Non 12 Step Treatment Centers

Filed under: non 12 step rehab programs — Tags: , , — rpmauer @ 6:58 pm

If you know anything about alcoholics and drug addicts, you know they prefer choices. Most drug rehabs insist the 12 steps are the only path to long term abstinence. And, in their defense, the 12 steps have saved more drunks than the salvation army. They thing is, addiction and alcoholism are a disease. The medical community has come along way on the past 75 years. There are medications which help relieve the craving for drugs or alcohol. And, more and more people want a non 12 step, therapy based, scientific treatment center. People want to have options and choices. Anything else is too one-sided.

Newborn Baby Hooked on Oxycontin

Filed under: prescription addiction — Tags: , , — rpmauer @ 12:48 pm

A grandmother called us yesterday. She told us her granddaughter had been born addicted to oxycontin. Not realizing the mother was a drug addict, the hospital misdiagnosed it. The newborn baby came into this world and went into the pains of opiate withdrawal. We made several suggestions to the grandmother about how to help her daughter get off and stay off drugs. And our primary concern was for the newborn and her 8 year old sister.  When it comes to the children of active addicts and alcoholics we do not pull any punches. Those children need to be taken away from their mother until she goes through drug detox and rehab and proves she has embraced recovery and can be a responsible parent.

Drug Rehab Centers Are Not All Bad

Filed under: drug rehab centers — Tags: , , — rpmauer @ 7:49 pm

Drug rehab centers certainly have their work cut out for them. Unlike any other medical facility treating a fatal disease, drug rehabs are expected to treat a unique combination of physical and mental disorders. Drug rehabilitation treatment centers have to wear many hats and deal with a most unusual group of individuals. Many of the people there are not 100% convinced they have this malady. And still others know it but do not care to be abstinent. So, considering the multifaceted aspects of treating drug addicts, drug rehabs do a pretty good job. Most drug treatment centers have the best interest of their clients at heart. And like most things in life, clients who want to learn and be successful, will be, and the rest will not.
