Success rates and physician endorsements. These are the two most important factors addicts and their loved ones should consider when choosing a treatment facility. VistaBay – considered by some to be the best alcohol and drug treatment San Diego, San Francisco and Las Vegas residents can undergo – excels in each of these areas. It offers a 70-percent success rate and has endorsements from noted physicians such as Megan Shields, M.D., who highly recommends the Narconon-based approach VistaBay utilizes. Those seeking the most successful drug and alcohol treatment San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas and the surrounding areas offer need look no further than VistaBay.

August 2010 – Physician Megan Shields does not give endorsements lightly. A graduate of the Medical College of Virginia and a diplomat of the American Board of Family Practice, she presents often on the subject of substance abuse and detoxification. Her recommendation of VistaBay comes with more than 20 years of experience referring patients to the alcohol and drug treatment facility. She has seen firsthand how VistaBay’s Narconon-based program helps addicts regain their sobriety and maintain it long-term. She points to Narconon’s drug-free, sauna detoxification – used at all VistaBay locations, including the drug and alcohol rehab Las Vegas, San Francisco and San Diego area centers – as a key element of the program’s success.

“Unlike many of my contemporaries, I have never believed in using drugs and medications to solve the problems created by drugs and medication,” says Dr. Shields. “It was evident to me that the long-term physical, mental and emotional consequences of drug use had something to do with the residual effects of the drugs themselves. … It wasn’t until I discovered the sauna detoxification program at VistaBay that I knew we had a dynamic, working solution to a terrible problem.”

At VistaBay, students – as they are called – use a combination of dry sauna sessions and nutritional therapy to rid their bodies of drugs and drug residues. These residues can cause physical cravings long after alcohol or drug use, triggering a relapse. Drugs are never used to ease withdrawal symptoms, thus allowing students to graduate from VistaBay alcohol and drug treatment San Diego, San Francisco and Las Vegas area programs truly substance-free.

Success rates say it all. A graduate from a VistaBay residential drug and alcohol treatment center has a better chance at long-term sobriety than an addict who completed a traditional rehab program. Why does VistaBay work when others often do not? Narconon. The non-traditional drug rehab program at the core of VistaBay’s program does not teach addicts that they are hopeless or that addiction is a disease to be cured. Instead, Narconon empowers its students by giving them the tools they need to free themselves of dependency. Those tools – used by all VistaBay locations, including the drug and alcohol rehab Las Vegas, San Francisco and San Diego area centers – include:

A Drug-Free Physical Detoxification – At VistaBay, each student undergoes a physical detoxification to rid his body of all alcohol and drugs, plus their residues, as residues can cause physical cravings months after an addict has taken the alcohol or drugs, triggering a relapse. Narconon employs dry sauna sessions and nutritional therapy to flush all toxins from the system and it never uses drugs to ease withdrawal symptoms. Students graduate from VistaBay alcohol and drug treatment San Diego, San Francisco and Las Vegas area programs truly drug-free.

Life Education Courses – Through these Narconon-based classes, a student will begin to understand his addiction, confront past mistakes related to his addiction and begin to heal relationships harmed by his addiction. At VistaBay drug and alcohol treatment San Francisco, San Diego and Las Vegas area programs, the student also will contemplate his future and learn how to deal better with life’s many obstacles. He will identify positive and healthy people to have in his life and set achievable goals.

Time – VistaBay’s alcohol and Drug Treatment San Diego, San Francisco and Las Vegas area programs take an open-ended approach. They do not limit a student’s stay to what an insurance company will pay, but instead offer a fixed-cost plan.

The average stay at a Vista Bay drug and alcohol treatment San Francisco, San Diego and Las Vegas area facility is three to six months.
