Drug Rehab Center Offers Affordable Drug Rehabilitation

Long before health care reform battles between lawmakers ensued, a highly regarded facility in Connecticut addressed one of the very problems that lies at the core of individuals getting the help they need to recover from drug addiction: treatment costs.

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center began its quest to provide innovative, affordable addiction treatment over 12 years ago- and they have succeeded. Affordable costs and innovative treatment plans are why individuals from all over the world continue to seek treatment at this intimate facility. Situated on 39 sprawling acres at the base of a private mountain in the foothills of the Berkshires, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center provides an ideal location for the recovery process to begin.

“The per diem costs at our facility are about one-third of the costs of other drug rehab facilities,” states a spokesperson for Mountainside. “Recognizing one of the biggest barriers to treatment is cost, we designed a program that is affordable for most people and their families. At just $360 daily, we offer comprehensive, innovative approaches to recovery, in a setting that is second-to-none.”

A drug addiction treatment program consists of an individual, comprehensive evaluation of the person entering rehab. By evaluating past behaviors and current attitudes towards treatment, the professional team at Mountainside creates a plan that addresses the needs of each particular person, increasing the chance of successful recovery. Drug addiction treatment at Mountainside begins with one-on-one counseling, coupled with evidence based, innovative and traditional 12-step therapies. Treatment plans are monitored for their effectiveness and are flexible, based on an individual’s needs.

For nearly two decades, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has led the way in offering individualized alcohol and drug addiction treatment programs. Mountainside’s licensed and certified counselors, social workers and treatment team strive to provide quality, compassionate care to each individual in a tranquil, peaceful environment conducive to optimal recovery.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness Launches Social Networking Site for Young Adults

Developed by young adults, StrengthofUs.org is a user-driven social networking community where members can connect with peers, share personal stories, creativity and helpful resources by writing and responding to blog entries, engaging in discussion groups and sharing videos, photos and other news.

The site offers resources on issues important to young adults, including:

• Healthy relationships
• Family and friends
• Campus life
• Independent living
• Finances
• Employment
• Housing
• Mental health issues

“Young adulthood is an exciting challenge, but also a confusing and stressful time for anyone,” said Michael Fitzpatrick, NAMI executive director. “Life can throw things at you fast.”

“Mental illness affects everyone. StrengthofUs.org is intended not just for young adults who have a mental illness, but for anyone entering adulthood that has a friend, parent or other family member facing a mental health problem.”

“Most of all, StrengthofUs.org is an interactive, fun space where young adults can share experiences and other information to empower each other, build relationships and offer peer support.”

“StrengthofUs.org is about helping and inspiring each other,” said Alex M. White, age 23, a member of the advisory group of young adults who helped develop the Web site. “I would not be alive today if it had not been for the love, care and support I received from family, friends and loved ones.”.
