HOLISTIC TREATMENT At the beginning of her career, Dr. Ittel worked as an addiction counselor. Her interest is in understanding the interaction between the brain and behavior. In the case of addiction, brain chemistry and function are affected by behavior and vice versa. Dr. Ittel believes addiction is a symptom of root causes that must be addressed through counseling. Drug use has been linked with depression, anxiety and other mental health issues. To reduce the chances of relapse, treating underlying issues is as critical as stopping physical use. Medication assistance helps normalize the client and creates a quieted mindset, which helps them begin to explore the emotional and psychological causes.
