ADDICTION Get Relief Addiction is a brain disease. Addiction is not a lack of willpower or a moral failing. As with any disease, treatment is necessary. Without treatment, the disease will continue to progress.

ExecuCare Addiction Recovery Center Implements a medical treatment that administers amino acid formulas for addiction recovery. All chemical dependencies respond to the treatment with minimal withdrawal. At the end of 10 days, our patient is no longer physically addicted. We understand addiction.
