Utah Drug Rehabs Producing Incredible Recovery Rates With Groundbreaking New Techniques

Several Utah Drug Rehabs are gaining recognition for producing amazingly high success rates. The long lasting recovery is attributed to the techniques used at the facilities. Gone are the days when a 12 step approach was the extent of quality drug rehab. Many rehabilitation centers in Utah now use innovative approaches, such as holistic rehab combined with a spiritual pathway to recovery. Sites like Drug-Rehab.org can help persons seeking such progressive care find rehabs in Utah offering these groundbreaking new techniques.

Several Utah drug rehabs are raising the bar for best practices. By incorporating such approaches as holistic rehab and spiritual tracks with long proven techniques, these centers are producing incredible recovery rates. In years gone by, although some types of addiction received individualized approaches, most were routinely approached with the 12 step technique. This technique is superb but when combined with newer approaches the results are outrageously successful. Finding rehabs in Utah offering such ‘new age’ approaches can be simplified with the referral and placement service at Drug-Rehab.org.

This website can be used to locate progressive rehabilitation centers in Utah and other areas. Drug abuse and addiction is a growing problem across the nation. The reality is that professional help is needed in order to find lasting recovery. And oftentimes it is a family member or other loved one that takes on the responsibility of finding a quality rehab center. Frequently, when the decision to seek help is made, the addict has already suffered numerous losses. Not only is he/she suffering with the addiction, but chances are that relationships are troubled and financial concerns may be overwhelming. There may even be legal issues that have to be dealt with.

Holistic San Jose Drug Rehab Treatment is #1 Rehab Referral in California

Countless San Jose Drug Rehab centers are now offering a holistic approach to rehabilitation. This type of treatment program is comprehensive in nature as it addresses mind, body and spirit. This approach is quickly becoming the preferred rehab referral in all of California. Holistic drug rehab San Francisco style frequently includes treatment for addictions to prescription medications. This can entail the need for detoxification followed by therapy and an educational process that explores the course of the drug use. As new discoveries are made about the drug problem the treatment is modified to address those needs.

June, 2010 – San Jose Drug Rehab treatment facilities are among others across the state of California that are embracing the holistic approach to rehabilitation. This treatment strategy involves providing a comprehensive approach to care. Because all facets of a person’s life are affected by a drug addiction it is important that treatment used is all inclusive. Another aspect of this type of treatment is the willingness of the providers to be innovative and allow clients to have choices concerning their care. Treatment plans must be flexible, allowing for personalization as needed. The success of this methodology has resulted in it being the top rehab referral in leading facilities throughout California. Drug-Rehab.org is a referral and placement center frequently used to find these superior rehabilitation centers.

Although drug addictions are escalating across the nation, the truth is that some areas experience addictions of certain types more frequently than others. Street drugs may be the major culprit in one city but prescription drug addictions may be the primary problem in another. Addictions are not restricted to any one class or age of people. Although the type of addiction and addiction journey may be different, the end result is a person in need of quality help.

Various rehabilitation centers have developed treatments that address areas of special concern. Progressive drug treatment centers work diligently to find innovative ways to address the needs of their clients. This often includes a combination of techniques that have been tested and proven successful. San Jose Drug Rehab is frequently based on a holistic approach that allows clients the freedom to choose different pathways to recovery. In San Francisco, the success with the holistic approach to treatment is frequently used in combination with a 12 step approach. This has led to the strategy sometimes being called ‘drug rehab San Francisco style’.

Innovator of High Performance Lab Coats and Medical Apparel Introduces Clinician Scrubs in Black

Medelita®, maker of breakthrough performance men’s and women’s lab coats, is pleased to announce that its revolutionary female clinician scrubs are now available in black. With the addition of black scrub pants and scrub tops, Medelita offers six colors of women’s scrubs: navy, café, iris, leaf and pool. Medelita also offers a new line of men’s scrubs available in navy (baltic) and black.

“Black was a color that had long been requested by our customers, and we are excited to introduce our clinician scrubs in black, to satisfy the demand,” said Lara Manchik, PA-C and founder of Medelita. “Medelita scrubs are a new paradigm for female clinicians, who, not long ago, were limited to wearing boxy, ill-fitting unisex scrubs. The fact that our scrubs are available in a range of colors and in traditional women’s sizing – it’s no wonder clinicians have embraced them so enthusiastically.”

Medelita women’s clinician scrub tops redefine medical scrubs. Gone is the boxy, shapeless decades-old unisex scrub set. Medelita women’s scrubs have managed to achieve the standard look of traditional unisex scrubs while incorporating innovative design features such as darting at the bust, tapering at the waist and hips and tailored sleeves in the scrub top. The clinician scrub pants feature subtle, slimming bootleg, contoured rise front to back, and flattering seam placement.

Impeccably hand sewn in the USA, Medelita’s tailored scrubs are made with a brushed, cotton and polyester blend (85 percent polyester/15 percent cotton) drirelease® FreshGuard fabric that keeps its wearer dry, comfortable and free of odors. These fabric treatments enable the scrubs to resist piling and fading. Women’s scrub tops are available in sizes 0 – 16 and scrub pants are available in sizes 00 – 14 petite, 0 – 16 regular, and 0 – 16 tall.

Nature’s Best Encourage Us To Get In Shake!

Nature’s Best, one of the UK’s leading direct suppliers of quality health products and vitamin supplements, have released a new Strawberry Protein Shake just in time for the summer season, and it is being hailed as their tastiest yet.

Nature's Best Encourage Us To Get In Shake!

Research shows that adults lost between 0.5 and 2% of their muscle each year once they reach the age of 40. Therefore, it is essential that you include enough muscle-boosting protein in your diet as you get older. The problem is however many over 50’s do not get their recommended daily allowance of protein. Combine this with the fact muscle deterioration coincides with less frequent exercise and a serious problem could be arising.

In response, Nature’s Best has launched a NEW Strawberry Protein Shake, an easy-to-mix power drink containing 19g of high quality whey protein per sachet.

As we grow older, it is increasingly difficult to ensure enough protein is in our diets, due to a number of factors, such as the cost of protein-rich foods (meat and fish), a decline in appetite, a decrease in the ability to absorb nutrients, a change in taste preference, as well as difficulty with chewing. A protein supplement is an easy way to ensure that these advised quantities are effectively met.

The shakes are Nature’s Best most delicious yet, flavoured with real strawberries and are gluten-free, preservative-free, aspartame-free and can be consumed cold or warm, with water or with milk. Whey is one of the highest quality proteins available and contains significant amounts of all important amino acids. Whey also has a high-absorption rate and is easy to digest.

Highly Effective Evidenced-Based Drug Rehab Garners Attention In New England

Within the medical field, it is commonplace to determine the effectiveness of a methodology or treatment by gaining empirical evidence via theory in practice. One particular drug rehab facility has dedicated the past 12 years to refining their treatment program to produce the most optimal outcomes for their clients.

Since their beginning over a decade ago, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has been providing their patients with the most cutting-edge, effective drug addiction treatment program available. Recently, their decade-long body of work has culminated in their latest treatment model which has been trademarked and termed as the Integrated Care Model.

Often times, drug rehab programs simply focus on symptom management of an individual’s addiction. Rarely are treatment programs concerned with all aspects of an individual, from physical symptom management, to spiritual aspects as well as any social issues that may arise due to the addiction.

“When we first began our program, we realized that, in order to maximize the chances for successful recovery, we must address all of the facets of an individual instead of merely offering symptom management,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside. “Most addicted individuals are disconnected from reality and out of touch with themselves. We take them through the process of individualizing a treatment plan specifically for them which addresses their complete needs. As a result, we are able to get people fully engaged in their recoveries. And, when a person is truly, fully invested in becoming well, the chance for successful, long-term sobriety skyrockets.”

While core tenets of traditional drug addiction treatment are observed, Mountainside offers its clients a long list of treatment initiatives which are designed to appeal to a variety of different people from a variety of different backgrounds. As such, individuals are given what they need to become released from the powerful grip of drug and alcohol addiction.

Switch Off Social Networking Regularly To Avoid Compounding Loneliness, Says Health Insurance Comparison Site Quoteboffin.co.uk

As increases in technology see the UK becoming ever more switched on to personal computers, online communication and social networking, a new report has appeared claiming that Britain is suffering from an epidemic of loneliness.

The report, from the Mental Health Foundation, found that more than one in ten British people often feel lonely and that many work long hours, live alone and socialise online rather than seeing friends and family in the flesh.

More than 2,200 adults were questioned for the study and it was found that while adults of all ages seemed to be being affected by loneliness, women tended to suffer from the feeling more than men.

Some have blamed the growth of social networking sites as a potential cause for this epidemic of loneliness and health insurance comparison site Quoteboffin.co.uk says that, like most pleasures, social networking sites are best enjoyed in moderation. A spokesperson for the company explained:

“While this is distressing news, we think that it’s important for people to take a long look at all aspects of their life and not just the amount of time they spend on social networks, if they are suffering from loneliness.

“Socialising online can be a positive experience for many people, so it’s important to identify all of the areas which could be a problem – including working long or unsociable hours – and addressing these. The most crucial thing to remember about social networking, is that it should be being enjoyed in moderation.”

It was found that more women than men claimed to be suffering from loneliness (47 per cent), but the number of men suffering was also significant (36 per cent) and almost one in five respondents said that they spend too much time communicating with friends and family online rather than in person.

However, the report suggested that it is too early to be able to determine whether technology is changing the way that people interact with each other in real life. It did find that online interaction is no substitute for the real thing though.

While loneliness is sometimes perceived as a mild form of mental discomfort, chronic loneliness can have a number of other effects on health – from unhealthy lifestyles to mental health problems like depression, alcohol or drug abuse and eating disorders.

Quoteboffin.co.uk added: “Loneliness is certainly a natural emotion, however it is when loneliness becomes excessive that it becomes a real problem – and this is when the threats to well-being start to multiply.

“From serious mental health issues to lifestyle changes that can damage physical health and push up health insurance premiums, loneliness could be at the root of many other problems – so people should make sure they heed warning signs and ensure they have a strong networks of support offline as well as online.”

Miami Cosmetic Dentist Explains Sedation Dentistry

Nearly 30% of Americans are afraid of visiting the dentist and even will put up with pain or discomfort to avoid dental visits. However, for those people, there is another way:sedation dentistry. It can also be called oral sedation dentistry, anxiety-free dentistry, and relaxation dentistry.

Miami Cosmetic Dentist Explains Sedation Dentistry

Available for both general and cosmetic dentistry, sedation dentistry can be used for procedures from simple cleanings and root canals to complete smile makeovers. At a dental visit you and your dentist will agree on the needed treatment. The dentist will give you a prescription for a drug such as Valium, Ativan, or Sonata.

“Most of the drugs have been available for years and all are safe to use,” says one of Miami’s best sedation dentists, Dr. Kenneth Anenberg, cosmetic dentist from Smile South Florida. “Some of the prescriptions last longer than others, so the amount of time necessary for your treatment will help determine what kind of medicine you will receive. Be sure to tell the dentist about other drugs you are taking and details of your medical condition.”

The day of the procedure, you will take your medicine before the appointment – how far in advance will be determined by how long your treatment will take. You will need a companion to drive you to and from your appointment. When the dentist starts the procedure, you will feel relaxed and, possibly, drowsy, points out Anenberg, a Miami sedation dentist. Most patients don’t sleep deeply unless they’ve been administered general anesthesia, which most dentists don’t provide.

Unique Approach To Drug Rehab Treatment Provides Optimum Chance For Success

The traditional methods of drug addiction treatment are being re-vamped and enhanced by drug rehabs worldwide. In an effort to provide the optimum chance for lifelong sobriety, many treatment programs have been expanding their current offerings to include what some may consider non-traditional drug rehab therapies.

While more traditional methodologies are still very much in use, their effectiveness has been augmented with the addition of what is termed holistic drug rehab treatment – that is, viewing the addicted individual’s needs as a whole, instead of “in parts”.

The pioneering of such methods began over 12 years ago at Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center located in Canaan , Connecticut . Through advanced research, via theory in practice, they have created a program that offers a variety of different drug addiction treatment options that are personalized, depending on an individual’s needs. As a result of their research and expanded treatment program, Mountainside has become the leader in effective drug rehab treatment worldwide and is viewed by treatment officials as providing the new and most effective standard for care.

The Harley Medical Group Sees A Boom For Bigger Breasts

According the Harley Medical Group in Dublin, breast augmentation is again the fastest growing sector of cosmetic surgery with a positive increase on last years enquiries of over 37%. The latest data from The Harley Medical Group accounted for 27 of all procedures undertaken by the group in the last 12 months.

A large part of this increase has been attributed to a desire by women who have just given birth to get back into their original shape, or better, as soon as possible after giving birth. Post-baby surgery currently accounts for an estimated 75% of all Breast Uplifts (mastopexy) at the Harley Medical Group and Irish attitudes have changed dramatically as women are now happy to talk about their Surgery and show off their new found confidence.

Breast augmentation is the third most common type of post-natal procedure with mums making up 60% of patients. The shape and position of breasts as well as the overall body figure can change considerably after giving birth and so many mums opt to get breast enlargements to suit their new body shape.

The Harley Medical Clinic has over 27 years experience in cosmetic surgery and prides itself on the beautiful natural results it achieves. The highly qualified surgeons are there before, during and throughout the aftercare following the procedure.

A Breast Augmentation operation is normally performed under a General Anesthetic and takes approximately 1–1.5 hours. The average cost for breast augmentation is €6,610.

European Obesity Day 2010 Is Welcomed By Life Insurance Comparison Site Quoteboffin.co.uk

The 2010 European Obesity Day took place on Saturday May 22, and it is hoped that the campaign will raise the profile of the potentially life-threatening condition. As the first awareness day of its kind, life insurance site Quoteboffin.co.uk welcomed the event and is optimistic that it will help in the fight to reduce the problems associated with obesity in Europe.

One of the campaign’s central goals is to help the 50 per cent of Europeans who are overweight to shed 5 to 10 per cent of their body weight and cut obesity rates across 15 countries.

While the term obesity has become a well known one in the UK it is not in such common usage in other European countries, and it is hoped that the new awareness day will help countries increase public knowledge before the problem becomes rife. Among those participating are a high number of Eastern European countries, including Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary and Latvia.

A spokesperson for Quoteboffin.co.uk voiced the company’s support for the campaign, saying that it represents a positive step forward when it comes to spreading the word about obesity and its dangers. They added: “Most people in the UK are aware of the problems that can be caused by obesity, but campaigns like this act as a great way for countries to share knowledge.

“What’s more, it’s important for people not to become complacent about things such as obesity. The fact that the term has become common knowledge in the UK means people could be in danger of accepting it as normal, whereas obesity remains a big threat to health.”

Utah Drug Rehabilitation Uses Holistic Treatment to Produce Long Term Recovery

Everyday numerous cases of drug addiction in Utah are reported by the police. As a result, Utah drug rehabs work round-the-clock to bestow the best treatment possible for drug addicts. They offer different treatment sessions to choose from in order to meet the needs of each patient. The concern of the rehab centers is not only for the patient but also for his family and the people around him.

Regardless of its family-oriented reputation, Utah is no stranger to drug addiction. Every month on average, ten Utah residents lose their lives to illegal drug overdose. This is one of the reasons why Utah drug rehabilitation centers have opened their doors wide to all people suffering from drug addiction. The goal of these centers is to create a drug-free productive life for every patient. The most successful full-service drug rehab in Utah addresses areas of health, nutrition and detoxification. They also offer a drug-free approach, which is proven and very effective at helping a person overcome his addiction once and for all without transferring to “legal” prescription drug addiction.

Treatment is a group effort. It involves participation from caring family members, treatment professionals, and former sufferers of drug addiction. One of the most important things to consider when treating a substance abuser is to know the reason for his addiction. That is the first answer sought out by counselors providing drug rehab in Utah. To have the most effective treatment, drug rehabs assess and determine what process would work best for an individual based on the specific drug and behaviors exhibited in each case. Counseling plays a big role on the entire treatment of a drug addict because the counselor will be able to note the progression of his patient and determine if a certain treatment is working or if it should be changed. Group therapy sessions are as essential as one-on-one counseling, as each patient will be able to learn from the group’s discussion and realize that they are not alone in the journey to a new beginning.

Relief from an addiction might be the best feeling for a former drug addict. He has not only saved his body from the potentially fatal effects of drug abuse, but he has also made the life-changing choice. This is what utah drug rehabs hope to instill in each of the patients. Every time they welcome a new patient, they don’t see “a person to be treated” but instead, they see “a wonderful life taking shape”. The treatments they do are not for self-profit but for the patients to gain strength in facing the new chapter of their lives.
