Caffeine Timeline


Treatment for Caffeine Addiction is one of those areas in addiction recovery which still remains unchartered. Its not clear what works. Some people find it easier to just quit all at once. While others including many health professionals feel that reduction in amount of caffeine over a period of time gives the addict the best treatments for ending their caffeine addiction.

What is clear, is the treatment for caffeine addiction needs to incorporate a varied approach. This means nutrition as well as complete cessation of any caffeine whether over a period of time or abruptly. One new treatment is called juice fasting. Followers of this method claim it works with all substances, but the best results have been seen in caffeine addiction.

Of course the more traditional approaches like hypnosis, support groups, therapy and counseling can also be sought after as viable methods in treatment for caffeine addiction. Caffeine’s capacity to make minor physiological changes in the brain, along with its tolerance and withdrawal qualities, mean quite simply that it is an addictive substance—an obvious conclusion. Curiously, there’s scant treatment options available for such a widespread problem:

hypnosis
therapy and counseling
support groups

Caffeine addicts might benefit from the kinds of step-down programs available OTC for smokers. Unfortunately at this time the treatment for caffeine addiction is sparse yet support groups and counseling may be effective.
