Affordable Drug Rehab Offers Renewed Hope For Sobriety

Cost should not be a factor for getting sober and staying that way, but unfortunately that is the reality for many individuals who are addicted to drugs and alcohol.

With no end in sight for skyrocketing health care costs, drug addiction treatment is out of the reach for those who just can’t afford the very high daily costs of treatment. Fortunately, over 12 years ago, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center in Connecticut answered that challenge by being one of the first drug addiction treatment centers to offer affordable drug rehab.

Affordable Drug Rehab Offers Renewed Hope For Sobriety

“Living a full life- a life free of drugs and alcohol shouldn’t belong to the privileged few who can afford treatment, “ begins a spokesperson for Mountainside. “We’ve always believed that everyone should have an equal chance at sobriety, so we designed a unique and comprehensive treatment program that virtually eliminates cost as a factor. Since we began our program, others within the treatment field began to pay close attention to what we were doing, particularly when the then White House Drug Czar, John Walters, invited Mountainside to Washington to discuss the effectiveness of our program. Since then, our program has become the model for drug rehabs worldwide.”

An innovative approach to drug rehab is necessary to successful recovery and Mountainside’s drug addiction treatment program combines several innovative facets of treatment into one cohesive program. Their sobriety success rates are unparalleled in the field, and they credit such long-term success to their unique and innovative treatment program.

While there are many different treatment philosophies utilized throughout the industry, the one that has been found to be most effective is an individualized approach to treatment— at Mountainside, each person is evaluated and given what he or she personally needs on their journey to recovery. Mountainside pioneered such an approach and has helped thousands achieve long-term sobriety.

For more than 12 years, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has led the way in offering an innovative and individualized alcohol and drug addiction treatment program. Mountainside’s licensed and certified counselors, social workers and treatment team provide quality, compassionate care to each individual in a tranquil, peaceful environment conducive to optimal recovery.

Procedures Increase With 40+ Post-Divorce Women

The Harley Medical Group has reported a 9% (year-on-year) rise in women aged 40+ years booking in for anti-aging surgery and non-surgical procedures as an ever-growing number of older women in the public eye get into relationships with men markedly their junior. The group has also noted a spike in the number of divorcees investing in cosmetic procedures to help them find new confidence.

Clinic staff have reported that many female patients aged 40+ are increasingly using divorce settlement money to fund cosmetic procedures. Liz Dale, director at The Harley Medical Group, commented, “We’ve all read about Sharon Stone, Janice Dickinson, and Sam Taylor-Wood embarking on affairs with younger men but it’s not just celebrities who are looking for new relationships in middle-age. Women aged 40-plus are increasingly citing embarking on a new relationship as a reason for undergoing rejuvenation treatments. We estimate that around 30% of our 40+ patients are divorcees.”

Mark Keenan the founder of the online divorce service, Divorce Online, commented: “Women are increasingly factoring in extra money in their divorce settlements for cosmetic treatments. After a stressful, unhappy divorce period many want to overhaul their life and often having a relationship with a younger man helps them feel energised. We are seeing more and more women making the most of the extra money and time they have by, for example, going travelling, buying a car or getting some cosmetic work done – our clients see it as part of the starting-over process.”

Liz Dale concluded, “Women simply want to look as young as they feel – inspired by older style icons like Stephanie Beecham and Susan Sarandon. It’s natural that young men will sit up and take note of these powerful, attractive women who aren’t afraid to get the most out of life.”

Research: Facebook Users Are Hiding The Fat Facts

According to new research by LighterLife, millions of Brits* are unwilling to upload their photos to Facebook because they’re so embarrassed by the way they look.

Research: Facebook Users Are Hiding The Fat Facts

45% of women surveyed said they would never put ‘fat’ photos online, while 14% of women un-tag themselves in every single photo of them that appears on Facebook. One in ten women admitted to feeling sick when they saw their picture on Facebook and in extreme circumstances 13% avoid being photographed altogether just in case the photos end up on the social networking site.

Sue Dover, Sales and Marketing Director at LighterLife, which carried out the study, said: ”It’s such a shame that people are not choosing to share their Facebook photos, and in extreme circumstances pretending to look like someone they’re not. It’s indicative of the pressure placed on people, particularly young women, in our society to look a certain way that is causing this to happen.”

Faith Johns, a self-confessed de-tagger said, “I often use older photos from when I was a lot slimmer. If I do put up recent pictures then I’ll be careful only to show my face so it’s harder to see my actual size. Being tagged and seeing how big I am has contributed towards me feeling very low about my weight.”

10% of the 2,000 people surveyed by OnePoll admitted putting out-of-date photos online so people think they look as good as they did when they were younger. Interestingly it appears men are more reluctant to give up the past than women. 10% of men were unwilling to put up recent pictures as they were afraid of what old colleagues and friends would say about how much they had changed, in comparison with 6% of women.

One in ten admitted to using a photo of someone else on their social networking profile, like their dog, an avatar or cartoon drawing, to avoid old friends and work mates seeing the ‘real’ them. Whilst one in twenty even admitted to uploading pictures of a better-looking person, like a more attractive friend, to get more attention from the opposite sex.

But it’s not all bad, as 18% only put recent pictures of themselves online to show old friends and work colleagues how much they have changed. And 13% use Facebook to show people how successful their weight loss has been.

The Harley Medical Group Challenges Traditional Beauty Solutions

The Harley Medical Group is launching a new advertising campaign designed to highlight the more practical solutions offered by cosmetic and non surgical procedures.

The Harley Medical Group Challenges Traditional Beauty Solutions

The UK’s largest cosmetic surgery company hopes to tap into the day-to-day concerns of the ‘ordinary’ person to demonstrate how, contrary to some common perception, cosmetic solutions can give less dramatic and more functional beauty solutions.

The adverts, designed by Medicine Man, include an image of the bottom half of a bikini-clad woman’s body with the tag line “Bad hair day…ever considered laser hair removal.”

Another highlights how on average a woman will shave her legs 11,500 times – suggesting laser hair removal as a safe, permenant and hassle-free alternative.

Liz Dale, Director, The Harley Medical Group commented, “The adverts are now appearing on the back-end of buses across the UK. We deliberately set out create advertising that will make people do a double-take and demonstrate clearly how cosmetic and non surgical treatments can be an effective solution to unwanted hair or the removal of stubborn fat .”

The series of five adverts cover liposuction, breast surgery, lines and wrinkles treatments and laser hair removal.

FDA Blunder and Cover-up Kills Millions

The World Health Organization (WHO) has just recommended that drinking water contain 25-50 mg of magnesium (Mg) per liter to prevent deaths from heart attack and stroke. MgWater.com/download American bottled water averages <5 mg of magnesium per liter, while bottled water in the rest of the world averages about 20 mg of magnesium per liter.

FDA Blunder and Cover-up Kills Millions

The FDA and DOJ caused the Mg-deficient-water problem by destroying the American mineral water industry in the 1930’s, in the mistaken belief that pure water was good, and that mineral water was just impure water.

Epidemiological studies indicate that millions of Americans have died due to the FDA’s and DOJ’s destruction of the American mineral water industry. See:
http://www.mgwater.com/anderson.shtml
http://www.mgwater.com/lancet.shtml
http://www.mgwater.com/finland.shtml
http://www.mgwater.com/singh.shtml

For decades, the evidence has been overwhelming that Americans are very deficient in Mg, as evidenced by the 23% shortfall from the RDI, yet the FDA and DOJ have covered up their blunder, getting a Federal lawsuit dismissed before the evidence could be shown, and keeping silent about the millions of deaths indicated by over 50 epidemiological studies from nine countries.

Now, it is up to the FDA and DOJ to end this travesty, requiring the Mg content of bottled or canned beverages to be put in labels’ nutrition panels, and requiring that all bottled or canned beverages contain at least 25 mg of Mg per liter.

Foods no longer contain as much magnesium as they did a century ago, due to increased food processing and possible soil depletion. Consumers have generally rejected magnesium-rich whole grain foods like brown rice and brown bread, in favor of magnesium-stripped white rice and white bread. Bottled beverages are the most practical way of delivering magnesium to consumers.

Recent studies clearly confirm that water-borne Mg is far, far better in preventing cardiovascular pathologies than food-borne Mg. For more information, go to the Magnesium Online Library at www.MgWater.com.

In the end, any other course of action is a recipe for failure.

Education Of Dangers Of Gateway Drug Use Leads To Decreased Need For Drug Rehab

When it comes to educating parents on the dangers of gateway drug use, it’s true that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Teenagers often times develop the attitude of “it’s only a cigarette. It’s only one drink. It’s only one puff.” Unfortunately, many of those same teenagers fall into a cycle of abuse, with the next hit being greater in quantity and greater in effect than the last one. That’s why it’s so important to educate parents on the dangers of the use of the four major gateway drugs: tobacco, alcohol, inhalants and marijuana.

“There are very few addicts who began abusing hard drugs initially,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center . “And, that goes for alcoholics as well. An individual doesn’t suddenly wake up one day and think ‘I think I’ll go shoot up some heroine today’ or ‘I think I’ll drink a gallon of vodka today’. It starts with experimentation and generally speaking, experimentation with one of four major gateway drugs. Once those substances begin to lose their psychological, physical and emotional effects the desire for more, swells. The individual then looks at what else is out there to satisfy that hunger for more and, what started off as a seemingly innocent one-time puff of marijuana or a couple of occasional drinks, becomes a downward spiral towards full-fledged drug abuse. The important thing for parents to remember is that it’s never just one innocent puff or drink. Teenagers who begin experimenting, evolve into young adults with a potentially serious problem. It’s important for parents to learn how to talk with their children about the dangers of gateway drug use so that they can prevent the need for future drug addiction treatment.”

One of the most important things a parent can do to prevent their teenager from experimenting with gateway drugs is to model the behavior they are wanting their teenager to exhibit. For example, if a parent who smokes wants their child to abstain from smoking, they’ll either need to kick the habit themselves. They could also get their teenager actively involved in the cessation process: explain the dangers of smoking, why it’s important to quit and also share their struggles as they are trying to quit themselves. As uncomfortable as it may seem and as much as teenagers protest, they really do prefer honesty and nothing is more honest than transparency during the process.

Some of our counselors are dedicated to diagnosing an individual’s addiction history; others are focused on relapse prevention, education and issues that are gender-specific. We have a group of counselors that also work within our Mind-Body-Spirit and Yoga program, helping a person deal with the stresses that, often times, can trigger relapse. There’s also a team that is dedicated to focusing on group and individual responsibilities through our Adventure Based Initiatives program. And finally, we have another team that focuses solely on developing a plan for aftercare and continued support. Although each specific group of professionals fulfills a specific role within the recovery process, all work together to form a cohesive team of drug rehab professionals whose cumulative experience is unsurpassed by any other drug addiction treatment center. This team works together with the client to insure that he/she receives an individualized treatment plan that is created specifically to meet his/her needs.”

Drug Treatments with the Largest Treatment Center Directory

Treatment-Centers.net When it comes to discovering a need to differentiate among the various drug treatments, then Treatment-Centers.net is the solution. Not only do they have the largest selection of information about drug treatment centers, but they also have tips for addiction intervention, multiple diagnosis, and important questions to ask various facilities.

Performing an Addiction Intervention can be a difficult task. It requires serious thought and considerable planning in order to ensure that there is an optimal chance that the individual chooses to go into drug rehab. Visiting Treatment-Centers.net can be of great benefit so that the addiction intervention is well-planned and well-understood.

It is a good idea to research information about various drug treatments that are available prior to an addiction intervention. It may also be beneficial to speak with someone who can answer questions and provide assistance if additional help is sought. The individuals at Treatment-Centers.net are available to not only help find a drug treatment center, but they are also available to the public to help provide assistance and direction for a successful addiction intervention.

Drug treatments have come a long way in comparison with the traditional 12-step program. Although the 12-step program has proven successful for several individuals, there has been an increase in the number of alternative treatment centers. Many of the alternative drug treatment centers are able to create success when others fail.

The most idealistic scenario is that after a single addiction intervention the individual chooses to go into treatment and the treatment results in permanent sobriety. Oftentimes, addiction intervention requires significant persistence in order to convince an individual to check into a drug treatment center.

Additionally, there is no drug treatment center that can guarantee 100% success. Therefore, it may be necessary for an individual to go into drug rehab a number of different times.

Vistabay of California Announces their Vista Bay Drug Rehab 1000 Plus Graduate Awards

Vistabay drug rehab is a pioneer in the drug and alcohol rehab industry. The announcement of over one thousand graduate awards is a significant indeed. Vistabay measures their success by attaining a permanent state of sobriety for their clients. The result is a program that has a success rate of 76% compared to traditional 12 step programs, which can have success rates as low as 2%.

Their completely drug free and holistic program has provided successful drug and alcohol treatment for over 42 years. Philosophically, Vistabay rehab does not consider swapping one chemical dependency for a prescription drug as an effective means for treating addiction. The result is oftentimes an addiction to a different drug and by definition does not result in a state of sobriety.

For more information, there are a number of Vistabay videos available on the Internet, which provides more of an illustrative description of the Vistabay drug rehab program. As a non-profit organization, they are absolutely dedicated to helping people become liberated from drug and alcohol addiction.

As a brief description of the program, Vistabay rehab begins with a hot sauna detoxification process. This includes vitamin supplementation and fluid intake. The detoxification process helps to cleanse toxins and chemicals from the body naturally. The process helps to promote increased lucidity and clarity of thoughts.

After detoxification, there are a number of life skills courses that provide essential information regarding a wide-range of topics. The individuals then establish a discharge plan, which acts as a strategic plan for maintaining a life free from drug and alcohol addiction.

Some of the remarkable attributes of the Vistabay drug rehab structure include the open-ended stay duration. This means that every individual can take the amount of time that they require to ensure a drug free life. There are no additional fees for a longer stay, which reduces stress on the individual.

At Vistabay graduates that relapse while following their discharge plan may also return to the facility for up to 30 days at no additional charge. The Vistabay rehab program works. With over one thousand graduates and an exceptional success rate, Vistabay is redefining drug and alcohol addiction treatment.

Vista Bay Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment Facilities Go Green

Vista Bay Drug Rehab was perhaps ahead of its time. The holistic and drug free drug and alcohol treatment centers have been green for 42 years. Now it appears that the rest of the culture is catching up to this leading drug and alcohol addiction treatment facility.

Vista Bay rehab measures its success on the individuals that attain a state of permanent sobriety. They have been able to achieve a 76% rate of success toward this goal. While some may consider this number to be an average rating based on scholastic scores, it is really more like a AAA rating when compared to traditional 12-step programs that have success rates as low as 2%.

The Vista Bay holistic program begins with a detoxification process. A hot sauna, vitamin supplements, and fluid intake regime stimulates the body’s natural ability to cleanse itself. The result is a clean mind and purified body that is free from toxins and addictive substances.

With a clear mind the individuals in the Vista Bay drug rehab program are better able to understand and implement essential skills that are developed in the life skills courses. The life skills courses provide a foundation for improved decision making and coping mechanisms for the individuals upon graduation. There are several Vista Bay videos that help to further illustrate the program and may be found online.

With a solid foundation from the life skills courses a comprehensive discharge plan is established to assist individuals as they are integrated back into daily life. The discharge plan is tailored to the individual and provides a strategy for successful long-term sobriety.

As a complement to the holistic program of Vista Bay, they charge only a single fee for their treatment. The single fee includes an unspecified duration at the treatment facilities. This allows each individual to recover on their own time without the added concern of having to pay for an extended stay in the event that they are not ready.

Additionally, the Vista Bay drug rehab program has an option to return to the facility for up to 30 days in the event that an individual relapses while following their approved discharge plan. The non-profit organization definitely goes above and beyond in order to help people in their recovery.

Vista Bay videos are available online in order to help individuals obtain more information about the success of Vista Bay rehab.

Vista Bay Drug Rehab Facilities Take Holistic Alcohol Treatment Programs To Recovery For Life Success Status

At 76% success rate for clients that have completed the program and remained drug and alcohol free for a year, Vista Bay is one of the leading programs in the nation.

This philosophy combined with the holistic approach and the aftercare program results in extraordinary success rates.

The typical stay in the Vista Bay Drug Rehab program is 3 to 5 months but some clients may stay less than three months and others may stay six months or longer. The key is that each client begins the program with different skill sets and with varying degrees of needs. Because Vista Bay works diligently to insure that clients are ready to re-enter society before graduating, some will graduate sooner than others. This allows time to provide all clients with the tools needed that will help to provide a life of recovery.

A holistic approach is one that is extremely thorough and all inclusive. Each aspect of the person’s being is addressed. This comprehensive technique requires that the rehabilitation concentrates on physical needs as well as mental, emotional, social, and even spiritual. For more information about how the program works Vista Bay Drug Rehab videos are provided at the websites. These videos help explain the program and answer some of the frequently asked questions.

Vista Bay has one of the highest success rates in the industry. While the average success rate is 20% this program proudly boasts a success rate of 76%.

This distinctive approach toward alcohol and drug treatment is more thoroughly explained in the Vista bay drug rehab videos.

Thus the philosophy of Vistabay drug rehab is such that the clients are rehabilitated completely. This will include a focus on every aspect and the rehab is physical, mental, social and even spiritual in nature. Because Vistabay Rehab addresses each aspect of a client he or she is afforded a comprehensive recovery. This results in the client being better prepared to function in a healthy manner and re-enter society with the necessary tools to remain free from relapse.

This all-inclusive approach offers the best opportunity for a life free from drugs. It is the reason for the high success rate of Vistabay. The length of Vistabay drug rehab is dependent on the individual needs of each client. Some of the details are described in the Vistabay rehab videos that have been created for informational purposes.

In developing the method Vistabay considered that not everyone will start the program at the same level. This simply means that some people will move through the program at a faster pace than others. Vistabay Rehab provides a compassionate approach in this regard also. Regardless of how long it takes a client to complete the program no additional fees are incurred.

Physician Offers Own Brand Of Affordable Insurance Alternative

Cedar Park family medicine physician Melissa J. Urrea, M.D. believes taking care of your health shouldn’t be a difficult financial decision. And while the recently-signed Health Care Bill mandates that all individuals will be required to obtain health insurance by 2014, that still leaves several years of challenging options on how to best obtain quality medical care. That’s why she recently introduced through her practice, Trinity Family Medicine, a pre-paid package of medical services. Trinity HealthSpan â„¢ provides access to comprehensive health care to uninsured and underinsured individuals and families.

Nearly one in four Central Texas residents currently lives with inadequate or no health insurance — and that statistic is expected to rise as a result of the recession. Dr. Urrea’s plan helps to  bridge the gap between the need for and access to quality health care services.

For an annual fee of less than $800, Trinity HealthSpan â„¢ provides:

  • An annual examination (including prostate screening)
  • Lab work (including a complete metabolic panel, diabetes screening, kidney and liver function screening, electrolyte evaluation, complete blood count, anemia evaluation, thyroid function evaluation, cholesterol and lipid panel, urinalysis, urine protein evaluation)
  • Electrocardiogram (EKG)
  • Tetanus vaccination
  • Influenza vaccination
  • Three routine office visits (including follow up for a particular disease/condition and sick visits)
  • Access to coordinated services (such as labs) at reduced rates

The concept for Trinity HealthSpan ™ originated when Dr. Urrea was challenged with managing the care of chronically ill individuals who had no or limited insurance or were self-employed. “For someone with a condition like diabetes, allergies or asthma, it is imperative to focus not only on disease management, but overall wellness,” said Dr. Urrea. “That involves multiple visits to a physician, along with moderate diagnostic testing to monitor the condition.”

As the recession affected more and more of her patients, Dr. Urrea consulted with her practice’s business manager to determine how they could assist their patients in maintaining regular access to care. The practice reached out to ancillary service providers like laboratories and negotiated reduced rates on behalf of patients who purchase the Trinity HealthSpan â„¢ package. Trinity HealthSpan â„¢ also connects patients with pharmacies offering low-cost, generic prescription plans. Local retailers like HEB and Target offer plans that provide medications for as little as $5 a month, which is actually less money than most insurance plan co-pays.

For an uninsured individual not participating in Trinity HealthSpan ™ , the cost of the pre-paid package of services would be $1,050. Similarly, if an insured patient paid an average of $400 per month (not including deductibles and co-pays) in insurance premiums, they could save more than $4,000 annually by enrolling in Trinity HealthSpan ™ . “Even if the patient needed X-rays or an MRI, it would still be less expensive than through their insurance plan,” said Dr. Urrea.

“As a physician and patient, I wanted to bring peace of mind to those individuals and families who can’t afford insurance but deserve state-of-the-art medical services,” added Dr. Urrea. Patients may also purchase “a la carte” customized care packages with fewer services or those related to a specific health condition. Plan financing options are also available.

Trinity Family Medicine provides care for the entire family, including pediatrics, women’s health, men’s health, general medicine, herbal medicine, sleep studies, and cosmetic medicine. House calls are also an option for established patients depending on location.

Dr. Urrea is a graduate of the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB). She is board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine, a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians, and serves as an associate clinical professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
