The Harley Medical Group Reports Boytox Boom

The Harley Medical Group, the UK’s largest cosmetic surgery provider, has reported an increase in professional men aged 25-30 years, having Botox across its 26 clinics, with men accounting for 20% of all Botox patients. ‘Boytox’ is increasingly being used as a preventative treatment by men who want to stay fresh-faced, despite living hectic lifestyles. Botox is now the second most popular non-surgical treatment with men At The Harley Medical Group.

Dr Nick Milojevic, Botox doctor at The Harley Medical Group, said:”Young men in the City have been spending a lot of time frowning over the last year and we’re seeing the fallout. Men coming into the clinics are telling us that they want to stay looking wrinkle-free despite their demanding lifestyles. Many of my younger patients opt for ‘Baby Botox’, a lighter variation of the treatment that uses extremely low doses of the toxin, giving a subtle and natural effect.”

Botox injections are also increasingly used to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) to prevent the embarrassment of slippery handshakes, underarm sweat patches and dripping brows. Botox injections freeze sweat glands to stop perspiration in the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, underarm and chest areas.

In 2008 The Harley Medical Group also saw an overall increase of 6% year on year in Botox treatments.

The group’s Chairman, Mel Braham, advised that all patients ensure that their non-surgical treatment is carried out by a qualified professional. All patients at The Harley Medical Group, which has been established for over 25 years, undergo an initial consultation with a fully qualified Cosmetic Surgery Nurse Counsellor.

CliffsideMalibu.com Takes Privacy and Confidentiality Seriously

It has come to our attention that a 3rd party has written a Press Release about CliffsideMalibu.com without it’s authorization and in fact, wrongly stating that CliffsideMalibu.com had in fact written this Press Release. Nothing could be further from the truth. Without referring to the specific article but instead, posting our response on all of the websites that the previous article had been posted on we want to assure all past and future clients that no one at CliffsideMalibu.com would ever, in any way, shape or form enter into the practice of disclosing the identities of any of our cliental, no matter what the practice of other facilities claiming to be high end. Our statement is, always has been, and always will be, that we can neither confirm, nor deny, the admittance, past or present of anyone seeking private, confidential treatment at our facility.

It is clear CliffsideMalibu.com takes their client privacy and confidentiality very seriously. The facility is hidden away in a private, very exclusive part of Malibu. Not only is confidentiality of utmost importance due to the sensitivity of the treatment being provided there, but a great deal in fact because the patients that are treated at the center are often times very high profile. The owner, understanding this special need, wants to ensure that all of his patients can comfortably recover knowing that confidentiality is not a concern.

A quick visit to their site shows a client testimonials page, filled with an outpouring of gracious “thank you`s “, all signed with initialed last names or simply “Name Withheld”. Further demonstrating that their client names are always treated with seriousness in confidentiality.

With so many highly recognizable public figures finding themselves in need of addiction or disorder treatment programs, it`s no wonder the media and paparazzi have attempted to publicize and exploit the celebrity in need of such treatment. It`s easy to see such media frenzy has surrounded many of Hollywood`s elite, along with their attending treatment centers. Cliffside has recognized the risk in extending its services to the type of public figures that would bring the media and paparazzi swarming the facility. Not wanting to jeopardize the privacy of the other guests, they have even opted out of treating some high profile celebrities at their center. The guests at Cliffside can rest assured, knowing that the staff cares so much about their recovery they would deny service to high paying, Hollywood elite, before they would endanger the other guests safety and privacy.

I think it takes a special breed to own and operate a drug and alcohol treatment facility. You have to truly care for the people you are treating in order to cultivate a positive and effective environment. The patient’s successful recovery is paramount for the on-going success and reputation of the treatment facility itself. Cliffside`s staff has obviously come from that special breed. With a personalized treatment program guided by philosophy that boasts one-to-one patient/therapist interaction, coupled with the most peaceful and luxurious surroundings one can buy, it`s no wonder high profile public figures and local clients alike choose CliffsideMalibu.com as their treatment center. A great deal of the recovery process involves trust in the providers of that treatment. I am confident that trust has been earned and will continue to be given by all who have visited the Cliffside facilities.

This Press Release was written by Jenny Amato, a volunteer for CliffsideMalibu.com. For more information on the facilities drug rehab and other treatment programs, feel free to contact admissions@cliffsidemalibu.com or call 1-800-501-1988.

Drug Rehab – What Are Your Options

Options for drug rehab unveiled for the U.S. There are many different types of addictions out there.

Depending on what type of addiction you or your loved one is dealing with will depend on what type of treatment you are going to want to get. For example if you are addicted to alcohol you are going to want to go to an alcoholism treatment center. If you are dealing with a drug problem you are going to want to get help from a Drug Rehab facility.

There are a variety of different drugs that one can be addicted to. Not only can people get addicted to illegal drugs but also prescription drugs. More and more often it is occurring that people are getting addicted to prescription drugs because they can get them more often from their doctors.

Some people don’t even realize that they are addicted until it is too late. Some people get addicted by accident. For example they have a variety of surgeries one after another for one thing or another that causes them to be on prescription drugs for a long period of time.

Things that family members might start noticing are that your loved one keeps more to them self. They stop doing the things they use to love doing. They don’t hang out with friends anymore. They might start hanging out with people you would rather not have them hang out with. They start lying about things or making excuses for their behavior. They may also start acting sick a lot or saying they are in pain all of the time. The reason for this is so they can get prescription drugs from the doctor.

If you are seeing these signs or realize that you are doing these things yourself it might be time that you start looking into what is going on in yours or your loved ones life. This will help you to determine if there is a drug problem or not. In some circumstances the person that is being accused of having an addiction problem will not come out and admit that they have a problem. If this happens then you will probably need to get some more people involved and try to get down to what exactly is going on.

Once you have decided to get your loved one some help you will want to make sure that you look into all of your options. You will want to think about the pros and cons of every option available to you. You will want to make sure that you take into account how your loved one might react if they have to be put in a drug rehab facility. When you are looking at different drug rehab facilities you will want to make sure that you look at every aspect of what is involved. You will want to look at the different facilities and what type of staffing and activities they involve. You will want to look at where they are located at. Even if they are located in another state than which you live. Getting some one that has an addiction out of their own comfort zone may be a good thing depending on the circumstances. The reason for this is they might take it as they are starting over fresh. They may feel more like they are starting over new if they are not in their normal surroundings.

These are just some of the different things that you will want to take into consideration. When you are looking into taking the first step make sure that you really do some research about what type of help is out there beyond what you can do at home. Make sure that you get all of your questions answered.

About the Author: Chauntel Greenwald has been writing articles for years now. She loves what she does. She has done a lot of articles in the past about drug rehab. Over the years she has been able to learn a lot about drug rehab facilities which helps her to better understand the information that people who are searching for help are looking for.

Barack Obama Signs Proclamation Save Your Vision Week 2009 – BiCOM with Glaucoma Eye Test Diaton is Preparing to Help

Barack Obama, President of the United States of America proclaims March 1 through March 7, 2009, as Save Your Vision Week. BiCOM Inc home of Glaucoma Eye Test Diaton – non-contact Glaucoma Eye Test through the Eyelid is prepared to assist with vision screenings. Roman Iospa, CEO of BiCOM comments on Presidents support of glaucoma screenings. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are critical to minimize vision loss from eye diseases.

Proclamation by the president of the United Stated of America addresses the important issue of Blindness and visual impairment that affects millions of Americans. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are critical to minimize vision loss from eye diseases. During Save Your Vision Week – Barack Obama encourages all Americans to take action to prevent their vision loss.

BiCOM Inc. home of Glaucoma Eye Test Diaton Tonometer (IOP through the Eyelid), has been a long supporter of preventive glaucoma screenings. At a recent free glaucoma screening event where BiCOM in conjunction with SAVE Program (Sight for a Vision Exchange) and The Congressional Glaucoma Caucus Foundation conducted at New York City Children’s Services in honor of African American Heritage Celebration has revealed many with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) a major risk factor for glaucoma. Patients were referred to an ophthalmologist Dr. Lynnette P. Williams-Young a glaucoma specialist for further evaluation.

Unfortunately, most people have limited knowledge of blinding eye disorders. Based on National Eye Institute 2005 study, only eight percent of respondents knew that glaucoma, a condition that can damage the optic nerve and cause vision loss and blindness, strikes without early warning. Similarly, glaucoma also begins as a silent vision threat; as per Prevent Blindness America, it is estimated that of those Americans that have glaucoma, only half know they have it. It is estimated that 60 million Americans are at risk for developing glaucoma.

Everyone should be screened, especially with availability of new non-invasive (over the eyelid) glaucoma screening technology aka “Glaucoma Eye Test” Diaton tonometer available to optometrists, ophthalmologists and general physicians, enabling doctors to quickly and painlessly screen individuals at risk.

Several demographic groups are at higher risk for visual impairment, including teenagers, diabetics, Hispanics, African Americans, and the economically disadvantaged. Older Americans are more susceptible to eye conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. Children need regular vision screenings because vision disorders left untreated during childhood can lead to permanent visual impairment during adulthood.

President Obama stated, “Eye disease knows no bounds, and every American should take steps to protect his or her eyesight.”

To remind Americans about the importance of safeguarding their eyesight, the Congress, by joint resolution approved December 30, 1963, as amended (77 Stat. 629; 36 U.S.C. 138), has authorized and requested the President to proclaim the first week in March of each year as “Save Your Vision Week.”

“I’m pleased to see that President Barack Obama, with only weeks in the office is addressing an important issue of blindness, its early detection and timely treatment. My whole team at BiCOM Inc., and our partners are ready to continue our efforts and act on a larger scale by reaching out to many more people through awareness, training, glaucoma screening events and making “Glaucoma Eye Test” Diaton tonometer available to all that are willing to participate,“ said Roman Iospa, CEO of BiCOM Inc.

From the website of the White House:http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Save-Your-Vision-Week-2009/

“NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 1 through March 7, 2009, as Save Your Vision Week. During this time, I invite eye care professionals, teachers, members of the media, and all organizations dedicated to preserving eyesight to join in activities that will raise awareness of vision diseases and disorders.”

Lexington Medical Center and Providence Hospitals Reach Significant Agreement

After several months of discussions, Lexington Medical Center and Providence Hospitals are pleased to announce the terms of an agreement that advances both of their efforts to improve health care delivery in the Midlands of South Carolina. Specifically, Providence Hospitals will support Lexington Medical Center’s efforts to secure an open heart surgery program and Lexington Medical Center will drop its objections to a proposed expansion at Providence Hospitals Northeast.

Under the terms of this agreement, Providence Hospitals will support Lexington Medical Center in seeking regulatory approval through a joint Certificate of Need (CON) application. Within the application, Lexington Medical Center will request approval for one open heart surgery suite and the authority to perform open heart surgery and therapeutic cardiac catheterizations. If approved by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), Providence Hospitals will de-license one of its open heart surgery suites, allowing Lexington Medical Center to add a suite, in keeping with the 2008-2009 State Health Plan.

Lexington Medical Center has dismissed its lawsuit which opposes Providence Hospitals’ plans to expand and improve its existing Northeast facility. Additionally, Lexington Medical Center, upon licensing of the new heart program, would provide $15 million over a three-year period to Providence Hospitals in consideration of de-licensing one open heart surgery suite. Those funds will allow Providence Hospitals to reinvest in technologies and equipment for other service lines.

Lexington Medical Center’s unique situation as the only hospital located within Lexington County, with one of the state’s busiest emergency departments and a busy diagnostic catheterization lab, supports the need for a full service open heart surgery program to perform open heart surgery and therapeutic catheterizations. This agreement will allow Lexington to obtain such a program for the citizens of Lexington County.

Providence Hospitals believes that this joint CON application will not create new capacity in the open heart market, since no new open heart surgery rooms are being added to the service area. In addition, Providence believes that collaborating with LMC on the delivery of health care services and preserving the integrity of the health planning process is in the long term best interests of the Midlands community. While each of the hospitals will continue to be strong health care competitors, they may now also be able to explore additional strategies that would serve to improve patient care.

Providence Hospitals President and CEO George Zara noted the impact of working collaboratively in coming to a resolution on the issue. “In keeping with our faith-based mission, it is incumbent that we move past these conflicts to focus on our common goals of providing quality patient care.”

Mike Biediger, Lexington Medical Center’s president and CEO commented on the joint agreement, “For years, it has been our priority to make cardiovascular care more accessible to the people of Lexington County. We are now one step closer to achieving that goal. We fully expect that this agreement will allow us to address acute cardiac events in a more timely fashion, ultimately saving more lives.”

According to Thad Westbrook, chairman of Lexington Medical Center’s board of directors, “This agreement has been a long time coming and is an important milestone for citizens of Lexington County and the Midlands. The need for a full service open heart program for the people of Lexington County has never been greater, and we now see that our dreams may soon be realized thanks to this agreement with our colleagues at Providence Hospitals.”

Providence Hospitals’ board chairman Michael Kapp is optimistic about the understanding the two hospitals have reached. “I firmly believe that this marks a turning point in the relationship between Providence Hospitals and Lexington Medical Center. We have put aside our differences in order to pursue initiatives that will advance the delivery of quality health care for the people of the Midlands.”

Both Providence Hospitals and Lexington Medical Center appreciate the volunteer assistance of Mr. Frank Mood, senior vice president & general counsel for SCANA, during the mediation process.

Safe Landing For Fallen Addicts

Leave a comment

Revolutionary techniques and training utilized in therapy sessions at Cliffside Malibu provide addicts with a new outlook on life. This drug treatment center lies just outside the hustle and bustle of the Los Angeles area. In terms of what the center has to offer its patients, the surroundings seem like a world apart from the much more famous Los Angeles area.

Upon arrival patients will find competent staff members that are well versed in the area of drug treatment. 

Staff stand ready with open arms to welcome patients who are ready and willing to make that all important first step towards recovery. Therapy sessions are conducted on an individual and group basis. Other forms of therapy utilized by the center include massage therapy and integrating horses into a unique hands-on therapy that helps patients deal with the obstacles they are faced with and make a fresh start.

Cliffside Malibu does not believe that drug rehabilitation should be a carbon cut template process. That is no two patients should be treated for the same addiction in the same manner. The center goes to great lengths to establish an individual rehabilitation program that caters to who the person is as an individual. The generalization of the addiction behavior is left out of the recovery process.

Patients are evaluated by a primary therapist that will determine the best course of action in terms of the rehabilitation process. Each patient recovery program developed for drug rehabilitation starts with a determination of how the patient can best be treated for the addiction behavior. As this is being completed, therapists try to pinpoint if a second addiction also exists with the patient. The initial addiction is treated first and then subsequent ones after that.

Additional support reaches out to the patient’s family through a 3 day family recovery program as well. Through the three day process, Cliffside Malibu works with the family to repair the damage done by the patient’s addiction. Nothing will be fixed overnight but it is a step in the right direction towards healing the entire family. It is an essential part of the drug treatment recovery program that ensures a patient returns to a supportive environment once the treatment program has been completed.

Accommodations are not what one thinks of when the words “drug treatment center” is mentioned. Cliffside Malibu is not a typical rehab center. Several of the common areas in the center feature 180 degree views of the Pacific Ocean. There are areas isolated for meditation, relaxation as well as other recreations such as games and working out. Personal chefs are available to provide nutritious meals. Patient rooms offer all the comforts of home without harming treatment being received.

Some may criticize making accommodations comfortable and providing patients with activities such as hikes, walks on the beach and yoga classes. Staff at Cliffside Malibu would strongly disagree. Patients who enter drug rehabilitation are not being punished for the choices they have made in life. It is the direct opposite. They are working hard in therapy and other treatment aspects of the program to make a fresh start in life. Cliffside Malibu believes that providing comfort outside of the therapy setting can enhance all the hard work being done inside the therapy rooms. As patients feel comfort and safety, they are more likely to open up in therapy. By opening up, they are allowing the healing to begin and therefore working to rid themselves and their life of addictive behaviors.

Cliffside Malibu keeps all inquiries and patient information confidential and patients are ensured a welcoming, safe place to leave the destruction behind and create a brand new life once leaving the center. Additional information can be found online at www.cliffsidemalibu.com and via email at: admissions@cliffsidemalibu.com.

About Cliffside Malibu: Cliffside Malibu provides full scale treatment programs for a wide range of addictions. Staff is professional and discreet in dispensing the best course of action that serves an individual need to ensure the right course of action is taken the first time around. This ensures a successful second start to life in a healthy, happy, non-addictive manner.

Addicts Find A New Life At Drug Rehab Center

Leave a comment

Pieces of everyday life come together to create a social norm that gets people through the day. Some pieces are healthy and some are unhealthy pieces that posses the ability to unravel a person’s life in the blink of an eye. In those moments, drug rehab can be the saving grace in life.

Drugs are a readily available piece of everyday life. It does not take a detailed thought process to access various forms of drugs. With a little time and effort, everyone can pinpoint a personal connection to drugs in their life. The connection can come from a friend of a friend that deals drugs or from a shady part of town that offers drugs by the cart load. Cliffside Malibu stands ready in those troublesome moments to be that hand reaching out to provide much needed help and support. A drug rehab program at Cliffside Malibu is tailored to the individual and not the addiction.

Treatment begins by pinpointing the moment in life that a patient lost it all. That moment can come as a result of tragedy such as losing a loved one or just an overwhelming feeling from life getting the best of a person at one time or another. Cliffside Malibu recognizes that two drug addicts can not receive the same drug rehab and have a successful conclusion. That is why each treatment program matches an individual need to ensure that person gets the needed building blocks for recovery.

Cliffside Malibu takes a drug rehab program one step further by including the family of the patient. At first a patient may feel like the addictive behavior only affects them. As treatment continues, the patient begins to realize that the addiction caused negative behavior that directly affects the lives of those loved the most, family members. Special steps are taken to ensure that family members are included in the treatment process and educated on what to expect as the patient creates a new life. Family is provided with the understanding that the new life for the patient will be a constant daily endeavor. Support and love matched with the external guidance of the center will work towards a successful new life for the patient.

Upon arrival to the center, patients will find a warm and welcoming environment there to greet them. Many of the rooms feature a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean. Personal chefs are on hand to provide nutritious meals that will give physical energy to sustain a patient through the rigors of drug rehab treatment programs. Accommodations offer a comfortable place for patients to sleep and recharge bodies for the next step of treatment. Not every second of a patient’s stay at the center is focused on treatment. There are plenty of opportunities to relax and make new friends if desired.

Staff at the center approach drug addiction from several different angles. Therapy is offered on an individual and group basis. Opportunities for hands-on therapy are presented through programs such as equine (horse) therapy and massage therapy. Additional staff members in the drug rehab center include herbalists, acupuncturists and residential advisors. These advisors serve as a patient’s friend ready to provide support as needed to help through every step of the process.

Cliffside Manor offers a wide range of treatment programs for addiction behaviors. Among the treated addictive behaviors at the center are alcoholism, drug addiction, depression, anxiety and eating disorders. Additional information on all that the center has to offer can be found at www.cliffsidemalibu.com or by emailing admissions@cliffsidemalibu.com.

Treat The Individual And Not The Disease Says Cliffside Malibu

Leave a comment

It is virtually impossible to pinpoint the exact moment in life when one turns to an outside source for an internal solution. At times life can consume an individual and become so unbearable that something is needed to help ease the pain felt at the moment. Cliffside Malibu understands these moments and has designed a drug rehab program to cater to individuals who find themselves lost in an instant.

It is a pain often felt to the very core of a person’s soul and in those moments, there is no visible solution than turning to alcohol. The individual fails to realize how a split second decision turns from a temporary relief into an addictive behavior. Cliffside Malibu knows that is the moment when a person needs drug rehab the most. Addictive behaviors have a way of turning deadly in a heartbeat. What starts as a way to relieve stress quickly turns into a lifestyle choice that includes stealing from loved ones in order to feed the addiction.

The drug rehab center created by Cliffside Malibu works step by step with a patient to pinpoint the life events that led to the development of the addictive behavior. Through treatment, patients begin to realize that alcohol addiction disrupts not only their life but the lives of those they love the most. Rarely does an addiction such as alcohol affect only the individual. Family and friends bear the brunt of the addictive person who is struggling to survive.

There comes a point in every Drug Rehab program where the patient bottoms out. This is the moment when the struggle becomes too intense and the patient begins to feel that the battle will be lost. Cliffside Malibu comes into the picture at full force with a staff specialized in the discreet, safe rehabilitation to patients in need. Rather than treating the alcohol disease, Cliffside Malibu looks at the individual. All aspects of life are taken into consideration such as recent traumatic events or changes in the family structure.

Upon arrival to the center, patients undergo an analysis process to determine the best course of drug rehab treatment. Cliffside Malibu sits just outside of the Los Angeles area and offers breathtaking views of the ocean. Patient confidentiality is of utmost importance to the center. Clientele registers include politicians, movie stars and rock legends. Accommodations include private rooms, laundry and internet service and transportation off grounds if needed.

The rehabilitation program does not end once a patient has checked out of the facility and returned to everyday life. Cliffside Malibu firmly believes that drug rehab expands past the center walls and into a patient’s re-entry into the outside world. Family is consulted with to ensure that the course of treatment a patient receives continues with their full support. In the event a patient exhibits more than one addictive behavior, the center works to treat the most pressing behavior first and then each subsequent one following that.

Staff on hand at Cliffside Malibu to help a patient through the drug rehab process includes acupuncturists, massage therapists, holistic medicine practitioners and personal trainers. Services offered throughout treatment include various forms of therapy such as physical therapy and relaxation therapy and counseling on an individual and group basis.

Each patient receives cutting edge treatment options in a center that provides the comfort and safety that is often missing from a patient’s outside life. At Cliffside Malibu the cardinal rule of thumb is that success in drug rehab relies greatly on treating all aspects of a patient as a whole. This entails taking the time to recognize the physical and psychological sides of a patient and working towards a treatment from that point.

Drug Rehab Center Puts Patient Needs At The Top Of The List

Leave a comment

Inside of a secluded piece of land just outside the hustle and bustle of the Los Angeles area lays a place where individuals can seek help for an addiction and regain their control on life. Cliffside Malibu offers a drug rehab program that sees the individual first and the addiction second. The staff is experts in the field of addiction recovery and utilizes services and knowledge to establish a treatment program that can be tailored to meet individual needs.

Upon arrival to the center, patients will not find stiff, impersonal white walls with bunk bed style accommodations. Those accommodations are reserved for a traditional drug rehab center. There is nothing traditional about Cliffside Malibu. Many of the main rooms that patients will find themselves in offer 180 degree views of the Pacific Ocean. Living accommodations are available on a private or semi-private setting that offers all the comforts of home. Meditation gardens, outside patio areas and a comfortable living room complete with a television and games is made available to patients.

Cliffside Malibu offers treatment for a variety of addiction behaviors. Among those on the list are alcoholism, drug addiction and eating disorders. A variety of techniques are utilized in the Cliffside Malibu drug rehab program such as therapy on an individual and group basis. Some forms of therapy step outside the traditional treatment box. Staff utilizes physical therapies that maintain a hands-on approach and often includes psychological treatment as well.

One common reason many individuals seek out treatment at Cliffside Malibu is their alcoholism program. Staff at the treatment center fully understands that alcoholism stems beyond not being able to put the glass down or passing on an invitation to drink. There is the guided thought process that no two alcoholics are alike. Although there may be two patients suffering from an alcohol addiction, the same therapy program can not be utilized for both patients. Each must receive a personalize drug rehab program.

For that reason alone, Cliffside Malibu offers several varied approaches to drug rehab treatment. Therapists span a wide range of specialty areas such as equestrian therapy, spiritual therapy and hands-on therapy that include herbal and massage therapy aspects. Each of these therapy approaches work hand-in-hand with a personal chef and resident advisors that closely work with patients to help pinpoint the root of an addiction.

Cliffside Malibu fully recognizes that an addiction is rarely an act by itself. Many individuals enter the facility with a ‘single’ addiction such as drugs or alcohol. After some time in the drug rehab program, the realization occurs that there are very often two or three more addictions that have gone unnoticed in the patient’s life. Each one comes together to strip a patient of the things most valued in life and replace those things with negative aspects. Through careful, hand-on therapy, the patient begins to deal with each addiction and make that all important first step towards a new, healthy life.

Drug treatment often comes with a social stigma attached. Cliffside Malibu instantly removes that blocker by boasting a clientele listing that includes some of the biggest names in the music and movie industry. Patient confidentiality is of the upmost important to staff and personal information is never disclosed. This leaves patients free to gain the recovery needed and start building a new life without the fear of a social press conference being held at the same time.

About Cliffside Malibu: Cliffside Malibu provides full scale treatment programs for a wide range of addictions. Staff is professional and discreet in dispensing the best course of action that serves an individual need to ensure the right course of action is taken the first time around. This ensures a successful second start to life in a healthy, happy, non-addictive manner.

Alcohol Rehabilitation Center Provides A Second Chance Start To Life

At some point in time, everyone feels as if their life is spiraling out of control. In that split second moment, each person scrambles for that person or place that will help get them back on their feet and face life again. Cliffside Malibu alcohol rehab program provides that helping hand for alcoholics to reduce a dependency on alcohol and make a fresh start.

Research indicates that approximately 50% of driving accidents are caused by a drunk driver behind the wheel. Some of those impaired drivers will need a car accident to wake up and realize that they have a problem. Others may turn up their nose at the mere thought of someone getting behind the wheel of a car after having too much to drink needing an accident as a wake up call. For the Cliffside Malibu alcohol rehabilitation center, this situation is seen as a cry for help.

Staff at Cliffside Malibu maintains a professional approach to assisting alcoholics with treatment. There is no judgment or disapproving stares in this drug detox program. Personnel are technically equipped with the best tools needed to help an alcoholic pinpoint the root of the problem and make that all important first step towards recovery.

Cliffside Malibu is a full service treatment program providing alcoholics with a safe place to engage in drug detox to reclaim their lives. Before entering into a rehabilitation program, there are several things that need to be considered to ensure a person obtains everything out of the treatment program. First and foremost a patient must be willing to admit that there is a problem and open to seeking a solution for that addictive problem. Alcoholism is just one of the many addictions that the center treats.

Upon arrival patients will see breathtaking views of the ocean as the treatment facility lies just outside the Los Angeles area. Patient rooms are equipped with the comforts of home without including too many luxuries that may detract from the Alcohol Rehabilitation treatment focus. Amenities include gourmet meals, laundry service and transportation off center grounds as needed.

The Alcohol Rehab Program focuses on several aspects of treatment for each individual. Each aspect of the program coordinates with one another to ensure that patients are receiving the best possible treatment for their alcoholism. Aspects of treatment include therapy in both an individual and group setting. Physical and psychological components of the patient are also taken into consideration.

There is often a social stigma associated with receiving treatment for alcoholism. Cliffside Malibu removes that factor by boasting a clientele listing that includes politicians, movie stars and musicians. All patients receive the same confidential services regardless of what their social status is on the outside world. Staff is experienced, professional individuals that have patient success and best interests at heart at all times.

Everyone needs a safe place to come when addiction rules their life. Cliffside Malibu works to be that place for every addict.

Individual Addiction Treatment Plans Are Hallmark Of Cliffside Malibu

The experienced staff at Cliffside Malibu drug rehabilitation center all have one thing in common: the treatment and well being of each resident.

Located north of the white sands of Zuma Beach, Cliffside Malibu not only boasts a breathtaking, 180-degree view of the Pacific Ocean, but also a staff of highly experienced and caring individuals whose common goal is to successfully support people with drug and alcohol addictions through rigorous treatment plans and usher them back to their normal lives. At Cliffside Malibu, this means ensuring individually personalized drug treatment, specific to the needs of each resident.

Most of Cliffside Malibu’s residents lead normally upscale lives, and can readily manage to pay $63,000 a month for drug rehabilitation in one of the most lavish treatment centers in the United States. The philosophy at Cliffside Malibu is to treat, not penalize, the residents they serve.

To this end, the facility has spared no expense in its simple, yet grand style of architecture right down to its tasteful, sophisticated accommodations and amenities present in each resident room, lounging areas, dining room, patios, pool and surrounding grounds of the property.

However, these spectacular outward signs of luxury do not imply any degree of ease when individual drug treatment plans are administered. The ways in which this is done is the hallmark of Cliffside Malibu’s success as a prominent drug treatment center. Meticulous one-on-one care underlines all medical and psychological approaches and treatments.

From the time a potential resident calls to ask questions about the facility, a staff member initiates a “relationship” with this person. This communication may guide specific future care issues based on the caller’s personal and individual needs and concerns.

When a resident arrives at Cliffside Malibu to check-in for treatment, they are assessed clinically and psychologically and matched with their own primary therapist who will be their support base throughout their stay.

The doctors, therapists, counselors, resident supervisors, right down to chefs, dieticians and culinary staff, all want an individual in drug treatment to succeed. They know how to do this by crafting amenities and treatment plans to meet the needs, desires and comforts of each individual in attendance.

In many cases, staff professionals treat a resident for more than one addiction and/or psychological issue, or dual diagnose. This occurs in patients with substance abuse/addictions and a concurrent emotional or psychological condition.

Cliffside Malibu is a licensed, dual diagnosis facility that uses traditional and non-traditional types of treatment and therapy including acupuncture, massage and yoga, herbology, equine therapy, and group and family programs. Other treatments can consist of detoxification, “life assessment”, spirituality, behavioral therapy, the 12-step program, art therapy, journal writing and more.

Dual diagnoses are a unique component of a resident’s stay at Cliffside Malibu. Assigned therapists are alert to any and every nuance associated with dual diagnoses as they diligently monitor any changes in patient behavior, which may compound the duality of illnesses.

The familiar comforts, which certain patients expect, are generously provided so that a patient’s focus on treatment and recovery is prime and immediate.

Before recommending or administering programs for specific addictions, personal details and circumstances of a patient’s life are explored. Personal counselors and therapists who specialize in treating a particular addiction will individually work with a patient throughout their stay and adapt treatment components to suit that patient.

Cliffside drug treatment center specializes in interventions, alcohol addiction, cocaine and heroin addiction, pharmaceutical, methamphetamine and opiate addiction, gambling and porn addiction, eating disorders, depression and dual diagnosis.

Who Is Pee Dee?

The recent Frontline special “My Father, My Brother, and Me” explored the effect that Parkinson’s disease (PD) has on the children of PD patients, a topic also explored in a recently published book by Parkinson’s in the Park founder Kay Mixson Jenkins.

Ms. Jenkins was diagnosed with PD at the age of thirty-four and has been an advocate for research and patient support since. Her book, Who Is Pee Dee? Explaining Parkinson’s Disease to a Child, addresses the impact the disease has on the relatives of those with PD—especially their children.

Talking with a child about a disease that manifests itself through physical symptoms can be difficult because of the mental toll it also takes on a family. It’s a conversation that more and more people are having with their kids. More than six million people worldwide have been diagnosed with PD, and one in ten patients diagnosed are under the age of fifty.

In Who Is Pee Dee?, Ms. Jenkins uses a stuffed Panda bear named Pee Dee and a boy named Colt to answer many of the most common questions that kids have about the chronic illness:

• What is Parkinson’s disease?
• Why is Mommy or Daddy upset?
• What can I do to help?
• Why is Mommy moving slowly?

“As I’ve gotten older,” says Ms. Jenkins, “the disease has progressed. There will come a day when I’ll have to use a cane or a wheelchair, but I am determined to make my grandchildren proud of their ‘Muffin.’ I’m not going down without a fight.”

Ms. Jenkins says that it is crucial for people living with Parkinson’s to have resources to help them adjust to their new lives. Who is Pee Dee? includes pages of resources for adults, including websites, support groups and more.

Kay Mixson Jenkins is the Georgia state co-coordinator for the Parkinson’s Action Network, leads the Effingham County Parkinson’s support group and was selected as a Parkinson’s patient advocate for UCB, Inc.

Premier alcohol and drug rehabilitation program at Vista Bay

In a milestone event, the one-thousandth students has graduated from Vista Bay’s alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

One thousand students have sought help with overwhelming drug or alcohol dependencies and, after successfully completing the drug treatment program at Vista Bay, most have gone on to lead happy and productive lives. In recognition of the significance of this accomplishment and Vista Bay’s contributions to surrounding communities, a wide range of civic leaders attended the graduation ceremony. Among the dignitaries present were: Gustavo Gonzales (representing Fourth District Supervisor of Santa Cruz County, Tony Campos), Aimee Mangon (Prevention Program Member for the City of Santa Cruz) and Mariaelena Tantalo (Neighborhood Services Manager for the City of Watsonville).

The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors honored Vista Bay with an official Proclamation. Notable among the points in the Proclamation was recognition for Vista Bay’s community involvement is its “crucial role in educating youth and eradicating drug use by participating in local events and activities.” Other examples of leadership in the fight against substance abuse were cited including: support and assistance provided to the Santa Cruz County Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission, delivering drug education lectures to over 2,500 children in the Central Coast and Northern California regions, participation in the Watsonville High School Sober Graduation Night, and a series of testimonials by program graduates to the Santa Cruz Meth Project.

The students of the graduating class were understandably excited to be the focus of the gala ceremony. Completing the program means they have the opportunity to turn their lives around, and one of the students would boast that milestone number one thousand on their certificate.

For further information about Vista Bay and the recent graduation of the one-thousandth student from its alcohol and drug rehabilitation program, or for additional information about Vista Bay’s Santa Cruz area community involvement projects, please contact: 1-800-556-8885.

About Vista Bay:
Vista Bay launched its drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in 1992, in Bonny Doon, California. Established to help people suffering from chemical dependencies, with the goal of freeing them and their families from the devastation of drug or alcohol abuse, the program has proven to be extremely effective. Launching with “word of mouth” access, ongoing success necessitated the relocation of the residential treatment program to a larger campus above Watsonville. Vista Bay’s program now graduates 150 clients yearly and has grown to include a center in Placerville with a new center planned for South Lake Tahoe.
