GivingBackGiving Back

 

As part of our community involvement each month we have decided to honor and support at least one local non-profit organization. The organizations selected will be able to share who they are in our newsletter and all of their employees and volunteers receive a free Happy Hour treatment in our clinics during "their" month as a "thank you" for all they do.

 

Over the past several months we have been honoring different organizations which are now all housed under the parent organization The Next Door Inc. www.nextdoorinc.org.

 

This month, we are featuring: The Klahre House Alternative School.

 

The Klahre House Alternative School uses a combination of experiential and student-centered approaches to treatment and education in order to engage youth in their learning. Students enjoy class sizes of 5-8 students which allow their teachers to create hands-on individualized curricula that honor students' personal diversity and encourage them to explore their own passions while learning.

 

At the Day Treatment Center, professional staff members provide a safe and caring therapeutic environment where young people begin to heal. They use a variety of approaches, including many evidence-based groups, in working with young people.

For additional information, please contact David Dye, Treatment Services Manager at 541-436-0347 or davidd@nextdoorinc.org.

 

Do you have a local non-profit organization you would like to recommend we honor?

 

If so, please email us with their contact information!

Regular Acupuncture treatments can help you quit smoking

 

Most smokers know how hard it is to quit. In fact, they'll probably tell you they've quit two or three time already. The addiction to nicotine is as strong as that of heroin. Besting this kind of power is difficult and requires tremendous willpower. Acupuncture is not a magic cure for any kind of addiction, including smoking, but it does make it easier to quit and stay smoke-free.

 

You can benefit from including regular Acupuncture treatments when you are trying to quit smoking

When employing Acupuncture, each person is custom-treated according to their specific, unique diagnosis. A combination of body and ear points are used that influence the organs and energetic pathways associated with smoking. There is also a focus on stress reduction to help with the jitters, the cravings, the irritability and the restlessness that people commonly complain about when they quit. Often we will also prescribe herbs or supplements to control cravings or withdrawal symptoms.

 

The length, number and frequency of treatments will vary from person to person. Some symptoms are relieved after the first treatment, but because quitting is a process that takes time for the body and mind to process we recommend a series of treatments to assist you in achieving your goal. This can include a combination of regular appointments and "Happy Hour" sessions (treatments focused specifically on stress reduction and overall happiness).

 

In the meantime, choose a quit smoking plan that sounds doable, whether it's "cold turkey" or slowly reducing nicotine intake over time. Pick a quit date and stick with it. If quitting smoking is your goal, we'd be happy to help you in any way we can, and wish you great success.
