Exploring The Finest Addiction Treatment Centers

Affluent alcohol treatment patients often find themselves perplexed in their search for luxury alcohol treatment centers. The problem, unfortunately, is that it’s difficult for those treatment patients to get reliable information from and about the most exclusive rehabs around the country.

LuxuryDrugRehab.com is determined to change that dynamic.

LuxuryDrugRehab.com is a shining light in the rehab referral market. The company provides personal counseling services for affluent alcohol treatment patients, with the goal of helping those alcohol treatment patients find the alcohol treatment centers that are exactly right for them. To do that, LuxuryDrugRehab.com’s expert advisers closely scrutinize the best luxury alcohol treatment centers around the country, then use their accumulated knowledge to deliver informed and insightful recommendations.

In the search for the right alcohol treatment centers, there’s simply no substitute for that sort of expertise.

It’s important that a rehab patient be fully informed about an alcohol treatment program before enrolling in it. It would seem natural, then, that rehab centers would want to communicate openly and honestly with their prospective clients. If successful rehab develops from a foundation of truth, it’s hard to imagine that any other course of action could lead to long-term recovery.

But those principles aren’t always put into practice.

LuxuryDrugRehab.com’s experts advisers have closely compared the information contained in advertising brochures published by luxury alcohol treatment centers with the actual truth about those centers’ services. What they’ve found, unfortunately, is that some alcohol treatment centers intentionally mislead their prospective clients. As should go without saying, those facilities can’t be trusted to produce meaningful or lasting healing.

Given the stakes in the fight against addiction, those sorts of failures can lead to disaster.

It’s no secret that alcohol addiction is devastating disease. That’s why LuxuryDrugRehab.com’s counselors do everything in their power to ensure that their clients receive accurate information and expert advice on the road to alcohol treatment centers. For those clients and their families, no service could ever possibly be more important.

“I am really glad I called,” said one client in a testimonial published on LuxuryDrugRehab.com’s Web site. “Privacy was a big concern for me. Your counselor was very knowledgeable about all the top-tier alcohol treatment centers and helped me narrow it down to the ones where I could be sure my privacy would be respected.”

Arche Wellness facility in Pittsburgh PA

Allison Park, PA (PRWEB) August 23, 2010

Today Arche Wellness has announced a new effort to create awareness of prescription drug addiction amongst middle aged women. Since 2008, the center has seen a significant increase in middle aged women, with no previous substance abuse history, becoming addicted to prescription medications. “Most of these women have never taken an illegal drug in their lives, but they come to us very addicted to multiple prescription drugs after being prescribed addictive medications without being properly warned of their risks,” said Erin McClelland, MS, founder and Executive Director of the program. “Often times they aren’t even aware that they are experiencing symptoms of addiction.”

Arche Wellness attributes the rise in addiction amongst middle aged women to two different factors, over prescription and lack of education. “Doctors are prescribing these medications because the pretty, glossy information sheets given to them by the drug companies make them seem safe. But physicians don’t see what these people go through once they become addicted like we see them,” said McClelland.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reports that “several indicators” suggest prescription drug abuse and addiction is trending upward in our country. The Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) monitors illicit and medical drug use reports in emergency rooms and found that the most frequently reported prescription medications in drug abuse related visits are benzodiazepines (anti-anxiety medications) and opiates (pain killers). “This data is consistent with what we are seeing in the treatment population,” said McClelland. “We see menopausal women being prescribed benzodiazepines, painkillers and sleep medications at an alarming rate and becoming severely addicted without even realizing these drugs are addictive. It’s becoming so common that we’ve starting calling it the Stepford Triad.”

While illicit drugs like heroin and cocaine have often been viewed as the most addictive and dangerous drugs of abuse, Erin McClelland identifies prescription drug abuse as far more biochemically damaging and more difficult to stop. “These drugs aren’t natural like heroin. They are manmade and specifically designed to provide powerful and immediate relief from the symptoms they treat. This also means they alter body chemistry more significantly making the changes harder to undo and overall recovery far more difficult,” she said. Arche Wellness reports that prescription drug addicts experience far more gastrointestinal distress such as leaky gut and malabsorption, higher levels of anxiety and depression and a substantially longer and more intensive treatment process than patients addicted to illicit drugs.

Arche Wellness will be offering a number of educational forums and seminars throughout September in an effort to educate consumers about prescription drug abuse, enabling addiction and toxicity in middle aged women.

Related Drug Abuse Press Releases

Oklahoma City, OK (PRWEB) August 25, 2010

TheCouragetoLive.com, a blog that advises readers on topics like drug abuse, relationships, and physical and sexual abuse, has released several new pages, including “Codependent Relationships,” “Over the Counter Drug Abuse,” and “Emotional Healing.”

The page “Codependent Relationships” from TheCouragetoLive.com describes a type of dysfunctional relationship known as codependency. The article states that codependent relationships arise when one or both partners feel an unhealthy or potentially destructive debt toward one another. The page describes the personalities of those who are in codependent relationships, and even gives some rational as to the reason these relationships form.

“Over the Counter Drug Abuse,” published on TheCouragetoLive.com, discusses the popularity of over the counter drug abuse. Though most over the counter (OTC) drugs are not as popular as prescription medication, according to the page, two OTC drugs are abused by teens and young adults: cough syrup and diet pills. Cough syrup containing Dextromethorphan can induce a high when consumed in high quantities. Laxatives and diet pills, on the other hand, are said to be abused by teens to control weight. The article mentions that diets pills, unlike cough syrup, are physically addictive.

“Emotional pain can last a long time, leading to depression and anxiety,” asserts TheCouragetoLive.com on the page “Emotional Healing.” The page describes the variety of situations from which emotional pain can form, including the death of a friend or family member, and potential ways to help cope with the pain. Emotional healing, the page suggests, might be released with therapy, exercise, or help from a local spiritual mentor.
