The Decision to Hire an Interventionist
In a perfect condition, someone who is suffering from any type of addiction will understand that they are only doing themselves a lot of harm, but that is not the case because everyone has a free will to do what they want to do. No matter what you tell a drug addict who does not want to quit, you will never get them to change their minds about treatment. Sometimes, drastic situations call for drastic measures and that is why intervention is probably the only recourse. In society, the reality is that there are no perfect conditions for addiction. It is something that is so easily adapted by people who are too weak to push it away. They cannot see around the drugs. All they are concerned about is...
The term counseling intervention has taken on a little different meaning since the A&E show about addictions interventions, although this particular kind of intervention has been around since Vernon Johnson began it in the 1970's, I believe. To me though, as a domestic violence and anger management trainer, the words counseling intervention mean interventions that I use in my counseling sessions. Those interventions come from Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential or Experiential models, from the 12 Steps, from Grief Counseling, from journaling models, from Gestalt, from T.A., from any number of counseling models, from brainwave and heart rate variability...

If you think personal injury protection isn't necessary then you really haven't been paying attention to the latest batch of accident statistics involving vehicles! This should not be considered a selfish act as there are other people to think about if you are gifted wit a family that will need financial support. As with many things in life, it is often those that need something the most that cannot afford it and this type of insurance does not always fit into the average family's monthly expenses. It is important to remember the protection should cover everything that is required otherwise it is a waste of time and money. Throughout most parts of America today, injury insurance has become required...
How Food Addiction is Similar to Drug Addiction
Some people are indeed addicted to food and in some cases they treat eating almost like a drug. Those who are really addicted to food can develop all sorts of problems in their life as a direct result of eating too much, or eating unhealthy foods. One of the bigger hurdles with eating addiction comes from the fact that the recovery strategy cannot really be complete abstinence from all food, like we would do for drugs or alcohol. Instead of this, those who have food addiction have to learn moderation, something this is pretty much seen as an unlikely outcome when it comes to handling other types of addictions. We all have to live to eat...there is no abstinence-based option for food addiction...
Boundaries, Bottom Lines, and Threats - Knowing...
One of the most frequent questions by family members of alcoholics/addicts is "What's the difference between boundaries, bottom lines, and threats?" Before these significant others get very far into recovery, they hear these terms and are confused. Clearing up the confusion with definitions makes a good beginning, but application gives these concepts the most meaning. A bottom line is tangible definition of what you will or will not tolerate in your life. A threat is a declaration of expectations and consequences if that expectation is not met. The major difference between bottom lines and threats is motivation. One's motivation in communicating a bottom line is to take responsibility for self. When...
First Steps in Medical Writing - Know Your Market

Thirty-one of 75 patients hospitalized for opioid detoxification told physicians they first became addicted to drugs legitimately prescribed for pain. Another 24 patients started their addiction with prescription pills from a friend or a parent's medicine cabinet. The remaining 20 patients said they became addicted on street drugs. This information was reported to physicians at the University of Buffalo. Ninety two percent of the patients in the study said they eventually purchased drugs off the street, primarily heroin, because it is cheaper and more effective than prescription drugs. They told the physicians that they continued using drugs because they "helped to take away my emotional pain and...
The Evil Beast of Addiction
Most of the people I know have one addiction or another. Whether it is an addiction to cigarettes, food or alcohol they all fall into basically the same category. I have an extremely addictive personality. When I give up one addiction I tend to pick up another to replace it. Therefore, I try to pick the least harmful (and legal) things as my addictions.

Depending on what the addiction is the body becomes either physically or psychologically dependent on the activity or substance that is being used. The medical community widely agrees that addiction is a disease. Anxiety and mood disorders...

The Facts About Drug Abuse Intervention
Drug Abuse Intervention Objective The main objective of an intervention is to get the abuser to face the bare facts but in a non-confronting manner. The abuser needs to feel the seriousness of his choices but he also needs to see things in a clear and concise forum. The interventions are usually headed by a specialist who guides the conversation where it needs to go. The fact is that a drug abuser is usually blind to the effects that he has on other people. He may use friends as a point of comparison and feel that his problems are much less than that of his fellow abusers. Drug abusers begin to make the wrong choices and their relationships with family and friends begin to fall apart. They...

In today's day and age, lots of skinny people cannot put on weight no matter how much they eat. Skinny people cannot always be blamed, however, since genes can have a lot to do with it.

There are many reasons why young people turn to drugs. This is but one reason but I think an important one. I am saddened by how in this country education continues to be a place to sort children rather than a place where they come to know who they truly are. I'm frustrated by how public education tends to focus on sameness and content versus uniqueness and meaning. I'm disappointed that youngsters in school learn to compete with each other rather than learning to reach out to one another. One question I hear over and over again from teenagers is "why won't anyone listen to what I want?" The sorting machine drives young people down the path to college and professions exposing them to intense...

Reflexology For Stress Relief

Teenage Separation
"Why are you here on this planet?" That is the question I asked my daughter Mackenzie when she was seven years old. I was shocked by her deep immediate response. She said, "So people can watch me and learn." I asked, "Do you mean to be a teacher?" "No," was her reply. "Do you mean to be an example?" "Yes," she said. "I am here to be an example. I am here so people can watch me and learn." Those were probably the most profound words Mackenzie has ever spoken. Like I mentioned so many times in my book, "Message Sent," she is a great teacher for me. By her example, I see and learn more about myself each and every day. Mackenzie is almost twelve now and is separating from her dad and me. My spirit says...

Changing Teens Require Change in Parenting Skills
The world of a teenager is filled with change. Changing bodies, changing thoughts and feelings, and a changing role in society make it an exciting, uncertain and often confusing time both for the teens themselves and their parents. Much has been written about the changes teens face, but the role of a parent must change as well. Pre-adolescent children naturally defer to the authority of their parents. That is to say their brains are literally wired for this. It is one of the reasons human beings were able to survive for so many thousands of years. In the wild, a child who did not respond to the wishes of their parents did not survive very long. The adolescent brain, however, is wired quite...

It is often seen that friends are the main reasons behind an addiction. For some it is a feat performed for praise. The resulting consequences are not taken into account. The family is also to be blamed. A close watch on the activities of the children of the house is the duty of the elders. The onus is also on them to find out how to smoking marijuana.

Too much of unaccounted expenditure should be checked. The propensity to steal is a clear indication of drug addiction. Health is wealth and so for health reasons the...
