Knowing the eating habits of the new patients is usually the first topics discussed when they arrive at our facility. People in-charge in this facility wants to verify if the patients have gained weight or lose weight at the time they were hooked up on the drugs or alcohol.
It is usually the case where those who are drug addicts and alcoholics don't care if they are eating three meals a day or not. They are more concern about when they are going to get their next hit or booze. Most often than not they are malnourished.
When the person with addiction is malnourished, he is prone to depression. Now to alleviate their misery, the more they resort to the addictive substance to temporarily overcome their condition. Giving them the feeling of euphoria that the drug or alcohol produces.
It is adviced that to break from addiction and alcoholism, the body must be detoxified and cleaned from the addictive substance. It is called a drug detox. However, in as much as there is a need for cleansing the body from the toxic substance brought about by drugs and alcohol, feeding the body is also an essential step in the detoxification process.
The body needs to function smoothly again and slowly ward off the toxic substance in the body. Moreover, this is achieved thru proper diet. Here at THE RECOVERY VILLAGE we serve favorable menus for the speedy recovery of drug dependents and alcoholics who have
decided to have a second chance and live in harmony with their loved ones again.

4 POTATO POWER
Most alcoholics and drug addicts crave for sugar. However, instead of giving them refined sugar, complex carbohydrates should be given to them. Potatoes convert into complex carbohydrates, and the glucose slowly released into the body. As compared with refined sugar that causes blood sugar to rocket high and then suddenly crashes. This process helps them minimize cravings.
