Nutrition & Amino Acid Therapy

Fuel the Body. Rebalance the Brain. Support the Soul.

At Beecon Recovery, we don’t just treat addiction — we treat the entire person. And that starts with healing the physical body from the inside out.

Addiction drains the body of essential nutrients, disrupts brain chemistry, and weakens the systems responsible for energy, mood, and motivation. That’s why we’ve integrated Nutrition and Amino Acid Therapy into our treatment model — to help clients restore physical health, repair cognitive function, and accelerate emotional recovery.

Why Nutrition Matters in Addiction Recovery

Substance use — especially long-term or severe use — devastates the body. Most clients enter treatment malnourished, depleted, and chemically unbalanced, which affects everything from sleep and stress response to mood and decision-making.

Increased energy and mental clarity

Better emotional regulation

Fewer cravings and more stable moods

Faster physical healing and immune support

Renewed motivation to engage in recovery

What Is Amino Acid Therapy

Amino acids are the building blocks of neurotransmitters — the chemicals in your brain responsible for mood, motivation, pleasure, and stress response.

Rebuild dopamine, serotonin, GABA, and endorphins

Improve sleep and reduce anxiety

Stabilize energy and improve focus

Reduce cravings and emotional reactivity

Support long-term mental health and cognitive balance
