Drug Rehab – What Are Your Options

Options for drug rehab unveiled for the U.S. There are many different types of addictions out there.

Depending on what type of addiction you or your loved one is dealing with will depend on what type of treatment you are going to want to get. For example if you are addicted to alcohol you are going to want to go to an alcoholism treatment center. If you are dealing with a drug problem you are going to want to get help from a Drug Rehab facility.

There are a variety of different drugs that one can be addicted to. Not only can people get addicted to illegal drugs but also prescription drugs. More and more often it is occurring that people are getting addicted to prescription drugs because they can get them more often from their doctors.

Some people don’t even realize that they are addicted until it is too late. Some people get addicted by accident. For example they have a variety of surgeries one after another for one thing or another that causes them to be on prescription drugs for a long period of time.

Things that family members might start noticing are that your loved one keeps more to them self. They stop doing the things they use to love doing. They don’t hang out with friends anymore. They might start hanging out with people you would rather not have them hang out with. They start lying about things or making excuses for their behavior. They may also start acting sick a lot or saying they are in pain all of the time. The reason for this is so they can get prescription drugs from the doctor.

If you are seeing these signs or realize that you are doing these things yourself it might be time that you start looking into what is going on in yours or your loved ones life. This will help you to determine if there is a drug problem or not. In some circumstances the person that is being accused of having an addiction problem will not come out and admit that they have a problem. If this happens then you will probably need to get some more people involved and try to get down to what exactly is going on.

Once you have decided to get your loved one some help you will want to make sure that you look into all of your options. You will want to think about the pros and cons of every option available to you. You will want to make sure that you take into account how your loved one might react if they have to be put in a drug rehab facility. When you are looking at different drug rehab facilities you will want to make sure that you look at every aspect of what is involved. You will want to look at the different facilities and what type of staffing and activities they involve. You will want to look at where they are located at. Even if they are located in another state than which you live. Getting some one that has an addiction out of their own comfort zone may be a good thing depending on the circumstances. The reason for this is they might take it as they are starting over fresh. They may feel more like they are starting over new if they are not in their normal surroundings.

These are just some of the different things that you will want to take into consideration. When you are looking into taking the first step make sure that you really do some research about what type of help is out there beyond what you can do at home. Make sure that you get all of your questions answered.

The Wöhrle Dental Implant Clinic of Newport Beach California

Name of Practice/ Location

The Wöhrle Dental Implant Clinic delivers unprecedented patient care and convenience by offering all aspects of implant therapy in one cutting edge facility. While typical implant dentistry involves patients traveling back and forth between specialty and/or general practice offices, The Wöhrle Clinics are staffed by doctors encompassing skills in implant surgery, implant prosthodontics and implant laboratory technology. Additionally, the Wöhrle Dental Implant Clinic comprises a state-of-the-art office with CAT scanning and computer guided surgical technology onsite. Minimally invasive techniques, based on computer guided surgery, are routinely performed for better outcome and patient comfort.

Equipment & Technology

iCAT
The volumetric images obtained by the iCAT are high-resolution, three-dimensional views of the patient’s anatomy. In the Clinic, low radiation and fast turnover are extremely important for a routine application prior to any implant placement. From initial scan to discussing treatment options with the patient typically takes less than 2 minutes. At that point, I present the findings to the patient and present different treatment options with confidence. Critical information such as available osseous height and width, proximity to vital structures and adjacent teeth and potential need for grafting procedures are easily visualized by experienced users. In addition, the data collected will be used later for the virtual surgery within the NobelGuide software.

NobelGuide and Procera
Using NobelGuide enables me to diagnose and treatment plan every patient in a most efficient and predictable way. Once diagnostic appliances have been fabricated, the CAT-scan is used to place the implants in a virtual environment. Based on this information, a surgical template is fabricated, which transfers the virtual planning exactly to the patient’s anatomy, and implants can be delivered precisely, when indicated in a flapless approach. Simultaneously, interims restorations can be prefabricated and placed at the time of implant installation.

Once soft- and hard tissue remodeling has occurred, final impressions are taken. Restorations are completed using the Procera system, in either zirconia, alumina, or titanium, depending upon the patient’s needs and desires. Studies have shown that the marginal fit and strength of these restorations is superior to anything else on the market; in addition, the aesthetic outcome satisfies even the most critical patient.

Mac practice / Apple Computers
I have been a Mac aficionado since the introduction of the first Apple Macintosh. In a dental practice, it was hard to incorporate the Mac as most of the software was designed to run on PCs. We had a split system, PC for office administrative aspects, Macs for patient education, slide collection and organization, and for the preparation of lectures. Of course, any videos we took were handled on the Mac side as well. Then we switched our office administration software to MacPrcatice DDS, which was developed specifically for Mac OS X. Since then, we have eliminated most of our PCs, and most of the problems have gone away along with the PCs. All operatories, surgical suites, the treatment plan room, the front and back offices, all have their own Apple computers, and all share the same network. The support we receive from MacPrcatice is outstanding, and new developments keep on coming, like the iPhone interface, allowing me to check either the schedule, patient records or anything else that is documented in the system from any place in the world. The biggest advantage of using this system is the user friendliness that Macs are known for. With minimal training, motivated staff members can learn the intricacies of the system within a very short time.

Binocular Loupes
Magnification in dentistry is an absolute must – the first step in quality control. Since the beginning of my training in dentistry I am used to work with magnification, either at the bench or in the operatory. The right combination of comfortable glasses with adequate magnification and depth of field is hard to find among the many manufacturers. In addition, a headlight is needed in most cases where direct overhead light is either blocked or not in the same long axis. Using the most advanced combination of loupes and headlight, the Heine 3S unplugged, has made it easier for me to routinely see better, and thus being able to deliver better quality of care to my patients, all without any cable hanging off my back.
