Treatment Center Announces New Sobriety for Life Program
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) March 3, 2010
“We Guarantee Your Sobriety” is the groundbreaking announcement from Journey Healing Centers, an internationally recognized drug and alcohol treatment facility, with their new Sobriety for Life Program. Journey Healing Center’s residential, outpatient and sober living programs have assisted thousands of families heal from addiction through customized Treatment Programs, and their team is taking the next step by guaranteeing sobriety for life for their clients.
“We are facing a real crisis globally with addiction and our loved ones are dying. This is why Journey has taken a stand for sobriety and saying, enough is enough!” says, Lisa Lannon, Co-Founder. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), alcohol abuse is the third leading “preventable cause” of death in the United States, and the statistics are alarming.
Sobering Statistics*
Approximately 27 million Americans either use illicit drugs regularly or are “heavy drinkers.” Of these, almost 16 million are estimated to need immediate treatment. And out of this group, 70% are employed and contribute significantly to workplace absenteeism, accident and injuries, decreased productivity and employee turnover.
In 2006 there were 22,073 alcohol related deaths and 38,396 drug-induced related deaths. With the numbers going up every year, it is now in the range of 75,000 alcohol related deaths according to the CDC.
The estimated annual direct cost to our society resulting from substance abuse is more that 0 billion dollars.
“Almost everyone knows someone who is in recovery or deserves treatment from substance abuse, it’s a relief knowing that you can have your loved one back,” says Lisa Lannon, Co-Founder. Journey Healing Centers’ Sobriety For Life Program has been developed to assist those looking for a solution that supports them in their sobriety for life.
What Journey Healing Center’s does to ensure this guarantee is to work closely with families and the client versus only the individual. Everyone in the immediate family may also be involved thru Family Programming and may attend this for Life where they can attend weekly therapy together to continue to support their loved one and to heal as well. Very few programs even have a guarantee, and the ones that do, offer “at best”, a short-term guarantee for 1 year. “We are so confident in our program that we are releasing a Sobriety For Life Guarantee,” announces Kevin Jensen, a JHC Director.
While most people would say sobriety for life is impossible to guarantee, Journey Healing Centers believes strongly that it can happen with the right mindset and support systems. It’s the long-term partnership with a client with free Aftercare for life that makes this guarantee believable. Journey’s Clinical Director, Candice Christiansen, LPC says, “At Journey Healing Centers, we continually see that when clients commit to their recovery, however long it takes, whatever it takes, including following our clinical recommendations, their success rate in maintaining long-term sobriety increases exponentially.”
