Mountainside Announces Family Treatment and Education Component

Mountainside Drug Rehab in CT has announced it has expanded its drug addiction treatment offerings to include a family program component. The Mountainside Family Wellness Program will have a focus on understanding the disease of drug and alcohol abuse and how it impacts everyone in a family, constructive problem resolution and continuing care for the whole family.

Participants of the Family Wellness Program at Mountainside will learn about various family dynamics and tools that they can use build healthy family systems with someone in recovery from substance abuse. In addition, specific information regarding the family member that has entered drug and/or alcohol rehab is incorporated to ensure a lasting recovery for the client and healthy family dynamic.

A key component of the course is to help understand what behaviors are helpful, expected and harmful to a substance abuser in recovery.

“Families are the hidden victims of drug addiction, enduring enormous levels of stress and pain. They often suffer sleepless nights, deep anxiety and physical exhaustion brought on by worry and desperation. Many times family members carry the burden of a loved ones drug addiction, and it acts as a weight that prohibits them from living healthy lives.

The Family Wellness Program at Mountainside Drug Rehab is designed to help the family recover from these symptoms and become part of the solution. Having a family member in drug rehab or a treatment center for alcohol addiction can be difficult for all that are involved and can often cloud our ability to make the right decision when it comes to helping that family member in to treatment or even more importantly when they get out of treatment. When education is given, with the proper tools and follow up – successful outcomes are more likely to follow.

The goals of this program are: 

• To educate families about addiction as a disease 
• Encourage participants to examine their roles in the family system 
• To provide strategies for identifying and addressing addictive behavior 
• Understanding the disease of addiction involving drug and alcohol abuse
• Constructive problem resolution
• Continuing care for the whole family

New Technology That Enhances Pre-Natal Bonding

As an expectant mother, her first official Mother’s Day doesn’t have to be next year, after her special delivery arrives. Here are five unique ideas to make this Mother’s Day special for the expectant mother.

Precious Glance, a leading imaging boutique, can help celebrate motherhood in all its stages. Its premiere service is its 3D and 4D ultrasound technology. Unlike traditional, black-and-white 2D ultrasounds that show only the skeletal outline of the child, 3D and 4D ultrasounds share the baby in greater detail. 3D ultrasounds show the baby’s tissue, so the result is more like the baby’s first picture. Each contour of the baby’s face can be seen in 3D, which can be enhanced in red tones for further personalization. 4D ultrasounds actually show real-time movement, offering an entirely different bonding experience.

“Our 3D and 4D ultrasounds provide exciting, meaningful ways for mothers to start getting to know their babies – the ultimate Mother’s Day gift” said Chastity Jones, owner of the ultrasound studio . “We offer highly-specialized services to help a mother celebrate one of the most meaningful, intimate times in her life.”

Precious Glance offers gender checks and photography packages, preserving the memory of the expectant mother in all her glory.

Mothers often experience aches and pains like nothing they’ve ever had before. Why not surprise her with hiring a pre-natal massage specialist to ease her discomfort and help her relax?

Throwing a baby shower? Consider Baby Cakes Diaper Design, whose creative specialists concoct decorative, tiered cakes made of diapers and sprinkled with gifts and trinkets guaranteed to make her shower memorable.

Sometimes mom doesn’t have to leave her house to enjoy her gift: If she’s encouraged to stay off her feet, why not hire a concierge to pet-sit, grocery shop, or even run errands for her?

Remember: There’s no reason to wait until next year to start celebrating Mother’s Day if she’s expecting today. She can celebrate the fact that she’s expecting this year, commemorating a time in her life in a way that can’t ever be replicated.
