Coping with an addiction problem is tough time for the entire family. Fortunately, just by admitting the existence of the problem, you or your loved one have taken a significant step towards beating the horrible condition one and for all.

Depending on the kind of Florida alcohol treatment center you are considering and the intensity of the problem, there can be substantial variation on the exact list of activities though most Florida treatment centers tend to stick to interpretations of the original 12 step program. This is simply because few other treatment plans have shown the sustainability and long term success of the 12 step model.

Nevertheless, as mentioned earlier, many organizations and mental health professionals have come up with their own variations of the program. For example, many Florida treatment centers now incorporate eastern self-awareness systems such as yoga, meditation, tai-chi etc.

Many alcoholics have benefited from these ancient systems of emotional healing, become more aware as well as more accepting of their own emotional weaknesses. Recovering addicts talk enthusiastically about the sense of peace they have finally achieve after completing one of these programs, admitting that they were consciously or unconsciously searching for something similar when they originally turned to alcohol.

Alternately, you might have opted for a faith-based Florida alcohol treatment center such as a Christian, Jewish or Buddhist de-addiction center. In such a case, the daily activities often include readings from the sacred scriptures of that particular faith (for example, Bible readings for Christians, readings from the Torah for Jews etc) followed by discussions on how the articles of a particular religion applies to those struggling with addiction.

Many Florida de-addiction centers also offer a variety of physical activities as well as community work since studies show that both being around nature as well as performing something constructive for the good of society gives a massive emotional and mental boost to victims of addiction, helping them in their fight against the noxious substances.

The programs that are available for kids and others who are implementing for a certificate do not preach to them; instead they provide hard truth about alcoholic beverages and medication and the problems of generating while generating under the effect of these ingredients.

Finally, all treatment programs insist on some form of counseling and therapy sessions for addressing the emotional dependency on alcohol as well as any underlying hurts or trauma that might be contributing to it. Treatment centers generally offer both individual as well as group counseling since research show that the feeling of community and connection this engenders can tremendously augment the healing process.

Question by Michelle: Trying to get a kid a IEP or placement for day treatment?
I am family advocate and am having trouble getting a mom help at her school, Her daughter has been DX with major depression, a few other things and it is was all caused by a trauma she went thru… sexual abuse by a family member. she is having a very hard time in school, she was in the 80’s now in the 60’s and misses school because she has a hard time facing other people. she has dr’s saying she needs day treatment instead of goingto a regular school, all the support she would need are right there at day treatment. the school did an eval on her but said she is not qualified for special education, they put a 504 plan in place but it is not working that great and the young girl is having alot of difficulty. the school told the mom that if them mom disclosed what trauma the girl had suffered they would consider day treatment. mom does not feel the school has any business knowing what happen as long as they are aware she has suffered trauma and has all the diagnosis’s from her dr’s. mom and I are trying to get her an IEP under the catagory Emotional disturbances, which i feel she falls under, or other mental health but the school just wont do it. Any help or any advice????
I never said I was a special ed advocate 1st of all, I said I was a FAMILY ADVOCATE.. I advocate for the parents, I go to family court, go to CSE meeting to help support the parents. I do not agree that mom does not want to tell the school what her daughters trauma was, i am not in that place to tell them either I do know IDEA.. Wrights law and thats not what I was asking, I am fully aware of the evaluation process for an IEP or 504 plan, I am fully aware that even though mom did not agree with the eval done at the school she can request an IEE at the schools expence by provider that the mom chooses even if the school does not want that evaluator. I amd fulyl aware of child find and all the other special ed laws out there so before you say things know your facts so you dont look like an idiot. An FYI she went from 85’s to 60’s and the school still says they dont see a problem with that, I do!! pretty clear her mental state is effecting her learning it does not take a genius to

Best answer:

Answer by CathyD
Keep pushing the school. And keep calling over heads who tell you no. I don’t believe the school needs yo know what the trauma is. You have Dr confirmation saying she has x issue and needs x treatment. The school has no business in her medical record more then you allow.
