Sadly, as a referral resource helping addicts and their loved ones find effective drug rehab in Georgia, I’m often at a loss to help my Clients. Sometimes I’m at a loss finding the right program to treat a difficult case with unusual circumstances. More often, I’m at a loss finding the right words to [...]

“What an ultra luxury Christian drug rehab program says about the effectiveness of drug rehab in Georgia.”
The first ultra luxury Christian addiction treatment program has opened. That’s good news for wealthy men and women of faith. But not necessarily good news for the average drug abuser. The reason management decided on an upscale environment, food and individualized counseling is because they found that the typical approach used by drug rehab programs [...]
“Imprisoning addicts does nothing to alleviate drug addiction.”
Imprisoning addicts is not the right approach to alleviate the problem of drug addiction in our society. In truth, it may worsen our problem. Time in prison won’t change a person’s addiction, but it will change the way an addict feels about himself and others. He’s no longer a victim of drugs, he’s a bad [...]
“Does Charlie Sheen need rehab? Again.”
Does Charlie Sheen need to be rehab or is he too far gone, a history of drug abuse and addiction the source of his seemingly constant bizarre behavior? I know many people wonder. His rants against Alcoholics Anonymous, his preposterous claims of having tiger’s blood, his volatile behavior at work which caused producers of Two [...]
“Beating addiction…where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
Where there’s a will, there’s a way, so the proverb goes. With that in mind, one would think beating drug addiction would be easy. After all, an addict must have the will to change if he or she has checked into a Georgia drug rehab program. But it’s not will so much as want that [...]
“How to make a change for the better.”
People can change. But to change one must first believe that change is possible and then follow that belief with action. In my spare time I volunteer with Criminon a non profit organization dedicated to addressing the cause of criminality and restoring the individual’s self respect. This group uses discoveries in the field made by [...]
“The other half of an effective rehab program.”
Half assed or half hearted, I can’t say for sure. But I can state with certainty that most Georgia drug rehab programs offer at best half of what an individual needs to beat drug addiction. Most drug rehab programs in Georgia offer life skills programs. Some are useless, based as they often are on psychobabble [...]
“The Power of Addiction.”
If you’ve ever been on a diet and succumbed to a craving, you know the power of addiction. It’s difficult to remain true to your weight loss goal surrounded by so many temptations. The same holds true for any addiction, even the addiction to drugs. Addiction holds a person in it merciless grip as long [...]
“Georgia drug rehab…get it right the first time.”
Given the choice to remain an addict or check into a typical Georgia drug rehab program, I’d choose to remain an addict. You see, the majority of Georgia rehab programs fail their patients. Upwards of nine in ten relapse soon after leaving. I don’t know how many chances I’d get at rehab before I’d give [...]
“The right way to think about Georgia rehab.”
Have you ever known a person who’s right about everything? Of course not. Even the smartest person in the world makes mistakes. Apparently, even Einstein. People asked him for his opinion all the time. About all sorts of things. And just like the rest of us, once you took him outside his element, outside his [...]
