Doctor Sponagle for Florida Detox

Welcome

Have you been diagnosed 'drug addict' or 'alcoholic'? You have been misdiagnosed! Many well meaning, but scientifically unaware addiction treatment centers still believe that alcoholism and drug addiction are primary diseases. They are not!

'Drug Addiction', 'Alcoholism', these are symptoms, not diagnoses. Your substance abuse issues are derived from your attempt to balance your brain's chemistry and electrical activity. You should be relieved to know that your psychological craving for drugs or alcohol is actually a biochemical craving, not a character flaw. You have found a drug that temporarily makes you "feel more normal".

When we optimize your brain chemistry and correct your hormonal and nutritional deficiencies, you will no longer experience a 'trigger'. Our clinical experience in treating over 5,500 addicted patients has proven that the trigger is biochemical in nature. When we normalize brain chemistry and function, the alcohol, cocaine or Oxycontin is no longer appealing, as the biochemical craving is erased. Our patients can look at a glass of vodka or an 80 mg Oxycontin and experience no trigger.

Patient Story: Susan - Alcoholism, Hormonal Imbalance
Susan, a 21 year old female, first came to see me with her mother. When I met Susan she was drinking 2 liters of vodka per day, consuming 1000 mg of OxyContin per day, and averaging 20 mg of Xanax per day. Susan’s history revealed that between the ages of 12 and 21 Susan had attended eight $30,000/ day rehabilitation programs. Her family had already spent well over $240,000 on her addiction treatments. Sadly, the addiction centers that Susan had attended did not recognize the biochemical aspects of her chemical dependency. The only diagnoses Susan received from the multiple treatment centers were ‘drug addict’ and ‘alcoholic’. Susan told me she began drinking at age 12, initially raiding the family’s liquor cabinet, to calm her anxiety (her anxious brain). Upon further questioning, Susan denied having any anxiety issues prior to age 12. While reviewing Susan’s history I discovered...

Dr. Rick Sponaugle was a recent guest speaker at the National Football League retired players conference held in Las Vegas. His presentation focused on brain chemistry and "brain pain," the brain's increased sensitivity to incoming electrical pain signals from the knee or hip. Dr. Sponaugle explained the biochemical mechanism by which long term use of pain pills, Vicodin or Oxycontin, eventually caused the football players to "feel more pain", greater intensity of pain than they initially experienced following their knee or back injury. The phenomenon of opiate pain pills causing increased pain is called 'hyperalgesia'.

Dr. Sponaugle's research at Florida Detox and Wellness Institute demonstrates that Oxycontin like medication causes severe suppression of the brain's pituitary function. The role of the brain's pituitary gland is to release hormones that 'turn on' or stimulate other important glands such as the thyroid, adrenal glands and the gonads in both genders (ovaries and testicles).

The opiate induced suppression of the brain's hypothalamus and pituitary gland causes a 'shut down' of the thyroid, adrenal glands and the testicles/ovaries. Dr. Sponaugle's research has proven that opioid medications can cause severe deficiencies of more than twenty essential hormones...
