Aminokit Labs

I've been through treatments before at other places but nothing really on a personalized level. I think that's what makes them so successful here. It worked for me. more

I feel this has made me be more open, communicative, honest, empathetic, caring person in every area and aspect of my life, and especially more patience and open-mindedness. more

I feel upbeat. Even happy. Had a few thoughts about alcohol, but no real desire to purchase/consume. Sense of relief & more at peace with myself. more

I did not drink, I haven't been this long without a drink in at least ten years. I woke up without pain or wanting to throw up, without guilt, regret, or shame. My face looks better and rested. I work better, feel better. I thought about drinking for a couple seconds, then it was gone. more

The treatment is focused on the physical aspects of addiction, however, there was a fair amount of traditional therapy involved. I do clearly remember that within just a few days of beginning the treatment my cravings were gone, and I could finally focus on a life that had nothing to do with my addiction. more

This is my first substance abuse therapy. This experience is nothing less than a miracle opposed to cold-turkey. I can only say that this treatment has been powerful and very effective. more

I actually have nothing but good things to say. Staff was wonderful and I enjoyed all of the different treatments together - makes the time go by. I have noticed a serious sense of clarity and focus since I started this treatment and my cravings are almost non-existent. more

No cravings for alcohol. Cigarettes started to taste bad & stink. High level of concentration & energy. more

I have to express my deepest gratitude to Aminokit Labs for giving me my life back. I don't think I could've gotten sober without them. Thank you. more

I feel for the first time in over 20 years that I am free. Free from alcohol. And this time there is no wagon to fall off of. Thank you for saving my life. more

I feel a confidence and a feeling of well being that I haven't had for as long as I can remember. Daily life seems no longer to be such an incredible challenge. I have no desire to run to alcohol. I have an inner peace that is very enjoyable. I thought life had to be a frightening experience. more

\r Before coming to The Treatment Centers I spent my life living in relapse, every day I told myself I was going to stop drinking. The IV program cleared my body and mind of the toxins so I could work on the psychological reasons of why I was using alcohol. This program and all its members, especially those who participate in the group therapy, have shown me that I am not alone and there is no reason to be ashamed. The group members and counselors have been the foundation of my sobriety and recovery. This is the first program I have been involved in that I have not been belittled, criticized or looked down upon. This program is designed to BUILD YOU UP, not tear you down.\r more

Over 15 years of taking vicodin and alcohol on a daily basis had brought me to a physical and emotional hell. I had been attending AA daily, working the steps and meeting with my sponsor for 8 months. Emotionally I was healing but physically I was dying. I could not connect thoughts, my short term memory was minimal. I would sleep for 10-12 hours and feel like I never slept. My insides felt like they were SCREAMING! The anxiety was horrifying. I had come to the point of jumping off the deep end and then I found the Treatment Centers. After 10 treatments the screaming inside of me and the anxiety was beginning to subside. For the first time I believed there was hope for physical healing. Thank God for excel treatment. Wow! What a miracle. It takes a lot of ongoing work, going to AA meetings, working with my sponsor, eating right, talking with other recovering alcoholic/addicts and boosters from Excel. I know I'll make it. more

The changes that I have seen in my son since going through the Aminokit program can be classified as nothing but miraculous. I have spent nearly $100,000 on other programs that he both hated and were completely ineffective. I have seen his attitude towards sobriety and, more importantly, his attitude towards life change 180 degrees. I can't tell you what a wonderful transformation this has been. This program has given him a new life and me a new son. He has been transformed back to the great guy I remembered. I never gave up on him, but without this program I was afraid I was going to lose him. I wish he would have gone through the Aminokit amino acids years ago, I'm just happy he found something that REALLY worked! more

Tonight, May 21st, 2011, I will celebrate one year of sobriety with the friends and family I was sure that I had lost forever. I, in my heart of hearts, attribute this past amazing year to the wonderful people at Aminokit Labs and the incredible Aminokit process. For ten years I was either drinking and drugging or completely isolated from reality in a 30 day, 90 day, or even 6 month program. I had completed very expensive programs in Estes Park, Colorado. I had completed ""Slave Labor"" programs in Grand Junction, Colorado. Regardless of their price or how nice the living conditions were, the treatment was basically the same. I had learned the same tools of sobriety and practiced them over and over. Yet, as soon as I was reintroduced to society I found myself worse off than the time before. I NEVER felt able to PHYSICALLY exist without a mind-altering substance. Aminokit was the ONLY place that directly addressed the physical craving that overwhelmed me and overtook my sobriety. I have never experienced a more compassionate and understanding staff. This year has passed by so fast that I wouldn't have even known had the program director not called to check on me the other day. The therapists focused on my specific issues individually. More importantly for me, the individual attention was also focused on the BIOCHEMICAL aspects of my addiction. The constant feeling of needing to have a drink or a drug in me to feel normal was gone within days. I honestly felt like I was breathing for the first time in my life, and that feeling is gone to this day. As for cost, it was on the low end of what I had spent on the programs that simply didn't work. I feel it was priceless. I literally feel I would be dead had I not gone through Aminokit. more

Being through other programs with no lasting results, I found myself at home high and alone. My thoughts were of checking out to relieve myself of my problems, loneliness and shame. Looking for help I got out the phone book and started calling. After several calls with uncaring responses, I saw an ad for Aminokit. I called and spoke with the director. She was willing to see me right away. When I arrived everyone was friendly and caring. Just what I needed. They showed me how addiction works in the brain, told me about the treatment and what it could do for me. When I left it was the best I had felt in as long as I could remember. I hadn't even had a treatment yet. I was comfortable. I had found a safe place! Since completing this program I have gained the skills and tools to overcome my substance abuse. I have gained the confidence and ability to again be successful. more

When I started the program, I was somewhat skeptical about how effective the IVs would be. I had never heard about Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS) or the TGGRS treatment, but when they were explained to me they both made perfect sense. According to the literature I found, RDS is described as, ""The association between certain genes and various behavioral disorders. In molecular genetics, an association refers to a statistically significant incidence of a genetic variant (an allele) among genetically unrelated individuals with a particular disease or condition, compared to a control population. In the course of our work we discovered that the genetic anomaly previously found to be associated with alcoholism is also found with increased frequency among people with other addictive, compulsive or impulsive disorders. The list is long and remarkable-it comprises alcoholism, substance abuse, smoking, compulsive overeating and obesity, attention-deficit disorder, Tourette's Syndrome and pathological gambling."" I had known that my problem was more then just psychological, and I had heard that there was a biological basis of addiction, but no one had ever offered me a way to address this. Before I began the Aminokit program, they explained that the amino acids used in the TGGRS treatment (the IV portion of the program) would help to repair the physical damage that caused my cravings. And IT WORKED! My cravings are gone for the first time that I can remember. This is huge for me. I had been clean for months at a time before, but I always thought about getting high. It's been almost seven months now without cravings and the things that I used to think gave me pleasure during my addiction are just an after-thought. I am a huge fan of Aminokit and the TGGRS IV's. If you have an issue with substance abuse I highly recommend this program. It really does make sense. And it really does work. more

Hello, my name is Aaron. \r In May, 2010 I entered into the Aminokit Treatment program. I was drinking at least twenty drinks a day for the last four years, maintaining a blood alcohol level of .30 to .35 daily. I was physically and mentally addicted to alcohol. I was so sick with withdrawal symptoms that I had to begin each day with a drink just to be able to function normally. \r Clearly as a result of this I had many problems in my life as well, I was not able to participate in family activities for long periods of time without needing to drink. I was working part time and I would still have to call in sick on some days. I was trying to do my best to care for my 7 year old daughter and to be there for her and my wife, but I was unable to be fully functional no matter how much I wanted to be. My parents knew that my drinking had become a problem for everyone but they were not sure how to get help. My wife and my parents found out about the Aminokit program and were planning to get me into the treatment as soon as they returned from a trip that they had planned for months. Unfortunately, my drinking got the best of me and I got a third DUI. \r With all that had happened I still could not curb my drinking on my own and I was still playing Russian roulette with my life. My mom canceled her long awaited trip and she and my wife helped to get me into the program.\r I started the 10 day amino acid drip and it changed my dependence on alcohol, within two days I noticed a decrease in the cravings and withdrawal symptoms. The direct drip helped to calm my nerves and made it possible for me to go without alcohol. I also began to try to decrease some of the stressors in my life and look at solutions to some of them. I felt that suddenly I could have a complete thought about an issue that I was having and then act upon it. My brain chemistry started to normalize and I felt normal without drinking. In conjunction with the amino acid drips I began intensive one on one counseling and even hypnotherapy, which helped me to deal with issues my past and give me the emotional strength I needed to go forward into the unknown world of sobriety. I found myself less and less fearful of the avalanche of problems that had been building in my life, and learned to chip away at them a little at a time. With all that was staring me in the face it would have been easy to run from everything and return to drinking, but the program gave me hope that I could regain my dignity and my life. \r With a third driving under the influence I thought I would end up doing a full year in jail. The Judge was intrigued about the program and did take my progress into consideration during my sentencing. Instead of spending a year in jail I only had to do twenty days in the county jail and I was given the inmate- out mate program for my remaining time. When I was in jail I was allowed to go to the treatment center daily for drip therapy and counseling, which helped me maintain my composure throughout my stay at the county jail. \r I have continued to do the dry amino acid formula in pill form for the last seven months to maintain my sobriety and keep a better mental attitude as I conquer the many challenges that I am facing. I could not deal with the stress in my life very well without them and the amino acids are an essential part of my sobriety.\r If a person wants to begin to change their life for the better and is willing to open their mind to actually feeling better sober, than they did under the influence of drugs or alcohol I recommend that you consider the Aminokit Treatment Centers to help you reach your goal.\r more
