Focus Healthcare of Tennessee is a nationally recognized center of excellence providing individual treatment and advocacy for adults with chemical dependency. Our clinical team believes recovery from addictions is possible. Our Whole Person Treatment approach reflects the value and self worth of the patients encouraging personal responsibility while providing hope that holds the celebrated promise of recovery. Our program includes intensive group and individual therapy, rigorous 12 Step counseling, education, and medical monitoring.
Focus Center for Eating Disorders provides individual treatment and advocacy for women, eighteen and older, suffering from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and associated disorders. We are pleased to have world-renowned eating disorder specialist, Dr. Anita Johnston, as a clinical consultant to out program. The philosophy behind her work and our belief is that disordered eating is a process addiction. The woman with disordered eating is addicted to her eating behavior, and not to food itself. Someone who is addicted to eating is actually starving on an emotional and spiritual level. By providing compassionate, memorable care and practicing well established medical and therapeutic models each patient has the opportunity to embrace our mind, body, and spirit approach to support their lifelong journey in recovery.

November 11th - Veterans Day
A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. Veterans are perhaps the people most often associated with PTSD, or what was once referred to as "shell shock" or "battle fatigue." The Anxiety Disorders Association of America notes that an estimated 15% to 30% of the 3.5 million men and women who served in Vietnam have suffered from PTSD. With so many of our current troops serving multiple deployments, time will tell how PTSD will affect this generation of soldiers. Are you seeing an increase of PTSD victims? Do you have a special program for them? Please tell us about your programs so we can share with our callers and provide services to our couragous men and women.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DRUG REHAB CENTER OFFERS
FREE OUTPATIENT TREATMENT SERVICES TO MILITARY VETERANS WHO HAVE
RECENTLY RETURNED FROM ACTIVE DUTY
A Better Tomorrow Treatment Center Inc. is also offering a 50 percent discount to veterans seeking residential treatment
MURRIETA,
Calif., Feb. 20, 2009 - A Southern California drug and alcohol rehab
center is offering free outpatient treatment services to military
veterans who have returned from active duty during the past five years. A
Better Tomorrow Treatment Center Inc. is also offering veterans a 50
percent discount on its 28-day, residential treatment programs.
"We
continue to see news reports about veterans returning from active duty
overseas who are suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. And
given the strong correlation between PTSD and drug or alcohol
addiction, we think our services would be of significant value to
veterans who need help," said Jerrod Menz, A Better Tomorrow's
president.
A Better Tomorrow will provide free
outpatient treatment services three days a week for up to five veterans
at a time with a maximum of one month of treatment services per
veteran, Menz said.
Veterans who have recently
returned from active duty and need residential treatment will be
eligible for a 50 percent discount on A Better Tomorrow's residential
programs, which normally cost just over $13,000 per month, Menz said.
The discounts will be offered to veterans on an ongoing basis as space
permits.
Based in Murrieta, Calif., A
Better Tomorrow has the highest level of accreditation that can be
obtained by a drug or alcohol treatment center. The clinic is
accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation
Facilities (CARF), placing it in the top 5 percent of drug and alcohol
treatment clinics in California. For more information about A Better
Tomorrow, please contact Jerrod Menz at (800) 757-9867. Additional
information is available on the clinic's website at www.abttc.com.
