ALCOHOL REHABILITATION CENTER
Alcohol Rehabilitation Center Comments (3)
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (or NIDA), more money is spent each year promoting the use of alcohol than any other product. Perhaps through its elaborate and creative marketing, the most basic, yet most important fact about alcohol is often overlooked – alcohol is a drug – the most commonly used and widely abused psychoactive drug in the world. And because of the problems which generate from alcohol abuse or dependency, alcohol rehabilitation centers are quickly becoming their own cottage industry. Alcoholism in women especially – a problem which has only recently begun to be acknowledged, let alone studied – has been predicted by many substance abuse professionals to be far greater and serious growing pandemic than anyone ever imagined.
Don’t believe it? Just ask Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Amy Winehouse, Courtney Love, Eve, Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton, Rebecca De Mornay, Brigitte Nielsen, Eva Mendes, Angie Everhart or Kirsten Dunst – just a few of the female celebutantes convicted of drug and/or DUI charges and/or who entered an alcoholism treatment center of some sort in just this past year.
But it’s not only the rich and famous who struggle with alcohol dependency. According to some national statistics, almost twenty percent of American adults suffer from some form of alcohol abuse or dependency. Unfortunately, the percentage of those who actually enter an alcohol rehabilitation center is far fewer, while the cost, in terms of domestic, legal and health problems which result from chemical dependency, is untold.
There is good news, however, especially for the women. Unlike the past, when the only options available in an alcohol rehabilitation center were large programs like Hazelden, The Betty Ford Center or Sierra Tucson , a new wave of more progressive, successful and individualized drug and alcohol rehabs have improved upon the generic model of those early pioneers in alcohol treatment. Gender specific alcohol rehabilitation centers have become especially popular in recent years and, although those created specifically for women are still rare, a few highly respected and professionally endorsed programs, such as Harmony Place Exclusively For Women in California, are leading the pack by providing a less threatening and more specialized form of dual-diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment for women who struggle with alcohol abuse or chemical dependency.
