Healing Through Drug And Alcohol Detoxification

Our goal at Passages Addiction Cure Center is to lead you through drug or alcohol detoxification safely and as comfortably as possible. We want you to live happily, peacefully, and in good health, being completely free of the need to use addictive substances or behaviors. In order to cure you of your addictions, we need to delve into the causes of your dependency.

There are only four:

• Chemical imbalance
• Unresolved events from the past
• Beliefs you hold that are inconsistent with what is true
• Inability to cope with current condiditions

The first cause of drug and alcohol dependency, chemical imbalance, is at the root of the other three, because when these three problems are present, they create chemical imbalances within us. However, even though you could accurately say that chemical imbalance creates drug and alcohol dependency, you must still gain insight into the other three problem areas in order to achieve full understanding of the underlying factors before complete rehabilitation can occur. We invite you to read more about our founders' methodology in Chris Prentiss's breakthrough new book, The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure. It will open your eyes as never before about alcoholism and addiction.

DETOXIFICATION IS PART OF THE BODY'S NATURAL HEALING PROCESS

Thousands of active enzymes and countless chemical reactions are at work continuously to cope with the poisons we put into ourselves. All alcoholic beverages contain the drug ethanol. Alcohol and ethanol are the same thing. Ethanol is what we put in our gas tanks to run our cars. It's what gives us the feeling of euphoria. It's also highly toxic. Used long enough, ethanol kills us slowly and painfully. It's a horrible death. At Passages Addiction Cure Center, we regularly cure people permanently of their dependence on ethanol.

Not surprisingly, alcohol, opiates and other drugs cause damage to the cells, tissues, cell-cell connections in the brain, and even to DNA. When alcohol and other drugs are present in the body for a prolonged period of time, the brain and body expect them to be present, which creates a dependency. When the drugs stop, the body must adjust back to normal, and this is painful.

If you would like a safe, discreet, comfortable place to undergo alcohol or drug detox, please consider calling Passages Addiction Cure Center in Malibu at at your earliest convenience. We have doctors and nurses on staff 24 hours a day to handle even the most extensive, complex drug or alcohol detox and rehab.

SAFE AND COMFORTABLE DETOX PROGRAMS WITH PASSAGES MALIBU

Drug and alcohol detox should be professionally supervised. An abrupt stopping of alcohol intake can lead to seizure (convulsions) or heart attack in severe cases. Hallucinations, sleep disturbance, and anxiety can occur as well. What you can expect at Passages Addiction Cure Center is a smooth transition from dependency to freedom from drugs and alcohol.

What is usually meant by "alcohol detox" or "drug detox" is the collection of physical symptoms accompanying the discontinuation of addictive substances. It hurts when we quit drugs and alcohol and it can be dangerous to come off certain substances too quickly.

Modern medical science has provided us with some excellent medications to minimize the discomfort associated with the detox process. This is why it is important to have professionals who specialize in detox assisting your initial process of recovery. This way you can expect a safe and comfortable detox.

OUR BREAKTHROUGH METHOD MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

We also offer drug rehab and alcohol rehab using our breakthrough drug addiction and alcoholism treatment program.

In many cases, clients at Passages Addiction Cure Center can even begin treatment while in detox including massage, bodywork and one-on-one sessions with the therapists.

THE HOLISTIC PASSAGES DRUG ADDICTION AND ALCOHOL REHABILITATION TREATMENT PROGRAM

In order to achieve your goal of being permanently free of addictive substances, we pair you upon arrival with 10 specialists who will work one-on-one with you every week, and with some you will meet twice each week. This amounts to at least 15 individual sessions per week, for more than 60 individual sessions per month. At the end of each week, your entire treatment team meets with all the other therapists to discuss your particular program and to create a newly tailored program for the following week. Your team includes a clinical psychologist, a hypnotherapist, a spiritual counselor, a medical doctor we recommend, an acupuncturist, a drug and alcohol counselor, a marriage family therapist, a nutritionist, a physical trainer, a life purpose coach, a continuing care specialist for when you leave Passages, and a massage therapist. In addition, our two directors, Chris and Pax Prentiss are available to meet with you individually. That level of care is simply not available at any other substance abuse treatment center in the world.

The holistic treatment approach at Passages Addiction Cure Center, with the highest success rate in the country, includes:

You might want to compare any other treatment program to ours to see where you would like to go to be permanently cured of your dependency.

Patrick Hanaway, M.D., medical director of Genova Diagnostics in North Carolina says, "A multidisciplinary approach like the one used at Passages…allows the treatment team to more clearly see all of the aspects of an individual, like seeing all of the facets on a diamond. Whereas one therapist may not see the 'flaw' in the diamond, many therapists who are all searching for it in different ways are more likely to discover it and set the person on the right path toward healing."
