Recovery from meth abuse involves many different components, including proper organ functioning, assuring mental well being and proper metabolism. A huge factor in the healing process is proper nutrient supply. Nutrients are essential for not only for energy, but also to keep the immune system strong. Recovery from substance abuse results in additional demands on the body -- including metabolism (processing energy), organ function, and mental well being. Restoring liver function for a recovering meth addict is very important.

I have placed a series of articles at The Addicts Attic looking into the comprehensive approach to foods for liver detox and nutriton for recovering meth addicts. Some of which are:

• Cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts.
• Asparagus, avocado, walnuts
• Fish oils
• Foods containing limonene - oranges, tangerines, caraway and dill seeds.

Stimulant use, including use of crack, cocaine, and methamphetamine, can result in a significant decrease in appetite, weight loss, and eventual malnutrition. When one is trying to recover from a meth addiction, nutrition for the recovering meth addict is of utmost importance.
