Rehab Program in Puerto Vallarta | A Different Approach

A Different Style makes all the Difference!

There are so many different rehab programs to choose from where it can become difficult in selecting which rehab is right for you.  So many people arrive to rehab and cannot wait to leave.  They get trapped into thinking that there is a quick fix.  How can any addict get much from the experience if they're only counting the days?  I don't think you can have an open mind when you're miserable, hence the reason why I fell in love with our facility in Puerto Vallarta, MX. 

Puerto Vallarta is a place where most people go for vacation, so to create a Drug & Alcohol Rehab at a beautiful destination was the perfect answer to give guests the ability to connect not only to their healing from addiction, but also to the beauty that is wrapped around them.

There will never be more then 4 guests at our facility.  You will receive private, and individual attention and have the opportunity to experience the same things as you would on a vacation.  Adventure Therapy, Counseling, Detox, Nutrition, along with a Personal Trainer is all a part of our program to get sober and healthy.  The better you feel, and the more you are enjoying your experience, the better the chances are that you will keep an opened mind and learn much more about your addiction.

Relapse is talked about as being inevitable, but we believe that once you begin to enjoy being clean and sober, you will realize that life without drugs and alcohol is much greater!!!

It's time to leave all distractions and go on a wellness journey.

Going to Treatment Carries a lot of Anxiety...

Going to treatment for addiction can carry a lot of anxiety for everyone. Both for the addicted and their loved ones. The bridge from active addiction to recovery in a facility where the healing can begin is a very important step! It is also very eye opening to look at your life and wonder how did I get here? It was one of the things I asked myself, but I knew it didn't matter!

How I got here is just part of the story, moving forward is the key in doing this part in a healthy way, and the help of a therapist is a giant step. Most people that enter into a treatment center don't realize how bad their behavior has become and the effect it had on their life or their loved ones.

There's a big sigh of relief the second the decision is made to stop the chaos and begin a journey Drug and Alcohol free! Never, Never, lose hope in yourself or for a loved one battling addiction.

It is a very tough fight, and it is one that kills most people and ruins many life's. Embrace it! Be thankful for another shot at life and enjoy the process. It's not going to be simple but it's very rewarding!

As I tell everyone, there are thousands of recovery places to choose from, so make sure you do some research on your selection because this is the biggest step you will ever take!

What we have here at Moffitt Wellness Retreat is a Healing Community! A place where you simply learn how to live a Sober Life Style. This very skill will help you continue your journey of sober living once you return home.

How to Get Ready for Drug & Alcohol Rehab

How to Get Ready for Drug & Alcohol Rehab

The choice to go to Rehab can be a difficult decision. Below is a list of TIPs developed by recovering addicts at MW to help guide you in the beginning stages of recovery.

Tip #1 The Willingness and Disposition to Quit Suffering

Before you arrive, you need to come to a heartfelt connection with yourself and the desire to be open to the unknown and the willingness to let guidance take place.

Tip #2 Let Go of your EGO and the care of what others will Think.

Your decision for admittance will show how much you care about yourself and the others in your life you have affected.

Tip #3 Don't Binge

Binging will make it that much more difficult to restore yourself in a short amount of time after Detox.

Tip #4 Don't change your Dosing Schedule

One of the main benefits of medical detox, is that you have the care of health professionals that guide you through the process, and monitor your physical and mental health.

Tip #5 Rest

Start to get ready for your trip by drinking some tea, packing summer clothes, writing your thoughts and feelings in a journal and save to read when you return, walk in a park to reflect and prepare for your travels ahead to beautiful Mexico.

Tip #6 Establish a Support System

Confide your decision to friends and family that will support you and give you the guidance that you need in preparing for your trip. If you feel alone or just need extra support, call our Support Line at: 713.907.5632

‘The Fine Line …

‘The Fine Line Between Pain Management And Opiate Addiction’
http://lovefirst.net/wpt/

The media is finally highlighting and doing a pretty good job in discussing the dangers of opiate dependence in relation to pain management. The Fine Line Between Pain Management And Opiate Addiction Those of use working in the chemical dependency field have been watching this snowball over the past decade. In the late 1990′s there were news articles about hilly billy heroin (otherwise known as OxyContin) overrunning rural counties in Maine and Kentucky. Celebrities have been dying from their dependence to prescription medications for years, i.e. Heath Ledger. The media and publicists refer to it as medication mismanagement or an unfortunate interaction with medications. One of my favorite surfers, Andy Irons, died in 2010 from a prescription drug overdose. At the time, and to this day, no one speaks of Irons as an addict. Just that he died of an overdose related to prescription medications.

As a therapist in this field I am witness to the struggle of hundreds of addicts as they fight for their recovery. Some come by the disease innocently, hooked by an open script from a dentist, multiple knee surgeries, and so forth. Others use the relationship with the doctor as a means to protect their disease. “I am not going to stop taking the xanax, my doctor ordered it” or “I still need one vicodin because my back is really damaged and the doctor says that is all that will help.” My personal approach to those responses is simple, please sign the release of information and let us call your doctor together. The disease informs the client that there is no way that Jamie is going to talk to my doctor. This becomes a wonderful opportunity to educate the client about the disease of addiction and how it continues to try to protect itself, even when the client knows that they want to get healthy.

So knowing that there continues to be an increase in prescription drug dependence were do we go from here. I believe that the chemical dependence field must take charge and become a leader in how we treat chronic pain. Our counselors should take an active role in the development and use of non-narcotic pain management programs. The author of this article does a nice job identifying some effective approaches to treating pain without the use of opiates. There needs to be additional programing using EMDR and the mindfulness based therapies. Our field must educate medical professionals and share our knowledge on chemical dependence. Our national groups like NAADAC and ACA and government agencies like SAMSHA and NIDA need to fund campaigns educating the public and professionals to break away from the “pill a day” mentality that fuels our healthcare system. Change is possible but it will require groups of professionals to saying there is a different way to do this.
