trauma from the autonomic nervous system. This is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT because once you begin this natural addiction treatment to avoid withdrawal symptoms, your dopamine receptors will begin to regrow. Regrowth of the receptors, in turn, facilitates the release of trauma that is stored in the autonomic nervous system. Most people who have an addiction are actually engaging with an addictive substance or object as a form of self-medication to try to off-load the trauma from the autonomic nervous system, but addictive objects and substances get in the way of releasing trauma, a process that begins through the dopaminergic system. Addiction causes dopamine receptors to either close or get destroyed and then they have to regrow over the course of about 5 months with amino acid treatment.
To begin working to release trauma related to addiction, consider any of the following mind-body treatments that do not involve any form of talk therapy. Indeed, talk therapy is only useful in the form of integrative psychotherapy using one of the sacred medicines like psilocybin or Ayahuasca.

When you decide that you're ready to overcome addiction, you don't have to grit your teeth and use willpower to address your issues. In fact, that's really not how addiction recovery works. When you're ready, there's a system in place that works very well to reduce withdrawal symptoms to manageable levels while you begin to release trauma using ancient sacred medicines or cutting-edge trauma-informed therapies like the DreamLight.app, Internal Family Systems Therapy, craniosacral therapy, or EMDR.

What to Expect During Recovery Using This Protocol: The decision to quit an addiction is yours. You will consciously have to seek out treatments that work with the unconscious mind. You will consciously have to decide to take your amino acid and nutrient supplements at regular intervals throughout the day for at least 6 months, but they work quickly and the vast majority of people who engage with trauma-informed therapy at the same time as taking amino acid supplements notice the change quickly. These supplements will not hijack your personal volition to make whatever changes you desire to make in your life. They will, however, interrupt the addiction process on a biochemical level in your brain, giving you an opportunity to make new decisions and create different, healthy habits for yourself. Essentially, the nutrients and the trauma-informed therapies will give you back to yourself by removing a stone or two from the burden that you feel like you're carrying. You'll feel the load get lighter with each dose of these nutrients, but it's vital that you work to release trauma simultaneously. Please contact us to work with us through health coaching to help you set a course for yourself so that you can understand how your body and your mind are reacting to trauma to maintain your addiction. Once you understand what is happening in your mind and your body (via the autonomic nervous system), you'll be empowered to finally get control over your life.
As testament to what I’m saying, throughout the world, the use of trance states is ubiquitous for healing. Trance states (which work with the unconscious mind) is the most widely used healing system that has existed in all cultures at one time or another. Today, trance states have been repurposed and are used in more westernized settings in forms like hypnotherapy or breathwork.
No matter what addiction you’re suffering from, if you’ve realized that you have a problem and you’re ready to make a change, the recipe for making big changes can happen quickly and often they are elegantly simple:
- Take the proper nutrients and amino acid supplements
- Eat a healthy anti-addiction diet
- Address unconscious issues such as past traumas using tried-and-true methods of doing therapies with the unconscious mind that we’ve listed at this site.
- Create boundaries to make it easier for you to avoid the object of your addiction.
The addiction-related posts at this site were designed to help you understand how to take control over your life by creating proper boundaries with the object of your addiction, by caring for your physical body and your mind, and by accessing the power of the unconscious mind to reclaim your personal power.
Nutrients and amino acids help you:
- Avoid the painful physical withdrawal symptoms of addiction
- Avoid the emotional and withdrawal symptoms of addiction
- Avoid obsessive thinking associated with addiction

Once you have control over your mind again, the choices you make are yours. We recommend that you choose one or more therapies to access the unconscious mind during the first month of your anti-addiction therapy for best results. And you can mentally start the process of ending your addiction by making a plan for yourself (like a schedule that helps guide you through the day) at least 24 hours in advance.UPDATE 2023: Agmatine sulfate is derived from L-arginine, a conditionally essential amino acid. Agmatine is yet another important supplement for drug withdrawals. Agmatine is a neuromodulator that reduces withdrawal symptoms by regulating the brains levels of excitability.
