Eating Disorder Treatment for Elite Clientele

Cliffside Malibu, an elegant recovery center 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 eating disorder victims achieve physical and psychological wellness.

cliffsidemalibu

Eating disorder treatment is a delicate art form. To be successful, it has to be administered exactly the right way, with a nuanced attention to detail. The best treatment facilities are those which pay closest attention to the unique individual needs of their unique individual clients. In the end, the healing process can’t go forward on any terms other than those.

That principle, in turn, is the bedrock of Cliffside Malibu’s eating disorder treatment philosophy.

With its expert caregivers and posh amenities, Cliffside Malibu is a world-class institution. The center has always catered to an elite clientele. Now Cliffside is expanding its mission, with the goal of delivering the best eating disorder therapy on the planet to those who need it. From Anorexia recovery to Bulimia treatment, at Cliffside Malibu nothing less than excellence will ever be acceptable.

“Eating disorder recovery depends first and foremost on the quality of eating disorder treatment,” said Cliffside Malibu Program Director Dr. Georgina Smith. “At Cliffside Malibu, we recognize that our treatment programs have the power to change lives, and we do everything in our power to live up to that responsibility. We believe that we owe that much to the clients who trust us with their health.”

That sense of obligation, in no uncertain terms, is precisely what distinguishes Cliffside from its competitors.

There’s no shortage of eating disorder treatment centers in Los Angeles. All too often, many of those clinics employ inexperienced or unqualified caregivers. Predictably, these facilities generally fall short of the promises they make to their clients—with disastrous consequences for those clients and the people who care about them.

Given the stakes in the eating disorder recovery process, that sort of failure is simply unacceptable.

“Eating disorders ruin lives,” said Patricia Freeberry, Cliffside’s Clinical Director. “Eating disorder treatment can help to fix what’s broken, but only if it’s delivered by people who know exactly what they’re doing. At Cliffside Malibu, our eating disorder specialists are the best in the world at what they do.”

Eating disorder victims don’t need to be told what they stand to lose in the fight against their diseases. What might not be so obvious, though, is the value of what they stand to win. Cliffside Malibu helps clients rediscover life as they used to know it, before anorexia and bulimia made them strangers to everything and everyone they’d ever cared about. It’s hard to imagine that any lesson could ever be more worth learning than that.

For further details about Cliffside’s treatment methods, amenities, or other general information about the eating disorder clinic, please call 1-800-501-1988 or visit our Web site at www.cliffsidemalibu.com.

Prescription Drug Abuse Throughout Ontario – OxyContin(r) On The Chopping Block

This year the province of Ontario , Canada is leading an extensive investigation into the misuse and abuse of OxyContin. This is a particular pharmaceutical that can be paid for by Ontario ‘s public drug plan, unfortunately these prescriptions have tripled in the last five years. The Health Minister of Ontario wants to find out if the people getting the OxyContin really do need it. Drug Rehab Services has been on the receiving end of this, this particular drug rehab placement agency handles hundreds of calls from people in Ontario looking for help for OxyContin abuse. “Our calls have been on the rise and the most common question asked is how can I get help for Oxy abuse. Fortunately we have built a very large database of over 4000 different treatment centers across Canada , and do provide many different resources for Ontario residents.” Says Marcel Gemme, owner of Drug Rehab Services.

OxyContin is a slow release pain medicine that is mainly intended for people in extreme or chronic pain. The drug has a long history of being abused in ways of crushing the drug and snorting it, chewing the drug and mixing with alcohol, and even breaking the drug down and injecting it into your veins. OxyContin is given out so freely in Ontario , and it is not uncommon for abusers of OxyContin to be double doctoring; visiting multiple doctors complaining of symptoms of pain. Apparently there is no way of tracking whom has been prescribed, and in the last five years there was 450 deaths due to OxyContin overdose in Ontario.

This investigation has also led health regulators in the United States to make sure the producers of opiod painkillers strengthen their safety measures in order to prevent the misuse and abuse. The Food and Drug Administration in the United States is concerned about the rising numbers of overdoses and accidental deaths due to OxyContin, which has increased over the past ten years. The counsellors at Drug Rehab Services will continue to provide the best possible resources for those struggling with OxyContin abuse.

Chubby Celebs Make Obesity The “Norm”

Stick thin celebrities have long been held responsible for the pressure on ordinary people to lose weight – now it would seem the tables have turned and fat celebrities are being blamed for the rising obesity epidemic.

Experts say that tubby celebs such as “Gavin and Stacey’s” James Corden and Ruth Jones are making obesity more socially acceptable and “normal”.

The profile of “larger” celebs has considerably risen over the years, with names such as Dawn French, Jonny Vegas, Peter Kay and of course Fern Britton (who has now lost her weight), appearing on our screens.

A recent report revealed that 23 per cent of Brits are now classed as obese compared to just 11 per cent 10 years ago.

More than 2,000 people took part in a nationwide survey in which researchers found that 17 per cent of obese people refuse to consider taking action to lose weight, whether via surgery or extreme diet regimes.

Weight loss doesn’t have to revolve around fad diets and excruciating exercise regimes though. The Hospital Group, one of the country’s leading obesity and cosmetic surgery providers, offers a wide range of obesity treatments including gastric band and body shaping treatments including liposuction and tummy tuck.

Last year The Hospital Group saw a staggering 73 per cent increase in the number of enquires made regarding weight loss surgery, making them the largest obesity surgery provider in the UK.

Since The Hospital Group was established in 1992, it has grown from a small pharmaceutical company to one of the UK’s foremost weight loss surgery providers.

For further information of The Hospital Group’s range of weight loss procedures, surgery-seekers should visit the website www.thehospitalgroup.org or call our patient care coordinators on 0845 762 6727.

Drug Rehab Services Helps Ontario OxyContin Abusers

OxyContin abuse is a very serious problem that does impact the residents of Ontario. Drug Rehab Services receives many calls from families looking for help who have a loved one slowly dying form an OxyContin addiction. “OxyContin has many other brand names,” comments Marcel, owner of Drug Rehab Services, “it is also know as Supeudol, Enodcet, Oxycocet, and the slang term ‘hillbilly heroin’.” OxyContin or Oxycodone has caused many overdoses and deaths in the province of Ontario. In 1990, the Chief Medical Examiner of Ontario, Dr. Barry Mclellan, asked forensic scientists to go back and review the death files of people who died from drug overdoses for the past five years in Ontario. The findings were quite shocking, between 1999 and 2003, there was a four to five fold increase in deaths where Oxycodone was detected in the blood stream.

Following a brief timeline; in 2000 the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) reported a %400 increase in Oxycodone related deaths. In 2001, Oxycodone abuse was highly publicized all throughout North America. In 2003, 101 people died in Ontario with Oxycodone found in their blood stream. This was ten times more than one decade ago. 2004; the FDA strengthened warnings about Oxycodone and its many products, this was also followed by warnings issued by Perdu Pharma, the company that was marketing OxyContin. In 2005, a story reported on CTV about a young Ontario man named Kyle Blythe, whose doctor prescribed him OxyContin for tendonitis in his wrist. One hundred thousand dollars later, OxyContin destroyed his life, and took away his wife and home. Kyle then entered a legal methadone maintenance program to help get off of the OxyContin.

Drug Rehab Service has compiled a database of over 4000 different resources, and this includes resources for people looking for help in Ontario. If you are requiring help for an OxyContin addiction in Ontario, call the counsellors at Drug Rehab Services at, 1-877-254-3348, or visit their website at, http://drug-rehab.ca.

Drug And Alcohol Treatment Transforming The World Of Rehabilitation

Sunset Malibu, an exclusive drug and alcohol treatment center on the California coast, has long been a transformational force in the field of treatment and recovery. Now, Sunset has redoubled its efforts in the fight against alcoholism. For clients and their families, those efforts can make all the difference in the world.

drugrehabsunsetmalibu

Alcohol abuse is a devastating disease, one that strips its victims of their hope and joy dignity. The good news, though, is that targeted alcohol rehabilitation programs really can help patients rediscover themselves as they used to be—but only if those programs meet the unique individual needs of the individual clients.

Those considerations are at the heart of Sunset Malibu’s treatment philosophy. As a result, Sunset Malibu’s alcohol treatment programs change lives.

With its world-class caregivers and elegant accommodations, Sunset Malibu is an unparalleled recovery destination. The center has always catered to upscale clients f r o m every corner of the globe. Now Sunset is renewing its commitment to its core values, with the goal of delivering life-changing care to individuals who seek it.

At Sunset Malibu, no pursuit could ever be more fulfilling than that of becoming whole again.

“Alcoholism can destroy families and careers,” Sunset Malibu owner Richard Taite said. “Our foremost goal is to help clients develop the skills and strength they need to rebuild their world f r o m the ground up.”

When it comes to the best alcoholism treatment Los Angeles has to offer, that passion to create change is precisely what sets Sunset apart f r o m its competitors.

There are plenty of alcohol recovery facilities in Southern California. But many of them offer the same generic treatment programs to all of their clients. It’s as if what worked for one victim of alcoholism should work for them all. But this simply isn’t the case. To pretend otherwise can grossly jeopardize the healing process. Such results unforgivable and unnecessary.

“Our clients trust us with their lives,” Taite said. “It’s a humbling and inspiring responsibility, and we respond to it with the utmost dedication. Our treatment methods, along with education and counseling, reflect our commitment to every individual who walks through our doors.”

Alcohol abuse is a pernicious foe, but not an unconquerable one. Sunset Malibu is committed to helping alcoholism victims rediscover themselves as they used to be, and life as they used to know it. The center’s record of success speaks for itself.

Sunset’s residents really do heal f r o m the inside-out. For clients and their families, no outcome could ever possibly be more desirable.

Luxury Drug Rehab Experts Help Addicts Find the Right Treatment

Upscale victims of addiction often seek professional treatment facilities capable of helping them achieve recovery without sacrificing the luxurious lifestyles to which they’re accustomed. Unfortunately, that search is often impeded by a lack of transparency in the treatment center community. That’s about to change.

LuxuryDrugRehab.com is pleased to announce a new referral service linking affluent addiction victims to the best treatment and recovery facilities on earth. The goal of LuxuryDrugRehab.com is to help those victims find the facility that’s exactly right for them. This is to ensure positive outcomes and lasting results in the healing process. To do that, the service provides clients with expert personal advice—combined with a thorough and accurate understanding of the treatment options available to them. That sort of enlightenment can often make all the difference in the world.

Rehabilitation is never easy. On the contrary, recovery is an arduous process. So —recovery patients need all the support they can get on the road to wellness. The best luxury drug rehab centers combine clinical excellence with elegant amenities and world-class service. This helps them achieve the goal of helping clients get better without suffering along the way. In the end, treatment can’t succeed on any terms other than those.

Frequently, that principle isn’t put into practice. Many rehab centers fall far short of the commitments they make to their clients.

While there are plenty of “luxury” treatment facilities in California, many fail to deliver the sort of cutting-edge care upon which all meaningful recovery must be based. Instead, they choose to devote their resources to superficial amenities — as if recovery could be achieved through physical comfort alone. When push comes to shove, a rehab center that focuses on elegance before expertise can’t possibly be expected to help its residents achieve any kind of lasting wellness.

Given what’s at stake in the fight against addiction, failure is simply unacceptable. And that, in a no uncertain terms, is precisely why LuxuryDrugRehab.com is so important to its clients and their families

It’s no secret that addiction is an awful disease.

The Harley Medical Group, which has 26 clinics in the UK, reveals outstanding results from an independent customer satisfaction survey of patients from clinics nationwide for 2007 and 2008.

Combined results for 2007 and 2008 reveal 98% of patients would recommend the Harley
Medical Group based on their own experience – 100% responded positively in 2007 with 97% saying the same for 2008.

On overall satisfaction, patients were asked to consider all areas of service from treatment in the clinic, consultations with nurses and surgeons to their operation and post-operative support. Ninety-five per cent of 2008 patients thought the Harley Medical Group’s service was ‘very good’ or ‘good’ with 96% reporting the same for 2007.

Liz Dale, director at the Harley Medical Group, said: “We attribute these fantastic results as much to our strict medical ethos and consultation period as to the skill of our surgeons. At the Harley Medical Group we advise all patients to think long and hard about their surgery and to consider the implications for a minimum of six months before they begin the consultation procedure.”

Every patient at the Harley Medical Group will meet with a fully trained cosmetic surgerynurse counsellor for an initial consultation when each stage of the procedure, from consultation with the surgeon through to the post-operative, follow-up and recovery period will be explained thoroughly. The clinical aspects of the operation will also be covered in detail, any questions will be answered and concerns addressed. Nurse counsellors can also put potential clients in touch with other patients who have undergone the same treatment.

Only after both patient and nurse are happy to proceed will an appointment be made with a surgeon who will assess the patient for suitability and talk through the procedure in detail. (All surgeons associated with the Harley Medical Group in the UK are on the GMC Specialist Register for Plastic Surgery – in Ireland with The Medical Council Ireland – and meet the requirements of the Healthcare Commission, for practicing in the UK.)

Thousands Of Brits Undergo BOTOX® Treatment Every Year To Reduce The Appearance Of Laughter Lines And Furrowed Brows

However scientists have discovered another use for the anti-wrinkle treatment. Not only can it be used to reduce the effects of ageing and stop hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), but BOTOX® can now actually improve your mood as well.

Researchers at Cardiff University investigated the effects of cosmetic treatments on the mood of 25 volunteers.

Out of the group a number of them underwent BOTOX® whilst others had laser surgery, cosmetic peels and numerous other treatments designed to make the skin look younger. All of the groups felt that their treatment was particularly effective, but those given BOTOX® said they felt much happier.

Researchers believe that our expressions affect our mood, so when we wrinkle our brows when annoyed it only reinforces our irritation.

Therefore by stopping the face from frowning, BOTOX® actually makes patients feel happier.

David Ross, chief executive of The Hospital Group, said: “Despite the recession, our clinics have reported a surge in the number of BOTOX® treatments conducted across the country.

“For many years we have noticed the positive effect the treatment has had not only on our patient’s appearance, but also their mood. Patients leave our clinics in high spirits which we feel contributes to their numerous return visits.”

The Hospital Group, one of the country’s leading cosmetic surgeries, provides a vast number of age preventative treatments across its 19 clinics throughout the UK.

The Group saw an incredible 226 per cent increase in the number of non-surgical procedures performed in 2008. A total of 5,200 treatments were carried out across the group last year with treatments such as Botox®, hyperhidrosis and facial peels rising in popularity.

Since The Hospital Group was established in 1992, it has grown from a small pharmaceutical company to one of the UK’s foremost cosmetic surgery providers. The Group is committed to providing the very highest standards and all procedures are performed by an expert medical team in state-of-the-art facilities that are second to none.

Slimband Offers Toronto Weight Loss Surgery Options To Prolong Life

Achieving a manageable weight is not an easy endeavor for all. However, it is imperative to a happy and healthy life. Slimband, a revolutionary way of achieving this manageable weight, is a new approach to bariatric surgery. This method helps you to not only lose weight, but to keep the weight off. This manageable solution will help anyone who has struggled with long-term weight control in the past.

Losing weight for most people isn’t the problem, but staying motivated to keep it off. A goal weight is met, and the pounds start to pile back on. In fact, various studies have concluded that 95% of people who lose weight put the weight back on in 2-3 years. That number is astonishing but toronto weight loss surgery with the use of Slimband is the answer. For those who have experienced this experience, Slimband can provide an alternative to starting the weight loss journey all over again.

Slimband involves no diets and gives the individual an increased energy level, which helps them to burn calories more readily. From an increased self-confidence to improved physical appearance and a sustainable weight loss method, Slimband has a high success rate for those choosing to embark on bariatric surgery. With an, “Eat what you want” mentality with an internal portion control system, Slimband lowers the risk of weight-related health issues for a patient’s future.

What exactly is Slimband and what would happen if I choose to embark on Toronto weight loss surgery? Slimband is an adjustable and reversible process that includes the attachment of a band to the top of one’s stomach. This forms a small gastric pouch which reduces the food intake abilities a person can hold. A port is placed under the skin and medical staff can adjust the amount of solution that goes into the band to tighten or loosen it depending on the weight loss process and the weight loss goals involved.

Ultimately, the Slimband process includes two steps. First, the surgical implantation of the band and then a 4 year follow up plan that includes nutrition counseling, professional fitness programs and fill adjustments depending on the results and/or needs of the particular bariatric surgery patient.

While weight loss can be a great change for someone’s lifestyle, it also significantly prolongs someone’s life, for the risk of heart disease; type II diabetes and high cholesterol are lowered as excess weight decreases.

For someone interested in Slimband and Toronto Weight Loss Surgery, they should be prepared to ask their potential surgeon several questions before agreeing to Bariatric surgery. Some of these questions include:

# Who in fact will be doing this surgery?
# What are the qualifications they have to do this procedure?
# What is the cost for consultation with this surgeon?
# What is the cost for Slimband / Toronto Weight loss surgery?
# Are there any complications I should be aware of?

After deciding whether Slimband is for you, a consultation will occur with a professional bariatric surgeon who is experienced in Slimband. From there, your options will be provided to you as well as any questions answered that you need before deciding to finalize your plan for Toronto Weight Loss Surgery.

For more information on toronto weight loss surgery or Bariatric Surgery, visit slimband.com or call 416-482-2988 or toll-free 1-800-308-5458. The Slimband method will change your life forever. What are you waiting for? Log on today!

Lexington Medical Center Has Made Medical History By Becoming The First Hospital In South Carolina With Incisionless Surgery

Lexington Medical Center has made medical history by becoming the first hospital in South Carolina with incisionless surgery.

incisionless surgery

The South Carolina Obesity Surgery Center, a physician practice affiliated with Lexington Medical Center, is now offering “the ROSE procedure” and performed it for the first time at Lexington Medical Center this week. ROSE stands for Restorative Obesity Surgery, Endoscopic. This procedure is for patients who have gained weight back after gastric bypass surgery. Currently, only approximately 30 facilities in the United States offer this treatment.

During ROSE, the surgeon will insert an endoscope through the patient’s mouth into the stomach pouch. The doctor then creates folds to make the stomach pouch smaller. Because there are no external cuts into the body, the procedure offers the advantages of reduced risk of infection, less post-operative pain, faster recovery time and no scars. The treatment can be especially important in South Carolina, which ranks 5th in the nation for obesity.

Dr. Marc Antonetti and Dr. Glen Strickland of the South Carolina Obesity Surgery Center completed special training to do the ROSE procedure at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas earlier this year. Each procedure takes about 1 ½ hours. Patients may be in the hospital less than one day. The ideal candidate is someone who had gastric bypass two years ago, lost greater than 50% of their excess weight and regained greater than 10%.

Before the ROSE procedure, patients who regained weight after gastric bypass surgery had few treatment options. Scarring from the initial procedure made revision surgery challenging, with longer recovery time and an increased risk for complications.

Some patients regain weight after gastric bypass surgery because of gradual enlargement of the surgically altered small stomach pouch. In weight loss surgery, the stomach pouch is made very small, which creates a feeling of fullness after just a small volume of food is eaten. When the pouch gradually enlarges, the feeling of fullness is no longer present, patients can eat larger meals and weight regain occurs.

Doctors say similar incisionless surgery may have future application for gall bladder surgery and appendectomies.

The South Carolina Obesity Surgery Center is dual-certified as a Center of Excellence in bariatric surgery by the American College of Surgeons and the American Society for Bariatric Surgery. Its doctors are Dr. Antonetti, Dr. Strickland and Dr. Jim Givens. The surgeons there have completed more than 3,000 bariatric surgeries.

News reporters who wish to do a story on the procedure, its patients and doctors should call Jennifer Wilson at Lexington Medical Center at 803-791-2191. For more information on the South Carolina Obesity Surgery Center and the ROSE procedure, go to www.scobesity.com.

Drug Rehabilitation Video Pays Tribute to Narconon Graduates

The Narconon Trois-Rivieres drug rehab program recently put together a new drug rehab video paying tribute to some Narconon drug rehab graduates, and the Narconon program founder, William Benitez. In this video there is a small clip of the amazing drug education lecture given by Benitez over 40 years ago. He talks about how drugs are the easiest way to hurt a person. He says: “The quickest way to hurt a person, or a nation, or a group, the quickest way to hurt a person’s goals, his aims, his ability, his life, is by introducing that person to narcotics.”

This statement made by Mr. Benitez is the absolute truth. Everyday, there are more and more people being introduced to narcotics. When this happens, these people start down a path that could potentially take everything. William Benitez was aware of this 40 years ago, when he overcame his own 19 year long addiction to heroin, and other drugs. He started the first Narconon therapy group that saved his life, and the lives of twelve other inmates. This video production gives a glimpse of where some of the graduates of the Narconon drug rehab program were in the midst of their addiction, and then the video shows where these graduate are, after completing a drug rehab program.

The Narconon drug rehab program has produced well over 25,000 graduates worldwide. With a network of 150 centers in over 40 different countries, the Narconon drug rehab programs purpose is to help save as many lives as possible.

Sweaty Summers A Thing Of The Past

The virtues of a colourful summer wardrobe are extolled by many a style expert. But many men and women across the UK have little choice but to reach for something in black or white – for fear of the embarrassment caused by their excessive sweating.

Sweating is a natural function to control body temperature, but for some people excessive sweating – or hyperhidrosis – can occur for no apparent reason.

The severity of the condition varies from person to person and the underarm area is usually the main area affected. Wherever the condition strikes, excessive sweating can prove problematic socially and professionally.

The condition comes about when the sympathetic nervous system, which controls involuntary responses such as sweating and blushing, fails to regulate sweating. But The Hospital Group can provide relief for those suffering from the affliction with its BOTOX® cure.

The BOTOX® treatment involves a series of injections in the affected area, which prevents the release of the chemical acetylcholine from the nerve fibres that stimulate overactive sweat glands.

The non-surgical procedure takes only half an hour and the patient will see a dramatic improvement that lasts for around six months.

The Hospital Group, one of the country’s leading cosmetic surgeries, provides a vast number of non-surgical treatments across its 19 clinics throughout the UK.

The Group saw an incredible 226 per cent increase in the number of non-surgical procedures performed in 2008. A total of 5,200 treatments were carried out across the group last year with treatments such as BOTOX®, hyperhidrosis and face peels rising in popularity.

The Hospital Group is committed to providing the very highest standards and all procedures are performed by an expert medical team in state-of-the-art facilities that are second to none.

Bespoke Breasts

With the ever rising demand for breast enhancement, The Hospital Group, one of the country’s leading providers of cosmetic surgery, has launched the revolutionary new Natrelle™ breast implants f r o m Allergan.

With a range of over 500 implants, the patient has a choice of four projections and gel types as well as a number of textured and smooth surfaces, allowing a more natural and individual breast enhancement.

Surgery isn’t something to be taken lightly, and to ensure the patient is in control every step of the way, The Hospital Group’s surgeons utilise the latest Biodynamics® Breast Analysis System which will measure the breast accurately and assist in selecting the perfect Natrelle™ implant based on the individual’s requirements.

A total of up to 36 detailed measurements may be taken during the consultation, followed by a discussion of the patient’s preferences and expectations in terms of cleavage, shape, size and feel.

The amazing new software also offers a visualisation system, enabling the patient to see and feel the effect of the enhancement before undergoing surgery by wearing a specially designed vest with externally worn simulated breast prosthesis.

David Ross, chief executive of The Hospital Group, said: “Our main concern when performing any form of surgical procedure is that the patient is 100 per cent happy with the end result.

“This fabulous new technology allows patients to actually see the difference our bespoke implants will have on both posture and appearance before undergoing any form of treatment. This in turn ensures patients will be completely satisfied with the proposed enhancement”.

Since The Hospital Group was established in 1992, it has grown f r o m a small pharmaceutical company to one of the UK’s foremost cosmetic surgery providers.

Narconon Drug Rehab – 40 Years of Effective Drug Rehabilitation

“Well what does he know about it? Has he ever taken a trip?” The Founder of the Narconon drug rehab program made this statement over 40 years ago. He went on to say: “You could very easily put this question to me. And I just wanted to say that I have taken so many trips, for nineteen years, that I could buy out the greyhound bus station.”

Prior to creating the first Narconon therapy group within the Arizona State Prison in 1966, William Benitez was a former heroin addict of nineteen years. Like most former addicts, he had been through many forms drug rehab and drug addiction treatment over the greater part of his life. It was not until he discovered a workable solution to overcoming addiction while being sentenced to prison, when he finally beat his own addiction. After being released in 1968, he was fortunate to be able to deliver, what could be considered, a drug education lecture to the students of Scottsdale High School in Arizona.

When Mr. Benitez gave this lecture he talked of his own experiences; he wanted to give these students the information about what drug addiction was really like. “I experienced these various things you see.” Says Benitez in the lecture. Narconon Trois-Rivieres has put together a short video of the recorded lecture. In this video Mr. Benitez talks about narcotic addiction, and the Narconon program. He shows how raising a persons abilities, and giving that person more abilities will give them the best opportunity to remain drug and crime free. And this worked for Benitez; he was able to successfully rehabilitate twelve out of twelve men who were in the first Narconon therapy group.

Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry Is Offering A Limited Time Summer Invisalign Special To Both New And Current Patients

Many patients want to have the benefits of a beautiful straight smile, but do not want to be inconvenienced with wearing unsightly metal braces for several years. This is where the Invisalign method can make a difference. Invisalign is an alternative to traditional braces, where the patient uses a series of clear aligners that are custom molded to fit the patient’s teeth. The aligners are gradually repositioned over time to adjust the smile and give the desired result.

In contrast to traditional braces that are permanently fixed into the mouth during treatment, Invisalign braces are removable during eating and to brush the teeth. Heather, Marketing & Guest Services Coordinator for the South Florida Dentist, and current Invisalign patient said, “I wanted to have straight teeth for my upcoming wedding, but there was no way that I would be caught wearing metal braces for several years. This is my chance to have straight teeth in a short amount of time without anyone knowing that I am even wearing braces.”

Currently, Smile South Florida is offering a 25% off regular price special on Invisalign treatment that will run until September 1st, 2009. This offers a huge savings to the patient, especially since Invisalign is typically not covered by many dental insurance plans.
