A New Model of Recovery: Addressing Relapse Differently with Bio-electrode Therapy (BeT)

Addiction recovery has long been guided by the Brain Disease Model, which views substance use disorders (SUDs) as chronic, relapsing brain conditions. While this perspective has helped reduce stigma and encourage treatment, the relapse statistics tell a sobering story:

• Relapse rates for Substance Use Disorder hover between 40% and 60%, even after treatment.

• For opioid addiction, 85–90% of individuals relapse within one year if not given sufficient follow-up care.

• Even with support and medication-assisted treatment (MAT), opioid relapse rates often remain between 40–60%.

• 59% relapse in the first week, and 80% within the first month post-detoxification.

These statistics demand a better model—one that doesn’t rely solely on brain chemistry explanations, behavioral therapy, or pharmaceutical support. We must address what drives relapse at a more systemic and energetic level.

Why We Relapse: Beyond Brain Chemistry

One overlooked but critical cause of relapse is biological imbalance, particularly:

• Hypoglycemia and blood sugar instability

• Electrolyte and pH dysregulation

• Dysregulated electrical signaling in the nervous system

• Chronic pain, inflammation, and emotional dysregulation

• Longstanding cravings for sugar, carbohydrates, stimulants, or opioids

The root is often not just psychological or neurological—it’s electrical and biochemical. Our cells and organs are electrically charged systems, and the addiction process profoundly disrupts those signals. The result? Cravings, impulsive behavior, emotional dysregulation, and a body unable to stabilize itself.

A New Approach: Bio-electrode Therapy (BeT)

Bio-electrode Therapy is an innovative and affordable healing method that uses biocompatible metal electrodes (such as copper and silver) to stimulate the body’s own electrical field and energy flow. By placing these electrodes on strategic acupuncture points—particularly the Jing-Well points of the hands and feet—we engage and restore the body’s natural electromagnetic communication, which plays a critical role in healing, detoxification, pain relief, and emotional regulation.

How BeT Addresses High Relapse Rates

BeT directly supports recovery in ways traditional methods cannot:

• ✅ Stabilizes blood sugar and electrolytes through prolonged low-voltage field therapy

• ✅ Regulates nervous system function, calming cravings and impulsivity

• ✅ Relieves chronic pain without the need for opioids

• ✅ Restores endogenous currents, aiding mood, sleep, and motivation

• ✅ Clears withdrawal symptoms, even in long-term users

• ✅ Improves cellular regeneration and tissue repair, increasing vitality

Unlike short clinic-based interventions or device-dependent methods, BeT allows for continuous self-administered therapy. This makes it ideal for individuals who want a non-invasive, low-cost, and sustainable solution during and after detox.

Food Is Medicine—And So Is Energy

In BeT, we also recognize the critical role of diet in recovery. Sugar and carbohydrate dependence can mimic and even drive addiction patterns. Alcohol, opioids, and nicotine often satisfy metabolic needs for glucose or calming neurotransmitters, but at a long-term cost. BeT addresses the energetic imbalances that underlie these biochemical addictions, while a nourishing, low-glycemic diet supports stable blood sugar and brain function.

In Conclusion

The data tells us that current approaches are not enough. If 40–90% of people are relapsing within the first year, something is missing in our understanding of recovery. BeT offers a new paradigm—not to replace but to complement and enhance other recovery strategies by addressing the root energetic and biological imbalances that sustain addiction.

If you or someone you know is struggling with relapse or stuck in a revolving door of detox and relapse, consider exploring Bio-electrode Therapy. This approach is founded on decades of clinical insight and validated through real-life results from those who’ve walked the hard road of addiction—and found healing.
