Brain Training Centers of Florida Helping Addicts To Recover With A Mind,Body,And Spirit Treatment Plan.

THE CENTER OF YOUR SOUL By Jack Kelly

The Renewal Centre at Crossroads is designed to offer people in various stages of recovery.

An opportunity to revive and refresh, their recovery

The Renewal Centre at Crossroads is designed to offer people in various stages of recovery an opportunity to revive and refresh, their recovery experience. We provide a safe, supportive environment to explore various issues with an emphasis on creating balance in one’s life. Through staff facilitation and group interaction, participants experience a powerful week of self awareness and rediscovery.

All of our recovery retreats are founded in the Twelve Steps as well as the Crossroads Centre whole person approach to recovery. This means that in addition to Twelve Step studies, lectures, facilitated group discussions and individual assignments, participants are introduced to complementary therapies such as: yoga, fitness activities, meditation, and massage therapy. Our recovery retreats, while providing an opportunity for intensive self-discovery and awareness, also combine off -site activities unique to Antigua to make for an enriched experience. As our participants know only too well, Antigua is the perfect place to continue the journey of recovery.

Please note: If in recovery, these programs are designed for individuals with a minimum of 60 days of abstinence/ sobriety. People who are actively using alcohol or drugs additively are not appropriate for this program. Crossroads Centre is an alcohol and drug-free facility and all participants are expected to adhere to this policy.

Reinvent Your Recovery Recovery is about more than just abstinence or sobriety. It involves continued growth and attention in order to develop into something that is healthy and vital, yet it is common for people in various stages of recovery to feel that there is something missing or less satisfying in their personal recovery. Through lectures, small group sessions and various complementary therapies, we will help participants reinvent their recovery experience into something that is dynamic and vibrant. All of this takes place in breathtaking Antigua West Indies, and incorporates the many sights, sounds and experiences of this nature island. Whether you are looking for quiet reflection and spiritual reconnection or shared fellowship and adventure, this renewal retreat has something to offer everyone.

Sound Pillow -Drug Rehab Centers Reduce Stress Though Sound.

Sound Pillow represents another way in which the philosophy of holistic healing is used to support the physical, mental and spiritual growth for addicts. Healing Sound Pillow  uses a pillow to reproduce sound from any listening device to help addicts to reduce stress and create a sense of balance within and around them. Traditional spiritual and healing practices have recognized the power of sound for thousands of years. Chants, church bells, drumbeats and sung or spoken rituals have been used to alter moods, create different energy states and to facilitate communication with spiritual powers throughout history.

All these practitioners have intuitively understood that sound represents energy, energy which can be transmitted and used by humans to reach higher levels of health and consciousness. Practitioners of this ancient ritual enjoy a more complete relaxation and deeper focus during meditation, resulting in greater levels of stress release.

The Sound Pillow offers a rewarding alternative therapy that can be integrated into a client’s lifelong meditative practice to reduce the stresses of life that addicts all look to escape.The Sound Pillow put one on every client’s bed and the new comers will have help dealing with those sleepless nights. The new comer complaint list is as followed: I Can’t Sleep have Anxiety I mind always races I can’t focus I feel stressed I can’t concentrate Fear keeps me up Not knowing my future is making me angry This with many more very confusing conversations are going on in the newly recovered addicts head. Help The Band Stop playing introduce the Sound Pillow to your Addiction Treatment like the other treatment centers around the country.

Patients’ privacy rights are a hot topic these days, and the government and other agencies have gone to great lengths to make sure everyone’s privacyis respected. There are now the HIPAA forms and the doctor and hospital paperwork that ensure patients’ privacy. Privacy is also an important issue when it comes to substance abuse treatment.

Patients’ privacy rights are a hot topic these days, and the government and other agencies have gone to great lengths to make sure everyone’s privacyis respected. There are now the HIPAA forms and the doctor and hospital paperwork that ensure patients’ privacy. Privacy is also an important issue when it comes to substance abuse treatment.

Reasons for Secrecy

Maintaining a comfortable level of privacy is important when it comes to addiction treatment. Many people look for a treatment facility that can guarantee confidentiality.

There are many reasons why someone wants to keep their addiction and treatment confidential. Someone’s job might be in jeopardy if their employer or co-workers find out about their addiction. Other people might face problems at school or with a coach or supervisor if word gets out. Most people, however, simply do not want the social repercussions that come with admitting to a drug or alcohol problem. They don’t want neighbors, co-workers, or even friends and family to know about their problem or that it is serious enough to require treatment.

That’s why many treatment facilities pride themselves on complete confidentiality. These facilities have created ways to help patients keep their treatment private. Private transportation, flexible schedules, coordination of care at a single facility, and confidential paperwork and communication are all ways that an addiction patient’s privacy can be maintained.

Being Open and Honest

While complete privacy is best in some situations and can be acquired for any patient, there are times when someone with a drug or alcohol problem should consider coming out into the open with their struggle. The whole town doesn’t need to know, nor do all of your co-workers or your friends on Facebook, but confiding in an understanding friend or loved one does have its benefits. A loved one can offer support and encouragement both during treatment and afterwards. This can be very helpful for when the patient goes back home after treatment. If the whole addiction and recovery process has been a secret all along, it will be more difficult to go back to regular life and try to stay sober. On the other hand, if a person coming home from treatment has close friends and family waiting to encourage and help them with their task of sobriety, the person will be more likely to succeed.

Of course, a patient should be able to decide who should know about their substance abuse. A treatment professional can help the patient make the right choice when it comes to what loved ones to confide in. If it is just a feeling of shame that the patient is trying to avoid, maybe keeping their addiction a secret isn’t that healthy. It may be necessary to deal with embarrassment for the time being in order to have the support of loved ones and the best chance at a lifetime of sobriety.
