The Harley Medical Group Has Revealed That The Number Of Nipple Correction Surgical Procedures Carried Out Has Risen 30% Year-On-Year

The Harley Medical Group has revealed that the number of nipple correction surgical procedures carried out has risen 30% year-on-year.

Mr Riccardo Frati, surgeon at The Harley Medical Group, appeared on GMTV to discuss nipple correction surgery with Lorraine Kelly. He said: “There are nipple surgery options out there and a minority of women seek to change the size or shape of their nipples through reconstructive surgery purely for cosmetic reasons. Another option, nipple elevation, involves the nipple being raised above its existing level to enhance its appearance and make the breast look more pert.

“At The Harley Medical Group we can also resolve the retraction of nipples, which can be a problem for women who want to breast feed.

“Patients having Breast Augmentations will often find their nipples will remain erect for a while after surgery though after a time the nipples will return to their normal state.”

As rumours abound that Victoria Beckham has had a breast reduction, The Harley Medical Group has reported that the celebrity trend for smaller, more natural looking breasts, is increasingly popular amongst women coming into the Group’s 26 clinics. 75% of women who have had a Breast Augmentation at The Harley Medical Group in the last six months opted to go up just one or two cup sizes. Reflecting the less-is-more attitude now taken by many celebrities including Jordan and Ulrika Jonsson, women are opting for a more ‘real’ look.

Liz Dale, Director at The Harley Medical Group, said: “Over the last year we have seen a definite move towards smaller, more natural looking breast shapes across both our reduction and augmentation business. Look-at-me, statement décolletage is definitely becoming less popular. This could in part be due to the global trend we have seen in a lot of consumer areas for taking a more subtle approach to personal presentation.”

All patients considering cosmetic surgery should ensure that their surgeon is trained and registered in the GMC Specialist Register as a Plastic Surgeon and ensure that their first consultation is carried out by a medical professional.

Travel Nurse Across America Expands Into New Offices

Travel Nurse across America, a national travel healthcare staffing company, recently completed the relocation of its executive and administrative offices to its newly constructed 21,000 square foot office building located in Northshore Business Park in North Little Rock , Arkansas.

nurse.tv

“This new facility was designed from the ground up with our travel nurses, travel therapists and client healthcare facilities in mind”, says Gene Scott, the company’s president. “The office layout will be much more functional and will facilitate better communication between departments and personnel that work together the most in serving our customers. I’m also happy for our associates as well. The proximity of our new offices to the Arkansas River Trail, a biking and pedestrian trail along the Arkansas River and the notorious Big Dam Bridge, the nation’s longest pedestrian bridge, will offer our associates opportunities to maintain a healthy lifestyle around their work.”

According to Mr. Scott, the travel healthcare industry has experienced a turbulent first half of the year, as most industries have experienced, as a result of the recent economic downturn. “The travel healthcare industry has been directly impacted because of the hardship placed on our client healthcare facilities – decreases in admissions, elective surgeries, access to capital and foundational giving along with increases in the number of uninsured patients and operating costs. As a result, there are less travel nursing and therapy jobs available. We have worked even closer with our client healthcare facilities to fill travel nurse jobs and travel therapy jobs in a fraction of the lead times of the past. Our travel nurses and travel therapists have shown great patience and understanding as we find travel assignments that meet their needs and expectations. They know these conditions will not last for long. The long-term demand for highly qualified travel healthcare professionals is still very strong.”

Even though the tough economic environment has caused consolidation within the travel healthcare industry, Mr. Scott says Travel Nurse Across America is well positioned to weather the economic storm, and even thrive in the current environment. Mr. Scott points to some recently released economic indexes that indicate the nation’s economy may be on the mends. “The Economic Cycle Research Institute’s weekly leading index measuring the U.S. Economy, which we follow very closely, returned to positive territory for the first time in over 22 months. Since the staffing industry in general is so closely tied to GDP, that was welcomed news for the industry, but we’ll have to see if that trend continues”

Travel Nurse across America is a national travel healthcare staffing agency that places travel nurses and travel therapists on multi-week travel assignments in client healthcare facilities in all 50 states.

Menopause Blamed For Rise In Receding Hair

Hair loss is often the hardest aspect of growing old, but for a number of people the problem is not confined to their later years.

And it’s not just men suffering from the affliction, with studies suggesting an increasingly number of post-menopausal women are finding their hairlines receding.

This new epidemic is a type of alopecia, which damages hair follicles so that hair falls out and cannot grow back.

The condition known as Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) can cause women to lose up to five inches from their hairline as well as their eyebrows. If FFA goes undiagnosed, women can even lose hair at the sides and back of their head.

Scientists believe that FFA is a result of the immune system attacking hair follicles, which causes inflammation at the root. This can damage stem cells in the follicles and prevents hair from growing back entirely.

The only treatment available involves controlling this inflammation, so only offers a reduction in overall hair loss rather than a cure.

However, the damage for most has already been done and the only alternative is to undergo a hair transplant.

The Hospital Group, one of the country’s leading cosmetic surgery providers, is at the forefront of hair restoration surgery, treatments and techniques. Those seeking a solution to their hair loss can undergo a hair transplant, which involves splitting the follicles of existing hairs and relocating them in the sparse area.

Providing expert advice and assistance, The Group carries out more hair transplantations than any other clinic in the UK and recognises that hair restoration is an art just as much as a surgical procedure.

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.

Gordon Ramsay Is Famous For A Number Of Reasons; His Cooking, Short Temper, Foul Mouth And, Notably, His Furrowed Brow And Chin

But not for much longer. Ramsay has admitted to having BOTOX® injections only a month after telling Australian TV presenter, Tracy Grimshaw, that she needed the treatment herself.

Gordon Ramsay

The controversial chef and host of “The F word” had his haggard chin smoothed after close friend, Simon Cowell, teased him about his looks.

When comparing pictures it is clear that his furrowed brow and lines on his chin looks far less pronounced.

There is also speculation that Ramsay may have had a number of facial fillers and a slight face lift under local aesthetic.

The chef is just one of many Brits who have decided to undergo non-surgical procedures to lift their spirits during the credit crunch.

The Hospital Group, one of the country’s largest provider of both surgical and non-surgical treatments reported a 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.

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.

Long Waiting Lists for Toronto Detox Programs – Drug Rehab Services Answers The Call

Many families living in Toronto, Canada, who are trying to help a loved one struggling with addiction can find it frustrating when they are not able to get through to an addiction help line. “When families call us, normally they have tried many other local numbers, and were unable to get through,” comments Marcel Gemme, the owner of Drug Rehab Services. “Many local services, especially in Toronto are so backlogged with patients, calls, and are normally understaffed, it’s not uncommon for these calls to go unanswered. Many families are quite relieved when they call our help line and they are greeted by a real person.” Limited resources are available for people looking for immediate assistance, especially those requiring medical detox. Medical detox can be a crucial part for someone’s recovery, more importantly for those withdrawing from alcohol and prescription medications.

drugrehab.ca

Drug Rehab Services has built a directory of over 4000 different treatment resources across North America. This includes, residential treatment that is long term and short term, outpatient treatment, detox, and medical detox programs. Their counsellors are available to handle any questions families may have about drug and alcohol addiction. With such a large population in the greater Toronto area, there are many long waiting lists for local services, and so many different people are looking for help. Because of these long waiting lists and understaffing, many of these services operate an answering service when you call, meaning most of the time you will not get through to an actual person to talk to. When a family does leave a message, it might be a couple days before the call is returned; once again this is primarily due to, lack of staff, lack of funding, and an overwhelming amount of phone calls.

The help line at Drug Rehab Services operates seven days a week, where trained and caring counsellors are available for families to talk to. If you or someone you know is looking for immediate help, call their toll free line at, 1-877-933-0344, or visit their website at, http://drugrehab.ca/.

Medelita Announces Record Second Quarter Performance

Medelita®, maker of breakthrough medical apparel for female clinicians, today announced that its second quarter fiscal year 2009 revenues have increased 119 percent, over last quarter. Medelita has been in business just over one year and sells its innovative lab coats and medical scrubs direct to consumers online, through authorized resellers and wholesale. In addition, the company sells its lab coats and scrubs at national and regional medical conferences.

medelita

“The economy has not slowed the growth of Medelita, with our second quarter seeing a 119 percent increase in revenue from our online and medical conference sales,” said Joe Francisco, chief operating officer, Medelita. “We are experiencing a tremendous conversion rate through our ecommerce channel and what’s even more impressive is the rate of returning visitor conversion, which is up almost 73 percent.”

Returning visitor conversion rate is up 72.50 percent, from 7.82 percent to 13.49 percent. This significant increase reflects the strength of Medelita products in a marketplace that offers limited choices for quality lab coats and scrubs.

Satisfied customers are returning to purchase new styles and additional colors, steadily replacing their existing medical wardrobe with Medelita products. The company attributes the garments’ high value and performance to building a solid return clientele base and is receiving unsolicited testimonials about its products superiority, fast turnaround and courteous customer service.

Medelita’s innovative approach to medical apparel was born out of necessity when founder, Lara Manchik, emergency room PA turned entrepreneur, failed to find alternatives to the frumpy, unisex medical apparel made for the male figure and representative of a time when men dominated the field.

Made from 100 percent high-denier cotton, Medelita lab coats are designed specifically for women with a focus on fit and function. The fluid resistant lab coats are treated with Advanced Dual Action Teflon® fabric protector, which allows fabric to repel and release stains. Tailored for a feminine shape, the coats feature traditional side slits, French finish inside seams and hidden inside pockets that are great for carrying handheld devices and mobile phones.

In addition to high quality lab coats, Medelita provides a line of performance women’s healthcare apparel, including clinician scrubs and nursing scrubs, which are available for purchase at www.medelita.com.

About Medelita
Medelita has one purpose: to reinvent the way women of all healthcare professions present themselves at work by offering the highest quality, best fitting, and most comfortable medical apparel available, including lab coats, women’s lab coats, women’s scrubs and medical scrubs. Medelita caters to professional women who want their uniforms to embody the poise and confidence already displayed from within.

Could The Right Luxury Drug Rehab Have Saved Michael Jackson From His Rumored Addiction?

While the recent passing of Michael Jackson was certainly a shock, was anybody really surprised? Less than a generation ago, he was at the top to the charts, the top of his popularity and the top of his game. As his quirkiness began to overwhelm his talent, the stories and rumors began: Michael took painkillers. Michael lived on vitamins. Michael was addicted to diet pills. It went on and on. He even made a music video about all of the stories in the tabloids.

The sad part is, it turns out there may have been at least a kernel of truth to the rumors. Ultimately, it appears somebody injected him with something he’d been told to stop taking. He collapsed; he died. And sadly, we are not surprised.

Drug related deaths among the rich and famous are hardly unique. The early days of rock are riddled with drug overdoses and alcoholism: Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, and Moon. As our heroes aged, not much changed. In 2002, the Who’s John Entwistle died from a drug-induced heart attack at 57. Bobby Hatfield, the soaring tenor voice of the Righteous Brothers, OD’d on cocaine in 2003 at age 63! Michael Jackson himself was 50 – not a kid to be sure, but far too young to die.

Obviously, drug addiction and abuse does not go away if you live long enough. It knows no age limit. It can chase you your entire life.

Fortunately, for all of the affluent people who’ve dropped off this planet from drug abuse, it’s safe to assume that many more have received help in luxury drug rehab facilities.

However, many of these places have no more faith in their patients than the patients themselves. Such “patch-up” therapy is all too common and all too unsuccessful in the end.

Other facilities, however, truly cater to the luxury lifestyle of its clients, while delivering what they promise: complete withdrawal from drugs and alcohol for life. There is a lot of truth to the idea that if you surround the addict in a worry-free atmosphere, they are able to concentrate on beating their addictions. Rehab centers such as these do exist, and are successful beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. This is in part because their exclusivity helps them to work so well.

If you drive along California Highway 1 and glance at the homes on the Malibu coastline, you might never imagine that the stars and other affluent people in those homes were doing anything other than living their lives. Yet some of the country’s most advanced luxury rehab centers can be found there. Its guests are often names you hear in entertainment, but also executive business people who’ve made their fortune and don’t want to lose it all to their habits.

If only more people – known and unknown, celebrated and anonymous – who can afford the finest rehab treatment were to seek it out amidst their California neighbors and co-workers, they would assure themselves that they wouldn’t be the next big headline, the next promising life cut short.

Orange Juice And Teeth – A Rotten Cocktail

A refreshing glass of orange juice with your breakfast might not be quite as beneficial as you once thought.

Recent studies have revealed that some juices are so acidic they erode teeth enamel with every sip. Dr Yan-Fang Ren, of the Eastman Institute for Oral Health, reported that the acid in orange juice ‘is so strong that the tooth is literally washed away’.

Using a revolutionary vertical scanning microscope for the first time, the researchers were able to see the extensive surface detail on teeth.

Such juice-drinking has further, negative implications; the unnatural acceleration of erosion of the teeth that it causes substantially increases the risk of development and spread of tooth decay.

However, for those among you on a quest for healthy, pearly whites, fear not! The Hospital Group, one of the country’s leading plastic surgery providers, offer a range of dental treatments in its specialist cosmetic dentistry clinics located around the UK.

Teeth whitening, pain-free veneers, white fillings and porcelain crowns are just a few of the popular treatments available at the NuSmile dentistry treatment centres across the country.

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

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.

Contact Details: Cliffside Malibu is a luxury residential eating disorder treatment center located in Malibu, California. 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. If you or someone you know is struggling with an OxyContin addiction, call their toll free hotline at, 1-877-254-3348, or visit the website at, http://drug-rehab.ca/

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.

Compare Health Insurance And Explore The World Of Alternative Medicine

Many emerging alternative therapies such as reiki, hypnosis and crystal healing are not yet available on the NHS despite their increasing popularity. Various studies have shown people really do believe in the power of complementary medicine – of course some are still sceptical – and it seems our health service is not keeping up with demand. Private health insurance policies do cover alternative therapies and if you can find the right policy, at the right price, by comparing different health insurance providers using online comparison sites, you will be able to explore the various options available to you.

insurancewide

For those interested but with a lack of knowledge, alternative medicine can be an intriguing and perhaps confusing world – and while they may be keen to seek out some form of treatment for an ailment, they are unsure of what is the correct choice for them. It helps to know exactly what you will get when you put yourselves in the hands of an alternative therapist.

Compare Health Insurance And Alternative Therapies

Acupuncture involves placing needles into specific parts of the body, to treat the symptoms of pain as well as illness and disease. It originates from China and is perhaps the complementary therapy with the most evidence to suggest it works – research suggests it can be effective in providing relief from minor ailments such as headaches and backpain. It can also work well at relieving nausea caused by cancer treatment.

Reiki is used by practioners to channel a persons ‘life force’ by laying their hands on the patient to produce a healing effect. It used to treat mental and physical stress and devotees swear after a session they feel energised and back on form. As it is an ‘energy medicine’ some scepticism surrounds it’s effectiveness, with critics claiming patients are merely experiencing a placebo effect.

Shiatsu, meaning ‘finger pressure’ is a form of Japanese massage – the practioner uses massage to adjust the bodies physical structure and inner energies to ward off illness. It is used to treat conditions such as insomnia, headaches, anxiety, back pain and skin irritations and can improve the nervous and immune systems – again sceptics point to the placebo effect but shaitsu massage has been proven to be effective.

Hypnotherapy involves placing a person in a relaxed state, almost a light trance, and then addressing their fears, addictions and worries. It is gradually being recognised as effective in this area – when a patient is placed under hypnosis their heart rate and metabolism slows and their mind is in a more suggestive state.

Not all private health care providers will cover every single alternative therapy available – there is still a great deal of suspicion surrounding the more ‘out there’ ones. If you are interested in having access to alternative medicine compare health insurance providers to find the right insurance for your needs.

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.
