I choose when and how much I drink instead of the mindless consumption that I indulged in for years - Becky Testimonial Video - Scott After hearing LifeBac commercials on the radio for weeks I finally inquired and I'm so happy I did! I was drinking 4 bottles of Jameson a week, and had just been diagnosed with a fatty liver at only 29 years old. I was scared, embarrassed and mostly ashamed. I didn't want to go to AA or rehab but was terrified of withdrawal. I also didn't want to quit drinking completely; I just wanted to drink on weekends or at events like most people can. I now can go during the week without drinking which I never thought I could do without being shakey or really irritated which I never experienced during this program. Honestly I tell everyone about it and I truly feel like LifeBac saved my life. Anyone on the fence about trying it just do it, you will never regret it. Everyone that apart of my care team has been so supportive and helpful. Thank you LifeBac from the bottom of my heart and liver - Morgan T I do have a problem with alcohol. I have tried multiple medications, therapists, abstinence, etc. However, my cravings because of stress, boredom, or even happiness always wore me down to drink again. With patience I kept up my with my LifeBac team and medication management until I reached my effective dose, it may seem like a lot, but my cravings are zero. I have no side effects, I am 30 days sober, and I have saved over $500 this month. - LD I was drinking so much before I went to bed, a bottle of wine then 6-7 hard seltzers after that. With LifeBac I'm down to perhaps 3 hard seltzers mixed with flavored water and have quit taking shots altogether. I don't think about buying alcohol as soon as I get off work. It's great and I feel great! - Jill S I found it took approximately 1 week to start to really feel the effects. Once it did i definitely noticed a difference in my cravings and it was dramatically easier to resist and now make it a choice to drink. I would recommend this program. - Shane I was drinking a minimum of 6 beers a day every day. When I realized it had become my priority, I knew I had to do something. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't hold back and I would drink and the next morning I would feel defeated, depressed, and angry at myself for failing. The idea that medication could help with the cravings... I just couldn't believe it would work, it took months before I decided to sign up, but once I did, my personal coach helped me find the perfect plan tailored to my needs and lifestyle and between the medication and the app it slowly started to happen. I was elated when I realized it had been a week since I've had a drink and I had no desire to drink, that's when I knew I had made the right choice by choosing LifeBac. My family is happy to have me back! It's great to come home, cook and eat dinner as a family; I can feel the difference in my body when I wake up in the morning and at the end of the day I know I could drink if I wanted to but I no longer crave it. From the comfort and privacy of my home, LifeBac helped me take back control of my life and I will always be grateful for that 🙏. - S.T. I was drinking far too much — 4-6 beers a day on during the week and 10-20 per day on the weekends. I was using the alcohol to cover the pain in my life. I tried to quit cold turkey a couple of times. Would last two weeks or so then right back at it. LifeBac didn't label me as an alcoholic, it didn't require me to go completely abstinent, and it allowed me to move at my own speed. Additionally, the support coaches were incredibly inspirational. I went to my favorite bar and grill once they opened back up. Was very excited to go out to eat. I went, I ordered a pound of wings, some fries, and an ICED TEA! I've been there a thousand times over the past 15 years and I have always ordered a Hop Chowda (or multiple). This time I had an iced tea and I didn't even miss my favorite beer. I don't drink at all during the week - all my cravings are gone. I've lost 15 lbs the last month just from cutting back on beer, and I just started working out regularly again. And, the best part, is that I can go out on the weekends and socialize during dinner, an evening party, or even a five hour stint at a bar, and I can have a couple drinks responsibly, and I don't take it too far anymore. I've won! - Dave After about 10 days on LifeBac I could feel a difference, physically and mentally, regarding my desire to drink. For the first time ever I knew I could control my drinking behavior. While I feel I am at my effective dose of medication, I am still progressing. My alcohol cravings are almost zero, my drinking habits and behavior have changed dramatically for the good, I am setting good boundaries for my drinking and I know this will be a life changing benefit for me. LifeBac, with an amazing staff, made this possible😎. Thank you. - Pete Lawrenson In my days before LifeBac, I had NO problem dropping back two large glasses of Jameson on Ice (approx 600ml) a night without batting an eye, every day of the week. The sweet taste of that first drop to reach my tongue was the nectar of the gods. I had tried on my own before to stop drinking, I was able to go a day or two without booze but never more, and I wanted more. The repeated failed attempts to STOP in the past were enough for me to reach out for help, which is often very hard to do. I had never tried a "plan" before; it was always me trying to make it "till the weekend" myself. Now, with a plan, within a week, I thought I could feel a difference in my desire, my need, to consume alcohol. For me (everyone is different); it was within the first two weeks that I felt less of a desire or need to consume alcohol. I quickly transitioned to just drinking on Saturday nights for about 5-6 weeks, before stopping altogether. As of last night, I had reached 90 days without drinking alcohol. This is something I never thought possible. I know that I am not cured of my desire to drink, but I feel as though I have made a great start to a new chapter in my life. As the son of a deceased alcoholic, I see a bright beginning to a healthy sober retirement with my family and friends. - Mo See Our Pricing PRICING -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $249 Billed Monthly -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Online Provider Visits * Medication To Your Door * Personal LifeBac Guide * Personalized Program and Monitoring * Goal Setting and Tracking * Save Money * Get Your Life Back Get Started Today Book your FREE online consultation today!

Learn More OUR PHILOSOPHY Video Link Adi Jaffe, Ph.D. writes in The Abstinence Myth that problem-drinking is a symptom of a larger issue. Drinking helps take the edge off, but leaves unresolved issues behind. As life’s unresolved problems stack up, the drinking keeps up too. Video Link The alcohol treatment industry uses the Jellinek curve to describe the timeline of alcohol addiction and recovery, with hitting rock bottom and abstaining permanently as essential parts of the recovery process. LifeBac helps people who want to cut back their drinking take control before they slide into alcoholism. We're not a rehab or treatment clinic, but a collection of modern, science-based tools to empower people not just to avoid the downward spiral, but to improve their relationships, health, sleep focus and productivity. Take control of your drinking today! See our medications NALTREXONE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naltrexone is an FDA-approved medication that suppresses the pleasurable effects of alcohol and reduces cravings over time. It allows people to either quit or drink moderately without cravings. Like the rest of our program, the goal depends on the individual—each person chooses their end goal. Drinking alters how frequently the brain releases neurotransmitters, which affect how one thinks and feels. Quitting cold turkey leaves people with pleasure deficits that can last for decades and, for some, feel unendurable. That’s why relapses are frequent in abstinence programs, and that’s why we use medication: to counteract the effects of alcohol that cause cravings. Video Link HOW IT WORKS Alcohol cravings are complicated. But if we greatly simplify the process, so far as it is currently understood, it works something like this: When a person drinks, their body releases endorphins (opioid neuropeptides), which makes them feel good. It also triggers the brain’s reward system, which uses dopamine to “communicate” with a complex series of brain processes. Over time, the reward system begins to recognize alcohol as something toward which it should strongly respond. It adjusts accordingly, resulting in alcohol cravings. Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist. It blocks neuroreceptors in the brain from receiving the endorphins that are released when one drinks alcohol. As a result, naltrexone stops the reward system before it even begins. This makes it highly effective as a treatment for AUD. Additionally, it isn’t habit-forming, has few side effects, and is safe to take for long periods when taken appropriately. We create medication plans for each member of LifeBac and monitor their progress so they stay on track with the medication. That, combined with support from our LifeBac Guides, gives each individual a great chance to regain the ability to choose how much they drink. We also offer Baclofen BACLOFEN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Baclofen removes or strongly suppresses cravings for alcohol in 92% of people. These strong cravings are the #1 reason people have difficulty cutting back or quitting drinking. Clinical trials give Baclofen a 50% - 62% success rate returning treatment-resistant alcoholics to low- or medium-risk drinking. 50% of those who succeed using Baclofen go further and quit drinking entirely by choice. The less the person previously drank and the shorter the time, the less medication required. LifeBac gives you the choice of whether you want to drink or not. When you do choose to drink, you’ll feel more satisfied much sooner. The result is significantly fewer drinking days and significantly fewer drinks on those days. Baclofen doesn’t, however, affect the taste of alcohol or the pleasure of drinking — it simply removes the addictive components that lead to overindulgence and allows you to drink in moderation. ALCOHOL CRAVINGS COMPLETELY REMOVED In 2008, Dr. Olivier Ameisen, Weill Cornell Hospital cardiologist and the former first physician to the Prime Minister of France, discovered a solution to his chronic over-drinking after 8 rehab stints and 5000 AA meetings. He experimented on himself using baclofen to markedly decrease the release of dopamine in the reward pathway of the brain, diminishing or suppressing the conditioned response to alcohol. He reported “complete suppression, not just a reduction in cravings; I am indifferent to it.” STUDIES FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA Dr. Anna Rose Childress from the University of Pennsylvania performed experiments on heroin users to assess the efficacy of baclofen (baclofen has been proven in humans to be effective for both alcohol and heroin cravings). Her experiments have shown that cravings result from the cue-triggered activation of the mesolimbic dopamine system, these cues can be so brief that they are outside of conscious awareness, yet produce robust activation within this circuitry. Baclofen is a GABAB receptor agonist that reduces the release of dopamine into this system elicited by alcohol cues and seems to do so at the very earliest onset of the dopamine rush so as to stop the craving from happening. Video Link An Excerpt from the HBO Documentary, "Addiction" THE CURE FOR OVER DRINKING? Doctors in Europe prescribe baclofen as the primary treatment for alcohol misuse. In France alone there are over 10,000 prescribing physicians and more than 300,000 people taking baclofen (from a population ⅙ of the U.S.) for help with alcohol cravings. It is in the process of being approved as the first-line alcohol treatment in Australia after a petition by the Royal Perth Hospital. In the U.S., the FDA has already approved the medication as safe (although originally as a muscle relaxant), it can be prescribed by U.S. physicians “off-label” for alcohol cravings. Unfortunately, only 1% of people seeking help with over-drinking in the U.S. currently receive the assistance of medication. RESULTS FROM CLINICAL TRIALS Clinical trials in Europe have shown 50-62% success allowing treatment-resistant alcoholics to return to low-risk drinking levels or abstinence when using the Ameisen method of titrated (not fixed) dose. These studies also showed that 92% of patients had a noticeable reduction in cravings. Approximately 50% of those who were successful on baclofen decided themselves to quit entirely. Several studies have not been as conclusive with many using flawed assumptions or goals, mostly too low a dose, too short a study, using fixed-dose instead of titration, or measuring only abstinence not achieving low-risk drinking. One study concluded that baclofen was no more effective than placebo, but its results showed both the placebo and Baclofen with a 65% success rate. Video Link Baclofen treatment requires titration (slow dose increase) until cravings are completely removed or controlled (the effective dose) which varies widely between patients dependent on previous drinking habits. There is no necessity to detox or abstain just continue to drink normally. For most people the number of drinks per day will reduce naturally, others describe it as “flicking a switch”. There can be minor side effects including tiredness, nausea, headaches or dizziness, they are usually easily manageable and go away within a few days. This happens mostly at the start. The vast majority of people persist as they pass in a couple of days when they occur, and the benefits of control over drinking far outweigh the temporary unpleasant side effects. The LifeBac app and team manage each individual’s titration process minimizing side effects to deliver a life free of cravings and all the benefits of drinking at low-risk levels. Video Link OTHER BENEFITS Baclofen is processed by the kidneys, not the liver, so it is well-suited for alcohol treatment Clinical trials show that baclofen significantly reduces or removes the effects of alcohol withdrawal. Keep Reading WOMEN AND ALCOHOL USE Between 2002 and 2013, Alcohol Use Disorder increased by 83.7% among women in the United States (NIAAA). In younger age groups, women already drink significantly more than men, and it's having an increasingly visible effect on their overall health. 1 in 6 women admit to having driven drunk in the past year, and 70% are consistently drinking at unsafe levels according to the WHO. A 2018 study found a steep overall rise in the number of alcohol-related ER visits between 2006 and 2014, but the increase was notably greater for women than men. As a society, we often make the mistake of assuming over-drinking to be a male-dominated issue; up until 1961, women in Illinois were legally allowed to buy alcohol at 18 instead of 21, because it was believed that female drinking was never problematic. It's time we abandon these antiquated assumptions and face the truth: women are suffering now more than ever from problem-drinking, and must be supported. ANXIETY AND ALCOHOL USE Anxiety and Alcohol Use Disorder influence and maintain each other in a positive feedback loop. Anxiety often pushes people to drink, and excessive drinking is known to significantly increase anxiety, maintaining and worsening both issues in a "vicious cycle of comorbidity" (NIH: Anxiety and Alcohol Use Disorders). "Hangxiety" is the term coined for the rush of strong anxiety that comes on after a heavy drinking session, often late at night, interrupting sleep and further reinforcing the loop. Baclofen is also used as an anxiolytic (a drug used to reduce anxiety). It works directly on the brain's reward pathways to reduce urges to drink alongside general anxiety, helping to reverse the cycle. Video Link BE MINDFUL ABOUT DRINKING When processes are repeated for years or decades, the habit is tightly wound, it is possible to unwind the habit loop using mindfulness. Practicing mindfulness allows you to step back and see what is happening inside your mind and take action to step in and break the loop. “Habits can be described as automatic behavioral loops, involving triggers, behaviors, and rewards. For example, one may feel stressed (trigger), take a drink or two (behavior), and feel better (reward). When you attain (and, later, anticipate) the reward, your brain releases dopamine in a neural process that lays down a memory of that behavior and helps you learn to execute that behavior next time to attain the reward.” Judson Brewer, Ph.D. OUR MISSION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 TO CHANGE LIVES, SAVE RELATIONSHIPS AND FAMILIES. We built LifeBac to show people with a drinking problem that there is a way out, a way to beat this problem and return to a normal life without the requirement of abstinence or “recovery”. The modern methods of combining medication to remove cravings, with behavior change to rewire habits can help people rebuild their lives, their careers, their health. But our aim is to go further than that, by helping these people return to normal drinking habits and building their lives into something much better than their old view of “normal” we hope to also save many marriages and families. We feel that abundantly more healthy, happy people and better family lives is a worthy goal! 2 TO EMPOWER PEOPLE TO HELP THEMSELVES. LifeBac is designed to turn the alcohol treatment upside down putting the person with the problem at the top, not at the bottom. Give that person all the tools to succeed, the power to choose their own path, their own goals, and how fast or slow they would like to get there. Give them medication so they control their drinking, not the other way around, and access to powerful behavior change programs. This is very different from being at the bottom. Being told they have a disease and they need to succumb and do as they are told is their only hope. For too long people with a drinking problem have been forced to keep their drinking problem secret lest they end up labeled an “alcoholic” and spend the rest of their days abstinent, fighting cravings, and in rehab or AA meetings. 2 TO EMPOWER PEOPLE TO HELP THEMSELVES. 3 TO BRING MODERN EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS INTO THE HOME Why are problem-drinkers still being treated with 1930’s treatments? Who would still go to the dentist if this was the treatment? It’s little wonder only 10% of problem-drinkers seek treatment at all when this is what they expect. Our mission is to bring the very best modern treatments from around the globe and offer them in the privacy of the home or office. A combination of modern effective treatments using the best technology for the best results. No shame, no stigma, no judgment. And let’s remove the shame about talking about alcohol problems now that there are effective treatments. 33% of people confess lying to their doctor about how much they drink for fear of the consequences. Let’s talk about our successes and help more people!
