Discovering The Benefits Of A Malibu Rehab Center

Rehab centers in Malibu are more successful than rehab facilities in other parts of the country. Period. It might seem simplistic to frame the issue in such stark terms, but there’s no sense denying the obvious facts. The truth is that a Malibu rehab center is uniquely suited to meeting the physical and emotional needs of their clients. In the end, no consideration could ever possibly be more important than that one.

You already know what’s at stake in the fight against addiction. Now, for your own sake, it’s time to learn just how valuable a Malibu rehab center can be. The day you arrive at a Malibu rehab center will be the day you start rediscovering the world as you used to know it, and yourself as you used to be. The catch, of course, is that you have to be the one to initiate the healing process, by reaching out to people who can help you get where you need to go. Under the circumstances, you can’t afford to wait any longer to finally take the first step.

Malibu’s most successful rehab program has long been the exclusive rehab destination for upscale clients from all over the world. Now, for your own sake, it’s time to include yourself among the lucky few. To arrive at the Malibu rehab center’s secluded private estate is to enter a world apart, an enclave in which no one and nothing can impede you in your pursuit of recovery. Today really can be the first day of the rest of your life. Here’s hoping you’ll be brave enough to begin the transformation.

Yeadon Pharmacy Backs National No Smoking Day

A Yeadon pharmacy is getting behind next Wednesday’s national No Smoking Day (10 March) by taking up temporary residence at two local health centres in a bid to help members of the community stop smoking.

Following the success of last year’s event at Yeadon Health Centre, staff from The Co-operative Pharmacy in High Street will extend their advice sessions to offer help on stopping smoking at Silver Lane Surgery.

In partnership with the two health centres, staff will set up a stand in the South View Road and Suffolk Court clinics between 10:00am and 5:00pm.

Open to patients from all neighbouring surgeries, visitors will be given advice and counselling on giving up smoking and invited to use a smokerlyser, which measures the amount of carbon monoxide in the lungs and blood.

Patients will also be able to book appointments for the three-month smoking cessation programme and can receive free samples of nicotine patches and gum.

The Co-operative Pharmacy branch manager, Sageer Sharif, said: “Last year’s event was extremely popular with visitors and we think that this year’s national theme – ‘Break free’ – developed with smokers themselves, will have a powerful effect.

Optical Express Reports Successful Launch Of Ambassador Programme

The programme, available to all past laser and intraocular lens treatment patients of Optical Express, enables referrers to choose how they would like their referral reward – valued at hundreds of pounds – to be distributed. They can claim the reward themselves, give their friend or relative the full discount, or split the reward.

Optical Express Reports Successful Launch Of Ambassador Programme

After a trial run at the end of 2009, the Ambassador Referral Programme was officially launched in early 2010. Since then, over a thousand valued patients have taken advantage of the unique opportunity offered by the opticians.

“We’re extremely excited about how the programme has gone so far,” said David Carson, head of the Ambassador programme. “Everyone has really embraced the opportunity, and we’re seeing promising numbers and getting great feedback.”

All three options surrounding the allocation of the reward have been very popular, according to Carson.

“The fact that we’re seeing such a distribution of choices in terms of the reward really reaffirms to us that our patients appreciate the choice we’ve provided them with,” he said. “If one [option] had been overwhelmingly popular, we might have considered reworking the programme, but as it stands, the numbers indicate that our referrers like having all three options.”

Despite the relatively limited time frame in which the Ambassador Referral Programme has been running, patients have been extremely enthusiastic, Carson said.

“We’ve seen numerous patients referring three, four, even six of their friends and colleagues in the short time since we launched the programme,” he said. “Every day we’re getting calls from patients who have just been treated, anxious to receive their pack in the mail and start referring. The momentum that is building right now surrounding Ambassador is just phenomenal.”

Optical Express offers free laser eye surgery consultations at over 100 locations across the UK and Europe.

End Of NHS Funded Homeopathy Could Leave Some UK Residents With No Other Choice But To Seek Private Medical Insurance

After examining the claims of homeopathy, the House of Commons select committee on science and technology has concluded that the NHS should no longer provide funding for the treatment.

End Of NHS Funded Homeopathy Could Leave Some UK Residents With No Other Choice But To Seek Private Medical Insurance

Homeopathy – a 200-year-old complementary medical practice – uses heavily diluted substances which are thought to cause similar symptoms to the illnesses they are being used to treat; thus triggering the body’s natural healing process.

Millions of patients across the globe swear by homeopathic treatments while others dismiss it as nothing more than a ‘placebo’.

Whichever side of the debate you’re on, life insurance comparison website – QuoteBoffin.co.uk – believes that every patient should have the right to seek medical care they feel is appropriate for them.

A spokesperson for QuoteBoffin.co.uk said: “Freedom of choice is something that Britain prides itself on. Removing homeopathy f r o m the NHS medical roster means a percentage of patients are being denied the right to choose a method of treatment they believe is most appropriate or may work better for them than other forms of medicine.

With health insurance providers still offering homoeopathy treatments via carefully selected homeopathic specialists, patients wishing to pursue this line of treatment may have no other option but to seek private health cover.”

Complimentary therapies and medicines are available via some of the UK’s biggest health insurance providers such as AXA PPP and BUPA.

Patients needn’t worry about paying through the nose for homeopathic treatment out with the NHS claims QuoteBoffin.co.uk: “The end of homoeopathy on the NHS doesn’t mean the end of homoeopathy full stop. Health insurance premiums start f r o m as little as £5 per month which is a small price to pay for peace of mind and first class healthcare which covers homeopathy and beyond.

With the rise and rise of price comparison websites that allow consumers to check insurance prices, there’s no reason why you can’t get a good deal on an insurance package that allows you to retain freedom of choice with regard to medical care.”

Overcome Prescription Drug Addiction

Cliffside Malibu, a prestigious recovery facility on the Malibu coast, has long been a leading light in the California treatment community. Now, the center is pleased to announce its renewed commitment to helping clients overcome prescription drug addiction in a private and dignified setting.

Overcome Prescription Drug Addiction

Prescription drug addiction is personal problem. By the same token, prescription drug addiction treatment should be a private process. The best prescription drug addiction rehab facilities are those which most effectively shield their clients from public scrutiny. In the end, any inferior standard of care is simply unacceptable.

Those principles, in turn, are the bedrock of Cliffside Malibu’s treatment philosophy.

With its expert caregivers and posh amenities, Cliffside Malibu is a world-class institution. The prescription drug addiction treatment center has always catered to an elite clientele. Now Cliffside is expanding its mission, with the goal of delivering the best care on the planet to those individuals who need it. At Cliffside Malibu, nothing less than excellence will ever be acceptable.

“Our celebrity clients face enormous challenges on the road to wellness,” said Cliffside Malibu’s Program Director. “As a prescription drug addiction treatment center, it’s our role to ensure that they’re allowed to pursue recovery without having to look over their shoulders for paparazzi. We believe that our long record of success reflects the depth of our commitment to confidentiality.”

Unfortunately, that commitment to confidentiality is also precisely what distinguishes Cliffside from its competitors.

Vista Bay Drug Rehab Success Through Holistic Cocaine Addiction Recovery

Video footage posted on YouTube offers the public a rare glimpse at Narconon Vista Bay Rehab, a drug and alcohol treatment center that’s renowned worldwide for its holistic cocaine addiction recovery program. Vista Bay Drug Rehab is not the sort of facility that’s in the spotlight, despite the fact that Narconon has built a reputation for highly effective holistic treatment programs for over 40 years. While the facility is highly regarded (with recognition that extends to being awarded a Congressional Certificate), the staff is content to let the center’s success in helping patients finally overcome their addictions speak for itself.

Vista Bay Drug Rehab Success Through Holistic Cocaine Addiction Recovery

Brandon (his last name is with held to protect his identity), a 22 year old who fought addictions to cocaine, marijuana and alcohol, is a typical success story. After years of substance abuse, doctors told him he had suffered permanent nerve damage. He was literally throwing his life away. He enrolled at vistabay, hoping to turn his life around, and after graduation wrote:

“I have been clean now for five months, and I will continue on this track for the rest of my life… I feel blessed that the Narconon program saved my life and I have learned to live life, instead of letting my environment (sic) have a negative effect on me.”

There have been thousands of other patients like Brandon. Watching the video on YouTube, where a graduate of the program recounts everything he’s gained since completing treatment, including reaching the stage where he’s able to set and achieve goals in his life, is poignant and helps to put a human face on why Narconon expends so much effort in helping people overcome addictions.

Vista Bay Drug Rehab Center is different from most other drug rehab clinics. The patient is the priority and the treatment program for each patient is customized to meet their individual needs. An all natural, holistic approach to cocaine addiction is employed, rather than the clinical treatment that most centers rely on and the success rate of Vista Bay Rehab supports the idea that holistic treatment is a superior method.

Narconon has offered drug addiction rehabilitation for over 40 years and the cocaine addiction program at Vista Bay Rehab continues to gain recognition for its success rate. Even though 30 days of additional treatment are offered should a patient suffer a relapse within six months of graduating from the program, the staff is seldom called upon to make good on this promise. Based in California, with a beautiful and well equipped facility (which can be seen on the YouTube video), Vista Bay Drug Rehab is truly a permanent solution to cocaine addiction and other substance abuse issues.

Vista Bay Rehab and Bay Area Community Create Family Intervention Success

Family is the constant that everyone should be able to count on. When a family member loses their way, becoming caught in the net of drug or alcohol addiction, Narconon Vista Bay Rehab is the addiction treatment facility of choice for family members who care enough to take action. While the holistic program at Vista Bay Drug Rehab differs radically from most clinical addiction recovery programs, the staff and their ability to reach out to the family of patients is one of the key reasons that vista bay graduates succeed where so many others fail. Testimonial from G.G., a father whose addict son was spiraling out of control is typical of what family members say of the program:

Vista Bay Rehab and Bay Area Community Create Family Intervention Success

“Living at home after his third state rehab stay things went from bad to worse. Our son began to steal money from family and friends. He would pawn expensive household things to support his habit. His cocaine habit had torn our family apart and the decision was made, I would take my own son to jail. I was forcibly placing him in the car when my wife came to me with what she called, the answer. She had contacted a man named Francisco at a place named Narconon. I told her it was just another 28 day rip off, but today I am glad she insisted. My son is still at Narconon, not as a patient, but helping others with their problems. ”

Other testimonials from families in the Bay area community, including those beginning to show up as a video on YouTube, are common. They reflect the fact that Vista Bay offers an extremely effective addiction treatment program (often succeeding where others have failed multiple times) and that the staff and family interaction, whether through intervention, treatment or follow-up after graduation, is both valuable and recognized within the community.
