A Promise Before The New Year


It is a custom for Americans to make a promise for the new year, often this promise is to eat healthier, lose weight, exercise more, etc. The theory for making this promise in the New Year is that it will be a fresh start and one will be more motivated to make a change. However, this often tends to not be the case.

The problem with the New Year's resolution, is that all of the fun and excitement of the holidays has come to pass, the weather is still dreary, and there is not a whole lot look forward to in the New Year. By starting a healthy diet early, you can get going on the path to a healthier you early. The excitement of family activities and holiday cheer will keep you powering through your new plan, and by the time the New Year comes, you will already be seeing the first results. Following this different strategy is a great weight loss program for women or men alike.

While this model is good for time-frames, you will still need to find a specific diet, overeating plan, or other types of weight loss plans to help give you a clear and concise path toward your goal. Hungry Heart is one such company that offers various programs that can be tailored to your specific needs; whether you suffer from binge eating, emotional eating, or other special needs, Hungry Heart can help.

Treatment for Teen Drug and Alcohol Use


Abuse of drugs and alcohol is a dangerous thing in individuals of any age, but is even more dangerous for teenagers, as they are still in the cusp of the developmental years. During this time, the brain is still hard-wiring itself, and the possibility of teens being hard-wired for chemical dependency is a very real and frightening possibility.

Kids in the 13 - 18 year old range have an unusually high risk of addiction to drugs and alcohol that can develop within a very short amount of time. The age group may become addicted to a substance after use of a drug or alcohol only once. This is why seeking treatment for teens -- at an early stage -- is so important.

12 step treatment centers are seeing an increased number in teens entering rehab in the past few years. The frightening thing about this, is that they are entering rehab for extremely dangerous chemicals, such as methamphetamine, heroin, and Oxycontin.

If you suspect that your teens are using drugs and/or alcohol, it is essential to seek the help of a drug counselor in order to verify whether or not the problem is advanced enough to necessitate a 12 step addiction recovery program.

Caring Treatment for Dual-Diagnosis Addiction Treatment


A dual diagnosis is defined as a predominate diagnosis -- in this case addiction -- that negatively works in-tandem with an underlying issue. This underlying issue could be anything from depression, repressed memories, mental diseases, or even undiagnosed physical conditions; this underlying issue acts as a catalyst and can even provoke or worsen the chemical dependency itself.

In treating a dual diagnosis involving addiction, the underlying condition must be identified and addressed to ensure that a treatment of the addiction will be successful -- otherwise, only half of the addiction is being treated.

New Dawn Treatment Center, with its dual diagnosis residential treatment programs, understands this concept very well, and strives to treat its patients on all levels.

With four locations in and around the Bay Area of San Francisco -- in Northern California -- New Dawn can successfully treat the problem of addiction in patients, as well as dual, triple, or even quadruple-diagnoses.

Life is a Ride, Make it Count

Fall-Winter season is typically a rough patch for a lot of people. This is the time of year when the previous months are beginning to catch up with everyone. Finances, work issues, family problems... it all seems to come to ahead in the waning days of the year.

With this in mind, take some time out of your day to relax and remember to be thankful for all that you have.

Post Mastectomy Breast Implants


Mastectomies and double mastectomies are the lifesaving operations performed to remove a woman's breasts after the diagnosis of breast cancer. Double mastectomies are also often performed when a woman has not yet been diagnosed with breast cancer, but is in extremely high risk of developing the disease.

The complete removal off a woman's breast may be an operation that saves that woman's life, but it does also have its negative repercussions. Quite often, women endure many negative psychological effects from the loss of their breasts. Breasts are the symbol of womanhood, and often times women can have feelings of inadequacy post-mastectomy; for these women, breast implants may be an option in restoring their self-confidence.

Rocklin Cosmetic Surgery performs many breast augmentations in Sacramento for those who have had mastectomies. The goal in these surgeries is not only to repair the physical altering caused by the mastectomy, but also to restore confidence to these women, and simply make them feel like a whole woman again.

Rocklin stresses that the psychological benefits of cosmetic surgery can be found in other procedures as well, including cellulite treatments, laser liposuction, and even skin tightening.

Located in Sacramento, California, Rocklin Cosmetic Surgery is well respected in the medical community and offers a high level of caring along with their surgical expertise, and strives to give renewed confidence to all of their patients.
