Lisa Littlehales Top Tips for ultimate bridal beauty preparation:

• DRINK LOTS OF WATER
It’s recommended to drink around two litres of water every day. If you don’t already do this then it’s a great habit to pick up six months before the wedding, in order to encourage clear glowing skin in time for the big day.

• BOOK AHEAD
Make sure that you are not caught out in the weeks leading up to the wedding and book any treatments you are planning to have at least 6 weeks in advance.

• PERFECT YOUR BEAUTY REGIME
Finding and sticking to a beauty regime that suits you around six months before the wedding, will ensure that you have time to tackle any particular skin issues such as pigmentation. If pigmentation is your problem, try the Anti-Ageing Youth Serum. This contains Daisy extract, a skin lightening agent which is clinically proven to even out pigmentation, and stable Vitamin C – a strong form of the vitamin which promotes the production of collagen and helps to brighten the skin.

• PLAN YOUR TAN
If you want a sun kissed glow but don’t want to use tanning beds or splash out on a spray tan, The Harley Medical Group offer a Rejuvenating Self-Tanning Lotion, with a refreshing citrus sent. Make sure you apply two weeks before the wedding, so that you get the coverage you want right, to ensure you have a perfect looking tan on the day.

• ON THE DAY PROBLEMS
Everyone’s nightmare is a blemish just before their wedding day – try the Anti-Microbial Cell Renewal Cream which will deal with any difficult blemishes by stimulating blood flow to the area. The cream contains willow bark extract which will cut through the oily skin surface and increase cell turn over to give you healthy clearer looking skin.

The Harley Medical Group Reveals Their New Dermatologically Tested Skincare Range To Help Combat Troublesome Skin

Leave a comment

Although skin acne is largely thought of as a problem affecting teenagers, 50% of all women and 25% of men will have acne at some time in their adult lives. Today with more people experiencing the on-set of acne in their 20’s and 30’s, adults are increasingly searching for effective solutions to help combat the condition.

The Harley Medical Group, UK experts with 28 years’ experience in non-surgical treatments, have launched their debut skincare range, comprising 12
dermatologically tested products which have been tested on patients across the UK. Designed as a proactive daily skincare regime, the range is also recommended to be used in conjunction with prescribed skin treatments, available from each of their 31 clinics nationwide.

Bernadette Harte, Nurse Counsellor at The Harley Medical Group, says: “Adult acne is a real problem and the first question our patient’s ask is why now? Often they had clear skin as a teenager and don’t associate this condition with adulthood. Humidity, stress and hormones are all contributing factors, so with warmer weather approaching and job stress high for many professionals, the summer can equal ‘acne season’ for many adults.

“People most affected by acne will have increased sensitivity in their sebaceous glands, which produce oil. When skin cells become blocked the sebum oil and dead skin cannot escape, resulting in an inflammation around the blocked cells. Bacteria can build-up and in turn produce blackheads, white head and angry, red spots.

“Patients approach us seeking advice on a whole new skincare regime which will not only clear up existing spots, but also prevent the problem from re-occurring. For more troublesome skin, we can combine the skincare products with non-surgical treatments. We’ve treated over 500,000 patients since we opened our first clinic, and harnessed our knowledge to offer our patient’s the most effective treatment combinations possible.”

The Harley Medical Group’s Anti-Acne Guide
– Ultra Anti-Bac Cream (£29 for 30ml) – The cream includes a combination of natural ingredients formulated to help reduce skin breakouts and the appearance of pimples, pustules and comedones for oily skin types. This cream will help calm the skin as well as reduce the amount of sebum produced. Apply twice daily. Gently rub the cream into the skin on acne affected areas, with attention around typically oily areas such as the nose and chin.

– Gentle Cleanser (£26 for 200ml) – This mild and gentle sweet orange cleanser helps to boost skin cell turnover, help dead skin escape and keeps skin fresh and clear. The orange oil is also shown to relieve nervous tension and stress. Use twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening.

– Anti Microbial Cell Renewal Cream (£32 for 30ml) – Ideal for difficult blemishes, the cream contains a blend of active ingredients containing botanical seed extract that increases blood flow and helps to recover skin cell turnover. Apply a small amount to acne affected areas and allow the cream to fully absorb.

– Replenishing Exfoliator (£35 for 50ml) – Delivers collagen into the skin resulting in a firmer regenerated skin tone. The Vitamin C derivative and Beta Carotene help to promote collagen formation whilst the natural bamboo exfoliator gently removes dead skin cells leaving smoother softer skin.
Use once a week. Apply onto wet skin and massage in circular motions to ensure maximum cell stimulation.

For more stubborn acne, combine skincare products with the below Non-Surgical treatments for maximum results

– Aesthera PPx (from £60) – One of the most highly effective skin rejuvenation treatments, this is the only laser treatment which has been approved by the FDA* for treatment of comedonal acne (blackheads & whiteheads). Visible improvement of lesions can be seen between 24-48 hours after treatment. For maximum results, book a course of 4-6 treatments.

- Medical Microdermabrasion (from £95) – A mechanical exfoliation treatment which takes away the top layer of dead skin cells by releasing medical grade crystals at a high velocity onto the skin surface, helping to combat acne, blackheads and whiteheads. Following the treatment, the skin is in a better condition to absorb acne creams. For maximum results, book a course of 6 treatments with 2 weeks apart for each.

– Obagi Blue Peel (£595) – An effective skin peel treatment which helps reduce acne scars and large pores by removing dead skin cells of aged and damaged skin, replacing them with new, healthier cells. Following the treatment, the skin will peel, and heal within 7-10 days giving immediate results and continue to become clearer and healthier for the next 4-6 weeks. For maximum results, book one treatment every 6-8 weeks.

Teens Failing To Recognize Dangers Of Prescription Medication

Leave a comment

Recent trends are proving more disturbing as teens’ attitudes towards prescription drug use are becoming increasingly ambivalent.

The dangers of prescription drug abuse seemed to have been making some headway in recent years, but statistics show that teenagers are showing more mixed feelings, and sometimes even confusion, regarding prescription drug abuse.

“The widespread use of prescription pain killers can be, understandably, confusing for teens and young adults,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center . “It’s difficult to understand how a substance that is readily prescribed by doctors and regularly used by their parents and/or grandparents can be so detrimental to them. What teens and young adults fail to understand is that although the medications may be prescribed by a physician and purchased at the local drug store, they can be dangerous when taken by someone for whom they have not been prescribed. We need to make sure that we effectively communicate the facts to teenagers and make certain that we be very careful when and if we are required to use such medications.”

If you feel that your teen or young adult is struggling with prescription medication abuse, alcohol abuse or any other type of substance abuse, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center can help you effectively and gently assist them to confront their abuse issues through professional intervention services. Our team can make it easier for an addict and his or her family to make the entry into substance abuse treatment and into a comprehensive family care program. Mountainside specializes in giving families the tools necessary to rebuild the bonds that have been broken through addiction. Their treatment recovery program is recognized as one of the most comprehensive and individualized in the treatment field.

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center is a modern drug rehab facility that is skilled in serving a variety of clients with various addictions and in varying stages of addiction. The caring, compassionate team is made up of licensed and certified social workers and counselors who have extensive experience and specialty in the addiction treatment field. In addition, the staff includes a Nurse Practitioner, as well as a Registered Nurse, both of whom also have specializations and experience within the field of addiction treatment and alcohol rehab.

Mountainside also provides services for those individuals who come to them with dual diagnoses and require the services of a Psychiatrist to help conquer the unique challenges that dual diagnosis brings.

For the past 13 years, Mountainside has established itself as an innovator within the addiction treatment field, and the treatment modalities Mountainside utilizes are regarded as among the most cutting-edge approaches in helping individuals to get, and to remain, sober. As a result of their unique, innovative approaches to addiction treatment, Mountainside has become the model for the addiction treatment field.

The program, along with its professional addiction treatment team, have earned national recognition and resulted in Mountainside being invited to Washington by the White House to meet with the White House Drug Czar, John P. Walters, for an in-depth meeting on what makes its program so successful. These accolades did not go unnoticed within the addiction treatment field and resulted in the adoption by many throughout the country of a more holistic approach to drug addiction treatment.

New England Drug Rehab Highlights Warning Signs For Problematic Drinking

Leave a comment

It’s estimated that over thirty-eight million American adults binge drink more than four times per month. The majority of those binge drinkers fall within two age groups: 18 to 34 year olds and those over 65 years old.

While binge drinking isn’t always a sign of problematic drinking, its increasing frequency can be. There are at least five other warning signs that Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center points out, that when coupled with binge drinking may indicate a problem with alcohol.

•  Missing responsibilities. If one’s hangover makes one miss work or makes it difficult to perform day-to-day activities, it should be cause for caution.

•  Forgetting what happened during a drinking session. If the previous night’s activities are a blur and temporary lapses in memory occur, it could be a sign that alcohol consumption is becoming problematic.

•  Not realizing how much alcohol has been consumed. At times, individuals will begin the evening with good intentions, vowing to only consume a specific number of drinks. If alcohol consumption goes beyond that number, “accidentally”, on a continual basis, it could be an indication that an individual’s alcohol consumption is becoming problematic.

•  Drinking regularly, at specific intervals. Many individuals will avoid alcohol during the week, “saving up” for the weekend. If this occurs every weekend, it could be a sign of alcohol abuse.

•  Friends and family seem very concerned. Perhaps the biggest indicator of problematic drinking is concern expressed by third-parties such as family and friends.

“Many individuals begin exhibiting one or more of these signs without even realizing it,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center . “And, one of these symptoms alone doesn’t necessarily indicate problematic drinking patterns. However, when an individual begins to experience several of them, it should cause them concern as well as raise red flags to friends and family members. Knowing the signs of problematic drinking can help with early detection as well as early intervention.”

Alcoholism and alcohol abuse is a problem that faces millions of Americans, and those same individuals often feel hopeless in their battle. With proper, holistic alcoholism treatment and evidence based addiction treatment, individuals can reclaim their self-dignity and begin living their lives sober once again.

If you recognize the symptoms of problematic alcohol consumption in a friend or loved one, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center can help you gently, yet effectively, approach him or her in a loving, caring way through professional intervention services. Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has an outstanding success rate through its holistic drug rehab program. In addition, its comprehensive professional intervention services can help make the transition easier for an addict and his/her families to enter into rehab treatment.

In addition, Mountainside offers a comprehensive family care program that will give you the tools necessary to rebuild the bonds of your family to what they once were.

Michael J. Fox Admits To Using Alcohol To Cope

Leave a comment

In a recent Parade Magazinearticle, actor Michael J. Fox discussed his diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease and how he initially chose to cope.

In 1991, Michael J. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a degenerative central nervous system disorder that affects the body’s motor system. Initially, he admits to using alcohol to deal with his diagnosis. Approximately one year into his diagnosis, however, his wife gave him a sudden wake-up call that caused him to realize he was headed down the wrong path. From that moment in 1992, he gave up drinking entirely.

“Being diagnosed with a debilitating disease is probably one of the worst fears for every human being,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center . “Mr. Fox’s response to his diagnosis is not uncommon. Many people choose to deal with stressful events, such as diagnosis of disease, divorce, loss of job, etc. by turning to alcohol. And, many aren’t as fortunate as Michael J. Fox – they often lapse into chronic alcoholism. Luckily, Mr. Fox’s wife was able to help him see that he was headed down a destructive path before it was too late.”

If you or a loved one is using alcohol, or any other substance, to cope with difficult circumstances in your life, you are not alone. Fortunately, there is a way to handle these troubling situations and, with proper holistic alcoholism treatment and addiction treatment, individuals can reclaim their self-dignity and begin living their lives sober once again.

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center can help you gently, yet effectively, approach your loved one in a loving, caring way through professional intervention services.

The Impact Of Cocaine On The Heart Highlighted

Leave a comment

The effects of cocaine have often been underestimated when, in fact, it is one of the most addictive substances abused and one of the most destructive to a variety of different physiological systems.

One of the draws of cocaine is the nearly instantaneous high it produces. It’s fast acting, entering the bloodstream quickly and traveling to the brain. One of the marked effects on the body is the effect cocaine has on the heart. It increases heart rate and blood pressure as it constricts blood flow to the heart. In an individual who has progressive heart disease which has resulted in significant narrowing of the arteries, cocaine use can produce immediate, fatal results.

“The effects of cocaine use are devastating,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside DrugRehab and Alcohol Treatment Center . “At some point its use will catch up with an individual, either through immediate effects or via prolonged exposure. Not only does it physically wear on the individual, but the emotional and psychological impact is also profound. The sooner that help is sought for treatment, the less impact it can have on an individual’s life.”

If your family dynamic has been impacted by the use of cocaine in a loved one’s life, the effects don’t have to be continued and longstanding. With proper, holistic drug rehab and addiction treatment, individuals can reclaim their self-dignity and begin living their lives sober once again.

Controversial Treatment For Alcoholism: LSD vs. Traditional Methods

Leave a comment

Last week, the website drugfree.org published a controversial analysis of studies conducted between the 1960’s and 1970’s which suggests that LSD may help those who battle alcoholism by reducing or eliminating their need to drink alcohol altogether.

Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology reviewed a total of six different studies involving LSD for alcoholism treatment. They found that nearly 60 percent of patients showed a marked improvement compared to thirty-eight percent of the control group. Not only that, they discovered those who were treated with LSD were less likely to relapse.

“Within the addiction field, there have always been various types of drugs and medications used to treat either substance abuse or alcoholism,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “Unfortunately, some of those drugs have spawned additional issues in the life of an addicted individual. That’s why caution must be urged and additional studies must be done. The last thing one wants to do is recover from one addiction, only to have problems arise from untested medications treatment used. We firmly believe in a holistic approach to alcoholism and substance abuse treatment. Our research and experience shows that treating each aspect of an individual yields far greater long-term sobriety success than the hope of a magic pill. Addiction treatment is a journey that must be undertaken for the long-term; there is no quick fix.”

If the life of a family member has become unmanageable due to alcohol abuse or drug abuse, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center can help you gently, yet effectively, approach them in a loving, caring way through our professional intervention services. Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has an outstanding success rate through its evidence based treatment and holistic drug rehab program.

Bupa Reveals Workplace Absence Costs Britain’s Small Businesses 10% Of Turnover

Leave a comment

A significant proportion of the UK’s small business bosses are risking burnout and ill health as they battle absence to keep businesses afloat, according to Bupa research.

Four in ten (40 per cent) heads of small companies told researchers they continue to work from their sick beds when ill, rather than take time off to recover because there’s nobody else to pick up their work.

They are also battling mental as well as physical strain. With financial pressure and a lack of resources hampering succession planning, a third of SME bosses (31 per cent) said that their business would collapse if they were to take time off.

However, while small business owners put their own physical and mental health and wellbeing at risk, it seems their employees may be compounding the problem. Nearly two thirds (62 per cent) of small business bosses say that employee absence is negatively affecting their business, and according to 46 per cent, high levels of employee absence are estimated to contribute up to a 10 per cent drop in turnover in small businesses.

Tony Wood, sales and marketing director at Bupa said: “Small business bosses are real troupers; they are totally committed to running their firms in sickness as well as health. However they need to think about how to take care of their health needs and those of their staff, as working through sickness isn’t a long-term solution for anyone.”

Four in ten (38 per cent) bosses admit they spend more on office stationery than initiatives that support employee health and wellbeing, such as flu jabs, cycle to work schemes and subsidised gym membership.

Dr Jenny Leeser, Clinical Director of Occupational Health, Bupa, suggests that small business heads should see investment in employee health and wellbeing as a beneficial long-term investment: “There are lots of things bosses can do to support staff and reduce the pressure of sickness absence. Staff benefits such as flu jabs or health checks can make a huge difference and are relatively low cost. Absence can be less of a burden if it is properly managed, for example through part-time return to work plans which can see staff return sooner. To get advice tailored to individual business needs, bosses should consult an occupational health specialist.”

The Bupa research showed that the sectors worst affected by workplace absence are property and technology companies, with 77 per cent of small business bosses surveyed in each of these sectors agreeing that sick leave has a financial impact on business. Other sectors which said that unplanned leave caused their business to suffer significantly were hospitality (58 per cent) and retail (50 per cent).

These figures come in the wake of Bupa’s 2011 study that found over half (51 per cent) of all HR managers claim that staff sickness absence puts additional work related stress on those employees left to ‘hold the fort’. One in three (31 per cent) staff stated they had to take on extra overtime to pick up additional workload as a result of colleagues being off sick. The research was in response to the Government’s Sickness Absence Review in November which found that the way sickness absence is managed by businesses can radically alter the length of time someone is off work.

‘Ten Percent’ Offers Hope For Others Struggling With Addiction

Leave a comment

A joint study conducted by The Partnership at Drugfree.org and the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse services (OASAS) indicates that nearly 24 million Americans are in recovery from some type of substance abuse.

“To some, this may not seem like a significant story,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center . “But for those who are in the addiction treatment field, it’s a message of hope. We tend to focus on those who need recovery and neglect the story of those who are living successful, sober lives. It should give tremendous hope to others struggling with addiction to know that nearly 24 million American adults have successfully beaten this demon. It’s testimony to the effectiveness of a top-notch addiction treatment program. “

The study notes that more males than females stated that they are in recovery. In addition, more adults, aged 35-44, report being in recovery as opposed to 18-34 year olds and those older than 55.

Helpful Information For People Who Suffer From Incontinence

Leave a comment

Incontinence can be described as the uncontrolled leakage of urine or faeces, and is an extremely common problem. But help is at hand. Incontinence UK is a leading UK supplier of incontinence products, incontinence pads and incontinence pants.

You’ll find a series of helpful frequently asked questions below, designed to help you gain a greater knowledge of the incontinence products available, so that when it comes to purchasing incontinence products, incontinence pads or incontinence pants of your own, you are able to make an informed decision.

Will one type of incontinence product suit all my needs?

This is not always the case, and different incontinence products, incontinence pads and incontinence pants will offer different benefits.

Some sufferers might prefer a smaller, thinner incontinence pad or incontinence pant during the day but a larger, more absorbent incontinence pad at night when their leakage could be more severe. Alternatively, some incontinence sufferers might prefer the simplicity of exchanging incontinence pads during their daily routine, but prefer the added security of incontinence pants on special occasions or long days out.

What are the benefits of disposable incontinence pads?

Disposable incontinence pads can be thrown away after usage, meaning that hygiene and convenience are great benefits. It is very easy to carry disposable incontinence products with you and change them as and when is needed. Incontinence UK supply a large range of disposable incontinence products, pads and pants; ensuring that you can find an incontinence product to suit your needs.

What are the benefits of washable incontinence products?

Over time, washable incontinence pants prove to be more economical and environmentally friendly than disposable incontinence products. With the look and feel of normal underwear, certain incontinence sufferers prefer to wear washable incontinence pants, and they can also be easier to store. It is important, however, to ensure that you have enough washable incontinence pants to suit your needs.

Study shows U.S. National Guard Soldiers at risk of alcohol abuse

Leave a comment

A new study conducted by Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health indicates that U.S. National Guard soldiers who have been deployed have a higher incidence of alcohol abuse when they return home.

The study, to be published in Drug and Alcohol Dependence Journal, found a direct correlation between PTSD and alcohol abuse in U.S. National Guard soldiers who return from deployment. Research suggests that individuals with no prior history of PTSD or depression seem to have a greater incidence of a new onset of alcohol abuse after returning home. The research also suggests that, perhaps, soldiers are using alcohol as a way to self-medicate the effects of deployment.

“Previous studies have been done regarding increased alcoholism in solders,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “Until now, however, studies which show a correlation between PTSD, depression and alcohol abuse have been few and far between. There are few times in individuals’ lives that cause more stress than deployment or war. We need to make sure that our soldiers who are returning home, are given the proper support that they need to return to productive healthy lives with their families.”

If a soldier in your life has returned from deployment, and if you think that they may be struggling with the difficulties of their deployment, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center offers professional intervention services to ensure that they get the help that they need and will be able to live a happy, normal and fulfilling life with their families

Death From Accidental Drug Overdose Tripled In Past Decade

Leave a comment

A report published by the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that accidental drug overdose has tripled since 1990.

The most common overdoses and subsequent accidental deaths occurred through the abuse of prescription painkillers, which were responsible for nearly 15,000 deaths in 2008 – more than both heroin and cocaine combined.

In addition to accidental overdose, the misuse of painkillers was responsible for nearly one-half million emergency room visits in 2009, doubling rates from the previous five years.

“Prescription painkiller abuse is one of the most ominous drug problems facing America ,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center . “It affects individuals from all walks of life – from the rich and famous to the homeless. Fortunately, many states are stepping up to the plate and addressing this enormous problem in a variety of different ways. Some states have enacted Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) which helps track who receives a prescription for a controlled substance, where they receive the prescription from and where the prescription is filled. Other states are requiring increased accountability from physicians. Thankfully many states are becoming involved in treating the source of the problem.”

In nearly fifty percent of prescription painkiller deaths, there were other substances such as heroin, cocaine, and alcohol involved. The study also highlighted an alarming fact – the number of prescription painkillers that were prescribed in 2010 were enough to medicate every adult in America , around the clock for one month.

If you believe that a loved one has an issue with prescription drug abuse or any other substance abuse, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center can help you with its broad range of professional intervention services.

Mountainside’s comprehensive family care program will give you the tools necessary to rebuild the bonds of your family to what they once were. Their unique individualized recovery program is recognized as one of the most comprehensive and individualized in the treatment field.

Self-control impulse impaired in addicts’ brains, possibly inherited

Leave a comment

A study, appearing in Science Mag, says that there seems to be a presence of abnormalities in the brain of addicts that regulate self-control mechanisms.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom studied brain scans of 50 pairs of siblings, one of each pair being a cocaine addict and the other with no history of substance abuse.

The study revealed that the fibers, which connect various parts of the brain, were less efficient than those found in the scans of typical individuals. These fiber connections are responsible for sending messages to an individual to “stop” a certain behavior. The inefficiency noted is directly related to how long it took before the individual responded to the “stop” signals. Interestingly, both siblings took longer to respond to the stop signals, indicating less self-control and, more importantly, indicating a possible strong hereditary connection to addiction.

“The self-control aspect of addiction is often studied,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “However, research on the correlation between self-control and heredity hasn’t been studied nearly as much. The link between impulse control and genetic influences is certainly a study whose time is coming. The important thing that we must remember is that, even if future studies indicate a direct genetic connection to the predisposition of an individual to become addicted, it doesn’t mean that the person must become an addict. Personal choice via awareness does play an important role.”

The ever-evolving field of addiction medicine may, at some point, develop a panacea for substance abuse and drug addiction. Until that time, however, effective drug rehab is a must for those addicted individuals who want to recover from the catastrophic effects of addiction.

If you believe that that a loved one has an issue with drugs or alcohol, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center can help you with its broad range of professional intervention services.

Kim Richards Admits To Alcoholism

Leave a comment

Much speculation encircled Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and previous child-actress Kim Richards this television season.

On the show, it was clear Ms. Richards was struggling with issues in her life. Her erratic behavior caused her fellow cast members to accuse her of using crystal meth on screen. Kim Richards, as well as her sister Kyle Richards, both vehemently denied those allegations on camera. What they didn’t initially reveal, however, was the true substance she struggled with: alcohol.

On the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion Show, Kim Richards sat down one-on-one and revealed that she is an alcoholic and that, back in December 2011, she sought rehab for it.

“We’re so happy that Ms. Richards received rehab for her alcoholism,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center . “She found the strength and courage to not only admit to herself, but to the entire world, that she has a problem with alcohol. With her determination, support from her family and her fellow cast members she, like others in recovery, can continue the path of sobriety. Although it’s not an easy journey, it’s one of the most rewarding that an individual will pursue.”

In recent years, many within the entertainment industry have come forward with their stories of addiction, sharing their message of hope for others in hopes of prompting them to obtain proper substance abuse treatment.

While the entertainment industry has had increased numbers within its community seeking addiction treatment, it’s not an ailment that affects only the elite of society. If you believe that that a loved one has an issue with drugs or alcohol, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center can help you with its broad range of professional intervention services.

Retired Brigadier General’s sobriety offers hope for soldiers

Leave a comment

Not only did Vietnam immediately and physically affect now-retired Brigadier General Stanley Cherrie, the ghosts of the war have continued to haunt him decades later.

After having his right leg, right hand and part of his left heel mangled by stepping on a land mine in Vietnam, General Cherrie began drinking heavily, resulting in leading the life of, what he calls, a “functioning alcoholic”. He remained in the military despite his injuries and his private fight to stay sober. In 2010 his private fight became public as he collapsed in front of his fellow comrades at a gala event. Initially reluctant to be forthcoming with his struggle with alcohol, General Cherrie knew that the only way he could remain alive was to enter into alcohol rehab.

“What a story of triumph for a man who gave everything for his country,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “His story can shine as a beacon for soldiers who are currently returning home from war and facing alcohol and/or drug dependence. It shows them that if a retired General can face his alcoholism, they can too.”

The United States military recognizes that soldiers returning from wartime do, indeed, have an increased risk for alcoholism and substance abuse. Three years ago the Army created a program at a half-dozen or so bases that allows soldiers to obtain drug and alcohol rehab without being required to inform their supervisors.

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center understands the struggles that soldiers and their families go through when returning home from service overseas. The unique individualized recovery program is recognized as one of the most comprehensive and individualized in the treatment field. Mountainside assists clients and their families from the very beginning of their journey by offering professional intervention services should they be needed.

Unintended effect of bath salt use

Leave a comment

The dangers of bath salt addiction have been well-publicized over the past year; however, a new risk associated with its usage has recently come to light.

A young woman appeared at the ER presenting with symptoms of pain, rapid skin-cell deterioration on her arm as well as profuse drainage from the area. After further investigation, it was found that the young woman had contracted a flesh-eating bacteria due to bath salt injection. The flesh-eating bacteria was fast-moving and, because of the rapid growth and spread of the bacteria, she lost her arm, shoulder and collarbone.

“Many times individuals forget about the unintended consequences of substance abuse,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “When someone is injecting a drug, one of the last things on their mind is ‘I might lose my arm because of this’. In addition, once the addicted individual has gone through the critical period where they may experience an immediate consequence from their drug use, such as convulsions, seizures and coma, they certainly do not think about associated risks such as this. Injecting anything into the body without the supervision of a physician is dangerous. Individuals need to understand the full-scope of risks associated with drug use, not just the possible short-term consequences.”

Bath salt abuse is growing in popularity, particularly with the youth of America. Fortunately, lawmakers are beginning to understand the true danger of their improper usage and, as a result, many states are passing laws banning the sale and distribution of bath salts.

As a parent, teen drug use is a frightening reality to face. If you suspect that your teen is abusing bath salts or any other type of substance, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center can assist you in reaching your son or daughter with professional intervention services.

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center recognizes the struggles that addicted individuals and their families go through when battling various types of addiction.
