Nick Hayes — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:49:42 +0100

What is the right rehab center? What is the most effective drug treatment? Two of the most commonly asked questions from those searching for addiction treatment and also asked by those battling a drug addiction. Most drug addicts will admit there is no point to going back to a rehab center after having been through two, three, four, or even five different or similar programs. There does come a point where many addicts and loved ones give up and lose hope about ever hanRead More...

BABY BOOMERS AND ADDICTION

MIDDLE AGED BABY BOOMERS AND ADDICTION

A woman enters my office disheveled, thin, mid forties, with hollow eyes. It is as if the sparkle in her eyes ceased to exist a very long time ago. She tells me she has been drinking and is using methamphetamines. I am not surprised to hear this because lately my practice has been filled with middle aged baby boomers seeking help for their serious addictions. Whether it is alcohol, cocaine, crack, methamphetamines, paRead More...

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA’s) National Survey on Drug Use and Health in 2006, 23.6 million persons aged 12 or older needed treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol abuse problem (9.6 percent of the persons aged 12 or older).

DRUG REHAB

Harmony place — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:00:00 +0100

For many celebrities, at least one stint in a drug rehab appears to be the new “di rigeur.” One can hardly read a magazine or watch an entertainment report today without learning of yet another famous face that has either been court ordered, convinced by “friends” or decided for themselves that the party is literally over and it is time to spend a month drying out in a drug rehab. The shock value of an admission of addiction has been inoculated so oftenRead More...

ALCOHOL TREATMENT CENTERS FOR WOMEN

Harmony place — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:00:00 +0100

Alcohol treatment centers for women, and female addiction in general, were until very recently, not even a subject which was discussed in “polite company.” Fortunately, thanks to the courageous honesty of women like Betty Ford, Carrie Fisher and of course, “celebutantes” like Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears, not only are women finally able to “come clean” about their struggles with drugs and alcohol, but there are finally gender specific resources to hRead More...

ALCOHOL REHABILITATION #3

Harmony place — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:00:00 +0100

According to communication professionals and commentators in media psychology, there appears to be a vast shift in the manner in which Americans receive information. Gone are the days of three major network news programs. News radio has become an information delivery source reserved primarily for the politically-bent or polarized minds. The future of the information highway, warn savvy pundits of media psych, lies in the ill-informed hands of entertainment-based programs,Read More...

DRUG REHAB CALIFORNIA

Harmony place — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 23:00:00 +0100

When legendary ‘70’s group “The Eagles” released their Grammy-winning record “Hotel California” in 1978, band member Don Henley called it "our interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles." Now 30 years later, Henley & Co.’s sardonic tribute to the hedonistic Southern California lifestyle has assumed an entirely different, yet ironically related connotation. “Drug Rehab Read More...

ALCOHOL TREATMENT CENTER Part 2

Harmony place — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 23:00:00 +0100

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (or NIDA), more money is spent each year promoting the use of alcohol than any other product. Perhaps through its elaborate and creative marketing, the most basic, yet most important fact about alcohol is often overlooked – alcohol is a drug – the most commonly used and widely abused psychoactive drug in the world. And because of the problems which generate from alcohol abuse or dependency, alcohol rehabilitatioRead More...

Drug Rehab, Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center

NOTE: Researching alcohol and drug treatment centers is usually a difficult process. The very nature of the need for research is often in itself an emotionally charged experience. Despite this difficulty, one important fact must be recognized. Read More...

ALCOHOLISM TREATMENT CENTER Part 1

Harmony place — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 23:00:00 +0100

For someone struggling with alcohol abuse, dependency or even advanced alcoholism, the question of where to turn for help can be overwhelming at best or even completely paralyzing. The internet is inarguably the most comprehensive guide to just about everything, but even negotiating the ever-increasing numbers of alcoholism treatment centers now appearing on “the Web” can prove too arduous for the alcohol-dependent and therefore somewhat cognitiRead More...

Why Do "Big Boys" Have Trouble Admitting Powerlessness?

Ken P. — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0100

We are three men from Texas with collectively over 40 years in Al-Anon, a 12-step program for those living with an alcoholic. This is a totally unique situation. Even today, only 15% of Al-Anons are men.

We wrote this post the day before Halloween last year (2007) without the slightest thought that so many would read it. It is accounting for about 1/6 of the "hits" on our blog now, which has more than 100 posts, so it is obvious that men REALRead More...

Drug Treatment Under Fire

Karima Grohsman — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 21:09:06 +0100

I've been hearing a lot of opinions recently about these super rich celebrities going into rehab that operates more as a vacation home than a drug and alcohol treatment facility.
I don't know what's going on at theses ultra exclusive rehabs in Malibu where enough money will buy someone a day off to get a tan, a private romp around the house with the chef, or sneak out fora private party with 1,000 closest friends, drugs, and alcohol - then declare success and rehabilitRead More...
