Comment on Weyland Consultation Services – Discrete Outpatient Alcohol & Drug Treatment by Fredrick Wade

I notice several comments about food and food problems. Or perhaps I should say problems related to overeating. However you define I am in strong agreement that food is and continues to be one of the original places people begin to act out some of their addictive traits. This is why you will see many return to food and overeating once sober from other substances. It is not a new addiction but rather in most cases a return to their first drug of choice. Most addicts if they are to sustain ongoing recovery must learn as a part of their new found recovery how to have a healthy relationship with food. Lastly , I would also highlight that food just all of other substances of abuse can kill you or your body from over consumption so do not take lightly the implications of food abuse.

Charley, I am dissappointed to not have heard more from you on the topic of addiction treatment. Perhaps this is busy time for you and you have not been able to devote any time to this subject. I am simply writing to say i really appreciated your thoughts and would love to hear more from you. I am still interested in hearing your thoughts about electric treatment approaches and whether or not you see this as the wave of the future or an anomaly that will fade with time. I for one hope not. I like the idea that there are and will continue to increase our base of ways one might be treated as opposed to the one size fits all approach and default to AA model. I truly look forward to hearing from you and having some lively dialogue. Fred

Agreed. An intervention is but a step in a series of processes that must play out if a person is ever to achieve recovery. I’m curious, one of the things I strongly believe in is that one size does not fit all. As a result of this belief I am far more open to people utilizing a variety of support mechanisms to create an ongoing lifestyle of recovery. For instance, if someone is not interested in using AA, I will suggest LifeRing just to name one alternative format for ongoing recovery support. I would be interested in your thoughts on this idea. It is my belief that by so doing more people will find an avenue by which to enter and sustain recovery if we are more eclectic and have a greater fund of options for people to chose from when seeking a support mechanism. I really appreciated your previous response and would appreciate any time you may lend to this thought also.

The alcohol intervention process does not stop at removing the addicted individual from his/her old environment. Inside the rehabilitation center, s/he will have to undergo detoxification. This is a medical treatment that would help him/her wean alcohol from his/her system. This is done by completely ceasing the patient's alcohol intake but with minimal side effects that are typically caused by withdrawal. Withdrawal symptoms are minimized by introducing controlled doses of medicines which mimic the effects of alcohol in the body. The detox treatment is complete once the patient's body can function normally again without alcohol.
