Others have had to overcome sickness or are grieving the loss of loved ones. Our lives are different now – and so much of what we expected has changed. We are resharing this blog, originally published in 2019, about the importance of addressing loss and grief. The extenuating circumstances we all face today make protecting our mental and physical health even more critical. We will be discussing more about managing loss and grief in the coming weeks.

    Originally posted on  Pinnacle Treatment Centers Drug addiction, drug abuse, substance abuse, and  substance use disorder  are all terms which are oftentimes used to describe or define the same thing. And often with these terms come long-standing stigmas surrounding anyone who is labeled as suffering from drug addiction. Addiction, including  drug addiction , is a multifaceted issue that impacts people from all walks of life. Addiction is said not to discriminate and study upon study has found this to be true. While there are trends amongst those with substance use disorders (SUDs) or drug addictions, addiction to drugs or alcohol can affect anyone. Individuals from all genders, education levels, family backgrounds, socio-economic levels, occupations, etc. have all found themselves in the  grips of drug addiction . One of the most commonly misunderstood aspects of addiction is the conception that the person with the problem lacks the morals or willpower to quit. Observers who

LOS ANGELES, April 27, 2020 – The LA Injury Group, with a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer team, recommends that drivers obey all speed limits regardless of how much traffic is on the road in Southern California. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, people drive less frequently, leading to less traffic. In turn, drivers are driving at faster and faster speeds. Recently, “Car and Driver” Magazine reported a 48% increase in average Los Angeles car speeds. This has led to car accidents that have gravely injured drivers and passengers. As the COVID-19 pandemic has put a strain on healthcare resources, that can make it much more difficult for injured parties to receive the proper care. The California Highway Patrol has given out more speeding tickets to people driving that much faster. For example, from March 19, 2020 to April 19, 2020, the California Highway Patrol gave out 2,493 tickets for speeding more than 100 mph. During that period last year, the number of tickets written was 1,335.

Talleur, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Aegis Treatment Centers, a Pinnacle Treatment Center Network Opioid abuse has become an epidemic. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), data from 2018 revealed that  every day 128 people in the United States alone die from an overdose on opioids . Not only are these deaths tragic and heartbreaking but many of these people leave behind spouses, children, parents, siblings, and friends who suffer indefinitely from the loss. Addiction impacts more than just the person with the  substance use disorder (SUD) . According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the estimated cost in the United States for opioid misuse is around $78.5 billion dollars. This includes costs for healthcare, addiction treatment, institutions, the criminal justice system, and more. And the economic burden continues to rise as do the overdose rates. What are Opioids?

    Originally posted on  Pinnacle Treatment Centers Drug Rehab Near Me Drug rehabs are centers that provide programs, therapies, and counseling that is aimed at treating a specific addiction. The issue could be  drug abuse ,  alcohol use disorder , or  Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) , and the rehab treatment/programs will differ based on the condition treated. Drug rehabs provide individuals with drug addiction, the hope, assistance, and care they need to overcome their disease and make positive changes in their lives by adapting their behaviors. Individuals will gain the opportunity to learn about healthy coping skills, impulse control, emotional regulation skills, and drug refusal strategies that will benefit them in refraining from the addiction. However, for a drug rehab center or program to be useful, the individual should have the desire to change his/her way of living and should take efforts to follow the program to completion successfully. As you take on the brave decision to

    Originally posted on Eleanor Health Across the world, the COVID-19 outbreak continues to disrupt daily life for millions of people. To keep people safe and control the spread of the virus, health authorities and government agencies continue to put restrictions in place that impact how people work, travel, shop and socialize. As more restrictions roll out and concerns arise, there may be some confusion about what all of this means for addiction treatment. Given the current circumstances, some people may assume that this isn’t the right time to get help for their addiction. In reality, there is no bad day to start your recovery. As part of our response to COVID-19, Eleanor Health is taking steps to continue providing treatment while protecting our members and staff alike. In support of those efforts, we are pleased to announce that we extended our telehealth services to now include virtual intakes for new members.

Originally posted on Eleanor Health As the COVID-19 outbreak spreads and mandatory social distancing seems likely to extend for several weeks, addiction treatment as we know it has changed in several ways. From new patient intake to peer support groups, treatment programs have had to alter how different components are provided in order to protect the health of patients and staff alike. These changes have significantly impacted people who use methadone for medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as part of their overall treatment plan. How MAT Works Medical research studies show that MAT reduces the risk of death from overdose by as much as 60% in a year. When used properly, MAT can help to reduce substance cravings and increases the likelihood of a successful, long-term recovery. Under normal circumstances, this class of medications falls under strict federal regulations and involves regularly scheduled clinic visits. One of the most common MAT medications prescribed, methadone , requi
