A Non-Religious, Non-Profit Criminal and Drug Rehab Program Provides Successful Alternative Sentencing for Offenders - The Second Chance Program in Albuquerque is rehabilitating individuals and reducing recidivism using a successful manualized rehabilitation system from Criminon International. Based on the philosophy that addressing the cause of criminality can rehabilitate the most hardened criminal, the Second Chance Program is gaining status in the US criminal rehabilitation domain. Understanding that restoring a criminal's self-respect through effective drug rehabilitation and classes in communication proficiency, remedial education, life skills, and an innovative series that builds moral reasoning, the program presents an alternative to the judiciary for sentencing criminals. Projection 101 - "Our judgments judge us; and nothing reveals us (or) exposes our weaknesses more ingeniously than the attitude of pronouncing upon our fellows." Paul Valery On the very first day of any psychology class, in lesson one in book one, sentence one in every psychology textbook in any university on the planet, students learn about projection. If you have not been exposed to this concept, you will be now, for it is directly responsible for a great number of the problems you now seem to experience. Projection is not just a theory. Addictions- They Seem To Fit Together Like Pieces In A Puzzle - I'm a person who walked away from both drinking and smoking, after engaging in both activities for more than 15 years, and I've always been perplexed at how so called "addictions" seem to fit together. Smoking cigarettes and drinking go together like Peas and carrots. It was always amazing to me how one seemed to go with the other. Smoking was never quite as satisfying as when alcohol was being consumed. And so to, alcohol seemed to elicit the need to spark up a heater. Alcoholism Cure - Herbs and Ayurvedic Remedies, Alcoholism Treatment - Alcoholism is defined as an irresistible urge to consume alcohol. People suffering from alcoholism are very well aware of the dangerous effects alcohol could have on their bodies, but still they are unable to resist the urge to consume it. They will usually drink beyond acceptable limits and will be in an inebriated state most often, causing embarrassment and inconvenience to the people with them. RVUs- Whose Value Is It, Anyway? - As I discuss career options with a group of third year medical students, I imagine a marketing brochure for psychiatry residencies in a world of mental health parity: The brain is undeniably the most complex organ of the human body. Treatments for diseases of the mind and brain require the intricate understanding of chemistry, physiology, and anatomy common to all branches of medicine, as well as the ability to step outside of oneself to objectively observe personality and emotion. The psychiatrist must tolerate the unsettling awareness of the mysterious relationship between mind and matter, and must help others find their own answers to the mysteries of the human condition. A New View of a 12-Step Process - I recently was thinking about the 12 Steps as they have been shared with me by thousands of clients over the years. I've not been involved in addiction myself, but have worked with so many clients over my career as a therapist and a coach that I feel very familiar with the 12-step thinking. Credit Cards - They are Just Like Drugs - Credit cards are just like drugs. There is no better analogy. They offer short-term pleasure and long-term pain. They give the illusion of having more money than you actually do. Then you live with less because each month a portion of your income is siphoned away paying past credit debt. Drug Addiction Treatment, Do You Need Help? - Substance dependency treatment is available to assist any individual with an addiction or substance use problem. Each treatment is tailored to individual needs so that they can learn to control their addiction and live normal, productive lives. Let's start with these suggestions: First, you need to admit your problem. This first step may be the hardest step to seeking the drug addiction treatment you need. Addiction - Are Bad Habits Really That Hard To Stop? - The dictionary describes addiction as: the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. Okay, now we know exactly what an addiction is. Sobriety Birthday - "Foul is fair, fair is foul" said by the one and only Shakespeare. Boozing might be heaven for you but at the same time poison for others. It is simply because your life partner is too irritated with your alcoholic machismo and your friends are bored with your gibberish that you utter while deep intoxication. You may feel absolutely wonderful, the ruler of the entire world amazingly and flying in the air to cherish your addiction, but as soon as it gets over you feel absolutely disgusting because you dizzily remember all the stupid, obnoxious things you have done with them whom you love and without whom your life would be simply miserable. If you love to booze and sometimes lose control over yourself, its high time buddy. Coping Responsibly with Addiction - Do You Get It? - Preventing and Coping with Problems While preventing a problem before it happens is usually "better" than facing the problem, typically it also involves a different level of complexity. Let me explain. Preventing genital herpes or AIDS, for instance, is obviously "better" AND far easier to deal with than curing these diseases. In fact, given our current medical knowledge, both genital herpes and AIDS are without cure. As another example, consider unwanted pregnancy. Again, unwanted pregnancy is far easier to prevent and usually less difficult to cope with than an abortion or bringing an unwanted child into the world. As a final example, think about the people who have lost their driver's license for six months due to the fact that they got caught driving with marijuana in their vehicle. The Internet: The Latest Form of Addiction? - Internet-Related Addictions In my travels through cyberspace, I have noticed an increasing number of websites and blogs discussing various forms of Internet-related addictive behavior. The False High of Addiction - The Doctor Who Had Everything While scanning the information on the Titusonenine blog, I recently read a post entitled "A Bout With Addiction, for the Doctor Who Has Everything" that captured my interest. According to the post, Dr. G. was an anesthesiologist who became addicted to drugs. After entering a drug rehab clinic, unfortunately, he never returned to his medical practice. The Need for Excitement Dr. The Effects of Smoking and Drinking On Mental Proficiency - Smoking Can Prime the Brain for Later Addiction An article entitled "Adolescent Smokers Have A Greater Risk Of Developing Alcohol-use Disorders Than Nonsmokers" by Richard A. Grucza, and Kevin W. Chen revealed research findings that are problematic at best. Perhaps the most disturbing was this: research suggests that smoking "primes" the brain for later addiction to alcohol and perhaps other drugs. When added to the following statistic, this information is very disconcerting: alcohol and smoking, when considered independently or in combination, account for more than 20 percent of the annual fatalities in the United States. The Mixed Messages in our Society About Drinking Alcohol - An Issue of Mixed Messages How can something as prevalent, accepted, and accessible in our society as drinking alcohol be so harmful, unhealthy, AND illegal when consumed at or slightly above moderate intake levels? The simple asking of this question immediately uncovers a number of issues, one of which is the mixed messages that exist in our society about drinking alcohol. The Accessibility and Acceptability of Alcohol On the one hand, consider the thousands upon thousands of bars and taverns in the United States. Now add to this list the restaurants, night clubs, sporting events, festivals, state fairs, hotels, casinos, carnivals, etc. where alcoholic beverages are regularly served. The Basics EVERYONE Must Know About Alcoholics Anonymous And Addiction Treatment - One of the oldest forms of dealing with addiction is to be a member of Alcoholics Anonymous (simply known as AA). Many people that are getting to know about this group of people recently are having some misconceptions about the group. Some people see them as a bunch of unserious people with no effective means of dealing with the problem of alcohol addiction. Internet Addiction Anonymous - It is well known that there are many on-line users who are seriously addicted to the Internet. This addiction develops slowly, much in the same way as drugs or alcohol. It is easy to miss the point when one stops controlling his or her actions and addiction takes over. I know being one of those who missed the point a long time ago. Today I am trying to analyze how this happened and what the reasons were that brought me into this hopeless condition. At first, I would occasionally use the Internet just for fun-to read anecdotes or chat on ICQ. 15 Exciting and Crazy Things To Do After You Quit Smoking - Are you a smoker who spends at least $ 3.50 for a pack every day or $1,277.50 a year? That is a lot of money, so let us look at different ways of utilizing your "cigarette" money once you quit smoking. For the single pack smoker you could: 1. Go to the movies with your friend once a week, every week. 2. Buy pizza 122 times a year. 3. Quitting the Negative Cycle of Excuses and Addiction - Dulling the Pain I have heard people say that they abuse alcohol and drugs to "dull the pain." In fact, many of these same individuals state that almost everyone they know has a need to "dull the pain" somehow. Question: doesn't life present all of us with pain? At the risk of sounding superficial, we need to stop our "paralysis by analysis," stop searching for "the secret to life," admit that we are all in some sort of pain, and start developing healthy, fulfilling, and productive actions, beliefs, and habits. Life's Setbacks and Frustrations There are many disappointments and frustrations in life. Beyond Sobriety - Congratulations! Now that you are sober, you have released yourself from the bonds of your addiction.
