Addiction treatment programs that include good nutrition give their clients a better chance at long-term recovery. A healthy diet can also help a person struggling with addiction deal with some of the challenges of early treatment stages.
By the time an addict decides to seek out help, however, healthy eating can seem like a low priority. People seeking professional treatment to combat addiction are often in physical or psychological crisis, sometimes requiring immediate medical interventions. But many of these issues are not caused by the substances themselves. Substance abuse can lead to poor nutritional habits. Poor nutrition can also be an underlying cause of addiction. For someone battling addiction, an unhealthy diet can make the treatment process more difficult, and true recovery impossible.
