Where to turn for help

I know I've blogged about drug rehab recently, but I feel it is important to promote all the non-profit drug rehabilitation referral services available out there. When people need help for themselves or a loved one, they deserve to have many options to choose from for treatment.

These referral programs have an informative website, or a toll-free phone number to call to get matched up with the program that is most suitable. Even if someone just wants more information about drug addiction, the counselors are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer any questions. The site also has useful links and testimonials of success stories.

Recovery is possible in 28 days

There have been a lot of opportunities recently for drug rehab programs, but this one is a brand new 28-day program in Michigan that treats addicts from across the country. Many other programs are very long term and I believe this may scare people off who may otherwise seek help. The thought of leaving your life behind for months at a time may be too much, and a program that can be completed in about one month sounds more attainable.

The news puts Eureka in a bad light sometimes

There has been national coverage on our town of Eureka Springs lately because of the recent bill passed to lessen charges on people found possessing marijuana. Basically, the drugs are still against the law, but the police are putting it at a much lower priority than other crimes. Even though it is still illegal to possess the drugs, everyone thinks Eureka is "pot friendly" because of all the news coverage. I am shocked that there are so many adults who smoke pot. I just assumed people would figure out at a young age how dangerous drugs are and how irresponsible it is to continue them as a parent or grandparent.

I understand, however, that many people are addicted to drugs and have a very hard time giving it up even when they have the best intentions of quitting. I found a drug rehab referral service that matches people with their best option for treatment. Their website has lots of helpful information for anyone who wants more information about the dangers of drug and alcohol addiction and is ready to seek help for themselves or for a loved one. They offer plenty of support options and helpful links as well.

All about wellness

Battle Creek, Michigan, has a long history of devotion to wellness. It was founded by the Kellogg family, who ran a health sanitarium and of course developed Kellogg cereals. They believed deeply in the benefits of saunas and holistic medicine to heal the body's ailments. Their tradition carries on today with a drug rehab center called Stone Hawk. It was started by recovered addicts who are grateful for the help they received and know the importance of helping others.

The center itself is situated in a park-like setting by a private lake. There are 13.5 acres of rolling hills and large oak trees. According to their website, Stone Hawk drug rehabilitation center is the most successful inpatient drug rehab in the country, offering a 76%+ success rate. This is probably due to their counseling methods. They don't believe in teaching morals or rules, but rather show the patient that they can achieve a lifestyle that fits their needs and wants without drugs or alcohol.
