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.

Addiction Transformed into Cancer.

Every CELL in your body has it's own INTELLIGENCE and is able to listen to what you are thinking, feel what you are expressing, and become what you are consuming.

One of the most known ADDICTIONS that TRANSFORM into CANCER is Cigarette Smoking & Tobacco Chewing, which can turn into lung, throat or lymph-node cancer. Alcoholism & Drug Abuse can turn into liver, colon/rectum, or pancreas cancer. Other types not mentioned here could occur as well. My intention is not to give a comprehensive list.

Besides Substance Abuse, repetitive negative thinking, and suppressing negative emotions such as anger, resentment, and hatred, and even milder emotions such as irritation, annoyance, or frustration can easily MANIFEST into ILLNESS. This illness can be physical, emotional, or spiritual.

When you are in a STATE OF BALANCE- mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically- illness simple can't settle in your body. Most people have not been taught how to deal with stress and negative thinking, and don't know how to live a BALANCED LIFE.

This is where MOFFITT WELLNESS RETREAT in LUXURY STYLE, comes into the picture. IT IS TIME to take 1, 2, 3, or even 4 weeks off to BRING BALANCE back into your life and not only BEST ADDICTION, but the possibility of cancer as well.

Your Wellness Journey can BEGIN by CALLING: 1-713-907-5632. Wether you need to heal from addiction or need to bring homeostasis back into your life, call today, you deserve to save your life.

How to Overcome what leads into an Addiction.

There are many aspects in one individuals life. One dimension can be that we are trying to overcome something from the past, present, or even from an idea of the future. This burden that some of us carry stays connected and roots into our very nature. It is something that no one can see, and it is something that only the seer of life can understand fully to the essence that the burden really is. It can take us into a spin and never hang us out to dry. The spinning and spinning, round and round the burden takes over and never let's go. Mentally we are anguished by the very nature of our existence, and we look for peace in all the wrong places.

Here, Now, Today, is the time to OVERCOME. To Overcome the feelings of Anguish. To Overcome Jealously. To Overcome Pain. To Overcome Uncertainty. To Overcome Anger To Overcome Confusion. To Overcome Fear. To Overcome the Pattern of Negative Thinking.

Am I an Addict?

Only you can answer this question.

This may not be an easy thing to do. All through our usage, we told ourselves, “I can handle it.” Even if this was true in the beginning, it is not so now. The drugs handled us. We lived to use and used to live. Very simply, an addict is a person whose life is controlled by drugs.

Perhaps you admit you have a problem with drugs, but you don’t consider yourself an addict. All of us have preconceived ideas about what an addict is. There is nothing shameful about being an addict once you begin to take positive action. If you can identify with our problems, you may be able to identify with our solution. The following questions were written by recovering addicts in Narcotics Anonymous. If you have doubts about whether or not you’re an addict, take a few moments to read the questions below and answer them as honestly as you can.

“Am I an addict?” This is a question only you can answer. We found that we all answered different numbers of these questions “Yes.” The actual number of “Yes” responses wasn’t as important as how we felt inside and how addiction had affected our lives.

Some of these questions don’t even mention drugs. This is because addiction is an insidious disease that affects all areas of our lives—even those areas which seem at first to have little to do with drugs. The different drugs we used were not as important as why we used them and what they did to us.

When we first read these questions, it was frightening for us to think we might be addicts. Some of us tried to dismiss these thoughts by saying:

“Oh, those questions don’t make sense;” Or,

“I’m different. I know I take drugs, but I’m not an addict. I have real emotional/family/job problems;”Or,

“I’m just having a tough time getting it together right now;” Or,

“I’ll be able to stop when I find the right person/get the right job, etc.”

If you are an addict, you must first admit that you have a problem with drugs before any progress can be made toward recovery. These questions, when honestly approached, may help to show you how using drugs has made your life unmanageable. Addiction is a disease which, without recovery, ends in jails, institutions, and death. Many of us came to Narcotics Anonymous because drugs had stopped doing what we needed them to do. Addiction takes our pride, self-esteem, family, loved ones, and even our desire to live. If you have not reached this point in your addiction, you don’t have to. We have found that our own private hell was within us. If you want help, you can find it in the Fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous.

“We were searching for an answer when we reached out and found Narcotics Anonymous. We came to our first NA meeting in defeat and didn’t know what to expect. After sitting in a meeting, or several meetings, we began to feel that people cared and were willing to help. Although our minds told us that we would never make it, the people in the fellowship gave us hope by insisting that we could recover. […] Surrounded by fellow addicts, we realized that we were not alone anymore. Recovery is what happens in our meetings. Our lives are at stake. We found that by putting recovery first, the program works. We faced three disturbing realizations:

1. We are powerless over addiction and our lives are unmanageable;
2. Although we are not responsible for our disease, we are responsible for our recovery;
3. We can no longer blame people, places, and things for our addiction. We must face our problems and our feelings.

The ultimate weapon for recovery is the recovering addict.”

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
