Courtney Love Isn’t Alone When It Comes To Rumors Of Drug Addiction

Courtney Love is facing a problem that many stars and public figures experience when they encounter problems – complete loss of privacy. Issues such as drug addiction and alcoholism recovery often rest on a principle of anonymity, for Love and many like her – their solution is different. Love’s public history with drug abuse has spanned over a decade and has affected many areas of her life, most recently rumored to be the cause for the loss of custody of her daughter. Courtney is under constant public scrutiny. The loss of anonymity that stars experience often complicates an individual’s recovery, however many do recover.

Love’s most recent online rants regarding her daughter have caused her fans to believe she has fallen back into the drug scene. Courtney maintains that she is sober and her life has changed since her 2006 house arrest for violating an order for a previous court-mandated drug addiction treatment program.

“We certainly hope that Ms. Love has gotten the appropriate drug addiction treatment and that she continues to maintain her sobriety”, a spokesperson for Mountainside Center states. “When you’re a star who is trying to stay in recovery and you are continually scrutinized for every move you make, the path to sobriety is often a challenging one. We understand those pressures and the pitfalls one can easily fall into, especially when they do not have the luxury of anonymity. No matter how much despair one feels, there really is hope—there really is a remedy. We all hope the best for Courtney and her daughter”.

For nearly two decades, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has led the way in offering individualized alcohol and drug addiction treatment programs. Pioneers in affordable drug addiction treatment, Mountainside combines cutting edge therapies with holistic treatment methods including inclusion of traditional 12-step therapies. As Mountainside’s licensed and certified counselors, social workers and treatment team serve, they strive to provide quality, compassionate care to each individual in a tranquil, peaceful environment conducive to optimal recovery.

How To Recover From Eating Disorders

any recovery centers treating eating disorders offer treatment programs to their clients. But few of them devote adequate resources to the eating disorder recovery process. In fact, many of the most “exclusive” facilities treating eating disorders in Los Angeles provide patients with grossly inferior eating disorder treatment services. As should go without saying, you can’t afford to trust your health to one of these institutions.

How To Recover From Eating Disorders

Anorexia and bulimia ruin lives. Eating disorders treatment can help to solve the problem, but only if it’s administered by people who know exactly what they’re doing. Those facilities treating eating disorders which employ inexperienced or unqualified eating disorder therapists do an enormous disservice to patients and their families. Here’s hoping you won’t have to learn that truth the hard way.

The most successful facility treating eating disorders in Malibu is also one of California’s most distinguished eating disorder treatment clinics. The reason is simple: The center’s eating disorders treatment specialists are leading figures in their respective fields. Their expertise has helped countless clients achieve meaningful and lasting recovery. Don’t wait any longer to include yourself among the lucky few.

Optical Express Cameron Toll Unveils Following Major Refit

Optical Express in Edinburgh’s Cameron Toll has been unveiled following a major refit, and is now poised to serve customers even better.

Optical Express Cameron Toll Unveils Following Major Refit

“The shop looks amazing,” said Clare Elliot, the location’s General Manager. “It’s been transformed, and looks very sophisticated. It’s created a great buzz.”

The location has been updated to be more consistent with other Optical Express locations, with a white, modern look, and tiled flooring to replace the older, tartan carpets. The result is a brighter, and more professional looking clinic, with less visual elements detracting from the wide range of frames on display. A number of new glasses and sunglasses are now available, including frames from Dior and Givenchy.

According to Elliot, the entire team is enthused about the location’s big makeover.

“The whole team is very excited about the refit,” Elliot said. “We’ve always known that we have great products, and can offer a great shopping experience, and now the store looks brilliant as well.”

The clinic is located by the south entrance of the Cameron Toll Shopping Centre, a mile and a half outside of the Edinburgh city centre. Throughout the entire refitting process, the clinic remained open.

“We really wanted to minimise any inconvenience to our customers,” Elliot said. “We underwent the refit so we can provide a better experience for our customers, but at the same time, we didn’t want to close down the store in the process and put anyone out. We structured our refit as to have as little impact on our day-to-day operations as possible.”

The location carries over a thousand designer frames and sunglasses, including Ray-Ban, Marc Jacobs and Gucci. The location also offers an array of contact lenses. A convenient 1-hour service is available for making glasses, so customers can have their glasses ready by the time they are finished their shopping.

Optical Express is also Europe’s number one provider of laser eye surgery, with over 100 clinics across the UK and Europe, including Edinburgh, providing pre and post-operative care.

Hollywood Drug Addiction Increases Number of Drug Rehabs

The bright lights and big city of Hollywood attracts young people in throngs with promises of fulfilled dreams and a charmed life. While the draw and the excitement initially seems like everything they could have hoped for, nowadays there’s a darker side—a side that is becoming synonymous with something other than fame.

“Hollywood is a hot bed of drug addiction”, a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center states. “With money and power, comes responsibility—responsibility that many find themselves unable to deal with. When arriving in Hollywood, they just can’t imagine a life other than what they had dreamed—a life of glamour, of fame, of fortune. They don’t realize the pressure that surrounds all of those things. When they finally realize their dreams, that unexpected pressure can cause an implosion and, instead of dealing with it in a healthy, productive way, many choose the easy way out—a way to numb themselves, a way to temporarily escape. And, often times that temporary escape becomes a permanent way of life until either they get into serious legal trouble or until someone who is genuinely concerned intervenes and gives them a wake-up call. They soon discover that their money can buy just about anything—except the one thing that truly eludes them: happiness.”

“California’s drug rehab centers are growing at an unprecedented rate and the catalyst for this growth is unrelenting.” Until there is a fundamental change in the Hollywood | Los Angeles party mentality, the only answer to its ever-increasing problem is effective drug rehab centers.

For nearly two decades, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has led the way in offering individualized alcohol and drug addiction treatment programs. Pioneers in affordable drug rehab, Mountainside combines cutting edge therapies with holistic treatment methods including inclusion of traditional 12-step therapies. As Mountainside’s licensed and certified counselors, social workers and treatment team serve, they strive to provide quality, compassionate care to each individual in a tranquil, peaceful environment conducive to optimal recovery.

Plastic Surgeons Treating More Patients With Disfigurement Caused by Cheap Online Botox

An alarming number of patients are injecting themselves with Botox injections they buy online to eliminate wrinkles and dark circles. They’re saving money, but many of them are ending up disfigured.

•  Botulinum Toxin-A proteins, a toxic biological weapon better known as Botox, are injected into facial muscles to treat wrinkles and fine lines.

•  Many people purchase this substance over the Internet for a fraction of the price of in-clinic treatments.

•  The inability to identify the substance, its purity, and the dangers of injecting the substance have lead to numerous facial deformities, unintentional paralysis, breathing problems, and even death in addition to other side effects.

Botulinum Toxin-A proteins or Botox are one of the world’s most toxic substances, CosmeticSurgeryGuru can report that even this hasn’t stopped thousands of patients f r o m purchasing it online and injecting it under their skin.

Commonly known as Botox, this substance is considered safe when used by professionals to eliminate wrinkles and fine lines. The protein goes directly into the muscle where it causes prolonged paralysis, and therefore, prevents the muscle f r o m contracting and forming the line on the outside of the skin.

CosmeticSurgeryGuru notes that in untrained hands, however, the treatment carries an extremely high risk of incorrect placement combined with an increased risk of disfigurement. In fact, plastic surgeons who have performed these procedures for years won’t inject themselves because of the danger. Currently cosmetic surgeries such as Transform the largest cosmetic surgery group in the UK state that “ Transform’s qualified and highly experienced practitioners will ensure that there are no side effects aside f r o m occasional bruising that may occur” taken f r o m their Botox page Surely the extra money is worth the peace of mind.

The Harley Medical Group Reports Rise In Laser Hair Removal

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, The Harley Medical Group has seen an increase in bookings for laser hair removal on the bikini line. The Harley Medical Group, has identified an annual spike in enquires around this time of year as women prepare for the romantic night. The treatment usually requires six to eight courses of laser treatments.

Laser hair removal is proven to permanently remove hair so, unlike with waxing, regrowth is not an issue.

Lisa Littlehales, clinic manager for The Harley Medical Group, said: £The real benefit with opting for laser hair removal is that you won’t have to worry about regrowth and unhygienic ingrown hairs, which can easily become infected as a result of shaving. To keep the female area smooth is a really low maintenance look, which is particularly good for time-limited women who don’t have hours to put into an intense grooming regime but who want a long-term solution to staying fuzz free.”

Laser hair removal, which has seen an increase of 15% year on year to date, is the most popular non-surgical procedure at The Harley Medical Group’s 27 UK clinics. The Harley Medical Group uses the Alexandrite (Class 4) laser designed to work on lighter skin, the YAG laser for darker skin and the Isolaz which can be used on all types of skin. All lasers penetrate deep into the dermis and as the heat builds up the hair follicles are disabled in the active growth phase, enabling effective hair removal.

All consultations at The Harley Medical Group are carried out by a fully qualified cosmetic surgery nurse counsellor followed shortly thereafter by a fully qualified and registered Plastic Surgeons. The Harley Medical Group has been established for more than 26 years and has 27 clinics in the UK and the Republic Ireland.

Police Only To Respond To Lone Worker Alarms And Services That Operate In Compliance With The Alarm Response Policy

Following the recent publication of the new lone worker standard BS8484, the Association of Chief Police Officers for England, Wales and Northern Ireland (ACPO) have confirmed that the standard has been included within its recently amended Alarms Response Policy that restricts police response to only those service providers operating in compliance.

Police Only To Respond To Lone Worker Alarms And Services That Operate In Compliance With The Alarm Response Policy

ACPO will now begin a series of national police trials commencing on 1st February 2010 with a small number of lone worker service providers complying with the policy. Argyll, the UK’s leader in lone worker protection services, is pleased to announce that it will participate.

The trials are designed to enable police to assess the volume, quality and the impact of alarms raised through lone worker devices and services on national police resources. The trials will last for up to 12 months to enable ACPO to collect sufficient data and the results will inevitably test the effectiveness of the service provider and may help to shape the final version of BS8484 lone worker standard.

The Dopamine Factor In Addiction

A recent study out of London suggests that individuals with high levels of dopamine may be more susceptible to drug addiction and may be prone to engaging in high risk behaviors and activities.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is responsible for the natural reward system and provides pleasure and motivation within the brain. The recent study finds that the more dopamine within the brain, the less sensitive an individual is to it. This finding could result in better drug addiction treatment, better ADHD treatment as well as treatment for a host of dopamine-related afflictions. The study suggests that regulating the dopamine within an individuals’ system may be more effective than blocking the dopamine receptors altogether.

“This is a very promising finding”, remarks an expert at Mountainside Addiction Treatment Center who have long been advocates of physiological and neural research. “A brain scan could be performed on a person in a higher risk group, such as those who have histories of family pre-dispositions to various addictions. There has been ongoing debate relating to neurobiological theories centered around the mesolimbic pathway, which these findings seems to support. The brightest part of this study is the potential for early intervention—that is crucial in any step of the addiction cycle. The earlier the intervention, the greater the chance for success. Obviously, truly anyone can recover with an effective rehabilitation program and the desire to change, however, statistics show the longer the addiction, the longer the recovery process.”

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center is a comprehensive and innovative provider of treatment for individuals suffering from drug addiction and alcoholism. In addition to its inpatient services the organization also takes part in advocacy, outcome studies and outreach efforts.

Finding A Drug Treatment Program With Everything You Need For Lasting Recovery

Sunset Malibu, an exclusive drug treatment center on the California coast, has long been a transformational force in the field of rehabilitation and recovery. Now, Sunset is announcing its redoubled efforts in providing clients with long-term support during the drug treatment process.

Finding A Drug Treatment Program With Everything You Need For Lasting Recovery

Addiction recovery doesn’t happen overnight. On the contrary, drug abuse is a resilient disease, and drug treatment can only succeed if it’s driven by sustained effort. The most effective drug treatment program is the one that ensures the long-term health of its clients, with everything from sober living programs to independent 12-Step support networks. In the end, any inferior standard of care is doomed to fail.

Those considerations, in turn, are at the heart of Sunset Malibu’s treatment philosophy.

With its world-class caregivers and elegant accommodations, Sunset Malibu is an unparalleled recovery destination. The center has always catered to upscale clients from 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, the client always comes first.

“Our clients come to us because they want to get better forever,” said Sunset Malibu’s Clinical Director. “It’s our role as a drug treatment program to help them do that, by ensuring that they’re fully supported through every phase of the healing process. We believe that our commitment to sober living and aftercare programs is reflected in our robust record of clinical success.”

Unfortunately, that passion for long-term treatment is precisely what sets Sunset apart from its competitors.

Any drug treatment program can talk about the importance of long-term recovery. It takes a special institution, though, to actually live up to its own standards. The fact of the matter is that many of the most “exclusive” drug treatment centers in Los Angeles essentially abandon their clients at the end of their primary rehab programs. As should go without saying, these clinics can’t be trusted to promote meaningful or lasting wellness.

Under the circumstances, argues Sunset Malibu’s Clinical Director, those shortcomings are inexcusable.

Sunset Malibu offers luxury alcohol and drug treatment programs located in Malibu, California. For further details about Sunset’s treatment strategies, accommodations, or other general facts about drug treatment, please call 1-800-332-9202 or visit our Web site at http://www.drugrehabsunsetmalibu.com/.

Narconon Holistic Residential Treatment Center Gives Life Back to Families Permanently

After a year of watching Lindsey B. waste away from an addiction to crystal meth, her family held an intervention with the help of a Narconon holistic drug rehab counselor. The mother of three children was throwing her life away, and her loved ones had had enough.

Narconon Holistic Residential Treatment Center Gives Life Back to Families Permanently

“The intervention made me realize that my family knew I had a problem,” recalled Lindsey, “and that I really wanted help. I came to the Narconon drug treatment center the same night as the intervention. I was ready to change my life and was open to what Narconon had to offer me.”

Just like Lindsey’s family, many don’t know where to turn when a loved one has a drug addiction but will not seek treatment. Lindsey’s family turned to Narconon VistaBay, where an intervention specialist was assigned to help prepare the family for the painful and difficult conversation to come. During the intervention, the specialist kept the conversation productive and on track, with the end result being Lindsey agreeing to Narconon drug rehab.

Once at one of the Narconon holistic rehabilitation centers, Lindsey began a physical detoxification to rid her body of drugs. Clearing the body of all drug residues, through daily sauna treatments and exercise, is an important part of the Narconon drug rehab process. Once the body is healthy, Lindsey began individual and group therapy sessions to discover the reasons behind her addiction. Throughout her recovery, Lindsey’s family received regular updates regarding her progress. At her graduation, they were there to applaud her success.

“Narconon is great,” said Lindsey on the day she graduated from the Narconon holistic drug rehab at VistaBay. “All of the staff and students have been excellent throughout my entire time here … Narconon offers a way to find out who you really are and informs you of all of the possibilities life has to offer. I could never have found them without Narconon.”

Narconon Holistic Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs in California

When it comes to drug and alcohol rehab, Narconon Vista Bay has a unique approach: physical detoxification combined with cognitive individual and group therapy. Add into the mix family involvement, a relaxing setting in the Sierra Foothills and no fixed length of stay, and it’s easy to understand why Narconon Vista Bay has higher success rates than traditional drug and alcohol treatment programs.

The Narconon treatment begins by ridding the addict’s body of all drug and alcohol residues. Months or years of abuse can cause a build up of these residues in the body, and even if the addict does not use drugs those residues can enter the blood stream and trigger physical cravings. Daily sauna treatments, exercise and vitamin supplements help to flush the residues from the system, allowing the addict to move onto the next phase of the Narconon holistic drug rehab treatment: cognitive therapy.

Individual and group therapy are a vital part of Narconon holistic drug rehab. Until an addict addresses the behavior and stresses that lead to the addictive lifestyle, he can not heal. Once the addict takes ownership of his mistakes, he then learns new skills that will help him lead a sober life. Shopping trips and hikes in the relaxed setting of small-town Placerville allow the addict to test those skills before returning home. Throughout this phase, the family can play an important part by joining the addict in therapy.

Even after the addict has successfully completed both physical detoxification and the multiple therapeutic steps, there is still work to be done. Counselors at Narconon Vista Bay create a personalized, graduate assurance program that keeps the client and his immediate family in touch with the facility for a full year after graduation. The professional staff at Narconon Vista Bay doesn’t want to see all of its – and the addict’s – hard work go to waste.

idPatients Now Choose Between Saline and Silicone Breast Enhancement

Patients wanting to improve their bust line will eventually need to choose between saline and silicone breast enhancements. In the 90s, there were some concerns raised that silicone implants were tied to health issues, but years of extensive research and testing could find nothing. This means that, while doctors may recommend one or the other for specific reasons, patients will still need to weigh the pros and cons of choice and make the final decision.

idPatients Now Choose Between Saline and Silicone Breast Enhancement

Silicone breast implants are made of a silicone rubber shell filled by the manufacturer to a specific size with non-toxic silicone gel. They come with various shell types, volumes, colours, shapes, and thicknesses to help physicians make them appear as natural as possible. However, it’s important to note that this variety is not adjustable and requires a larger incision below the breast because they are prefilled.

With the same outer shell as silicone implants, saline devices are filled with a saline solution, which is better known as a saltwater solution. They can come prefilled by the manufacturer to a specific size, or they can come deflated.

The deflated versions are favoured because they can be placed through the belly button, under the arm, around the areola, or under the arm through a small incision. This provides plastic surgeons with a number of options to hide the incision. Then, physicians can fill them to the correct size and firmness. Adjustments can then be made at any time through a minor surgery.

Patients do state the saline implants feel harder than normal and have a texture that resembles a water balloon. To help offset this effect, however, new surgical techniques have made it possible for plastic surgeons to set the implant behind the chest muscle in addition to overfilling it slightly.

Plastic surgery experts warn patients that there are risks involved with this procedure, regardless of the implant chosen. Permanent damage, infection, excess scar tissue, breast pain, and the need for additional surgeries are just a few of these risks. Both materials are also at risk for leakage. A leak in saline implants, however, is almost instantly noticeable while silicone implants are difficult to see because the gel leaks and collects in the surrounding tissue. Silicone and saline implants can also interfere with the detection of breast cancer and dense tissue.

Acclaimed Miami Cosmetic Dentistry Practice Welcomes Dr. George Kolos to Team

Internationally recognized cosmetic dental practice Smile South Florida has recently added a top Miami cosmetic dentist to its lauded staff. Bringing 20 years of cosmetic and restorative dental experience to his new home at Smile South Florida, Dr. George Kolos, DMD, looks forward to providing his patients with beautiful and healthy smiles for years to come.

Acclaimed Miami Cosmetic Dentistry Practice Welcomes Dr. George Kolos to Team

Dr. Kolos is currently practicing from Smile South Florida’s Miami Cosmetic Dentistry, Fort Lauderdale, and Boca Raton offices. The Miami dentist was invited to join Smile South Florida due to his body of work as a Ft. Lauderdale cosmetic dentist, his status in the dental community, and his personal relationship with Smile South Florida’s leading dentist, Dr. Charles Nottingham.

“The opportunity to practice alongside my colleagues at Smile South Florida was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up,” says Dr. Kolos. “The team has made an impression across the globe as leaders in cosmetic dentistry. Working in this atmosphere of advanced technologies with a world-class staff that practices patient-friendly treatment makes it easy to come to work ready to make a difference in my patients’ lives.”

When possible, the cosmetic dentist prefers to treat patients with less invasive, less painful methods such as Waterlase dental laser treatment. Waterlase treatment is an advanced dental restorative tool that replaces traditional dental drills.

Whereas drills necessitate the use of anesthesia and create painful, traumatic experiences, Waterlase can remove tooth decay and perform periodontal (gum) treatment with less discomfort to the patient. In fact, Waterlase treatments have little need for anesthetics due to its less-invasive nature comments Dr. Kolos.

“I may be at a different office, but I will always be treating my patients delicately and with the utmost respect,” says Dr. Kolos. “I hope to see many of my patients from my private practice at Smile South Florida and I am looking forward to making new connections with new patients as well.”

Prior to joining Smile South Florida, Dr. Kolos practiced from his private Fort Lauderdale dental practice for 20 years. Dr. Kolos is an adjunct professor at Nova Southeastern College, the Broward County’s Dental Association’s (BCDA) President, and is a Waterlase dental laser instructor. The Ft. Lauderdale dentist also gives back to the community through the Give Kids A Smile program, volunteer work at food banks, and planting mangroves at Kids Ecology Core.

Health Care Reform Hangs In The Balance

Health care reform hangs in the balance. 1 in 6 Americans are uninsured. Health care costs are skyrocketing. With all of these factors, it’s no wonder that individuals who desperately need drug rehab believe they are unable to afford it.

It is estimated that the average daily stay in a drug addiction treatment program is $1,250, a cost that’s prohibitive to most addicts. Factor in the lack of credible information available to drug users and those two things just add to the growing list of reasons why individuals don’t seek the treatment that could definitively change their lives.

For the past 12 years, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has been providing affordable drug addiction treatment to those who may not be able to otherwise afford it. Their programs are cutting-edge, intuitive, flexible and empathetic- all the qualities of a top-rate residential program.

“Over a decade ago, we established ourselves as providers of quality drug addiction treatment. In addition, we were pioneers in providing affordable drug rehab in a comfortable, beautiful and relaxing environment. Those ideals have remained constant and today we are still determined to provide the best, most affordable drug treatment program available. At a per diem cost of $360, other programs pale in comparison. We’ve set out to help people recover from the addictions that prevent them from becoming productive assets to society. By providing quality, personalized care at a rate that is affordable for most, we believe we’ve put individuals in the position to become the best they can be. The next step is up to them.”

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center is a comprehensive and innovative provider of treatment for individuals suffering from drug addiction and alcoholism.  Mountainside’s licensed and certified counselors, social workers and clinical treatment team and staff are dedicated to providing an unsurpassed treatment experience to its clients.

Locating The Best Suited Alcohol Abuse Treatment For You In California

The best drug treatment center is the one that cares most deeply about its individual clients. Alcohol addiction is a personal problem, and alcohol abuse treatment must be a personal process. If you’re going to get sober, it’s going to be on your own terms, in a way that’s meaningful to you and no one else. The alcohol abuse treatment program that’s right for you is the one that can help you do exactly that.

There are plenty of alcohol abuse treatment facilities in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, they aren’t all equally committed to meeting the individual needs of their individual residents. On the contrary, many of the most “exclusive” rehabs in California offer the same generic alcohol abuse treatment programs to every patient who seeks their help. As should go without saying, these institutions can’t be trusted to produce meaningful or lasting alcohol recovery.

The good news here is that the best alcohol abuse treatment center in Malibu is different. The center’s exclusive alcohol abuse treatment programs are designed on a case-by-case basis, with the explicit goal of helping clients heal from the inside-out. That patient-centered approach helps to explain why the center’s residents enjoy such a robust rate of success. It should also leave no doubt as to where your interests will be best be served. Successful alcohol rehab will quite literally change your life. Here’s hoping you’ll be wise enough to learn that truth for yourself.

BestDrugTreatmentCenter.com provides information on one of the best alcohol and drug abuse centers in the world, where treatment programs involve individual privacy, luxury and a unique drug treatment therapy plan. If you’d like more information about a drug or alcohol abuse treatment center for you, please call 1-877-822-2307, visit our website athttp://www.bestdrugtreatmentcenter.com/, or contact us at admissions@bestdrugtreatmentcenter.com.

Age Before Beauty

Like a fine wine, over the past decade some celebrities seem to get better with age. With scores of stars starting 2010 looking better than they did ten years ago, a recent survey polled which celebrities have aged best.

Age Before Beauty

The poll ranked Jennifer Anniston amongst the top of the age-defying charts, whose youthful looks are proof that the big 4-0 is the new 3-0 in Hollywood. The Friends actress may have launched into stardom as Rachel in her twenties but time does not appear to have taken its toll on her face and figure.

From stars who have worn it well to well familiar faces that are just worn, the poll also picked personalities whose looks have deteriorated from a decade of parties and premieres. Named celebrities whose looks have faded with time included Britney Spears, whose past turbulent ten years have proved Toxic for her looks.

Narconon Holistic Alcohol Rehab Programs With the Highest Success Rates

Beating an addition to alcohol isn’t easy, which is why those suffering should seek treatment from a program with a proven track record. Seventy percent of alcoholics who graduate from the Narconon program are still sober five years after treatment, compared to the average 15 to 20 percent success rates of traditional 28-day programs. Narconon VistaBay combines physical detoxification with cognitive therapy to achieve these amazing results, and the fixed cost with no time limit ensures that an alcoholic can heal at his own pace.

The first step toward helping an alcoholic reach his goal of sobriety involves clearing the alcohol from his system. This isn’t as simple as stopping drinking and waiting for the effects to subside. Alcohol, like drugs, leave residues in the system. Those residues are stored in fatty tissues then released later, which can trigger mental and physical cravings. Through daily sauna treatments, exercise and vitamin supplements, Narconon Vista Bay helps the alcoholic rids his body of all traces of alcohol. With the residues gone, the chances of succeeding as a sober individual increase.

Once the alcoholic has gotten clean, the Narconon program begins to look at the causes of the addiction. Through individual and group therapy, the client studies the behaviors and relationships that were a part of his former life as an addict. He must recognize that they lead to his alcohol abuse, before he can move toward life as a sober member of society. Once he has accepted his role in the addiction, he can begin to learn new life skills that will help him to cope in ways other than the abuse of alcohol. The lovely setting of Placerville, in the Sierra Foothills, comes into play at this point for Narconon VistaBay clients. The small-town atmosphere provides low-stress outings, such as supervised shopping and hiking trips.

In addition to its drug-free, holistic approach, Narconon Vista Bay also differs from other alcohol addiction programs with its length-of-stay flexibility. No two people are the same, which means no two alcoholics will recover at the same pace and during the same time period. Traditional, 28-day programs exist at that length simply because that is what most insurance companies will cover. With its fixed cost, no time limit approach, Narconon Vista Bay allows the alcoholic to stay until he is healthy and whole. Graduates of the Narconon program say the combination of a mind-body approach and the relaxed, heal at your own pace attitude are what helped them find another way to live.

Try Narconon Holistic Drug Free Drug Addiction Recovery Program for a Permanent Solution

It doesn’t make sense to treat drug addiction with a drug, so Narconon VistaBay doesn’t do it. The Narconon holistic drug rehab program instead focuses on detoxification of the addict’s body as part of an approach that also addresses the reasons for the addiction in the first place. The peaceful setting of Narconon VistaBay – beautiful Placerville, California – also contributes to the high success rate of the facility.

Narconon VistaBay begins by creating a personalized program for each client. First, an addict must rid his body of drug metabolites. With prolonged drug use, a person’s body loses the ability to rid itself of all drug residues. These residues, or metabolites, are stored in fatty tissue and released into the bloodstream months, even years, after the initial drug use. Metabolites trigger mental and physical cravings in an addict, even if he has long been sober. The Narconon holistic drug rehab program includes daily sauna therapy and exercise, plus vitamin supplements, to rid the addict’s body of drug metabolites. The results are immediate: reduction or elimination of cravings and improved mental abilities.

Once the client has cleaned up his body, the staff at Narconon VistaBay begins to help him clean up his behavior. Through cognitive therapy, the addict studies his addiction lifestyle and thought processes. He also examines his relationships with friends and family. Once the client fully recognizes and accepts how his behaviors lead to a life of addiction, then he learns new life skills that will help him to cope as a sober member of society and to regain his self-worth. Supervised hiking and shopping trips in and around the small town of Placerville help the client rejoin society at a slow, peaceful pace.
