Sunset Malibu Is Announcing Its Redoubled Commitment To Helping Patients Win The Long-Term Fight Against Substance Abuse

Sunset Malibu, an exclusive treatment center on the California coast, is a true transformational force in the field of rehabilitation and recovery. Now, Sunset is announcing its redoubled commitment to helping patients win the long-term fight against substance abuse.

Long-Term Fight Against Substance

Addiction is a resilient disease. Successful addiction treatment must mount a sustained and determined response. The best rehab facilities are those that pay closest attention to the long-term needs of their clients. There’s simply no other way to guarantee recovery over the long run.

Those considerations, in turn, are at the heart of Sunset Malibu’s long-term treatment philosophy.

With its world-class caregivers and elegant accommodations, Sunset Malibu is an unparalleled recovery destination. The Exclusive Drug Treatment Center has always catered to upscale individuals from every corner of the globe. Now Sunset is renewing its commitment to its core values, with the goal of delivering long-term, life-changing care to individuals who seek it. At Sunset Malibu, the client’s future always comes first.

“Addiction recovery never happens overnight,” said Sunset Malibu owner Richard Taite. “Our clients come to us because they need support at every step along the road to wellness, from Detox through sober living and aftercare programs. It’s our responsibility as a rehabilitation facility to ensure that they get what they’re seeking. “

That sense of long-term responsibility sets Sunset apart from many of its competitors.

Quite often, even the highest-priced treatment facilities in California focus on the short-term successes of their clients. This is a tremendous mistake. While it’s important to celebrate incremental progress in the fight against addiction, that celebration can’t be allowed to obscure the big picture. More often than not, institutions which lose sight of rehab’s ultimate goal fail to help patients reach it.

Those shortcomings, Taite argues, are inexcusable.

“It’s not enough to stay sober for a few months, or even a few years,” Taite said. “The only meaningful recovery is the kind that lasts forever. At Sunset Malibu, we help our residents develop the strength they’ll need to stay sober over the long run, with everything from holistic life counseling to professional depression treatment.”

There are no shortcuts to addiction recovery. The only successful rehab patients are those who receive competent, compassionate support through every phase of their rehab experience. Sunset Malibu has a long history of delivering precisely that sort of assistance to its residents. As the center’s graduates have learned firsthand, no gift could ever be more precious than that.

Narconon Trois-Rivieres Looks into the Painful Drug Addictions Caused by OxyContin Abuse

When OxyContin was first manufactured, no one knew what type of destruction this particular drug would cause those who got caught up in abusing or misusing the drug. Perdue Pharma L.P. first introduced the drug in 1995 to help people battling cancer, and soon after the drug was being recommended for treating moderate to severe pain cases. When this happened, sales eventually sky rocketed, and in 2003 there were 1.6 billion dollars of worldwide sales. Perdue Pharma were being severely criticized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) for its very aggressive marketing tactics and ability to encourage physicians to prescribe the drug.

In the late 1990’s the Chief Coroner of Ontario at that time was noticing more people were dying from prescription drug overdose. When he asked for forensic scientists to review the drug related death files for the past five years, it was found that there was a major increase in deaths where Oxycodone was found in the blood stream. In 2003, there were 101 deaths in Ontario where the person had Oxycodone in their blood stream. The Chief Coroner at the time reported seeing this increase in deaths around the same time that the drug was being aggressively marketed. Many of the people who died where drug abusers, but many of the people who died from accidental overdose or suicide, were prescribed drugs with Oxycodone in it, and OxyContin being the most popular.

Perdue Pharma defended their drug saying it was no different then any other pain medication being marketed. Unfortunately, there was no other documentation of other pain medications causing the same problems at the time. Atlantic Canada was facing similar problems, and still is to this very day. They have been seeing dangerous social problems that have involved OxyContin abuse. In 2003 pharmacies dispensed over 2.8 million prescriptions for drugs containing Oxycodone in Canada, mainly Ontario, and the most popular was OxyContin.

Substance Abuse Rehabilitation in the Finest Luxury Facility

Sunset Malibu, an exclusive treatment center on the California coast, has long been a transformational force in the field of rehabilitation and recovery. Now, Sunset is announcing its redoubled efforts to provide its clients with a private and dignified healing experience.

Addiction is a crippling disease. To succumb to Substance Abuse is to be stripped of one’s self-esteem, and one’s sense of self-control. The logical corollary, of course, is that addiction treatment must first aim to help patients learn to feel good about themselves again. In the end, there’s no other route to sustained and sustainable recovery.

That concern for emotional well-being lies at the heart of Sunset Malibu’s treatment philosophy.

With its world-class caregivers and elegant accommodations, Sunset Malibu is an unparalleled recovery destination. The center has always catered to upscale residents from every corner of the globe. Now Sunset is renewing its commitment to its core values, with the goal of delivering self-affirming care to individuals who seek it. At Sunset Malibu, the client’s feelings always come first.

“Our clients invariably come to us with negative self-concepts,” says Sunset Malibu owner Richard Taite. “Our first job is to help them see themselves in a new light. With our advanced dual-diagnosis techniques and intensive depression treatment programs, we’ve had great success in creating the right kind of change.”

It’s that kind of success that is precisely what separates Sunset from its competitors.

It’s one thing for a treatment facility to pay lip service to the importance of psychological healing. It’s quite another for that facility to actually put principle into practice. Many of the most high-priced treatment clinics in Los Angeles only superficially address the emotional needs of their residents—with disastrous consequences for those residents and their families.

Taite argues that those kinds of shortcomings are absolutely inexcusable.

“Rehab is a life and death issue,” Taite said. “At Sunset Malibu, we understand that. We know what’s at stake in the fight against addiction, and we commit ourselves to honoring the trust our clients put in us. As we see it, no inferior level of service is ever acceptable.”

Addiction is a pernicious and destructive foe. It is not, however, an unconquerable one. Sunset Malibu’s long record of success proves that effective rehabilitation really does change lives. For Sunset’s successful graduates, that lesson has made all the difference in the world.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

4th Annual Parental Alienation Awareness Day

Nearly everyone knows a couple who has divorced and used a child against the other parent. But not many people know there’s a name for such behavior–and fewer still know it is a particularly damaging form of child abuse.

The 4th Annual Parental Alienation Awareness Day on April 25, 2009 is set as a day for families around the Globe to help raise awareness about this rampant global issue. Many countries, states, provinces, and cities have already proclaimed April 25 to be Parental Alienation Awareness Day, and many educational and family events are set to take place in cities in North America, Europe, South America, Australia, and New Zealand. 

Parental Alienation is defined as a set of behaviors exhibited by a parent or an adult the child trusts, that puts the child in a very damaging loyalty bind between the people they love. These behaviors can be as mild as the occasional badmouthing of a parent, but in extreme cases may lead to parental Abductions and even Parental Homicide.

Research shows that children exposed to Parental Alienation may suffer a lifetime of low self esteem, and depression as well as substance abuse, anxiety, and difficulty trusting anyone or forming lasting relationships.

“A pattern of alienation usually begins without any malicious or conscious intent to harm the relationship between the other parent and the children,” explained Sarvy Emo, Founder of Parental Alienation Awareness Day. “Parents are often unaware of how subtle behaviors and comments can put children in a loyalty bind that is not only harmful to their emotional and mental health, but may affect their relationship with the targeted parent.”

“… the hurt, the anger, the shame and the pain would never go away. I could numb it and put it in the back of my mind but it never went away. It comes out in how I am as a mother, a spouse, a friend. In the decisions I’ve made, in almost everything I do.” Says an adult who experienced Parental Alienation as a child.

Parental Alienation Awareness Organization urges family members, and the people that surround a child’s life to watch for the children perceiving one parent as causing the other parent’s financial problems, showing a sudden negative change in attitude around one parent or being uncharacteristically belligerent around a parent or other authority figure.
