Drug Addicted Mothers and their Babies | Luxury Rehabs Houston

Part One of our series on Drug Addicted Mothers and their Babies

Do you know what happens to Babies Born Addicted?

“Tremors” is what the medical profession calls them, but it doesn’t seem to accurately describe the incessant whole body shaking an infant endures for hours as he withdraws from the drugs his mother took while she was pregnant. While these infants are being weaned from their mothers’ drug of choice, they can suffer any of the following symptoms:

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.

Recovery from Alcoholism | Alcoholic Regrets

Recovery from Alcoholism | Alcoholic Regrets

As I reflect on my life, I have come to understand that being an Alcoholic is a life that I never want to experience again.  As I look into the looking glass, I can fully see the pain I put myself, family, and friends through.  Through this deeper sense of past reality, I can't help but express the need to surrender before regrets begin to pile up and become to great to bear.

Recovery from alcoholism no doubt has it's challenges, but at this point in my recovery I am able to think more clearly and become connected on a different plane.  You ask me, "Is life better?"  SURE, my life and mind are more clear, but it IS different.  You can definitely say my life has never been "normal', or whatever that means, and alcohol made me more comfortable in my skin and a little easier to exist in this crazy world for many many years, so I thought...

When people contact me with concerns about their addiction, I stress to them that not even "I" can say something that will make them shift, but I do tell them to be honest with themselves, and to remove the delusion of reality that they have created within their life.  This is easier said then done, but I continue to guide them towards some glimmer of the truth, in hopes that they begin to reach out and do something before their regrets are built up to high.  The more regrets, the harder it may become to stay sober for any length of time.  

There is nothing we can do about the past, but there is always, I mean always, changes we can do within our present moment.  Even when you think you see there is no way out, there are always small steps that can be taken towards healing.  No step is to small.  So please stop the chaos before there is to much pain.  Don't create any more of a challenge within your recovery and begin to let go and let it take you into a magical ride into the beauty of the unknown.  

Become Optimistic instead of Pessimistic.  The fewer the regrets, the easier the Journey.  You Got This!  Dig Deep and deal with it now before it is to late!  God Bless Everyone that is suffering.  There is another chapter of life awaiting you, just turn the page and press on.

Patience within Recovery

In the beginning stages of recovery we want to heal fast and now. This is a journey and an experience that we have to learn how to do with patience. We need to be fair to ourselves and allow the process to work in our life at a gradual pace. We cannot get upset with ourselves and with our support system if we feel we are not progressing as rapid as we would like. Remember, you didn't get here overnite, so take it easy, it will get better as long as you stay sober and keep your Recovery 1st. When you come into emotional pain, reach out and go to the gym, walk, meditate, or talk to a recovery coach, or a sponsor who has experienced the same difficulties, and let them guide you. Your ego will tell you that you are able to control your issues, and then before you know it you have relapsed. You need to let go of your control issues and let yourself be guided through the process of creating new healthy habits. Once you are able to heart fully connect to the brighter side of life, recovery will become a new lifestyle that you can love and enjoy.

If you are unsure if a Detox and Rehab Program is for you, please call our hotline to discuss at: 1.713.907.5632

Filling the Void | How | New to Recovery

Being in Recovery is a different experience for all of us. For me, alcohol was a great solution to life's problems. It would calm my anxiety, wipe away the fears that stimulated my mind, and at the same time it was an escape from my reality. I believe the road of Recovery gives you the opportunity to go deeper inside the psyche and find what really brings us joy and inner peace. Those of us who have crossed into the depths of addiction found the addiction to be a best friend of sorts, a way of being so the substance could give us comfort. Without our best friend by our side, we now have to come to a place of understanding of what kind of 'void' that substance was filling. Why have I become so out of control, and what can I do to Overcome? 12-Step Meetings, Church, Fitness, Nutritional Changes, or Therapy? All the above or something much more? Whatever it is, our life will take a drastic change from the stimulus life we lead before, but once we find our alternative method(s) of positive healing, what we accomplish will surely be a different life, much healthier, more relaxed and hopefully a little calmer. We need to "let go" and no longer fight against our new path of existence. We need to no longer look at the mistakes weave made because the past is the past and the future has not been written. Learn to enjoy the journey of recovery. Meet new people, find what inspires you, take care of your body. After all we've survived! It's time to re-write your story.

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.

Call NOW to Speak with a Counselor: 1-713-907-5632

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
